Private Safari: 6 Days Tarangire, Serengeti, Ndutu, and Ngorongoro Safari

This safari is organized exclusively for your travelers, giving you a private vehicle and a more flexible schedule rather than joining an existing group. There is no group-joining safari for the Ndutu calving-season itinerary, including for solo travelers.

If you prefer a group safari, a different six-day route can be offered covering Tarangire, Serengeti for two nights, Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara. Ask for the available option that best matches your budget and travel dates.

Best Time for 6 Days Tarangire, Serengeti, Ndutu, and Ngorongoro Safari

The preferred period for this itinerary is late December to early March, particularly for travelers interested in the Ndutu calving season. This period also overlaps with a short rainy season, so some rain can occur.

The seasonal changes can bring fresh grass and attractive wildlife activity. Because conditions vary from year to year, travelers should remain flexible and follow the advice of their safari guide during game drives.

Vehicles for 6 Days Tarangire, Serengeti, Ndutu, and Ngorongoro Safari

Airport transfers commonly use a Toyota Alphard, which can carry approximately 1–6 people. For game drives, the safari uses a 4x4 Land Cruiser with an open roof and window seats, providing six passenger seats.

Transport from Arusha to the safari parks is included in the safari arrangement. Airport transfers can also be arranged based on your preferred arrival and departure plans.
