After breakfast, depart Arusha and drive to Tarangire National Park, known for its large elephant herds and iconic baobab trees. Arrive in time for lunch at your accommodation, then head out on an afternoon game drive along the Tarangire River, home to elephants, lions, leopards, and a wide variety of plains game. The park is also a birdwatcher's paradise, with over 500 species recorded. Return to camp for dinner and an overnight stay in Tarangire.
After an early breakfast, enjoy a final game drive in Tarangire before departing for the Serengeti National Park, Tanzania's most famous wildlife reserve. Stop for lunch en route as you make your way across the Ngorongoro Highlands and down onto the endless plains of the Serengeti. Arrive at your camp in the afternoon, with time for an evening game drive in search of lions, elephants, giraffe, and the seasonal wildebeest migration. Enjoy dinner and an overnight stay under the Serengeti sky.
Spend a full day exploring the Serengeti, famous for its vast grasslands and dramatic wildebeest migration. Head out early for a morning game drive when big cats are most active, followed by a return to camp for lunch and rest. In the afternoon, continue exploring different areas of the park, from open plains to rocky kopjes, in search of lions, cheetahs, leopards, and large herds of zebra and wildebeest. Enjoy dinner and a second overnight stay in the heart of the Serengeti.
After breakfast, depart the Serengeti and drive towards the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, stopping to admire views over the Serengeti plains along the way. Arrive at the crater rim in the afternoon, where sweeping views into the crater below await, said to be one of the most spectacular natural wonders in Africa. Relax at your accommodation, with time to settle in before dinner and an overnight stay on the crater rim.
Descend into the Ngorongoro Crater for a morning of game viewing in this UNESCO World Heritage Site, home to one of the highest densities of wildlife in Africa. Explore the crater floor, keeping watch for lions, elephants, buffalo, and the elusive black rhino, alongside large herds of zebra, wildebeest, and flamingo-lined lakes. After the game drive, ascend back to the crater rim and begin the drive to Arusha, arriving in the afternoon to bring your 5-day safari to a memorable close.
