6-Day Midrange Tanzania Safari

Your safari begins with a scenic drive from Arusha to Tarangire National Park, famed for its
ancient baobabs and huge herds of elephants. Spend the afternoon on a game drive through
the rolling landscapes, searching for lions, zebras, giraffes, and an impressive variety of
birdlife. By evening, you’ll check in at a charming midrange lodge or tented camp near the
park for a relaxing dinner and overnight stay.

After breakfast, depart for the legendary Serengeti, driving through the lush highlands of
Ngorongoro. Enter the Serengeti in the afternoon and begin your game viewing
immediately. The vast plains unfold before you, home to predators, antelope, and migrating
herds. Settle into a comfortable tented camp or lodge in the central Serengeti, where you’ll
dine under the stars.

Spend the entire day exploring the Serengeti’s endless plains. You’ll rise early to catch the
morning action, when predators are most active. Track big cats like lions and cheetahs, and
watch elephants and buffalo roam the landscape. Depending on the season, you might
witness parts of the Great Migration. After a picnic lunch, continue your game drive before
returning to camp for a peaceful evening.

Enjoy a final morning game drive in the Serengeti as you head east toward Ngorongoro.
Along the way, you can opt to stop at Olduvai Gorge, a significant paleoanthropological site.
Arrive at a midrange lodge on the crater rim or nearby in time for dinner. Breathe in the
cool highland air as you prepare for tomorrow’s crater adventure.

After an early breakfast, descend 600 meters into the Ngorongoro Crater for a half-day
safari. The crater floor is teeming with animals, including the Big Five, hyenas, flamingos,
and hippos. After a picnic lunch beside a hippo pool, ascend the crater walls and continue to
the Lake Manyara area for a night at a cozy midrange lodge or tented camp nestled in the
Rift Valley.

Conclude your safari with a morning game drive in Lake Manyara National Park. Explore its
groundwater forests, open plains, and acacia woodlands while spotting baboons, giraffes,
and possibly the park’s famous tree-climbing lions. After lunch, return to Arusha, where
your unforgettable journey comes to an end.
