5-Day Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti, & Ngorongoro

After breakfast in the morning, you'll board a 4x4 Land Cruiser safari vehicle and set off for a safari to Tarangire National Park. This park boasts the highest population density of elephants in Tanzania, with herds of up to 300 elephants digging into the dry riverbed for underground streams. You'll also encounter migratory wildebeests, zebras, buffalos, impalas, gazelles, hartebeests, and elands. Tarangire offers the greatest concentration of wildlife outside the Serengeti ecosystem, making it a prime hunting ground for predators. It's one of the few places in Tanzania where you can regularly spot dry-country antelope, such as the stately fringe-eared oryx and the unique long-necked gerenuk. After a full day of game drives, you will be transferred to your booked lodge in the evening for dinner, a warm shower, and your overnight stay.

Although one of Tanzania’s smaller wildlife reserves, Lake Manyara boasts an incredible diversity of landscapes and wildlife. Bird lovers will especially enjoy the sight of hundreds of pink flamingos and yellow-billed storks flying around the lake. The park is also famous for its unique tree-climbing lions, large groups of baboons, blue monkeys, buffaloes, wildebeests, zebras, and giraffes.

It is home to a vast array of animals, including lions, cheetahs, leopards, giraffes, elephants, buffalo, millions of wildebeests, thousands of zebras, and gazelles, as well as a rich diversity of bird species. The Serengeti is known globally for the Great Migration, where over a million wildebeests and thousands of zebras move across the plains. After a full day of game viewing, you'll be transferred to the lodge for dinner and your overnight stay.

You have the option to take an early morning balloon safari, offering a unique perspective as you soar above the plains, witnessing thousands of wildlife in a short time. If you choose the balloon safari, it will be an exceptional experience. However, if you prefer a traditional game drive in a safari vehicle, you will still have a full day to explore the Serengeti's wonders.

Often called the "eighth wonder of the world," the Ngorongoro Crater is one of Africa's most famous wildlife habitats. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it features a unique ecosystem that has remained largely unchanged for millennia.

Inside the crater, which is enclosed by towering walls, around 25,000 large mammals roam its plains, lakes, and forests. During your game drive, you'll likely spot black rhinos, leopards, black-maned lions, and a multitude of flamingos.
