5-Day Budget Tanzania Safari

Begin your journey with a drive from Arusha to Tarangire National Park, famous for its large elephant
herds and ancient baobab trees. Spend the afternoon on a game drive, spotting lions, giraffes, zebras, and
colorful birds. In the evening, relax at a budget campsite or lodge near the park, enjoying a traditional
dinner under the stars.

After breakfast, depart Tarangire and travel toward the vast Serengeti plains. Along the way, enjoy scenic
views and the chance to see Maasai communities. Arrive at Serengeti National Park by midday and set out
for an afternoon game drive, where you may witness lions stalking prey or herds of wildebeest migrating
across the savannah. Overnight will be at a budget-friendly campsite or lodge near the park.

Spend the entire day exploring the Serengeti’s abundant wildlife and breathtaking landscapes. Your
knowledgeable guide will help you spot predators like cheetahs and leopards, as well as large herds of
zebras, elephants, and gazelles. Capture unforgettable moments and enjoy a picnic lunch amidst the wild
before returning to camp in the evening.

Depart the Serengeti after breakfast and head to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Descend into the
Ngorongoro Crater for a half-day game drive in this unique ecosystem, home to the Big Five and many
other species. The crater’s dramatic scenery provides stunning photo opportunities. After your game drive,
spend the night at a budget campsite on the crater rim or nearby.

On the final day, drive from Ngorongoro to Lake Manyara National Park, known for its diverse birdlife
and tree-climbing lions. Enjoy a morning game drive spotting hippos, baboons, and flamingos along the
lake’s edge. After lunch, depart Lake Manyara and return to Arusha, arriving in the late afternoon or early
evening to conclude your safari.
