5 Days Standard Safari

Overview

Embark on an unforgettable journey to 'Noah's Ark,' often referred to as East Africa's Garden of Eden, nestled within the breathtaking 260 square kilometer expanse of the Ngorongoro Crater Floor. This unique ecosystem is a haven for wildlife, where various species coexist in harmony, untouched by the encroachments of modern life. As you explore the verdant plains and lush vegetation, soak in the stunning views of the crater's walls and the diverse array of animals that roam freely. Here, you’ll witness nature's splendor at its finest, experiencing life in a setting that remains blissfully unaffected by the temptations of greener pastures beyond its borders. Whether you are observing elephants grazing, lions lounging in the shade, or flocks of flamingos swirling in the crater’s lakes, the Ngorongoro Crater offers a truly immersive encounter with the wild.

Day to Day Activities

Day 01: Arrival in Kilimanjaro International Airport – Tarangire National Park

Upon your arrival at Kilimanjaro Airport, you will be greeted by our Professional Driver Guide, who will be holding a personalized signboard displaying your name for easy recognition. After ensuring that you have collected all your luggage and personal belongings, you will embark on a comfortable drive to Tarangire National Park and arrive at their hotel or camp in time for lunch. The park has many large animals, including buffalo, elephants, lions, elands, fringe-eared oryx, lesser and greater kudu, and gerenuks. In the afternoon, visitors go on a game drive. The next day, guests spend a full day in Tarangire and have a picnic lunch. During the dry season, the Tarangire River is home to the highest number of elephants in Tanzania and many lions. In the short rainy season, animals spread out across the Maasai Steppe, which is ten times larger than the park.


Day 02: Serengeti National Park

After breakfast, we depart for Serengeti National Park, arriving in time for lunch. Many people never forget their first encounter with the Serengeti, which is renowned for its millions of migrating wildebeest. Undoubtedly the greatest wildlife destination, the Serengeti hosts thousands of animals that are constantly on the move in search of fresh grazing. Visitors can enjoy an afternoon game drive to experience the park's incredible wildlife.


Day 03: Fully Day Serengeti National Park

On this day, we will spend the entire day in the Serengeti, enjoying a picnic lunch. We will embark on both a morning and an afternoon game drive, providing us with the best opportunities to experience the park, which is renowned for its predators, particularly lions. With over 500 bird species, the Serengeti is also an incredible destination for birdwatchers.


Day 04: Ngorongoro Crater

After an early breakfast, start your trip to the Ngorongoro Crater. Bring a tasty picnic lunch to enjoy in the beautiful surroundings. When you arrive, descend the impressive 2,000-foot walls of the Crater. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is famous for its rich wildlife and biodiversity. It is home to nearly 25,000 animals, making it a great place for a game drive.

As you explore the green grasslands and thick forests, watch for the Big Five: the majestic lion resting in the shade, the large elephant eating nearby, the rare black rhino hidden in the bushes, the powerful buffalo in herds, and the clever leopard watching from above. You will also see many other African mammals, such as zebras, wildebeests, and giraffes.

As the sun sets, signaling the end of the day, you will climb back up the Crater's walls and drive back to your accommodations.


Day 05: Departure

After enjoying an early breakfast, you will start your journey back to Arusha town for a hot lunch before catching your flight home.
