Three iconic parks in five unforgettable days — elephants, the Big Five, and the Great Migration.
This comprehensive 5-day safari takes you through three of Tanzania's most spectacular wildlife destinations. Starting with Tarangire National Park — famous for its enormous elephant herds and iconic baobab trees — you'll then drive into the legendary Serengeti for two full days of game viewing before concluding with a descent into the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater.
This is our best-value multi-day safari, offering the most diverse wildlife experience with three distinct ecosystems. Both standard and luxury accommodation options are available.
After breakfast, we collect you from your hotel and proceed to Tarangire National Park for a game drive. This park is especially known for the large number of elephants and giraffes. Animals from the surrounding area congregate along the Tarangire River which winds its way through the park. The park has a large number of baobab trees and is quite scenic. We pause for a picnic lunch inside the park, then continue with the game drive. In the evening we settle in at our lodge/tented camp for overnight.
After breakfast, we drive to Serengeti National Park. This drive takes us through Ngorongoro Conservation Area (not through the crater but through the highlands). Once we arrive at the Serengeti, we proceed on a game drive until evening. Relaxation, dinner and overnight will be at lodge/tented camp inside of the Serengeti.
This day is all yours. You will arrange with your guide how you want to spend your time. If you ever desired an early morning hot-air balloon safari followed by a picnic breakfast in the wild accompanied by sparkling wine, this morning is your chance (extra fee). If you prefer a full day game drive, or breaking the game drives up with afternoon relaxation at the accommodations, the choice is yours.
After breakfast, we set out to get our last look at the Serengeti and view the wildlife. We continue viewing game while we make our way out of the park and back into Ngorongoro Conservation Area (NCA). Along the way, there are optional side-trips: visiting a Maasai village or visiting Olduvai Gorge Museum — an important paleontological site. We will have dinner and overnight rest at a lodge/tented camp.
After breakfast, we will descend into Ngorongoro Crater. The high concentration of animals and the beauty of the surrounding crater walls makes this a wonderful safari destination. In the course of a few hours you may see all of the "Big 5". The size of the crater is such that in 4–5 hours all can be seen. We then ascend out of the crater and make our way to Kilimanjaro Airport (JRO) or back to Arusha/Moshi.
