Safari summary

Discover Tanzania’s Untamed Beauty – From the Legendary Serengeti to the Majestic Ngorongoro Crater.
This unforgettable 5-day safari takes you deep into the heart of Tanzania’s most iconic wilderness areas. From the vast open plains of the Serengeti, where wildlife roams freely in dramatic numbers, to the awe-inspiring Ngorongoro Crater, the largest unbroken volcanic caldera in the world, every moment is packed with adventure and discovery.

Start your journey in Arusha, the gateway to northern Tanzania’s safari circuit. After a restful night, head into the Serengeti, famous for its abundant wildlife and the spectacular Great Migration. Spend three nights in a comfortable tented camp, waking each morning to the sounds of nature and spending your days on thrilling game drives in search of the Big Five and more.

After exploring the Serengeti’s endless landscapes, continue to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Here, you’ll descend 600 meters into the ancient crater, home to a rich concentration of wildlife including lions, elephants, hippos, and the rare black rhino. The scenery is as impressive as the animal sightings, with sweeping views and lush, green terrain all year round.

This safari is designed for nature lovers and adventure seekers who want a rich, immersive experience without rushing. With expert guides, cozy mid-range lodges and camps, and year-round accessibility, it’s the perfect introduction to the wild wonders of Tanzania.
