5-Day Tanzania Camping Safari through Serengeti and Ngorongoro

You will be picked up at Kilimanjaro International Airport and transferred to your arranged hotel in Moshi or Arusha town. You will meet your guide, who will brief you on your Africa safari tour. You will spend the rest of your time at your own leisure and relaxation.

Depart early in the morning from Arusha and drive to Lake Manyara National Park for game viewing and photography. Lake Manyara is home to large numbers of flamingos, pelicans, storks, and many other bird species, and is therefore regarded as the birding paradise of Tanzania.

Other animals easily spotted include hippos, which can be observed at close range during your boat ride. Giraffes, gazelles, warthogs, and others can be seen browsing inside the park. If you are lucky, you might also see the rare tree-climbing lion that resides within this park.

After an early breakfast, depart for the Great Serengeti, arriving in time for lunch. After lunch, continue with game viewing.

Serengeti is home to Africa's Big Five - elephant, rhino, lion, leopard, and buffalo - and also to millions of other animals, including browsers, predators, reptiles, and birds. The annual wildebeest migration commences in June, when over 1 million wildebeest, zebra, and gazelle head into the Masai Mara plains in search of better pasture.

These animals are followed closely by the predators of the savannah, including lion, cheetah, wild dog, jackal, hyena, vultures, and others. In the evening, transfer back to your accommodation for rest and dinner.

After an early breakfast, enjoy morning game drives within Serengeti to see the park one last time. Afterwards, return to camp for a hot lunch, then check out and drive to Ngorongoro Crater, arriving in the evening for check-in and dinner at camp.

Ngorongoro is rich and fertile, with stunning views of the crater and lakes.

After breakfast, check out from camp and take your packed picnic lunch to enjoy during your 6-hour game viewing experience on the crater floor. Descend into the crater to see the breathtaking huge caldera, which is home to Tanzania's only remaining black rhino population.

Other animals that are easy to spot include hippos, elephants, gazelles, antelope, flamingos, and other water birds. In the afternoon, ascend back to the crater rim for your transfer to Arusha to connect with your onward flight to your next destination.
