Your 5-Day Exclusive Tanzania Safari Itinerary

Day 1: Arusha to Tarangire National Park

Your guide collects you from your accommodation in Arusha in the morning. After a safari briefing, drive to Tarangire National Park for your first game drive.

Look for elephants, giraffes, zebras, antelopes and birds as you travel through woodland and open areas. The park’s baobabs make a striking backdrop for photographs. Stop for lunch during the day, then continue exploring before heading to your lodge or tented camp for dinner and an overnight stay.

Overnight: Tarangire area or Karatu

Day 2: Travel to the Serengeti

After breakfast, set off toward Serengeti National Park. This is a longer travel day, but the changing scenery is part of the journey. Depending on your route and timing, you may pass through the Ngorongoro highlands before continuing toward the Serengeti.

Once in the park, begin your game drive on the way to camp. Your guide will choose the route based on the time available and recent wildlife activity. Arrive in the evening for dinner and your first night near the Serengeti plains.

Overnight: Central Serengeti

Day 3: Full-Day Serengeti Game Drive

Today is dedicated to the Serengeti. An early start can give you more time in the field and a chance to experience the landscape in the softer morning light.

Your guide can explore different areas in search of wildlife, stopping when you want to observe an animal or take photographs. Enjoy lunch during the day and continue your game drive in the afternoon. If your travel dates make another Serengeti region a better fit for your interests, ask us about adjusting the route and number of nights.

Return to camp for dinner and a second night in the Serengeti.

Overnight: Central Serengeti

Day 4: Serengeti to the Ngorongoro Highlands

Enjoy a final morning game drive in the Serengeti before travelling toward the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. The drive gives you another opportunity to see wildlife and appreciate the scale of northern Tanzania’s landscapes.

Continue to your accommodation near the crater rim or in Karatu. Your guide will explain the plan for the following morning so you can prepare for an early start.

Overnight: Ngorongoro rim or Karatu

Day 5: Ngorongoro Crater and Return to Arusha

After an early breakfast, descend into Ngorongoro Crater for a game drive. Its grasslands, woodland and water sources create varied areas to explore within a single day. The crater is a major wildlife attraction within the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Craters & Wildlife

After lunch and your crater visit, drive back to Arusha. Arrival is generally in the late afternoon or early evening, depending on road conditions and the day’s schedule. If you have a flight that night, share its details before booking so we can check whether the timing is practical.
