The 5 Day Classic Midrange Tanzania Safari is the perfect way to experience Tanzania’s most iconic parks and cultural treasures in a few days. This journey takes you across breathtaking landscapes, from the elephant-filled plains of Tarangire to the world-renowned Serengeti and the wildlife-rich Ngorongoro Crater.
Your adventure begins in Tarangire National Park where you will explore its scenic valleys, riverbanks and predators on the hunt. The park’s quiet atmosphere and diverse wildlife make it a wonderful introduction to the Tanzanian wilderness.
Next, travel to the Serengeti, a place that captures the true spirit of Africa. Here, vast golden plains stretch endlessly, offering thrilling opportunities to spot lions, cheetahs, leopards and herds of wildebeest.
Your journey continues to the Ngorongoro Crater, one of Africa’s most extraordinary natural wonders. This volcanic caldera is home to the Big Five and an astonishing variety of other animals. Descending into the crater is a breathtaking experience you’ll never forget.
To complete your safari, visit Lake Eyasi, where you’ll meet the Hadzabe and Datoga people and catch a glimpse into their traditional ways of life.
The best time to visit is during the dry season (June to October) for superb wildlife viewing or from January to March, when the Serengeti’s calving season brings dramatic predator-prey action.
