5-Day Tanzania Luxury Safari

Pick up from your hotel in Arusha at 8:30 AM and drive to Lake Manyara National Park, enjoy full day game drive with picnic lunch.

Lake Manyara is a shallow, alkaline lake at the base of the Western Rift Valley escarpment. The park entrance leads to a beautiful groundwater forest. This park is known for its large elephant population. The lions are present, but not seen that easily. The forest patch is home to habituated troops of olive baboon and blue monkey. Buffalo, giraffe and several antelope species are easily encountered on a drive.

The game drive ends at 4:00 PM, after which you will drive to your lodge for dinner, relaxation, and an overnight stay.

After breakfast we head towards the Serengeti National Park, via the beautiful high lying farmland of Karatu and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Leaving the highlands behind, we descend into the heart of wild Africa – the Serengeti National Park – with its endless plains, rolling into the distance as far as the eye can see. We head to the central park area, one of the richest wildlife habitats in the park, featuring the Seronera River, which provides a valuable water source to this area and therefore attracts wildlife well representative of most of the Serengeti’s species. We'll stop for lunch and enjoy an afternoon game drive in the Serengeti National Park.

Later, you’ll head to your accommodation for dinner and an overnight stay.

Starting your full day game drive by 8 AM after a filling breakfast, you will explore the central portion of the Serengeti National Park today.

The legendary Serengeti National Park is the most renowned safari destination for its incredible population of lions and leopards. The central portion of the Serengeti – known as Seronera area is one of the richest wildlife habitats in the park. It features the Seronera River, which provides a valuable water source to this area and therefore attracts wildlife well representative of most of the Serengeti’s species.

During the off season of the migration, one must really look out for the many lion prides that thrive in this region. The interactions and survival of these lion prides provide an excellent game viewing experience all year round. Along with a picnic lunch during the full day game drive, the game end by around 5PM.

The long day comes to an end with a heavy dinner and a good night’s rest in your accommodation.

After an early breakfast, we’ll set out around 6:30 AM for a full 6–7 hours of wildlife exploration in the heart of the legendary Serengeti. This iconic park teems with diverse animals—impalas, buffalo, crocodiles, and hippos roam its landscapes—but it is most celebrated for the Great Migration: sweeping herds of 250,000 zebras, 1.5 million wildebeest, and 500,000 antelopes following the rains in a timeless rhythm. Alongside these vast moving herds, you may encounter formidable predators, including lions, leopards, and cheetahs, as they stalk the plains.

At the close of your game drive, you’ll return to your lodge nestled within the Serengeti, where you can relax, enjoy a delicious dinner, and spend the night accompanied by the tranquil sounds of the wilderness.

Wake up to a stunning morning and enjoy a delicious breakfast before departing at 6:30 AM for the Ngorongoro Crater. You will spend the day exploring this extraordinary natural wonder, discovering the rich diversity of wildlife that inhabits the crater floor.

The centerpiece of Ngorongoro is its vast volcanic crater—the largest intact, unflooded caldera in the world. Measuring approximately 20 kilometers in diameter, 600 meters deep, and covering about 300 square kilometers, it is a truly breathtaking natural phenomenon. During the exploration, you will visit Lake Magadi, a shallow alkaline lake located in the southwestern part of the crater, renowned for sightings of black rhinos, flamingos, hippos, and a wide variety of other water birds.

This is the last leg of your safari, with a 3hr drive left to Arusha. You will be dropped off to your preferred location in Arusha. With an incredible experience and loads of memories to cherish.
