Experience the adventure of a lifetime with our 5-Day Fly-In Safari from Zanzibar, designed to give you an unforgettable journey through Tanzania’s most iconic wildlife destinations: Tarangire National Park, the vast plains of the Serengeti, and the stunning Ngorongoro Crater.
This all-inclusive safari combines thrilling game drives, breathtaking landscapes, and luxurious accommodations, all in just five days.

Day 1: Arrival in Tarangire National Park
Begin your journey with a scenic flight from Zanzibar to Tarangire National Park, known for its large elephant herds and baobab trees. Upon arrival, you’ll be transferred to your lodge or camp for a relaxing lunch before heading out for your first game drive. Tarangire is home to an incredible diversity of wildlife, including elephants, giraffes, zebras, and various bird species. The park’s unique landscape, dotted with massive baobab trees, offers fantastic photo opportunities.
OVERNIGHT: Enjoy a stay at a lodge, where you can relax and unwind after your first day of safari adventure.

Day 2: Tarangire to Serengeti National Park
Start your day with an early morning game drive in Tarangire, where you can continue to explore the park’s rich wildlife and varied ecosystems. After your morning safari, you’ll take a short flight to the Serengeti National Park, one of the most famous wildlife reserves in the world. Known for its expansive savannahs and incredible biodiversity, the Serengeti offers some of the best game-viewing opportunities in Africa, especially during the Great Migration.
In the afternoon, enjoy a game drive in Serengeti, where you can witness the vastness of the plains, observe predators in action, and spot the Big Five—lions, leopards, elephants, buffalo, and rhinos.
OVERNIGHT: Stay at your lodge at Serengeti Safari Lodge, with the sounds of nature and the promise of another exciting day ahead.

Day 3: Full Day Safari in Serengeti
Today, you’ll embark on a full day of game drives in Serengeti National Park. With your expert guide, explore different areas of the park to witness the unique wildlife that calls the Serengeti home. Depending on the season, you may be fortunate enough to witness the spectacular Great Migration, where millions of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles travel across the plains in search of fresh grazing grounds.
In addition to the migration, the Serengeti is known for its large predator population. Lions, cheetahs, and leopards are often spotted hunting across the plains. This full-day adventure offers numerous opportunities for photography and wildlife observation.
OVERNIGHT: Spend another night in the Serengeti at your lodge, enjoying the tranquility of the African wilderness.

Day 4: Serengeti to Ngorongoro Crater
After a morning game drive in the Serengeti, you’ll fly to Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most spectacular places on Earth. Known as the “Garden of Eden,” Ngorongoro Crater is the world’s largest inactive volcanic caldera, home to a rich variety of wildlife, including elephants, lions, rhinos, and numerous bird species.
Upon arrival, descend into the crater for a safari in its lush, green interior, where you can observe wildlife in a truly unique environment. The crater’s natural beauty and diverse wildlife make it a highlight of any safari.
OVERNIGHT: Stay at a lodge on the crater rim, offering panoramic views of the caldera and the opportunity to relax in luxury after a day of exploration.

Day 5: Final Safari in Ngorongoro and Return to Zanzibar
On your final day, enjoy a morning game drive in the Ngorongoro Crater. The crater’s ecosystem is home to a variety of species that are not found in other parts of Tanzania, making it a fantastic spot for wildlife viewing. After the safari, return to the rim for lunch and take in the breathtaking views before your return flight to Zanzibar.
Your safari ends with a scenic flight back to Zanzibar, where you’ll be dropped off at the airport or your hotel, concluding your amazing 5-day adventure.
