Description
Sitting at the northernmost point of Tanzania, sandwiched in between the East African Mountains and Lake Victoria, Serengeti National Park is the perfect destination for a 7-day safari!
Over the course of our one-week adventure, we will explore one of East Africa's most iconic landscapes. Along the way, we will visit the eighth wonder of the natural world and get to see some of Africa's most iconic wildlife.
However, the fun begins in Lake Manyara National Park. Here, we will get the chance to see hippos and buffaloes, among many other examples of African wildlife, all with the backdrop of the stunning lake.
From here, we head to the Ngorongoro Crater – the eight wonder of the natural world. Sprawling over 264 square kilometers (102 sq miles) and boasting walls that are 600 meters high (2,000 feet), the crater is truly immense.
Inside, we will find lakes, forests and plains as well as just about every type of animal that is native to East Africa, including the incredibly rare black rhino and Africa's largest elephants. This is truly one of the most amazing days of the trip.
However, the fun does not stop here. From Ngorongoro, we will head to the vast Serengeti National Park. In the local language, serengeti means "endless plains" and over the course of four days here, we'll find out exactly why.
The first two days will be spent heading out on game drives and getting the opportunity to see Africa's iconic big cats (ie. lions, cheetahs and leopards) as well as zebras, hyenas and antelopes.
The last two days will be spent in search of the Great Migration of two million wildebeests. Depending on the time of year, this may take us to very different and unique parts of the massive park.

What people are saying about Explore-Share
Man
Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!
Maxine
Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
