Tips

Package Price for 5 Days Tarangire, Ndutu Calving, and Ngorongoro Safari

The package costs approximately USD 2,400–2,800 per person sharing for two or more people. This is not the solo-traveler rate, and international flights from or to your home country are not included.

A 5-day Tanzania Northern Circuit safari covers Tarangire National Park, the Ndutu calving grounds, and Ngorongoro Crater, with the price commonly ranging between $2,400 and $2,800 per person sharing under the stated package arrangement.

The final quotation may depend on the accommodation level, services selected, group size, transportation arrangements, and inclusions. When more travelers share the safari, some costs can be distributed across the group, potentially lowering the per-person amount.

When comparing prices, always check the inclusions carefully. A particularly low quotation may leave out services such as airport transfers or accommodation in Arusha.

Destinations on 5 Days Tarangire, Ndutu Calving, and Ngorongoro Safari

Tarangire National Park

Your safari starts in Tarangire National Park, a destination recognized for its large elephant populations and striking baobab trees. Game drives provide opportunities to search for elephants, lions, giraffes, buffaloes, zebras, wildebeest, antelopes, and numerous bird species.

The combination of open areas, woodland, seasonal water sources, and distinctive vegetation gives Tarangire a character of its own. Begin your Northern Circuit adventure here before moving toward the calving grounds.

Ndutu Area During Calving Season

The itinerary then focuses on Ndutu, with three days and two nights allocated to this important part of the journey. The area becomes particularly interesting during the wildebeest calving period when newborn animals appear across the plains.

This safari takes you to Ndutu during the calving season, giving you several game-drive opportunities to observe wildebeest, zebras, gazelles, and predators such as lions, cheetahs, hyenas, and jackals.

Ngorongoro Crater
The final major destination is Ngorongoro Crater, where you descend into the crater for an extended game drive.
