5-Day Tanzania Group Safari through Serengeti and Ngorongoro

After breakfast, your safari guide will drive you to Tarangire National Park. Tarangire is best known for its elephant families, savannah, iconic baobab trees, seasonal swamps, and the life-giving Tarangire River. Animals gather at the river to drink and cool off from the hot African sun.

You will see giraffes, bushbuck, and hartebeest. The park is also home to buffalo, zebra, and wildebeest. Various predators, such as lions and leopards, closely follow these animals. From the vehicle's open roof, you can take in the landscape and watch the variety of wildlife.

You will enjoy a picnic lunch in the park, which includes coffee and soft drinks. After a full day in the park, you will be driven to Kizumba campsite, where you will check in, enjoy dinner, and stay overnight.

After breakfast, depart for Serengeti National Park. The drive passes through the attractive high-lying farmland of Karatu and continues to the Ngorongoro gate. After check-in, you will drive farther up along the crater rim, with a chance to stop for nice pictures at the crater viewpoint.

Continue around the crater rim and descend toward the wildlife-rich Serengeti National Park, with its endless rolling plains. On the way, you will visit one of the Masai villages, where a Masai warrior will invite you in and share a brief story about life in this area. There will be a question-and-answer session before you enter their small houses to meet children and family members. Later, they will sing and dance to their famous song, which involves jumping high.

From there, drive farther with an en-route game drive to Naabi Hills Gate for check-in before heading to the Central Serengeti area called Seronera. Seronera is the richest wildlife habitat in the Serengeti, endowed with the Seronera River, the main water source in the area, which attracts an abundance of wildlife representative of most of the Serengeti's species.

Picnic lunch will be served at the kopjes (rocky outcroppings). In the afternoon, enjoy game drives in search of the wildebeest migration, followed by a late drive to your camp during or before sunset for dinner and an overnight stay.

You will rise very early and enjoy a sunrise game drive to spot animals when they are more active and also to witness a fantastic African sunrise, one of the most spectacular sights one can experience. You will then return to camp for breakfast, check out, and travel to the Ngorongoro Crater.

This vast crater is inhabited by the greatest concentration of wildlife on the planet: almost every species of wildlife indigenous to East Africa, including the rare black rhino. The crater contains a river, several swamps, a soda lake that, from the top, looks like steam, a forest, and open plains.

The large bull elephant that resides here has extremely large tusks due to the rich mineral content of the volcanic soil and its grasses. You will enjoy lunch during this extraordinary game drive.
