5 Days Tanzania Lodge Safaris
Embark on a 5-day safari through Tanzania, perfectly tailored to explore three of the nation's top national parks at a comfortable pace. This journey is designed to maximize your chances of spotting the majestic Big Five in their natural habitats.
Exploring Tarangire National Park
Begin your adventure in Tarangire National Park, famed for its majestic Baobab trees and rich herbivore population. Here, iconic wildlife such as zebras, wildebeests, giraffes, and elephants roam freely. During the dry season, these animals often gather around the Tarangire River, making it an excellent time for elephant sightings.
Discovering the Serengeti
Next, journey to the vast Serengeti National Park, renowned for the spectacular wildebeest migration. We dedicate two days to explore this expansive park, allowing you to witness not only the migration but also the park's abundant predators in action.
Visiting Ngorongoro Crater
The safari continues to the Ngorongoro Crater, known for its stunning beauty and diverse wildlife. The crater is home to the famous Crater Lions, among other species. Following a game drive in this unique ecosystem, the tour concludes with a return to either Moshi or Arusha, based on your preference.
All safaris are private, ensuring a personalized and enriching experience throughout your stay in Tanzania.
