5-Day Tanzania Safari through Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire

Depart from Arusha in the morning and drive to Tarangire National Park, where you will discover the true enormity of the deserted termite mounds and ancient baobab trees. Colossal herds of African elephants dominate the golden savannah, while screeching flocks of striking yellow collared lovebirds can be heard from miles away. The wildlife roaming Tarangire's scenic landscape includes lions, giraffes, warthogs, ostriches, impalas, cheetahs, mongooses, buffaloes, and baboons.

Spend your first night at Fanaka Camp in Mto Wa Mbu, where comprehensive camping facilities are on offer.

Enjoy a tantalising dinner served in the evening.

Head to Serengeti National Park after finishing your appetising breakfast. If you are lucky, you may encounter the odd animal en route, as the journey passes via the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater. Tanzania's oldest and most frequented national park is also a World Heritage Site and has recently been branded one of the Seven Wonders of the World. The Serengeti is renowned for the annual migration of the herds and its ever-growing wildlife population.

Enjoy a picnic lunch on one of the kopjes (rock outcroppings).

Indulge in a game drive that ventures further into the park.

Proceed to Serengeti Camp after the game drive, where comprehensive camping facilities and an appetising meal will be provided.

Begin your day with an early morning game drive in central Serengeti. The savannah is an active landscape, and the air is flooded with the melodies created by birds as the renewed sunlight begins to illuminate the entire landscape. Your Tanzanian safari guide will study the prints on the ground in pursuit of predators.

Travel to Simba Campsite, located near the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater.

Receive dinner and satisfactory camping facilities.

Go for game viewing in Ngorongoro Crater. Few safari destinations produce the same experience as the Ngorongoro Crater because game viewing here is simply effortless. Most animals remain within the crater due to its high walls, making this the perfect location to view every member of the Big 5 in one day.

Sit down for a wonderful picnic lunch inside the crater. This unfilled caldera is also home to hyenas, hippos, zebras, wildebeest, and an impressive variety of water birds. Your Tanzanian safari guide will enlighten you by sharing facts about the animals and vegetation while locating hidden wildlife.

Stay at Fanaka Camp near Lake Manyara National Park, which provides competent camping facilities.

Relax over a picnic lunch in the beautiful park. Nestled at the base of the Great Rift Valley escarpment, Lake Manyara National Park offers picturesque and varied scenery. Its assorted habitats, including rainforest, the soda lake, and the savannah, support a highly diverse ecosystem. With over four hundred bird species, some of them migratory, the reserve is a birdwatcher's delight. Lake Manyara is also home to the legendary tree-climbing lions, as well as buffaloes, elephants, giraffes, impalas, and hippos.

Proceed to Arusha in the late afternoon. Arrangements for transportation to the airport can be made on request.
