Tips

5 Days Private Serengeti, Ndutu, and Ngorongoro Safari Package Price

The safari costs approximately USD 2,580 to USD 3,000 per person sharing for two or more travelers. This rate is not for solo travelers, who should request a separate private-safari quotation.

The final cost depends on several factors. These include the services selected, accommodation standard, number of travelers, and the inclusions requested. When several people travel together, shared vehicle and guide costs can reduce the amount paid per person.

Accommodation selection also affects the quotation. Budget tents generally provide a more economical option, while mid-range and luxury tented camps offer different comfort levels. Very low advertised prices may exclude services such as airport transfers or Arusha accommodation before and after the safari.

Destinations on Your 5 Days Private Serengeti, Ndutu, and Ngorongoro Safari

Central Serengeti – One Night

Central Serengeti provides your first major wildlife-viewing opportunity. The area's grasslands and surrounding habitats support diverse wildlife, giving you opportunities to search for lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, gazelles, and other animals.

Ndutu Area – Two Nights

Ndutu is the seasonal heart of this itinerary. Spending two nights allows you to dedicate more time to the southern plains during the calving period. Wildebeest, zebra, and gazelles may be seen alongside predators including lions, cheetahs, and hyenas.

Ngorongoro Crater

The Ngorongoro Crater provides the final major wildlife experience. Its varied habitats support numerous animals, including buffaloes, lions, elephants, hippos, zebras, wildebeest, and gazelles. The extended game drive allows you to spend several hours exploring the crater floor.
