A 5 Day Safari across Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro is the ultimate northern Tanzania adventure. This journey takes you through three of the country’s most celebrated parks, each with its own rhythm, character and story to tell.
Your safari begins in Tarangire National Park. It is a place where elephants roam in large herds and where every game drive feels alive with movement. The park’s warm golden tones and calm pace make it the perfect introduction to Tanzania’s wild side.
From there, the journey continues to the Serengeti, the heart of African safaris. Endless grasslands and wide horizons set the scene for incredible wildlife encounters. Lions, cheetahs and hyenas rule these plains, while herds of wildebeest and zebras move in rhythm with the seasons. Whether you visit during the Great Migration or outside of it, the Serengeti offers moments that stay with you.
Your final stop is the Ngorongoro Crater, a natural wonder and UNESCO World Heritage Site. Descending into the crater feels like entering a living Eden, where animals thrive in one of the most concentrated wildlife habitats on Earth.
What makes this safari truly special is its variety. With expert guides by your side, every day brings new perspectives and stories from the bush.
You can also customize your trip, add extra nights or include nearby parks to make it your own. If you need help planning or tailoring your journey, our team is happy to assist.
