UncategorizedKorongo Custom Safari Itinerary: Your Ultimate African Wildlife Adventure Guide
Karibu! As a seasoned Tanzania safari guide with over 15 years of experience crafting bespoke Korongo Custom Safari experiences, I’m thrilled to share the insider’s perspective on creating your perfect African adventure. A Korongo Custom Safari isn’t just another package holiday – it’s a carefully orchestrated journey that brings you face-to-face with Africa’s most magnificent wildlife while maintaining the highest levels of comfort and personalisation.
What is a Korongo Custom Safari?
Having guided countless visitors through the sweeping savannas of East Africa, I can tell you that a Korongo Custom Safari represents the pinnacle of personalised wildlife experiences. We’ve moved beyond the one-size-fits-all approach to create journeys that align perfectly with your dreams of Africa. Whether you’re a passionate photographer seeking the perfect shot of a leopard in a fever tree, or a family wanting to witness the thundering hooves of the Great Migration, we craft each itinerary with meticulous attention to detail.
Planning Your Perfect Korongo Safari
Best Time to Visit
As someone who’s witnessed the rhythms of the Serengeti through countless seasons, I can tell you that timing is everything. The dry season (June to October) offers exceptional game viewing opportunities, with wildlife congregating around water sources. However, don’t dismiss the green season (November to December and March to May) – these months bring lush landscapes and newborn animals, plus lower rates and fewer visitors.
For the Great Migration, I typically recommend July to October for dramatic river crossings in the Northern Serengeti, while February is perfect for witnessing the calving season in the Southern Serengeti. Each season holds its own magic, and I’ll help you choose the perfect time based on your specific interests.
Duration Options
From my experience, the sweet spot for a truly immersive safari experience is 7-10 days. This allows you to explore multiple ecosystems without feeling rushed. Our 5-day express safaris focus on key highlights like the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater, while our comprehensive 14-day adventures include hidden gems like Tarangire’s ancient baobabs and the flamingo-lined shores of Lake Manyara.

Tanzania Highlights
The Serengeti isn’t just a national park – it’s nature’s greatest theatre. I’ve spent countless dawns watching lions stalk their prey across the endless plains, and each experience feels as magical as the first. The Ngorongoro Crater, a natural amphitheatre teeming with wildlife, offers almost guaranteed sightings of the endangered black rhino. Tarangire, my personal favourite for elephant encounters, hosts some of the largest herds in East Africa amongst its iconic baobab trees.
Kenya Extensions
For those seeking to expand their East African adventure, the Masai Mara offers a perfect complement to the Serengeti experience. Here, you’ll find similar landscapes but different perspectives, plus opportunities to engage with Maasai culture in a meaningful way.
What to Expect on Your Korongo Safari
A typical day begins with the dawn chorus and fresh-brewed Tanzanian coffee. We head out early when wildlife is most active, perhaps following lion tracks or positioning ourselves perfectly for that golden morning light photographers dream about. Afternoons might include a visit to a Maasai village or a walking safari, before ending with sundowners watching the African sky paint itself in impossible colours.
Practical Information
Our safaris typically range from £500-£1,000 per person per day, depending on accommodation choices and activities. This includes all internal transfers, full-board accommodation, professional guiding, and park fees. We recommend booking 6-12 months in advance, especially for peak season travel.
