This 6-Days Tanzania Luxury Big Five Safari will take you through the highlights of renowned parks of Northern Tanzania starting with the home of Elephants, Tarangire National park and then you’ll visit the Serengeti-the Big 5 game haven and also the host of over 3 million large mammals. Your journey will continue to Ngorongoro Crater which supports a year-round resident population of mammals and finally, you’ll head to Lake Manyara National Park, an ornithologists’ paradise known for its elusive tree-climbing lions. You’ll stay in premium lodges & tented camps.
Upon your arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport, you will be greeted by our safari guide. Depending on your flight schedule, you’ll be transferred to Arusha town, which is about a 1-hour drive away. Once you arrive at the lodge, take some time to relax and prepare for your upcoming 6-day Serengeti Big Cats safari.
After breakfast, depart for a full day of game driving in Tarangire National Park, with a picnic lunch included. In the evening, you’ll drive to your lodge or camp for dinner and an overnight stay.
Located slightly off the main safari route, Tarangire National Park offers a serene and authentic safari experience in Northern Tanzania. It is renowned for its elephant migrations, diverse birdlife, and tranquil atmosphere. Many travelers overlook Tarangire or spend only a few hours in the park, leaving much of its stunning wilderness virtually untouched.
After breakfast at the camp or lodge, you’ll set off for central Serengeti/Seronera, passing through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. You have the option to stop at a Maasai village for a cultural interaction before continuing your journey. In the late afternoon, enjoy a game drive in central Serengeti until evening, after which you’ll return to the lodge for dinner and your overnight stay.
Wake up and enjoy breakfast before departing for a full day of game drives in the central-eastern Serengeti. This iconic park is home to a diverse array of wildlife, including impala, buffalo, crocodiles, and hippos, and is especially famous for its migrating herds of zebras, antelopes, and wildebeests. In addition to the migrations, you may also spot resident predators like leopards, cheetahs, and lions, each playing a crucial role in the circle of life. After an unforgettable day of wildlife viewing, you’ll return to your accommodation to relax, enjoy dinner, and spend the night.
After breakfast at your lodge or camp, depart for a full-day game drive in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, enjoying a picnic lunch during your adventure. In the evening, you’ll return to the rim of the crater for dinner and an overnight stay at your lodge or camp.
The highlight of Ngorongoro is its magnificent volcanic crater, the largest unbroken and unflooded caldera in the world. Spanning approximately 20 kilometers across, 600 meters deep, and covering an area of 300 square kilometers, the Ngorongoro Crater is a stunning natural wonder. You will also visit Lake Magadi, a large shallow alkaline lake located in the southwestern corner of the crater, known for its vibrant population of flamingos, hippos, and various other water birds.
After breakfast, you’ll head to Lake Manyara National Park for an exciting game drive. In the afternoon, you’ll return to Arusha, where you can be dropped off at your lodge or Kilimanjaro International Airport for your onward journey.
Lake Manyara is an ideal introduction to Tanzania’s rich birdlife, with over 400 species recorded. Even first-time visitors to Africa can expect to spot around 100 species in a single day. The park’s acacia woodlands, located inland from the floodplain, are home to the famous tree-climbing lions and impressive tusked elephants.
