Tour Overview

What Makes This Safari Stand Out

This is a 5-day budget/adventure camping safari designed for travelers who arrive in Arusha on Day 1 and want to experience three of Tanzania’s most famous safari destinations. The route gives you elephants and baobabs in Tarangire, extensive wildlife and big cats in Serengeti, and the incredible concentration of wildlife in Ngorongoro Crater. Tanzania Tourism identifies these three destinations as key highlights of the Northern Safari Circuit.

Day 3 Tarangire → Serengeti National Park – Game Drive En Route Main Destination: Serengeti National Park

Wake up early, enjoy breakfast and begin your journey towards the legendary Serengeti National Park.

The drive takes you through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, with spectacular highland scenery before descending towards the Serengeti plains.

You will enter Serengeti and begin your game drive en route to the central Serengeti/Seronera area.

This is an exciting wildlife day. Keep your eyes open for wildebeest, zebras, gazelles, giraffes, elephants, buffaloes and predators such as lions, cheetahs, hyenas and possibly leopards.

Enjoy a picnic lunch in the wilderness before continuing your afternoon game drive.

Later, arrive at your campsite in Central Serengeti, where you will enjoy dinner under the African sky.

Day 4 Full-Day Serengeti National Park Safari Main Destination: Serengeti National Park

This is your full day in the Serengeti.

Wake early for a sunrise game drive when temperatures are cooler and many animals are active. Depending on wildlife movements, your guide will choose the best areas to explore.

Spend the day searching for the Serengeti’s famous predators and large herds. You may encounter lion prides, cheetahs, hyenas and, with luck, leopards resting in trees or around the kopjes.

The Serengeti is also one of the world’s most famous landscapes for the Great Wildebeest Migration, although the exact location of the herds changes throughout the year according to rainfall and food availability.

Enjoy a picnic lunch in the park and continue with afternoon game viewing.

Return to camp in the evening for dinner, relaxation and another night surrounded by the sounds of the African wilderness.

Depending on the route and timing, you can enjoy a short morning game drive while leaving Serengeti.

Continue towards Ngorongoro and descend approximately 600 metres into the crater for an unforgettable game drive. The crater’s enclosed ecosystem provides excellent opportunities to see buffaloes, zebras, wildebeest, hippos, elephants, lions, hyenas and, with luck, the endangered black rhino.

Enjoy a picnic lunch inside the crater while surrounded by the dramatic volcanic landscape.

After the game drive, ascend from the crater and begin your journey back to Arusha.
