5 Days Tanzania Safari – Serengeti, Ngorongoro & Tarangire

We use 4×4 safari Land Cruisers with pop-up roofs for the best wildlife viewing and photography.

You may see lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, buffalo, leopards, cheetahs, and many other species.

The dry season, which spans from June to October, is generally regarded as the optimal period for observing wildlife, as animals congregate near water sources and the vegetation is sparse.

The migration occurs throughout the entire year. The calving season in the southern Serengeti can be observed from January to March, while the remarkable crossings of the Mara River generally take place from June to August.

The prices differ based on the level of comfort. Generally, you should anticipate the following expenses:

Budget (Camping): $200 – $350 per person per day.

Mid-range (Lodge/Tented Camp): $350 – $600 per person per day.

Luxury: $600 or more per person per day.

Most travelers spend 5 to 10 days on safari to cover major parks like Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Tarangire without feeling rushed.

During the peak season (July–September), it is advisable to book 6 to 12 months ahead to ensure the availability of preferred lodgings.

Yes, Tanzania is considered one of the safest countries for tourists in Africa. However, you must always adhere to your guide’s instructions and stay inside the  Safari vehicle during game drives.

Pack clothing that is lightweight and in neutral colors such as khaki, beige, and olive.
Avoid bright hues as well as dark blue or black, since these colors tend to attract tsetse flies.

The majority of international travelers need a tourist visa, which can be acquired either as an e-Visa through online application or upon arrival at key airports such as Kilimanjaro (JRO) or Dar es Salaam (DAR).

Most lodges and permanent camps offer Wi-Fi, although the speed may be limited. Typically, connections are not accessible during game drives in remote areas.

Tipping is a common practice, yet it remains optional. A typical recommendation for safari guides is between $15 and $20 for each vehicle per day, while approximately $10 per day is suggested for lodge personnel.

Anticipate well-known cuisine with some local touches. The majority of lodges provide buffet-style meals, while some may feature fixed menus. Should you have any dietary restrictions, we are able to cater to them, but we kindly ask that you inform us ahead of time. If you are traveling during the day, your driver will carry a packed lunch for you.

The different National Parks – Tarangire, Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro – may look close on a map, but there is a considerable amount of driving between each location. Approximate driving times are listed below. While this gives you the opportunity to see more of the Tanzania countryside – look out for Maasai villages beside the road, children tending their herds of goats and cattle, and roadside markets – you will not see any game during these transit times.
