6-Day Budget Tanzania Safari

Your safari begins with a morning transfer from Arusha to Tarangire National Park, renowned for its large
elephant populations and striking baobab trees. Spend the afternoon on game drives through the park’s
diverse landscape, spotting lions, giraffes, zebras, and many bird species. In the evening, you will rest at a
budget-friendly campsite or lodge near Tarangire, enjoying dinner in the peaceful surroundings of the
wilderness.

After breakfast, depart Tarangire and journey to the iconic Serengeti National Park. Along the way, admire
the scenic views and possibly glimpse Maasai villages. Arriving in the Serengeti by midday, embark on an
afternoon game drive to catch your first sights of the park’s abundant wildlife, including herds of
wildebeest, zebras, and predators like lions and cheetahs. Overnight accommodation is at a budget
campsite or simple lodge within or near the park.

Spend the whole day immersed in the Serengeti’s vast plains and rich wildlife. Your experienced guide
will help you track animals as they move across the landscape, from hunting carnivores to grazing
herbivores. Capture incredible photos and enjoy a picnic lunch surrounded by the wilderness. In the
evening, return to your budget campsite or lodge for dinner and rest.

Leave the Serengeti after breakfast and drive to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Descend into the
Ngorongoro Crater for an unforgettable game drive, exploring this unique volcanic caldera filled with a
dense population of wildlife including the Big Five. After the afternoon safari, spend the night at a budget
campsite or lodge on the crater rim or nearby.

Depart early for Lake Manyara National Park, a compact yet diverse park famous for its flamingos,
hippos, and tree-climbing lions. Enjoy a morning game drive through the varied habitats, spotting
baboons, buffalo, and a spectacular variety of birds. In the late afternoon, check into your budget
accommodation near the park and relax after the day’s adventures.

On your final day, enjoy a leisurely breakfast before departing Lake Manyara. Return to Arusha by mid-
afternoon or evening, bringing to a close your memorable budget safari through Tanzania’s premier wildlife destinations.
