Discover two of Tanzania's most spectacular wildlife destinations on a private 5-day safari through the legendary Serengeti National Park and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. This carefully designed safari gives you more time to experience the Serengeti, with multiple game drives across its vast plains and wildlife-rich landscapes. Search for lions, elephants, buffaloes, leopards, cheetahs, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, hippos and many other species as you explore with an experienced local safari guide. Depending on the season and location of the herds, you may also encounter parts of the Great Migration. Your guide will adapt the game-drive areas according to wildlife conditions and the time of year. The adventure continues to the Ngorongoro Crater, a spectacular natural wildlife sanctuary where a remarkable concentration of animals can be found within the crater floor. Here you have another opportunity to see iconic African wildlife, including the Big Five. With comfortable mid-range accommodation, private transportation and an experienced guide, this safari is ideal for wildlife enthusiasts, photographers, couples, families and travelers who want to spend more time in the Serengeti rather than rushing between many different parks.
