Explore the wild heart of Tanzania on this unforgettable 5-day Serengeti and Ngorongoro safari experience. Perfect for wildlife lovers and photography enthusiasts, this adventure offers thrilling game drives across two of Africa’s most iconic national parks — Serengeti National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater.
Witness the Big Five, marvel at the Great Migration (seasonal), and immerse yourself in some of the most diverse and stunning landscapes East Africa has to offer.
This 5-day Tanzania safari package begins from Arusha and takes you deep into the Serengeti’s endless plains before descending into the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site teeming with wildlife.
You’ll experience early morning and sunset game drives, enjoy stays in carefully selected lodges or tented camps, and travel with a knowledgeable English-speaking safari guide in a 4×4 vehicle with a pop-up roof for optimal game viewing.
Taking in the very best of Tanzania’s Northern Circuit, our five-day safari visits two of our country’s most iconic destinations, namely Serengeti National Park and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, with its jaw-dropping volcanic crater… Every safari is different – that is the real beauty of it – but you will certainly witness some of the best of the planet’s wildlife in its stunning natural environments.
Our seven-hour journey takes us westwards from Arusha, heading for Serengeti. Along the route, your eyes will be opened to all the colors and character of Tanzania: perhaps some Masai herdsmen driving their flocks of goats to new pastures. You’ll get to know your driver-guide, amazed at his depth of knowledge as he effortlessly answers all your questions. After our long journey, we will enjoy our lunch, before embarking on our afternoon game drive.
Dinner and overnight Suenos de Africa luxury camp
Today, we set off from our accommodation in the Central Serengeti. Wildlife is abundant: sometimes you may think it has come to find you, rather than the other way around. Today’s highlight is unknown, as the animals don’t publish their schedule (!) What we see also depends on the season, but this area is where bushland meets grassland, a favorite spot for big cats looking for prey. Cheetah, leopard and lions are all possibilities today.

Both have their perks with Big Five national parks, the incredible Great Migration and that quintessential African experience we all dream of. Check out our article on Serengeti vs Masai Mara to help you decide.
They both have such different safari experiences! Tanzania offers Big Five game reserves on classic dusty desert plains, rather South Africa partners the Big Five animals with luscious winelands. Both are just as good, but it depends on your safari style.
That’s a tough one! Botswana is home to herds of elephants at Chobe and the sparkling Okavango Delta, and Tanzania has the iconic Mount Kilimanjaro and Great Migration. Check out our article on Botswana vs Tanzania safaris to help you decide.
Tanzania is in general a safe, hassle-free country. However, like most places, you do need to take precautions and listen to your tour guide. It also pays to read our articles on ‘Things to know before going to Tanzania’.
A camera and binoculars are a must. You’ll regret it if you don’t take them! As for clothing, definitely pack lightweight, breathable clothing. Remember, Tanzania is an arid country so the days can get quite hot. Read more on what to pack for a safari in Tanzania in our travel magazine
