This 5-day safari takes you to three of Tanzania’s best national parks. Start with Tarangire National Park, known for its elephants and baobab trees. Then spend two nights in the world-famous Serengeti, home of the Big Cats and the Great Migration. Finish your adventure with a visit to the stunning Ngorongoro Crater, one of the best places in Africa to see the Big Five.
It’s the perfect trip for travelers who want to see lots of wildlife in a short time.
You will be welcomed at Kilimanjaro International Airport by our professional driver-guide holding a signboard with your name. From here, you’ll be transferred to your hotel in Arusha. Take your time to relax after your international flight and enjoy dinner at the lodge.
After breakfast at your hotel in Arusha, your safari will begin with a beautiful drive to Tarangire National Park. The drive takes about 2 to 3 hours, and along the way you will see local villages, farms, and lovely views of the countryside.
Tarangire is famous for its large herds of elephants and its giant baobab trees. These special trees and the green landscape make the park look very unique.
When you arrive, you will enjoy your first game drive in the park. Look out for:
Elephants walking in groups
Lions resting in the grass
Giraffes eating from tall trees
Zebras and antelopes running across the plains
And many colorful birds flying around or near the river
Animals love to gather near the Tarangire River, which is the main water source during the dry season, so this is a great place to see wildlife.
In the late afternoon, you will drive to your lodge or camp, where you will enjoy dinner and relax after a great first day on safari.
After breakfast at your lodge in Tarangire, you will begin your journey to the famous Serengeti National Park. The drive takes you through the beautiful Ngorongoro Highlands, where you will see green hills, farms, and local Maasai villages with their traditional houses and cattle.
As you continue the drive, you’ll enjoy amazing views of the wide landscapes, animals along the road, and even spot some wildlife before you reach the park gate.
When you arrive at Serengeti, you will start an afternoon game drive across the endless plains. This park is known for its large numbers of animals and beautiful views.
During the game drive, you may see:
Lions, leopards, or cheetahs resting or hunting
Zebras, giraffes, and wildebeests grazing on the plains
Elephants, buffaloes, and maybe even hyenas or jackals
Many types of birds flying or resting in the trees
In the late afternoon, you will drive to your lodge or tented camp inside Serengeti, where you can relax, enjoy dinner, and listen to the sounds of the wild at night.
Today is a full day to explore the incredible Serengeti National Park. You’ll start with an early sunrise game drive, a perfect time to see predators in action and animals starting their day.
After breakfast, you will continue your safari adventure through different parts of the park. Keep your eyes open for:
Lions hunting or resting in the shade
Huge herds of wildebeests during the migration season
Hippos in water pools
Ostriches, eagles, and other beautiful birds
You’ll stop for a picnic lunch in the wild and continue game viewing throughout the afternoon.
In the evening, return to your Serengeti lodge or camp for dinner and overnight rest.
After breakfast, enjoy a final game drive in the Serengeti as you slowly make your way toward the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.
On the drive, you’ll have more chances to spot wildlife and admire the beautiful scenery. Along the way, you might see:
Gazelles and warthogs on the plains
Maasai herders with their cattle
The lush forested slopes of Ngorongoro
You will arrive at your lodge on the rim of the crater in the late afternoon. From here, enjoy spectacular views into the crater below and relax with dinner as you prepare for tomorrow’s adventure.
After an early breakfast, descend into the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most remarkable wildlife areas in the world.
Inside the crater, you’ll enjoy a half-day game drive with the chance to see:
The Big Five: lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino, and leopard
Hippos in the crater lakes
Flamingos near Lake Magadi
Hyenas and jackals searching for food
You’ll stop for a picnic lunch inside the crater surrounded by nature.
In the afternoon, drive back to Arusha or transfer directly to Kilimanjaro International Airport for your onward journey, ending your safari with unforgettable memories.
