6 Days Serengeti, Ngorongoro & Tarangire Safari

Itinerary in Detail

Day 1: Arusha to Serengeti – Into the Wild

Start your day with an early morning drive as you watch the Villages blur by, Maasai herders walk alongside the dust trail, and soon, the land stretches wide.

By midday, after about 7 hours of driving, you finally land into Serengeti. Just before the adventure begins, have lunch and start the encounter. Herds of wildebeest move like shadows across the grass.

A giraffe lifts its head above the thorns. You stop beneath an acacia for lunch, the air dry and full of sound.

Furthermore, watch the Zebras run. Elephants cross. Lions flick tails in the grass. You reach camp at sunset—sky on fire, and the night alive with distant calls.

Day 2: Full-Day Serengeti Safari – Trails and Tails

You rise before the sun because it’s the day for yet another Serengeti encounter. The plains are quiet but alert—fresh tracks on the road, eyes watching from the grass. A cheetah stretches. A hyena trots past with purpose.

You move from riverbanks to kopjes, from herds of buffalo to the isolated stare of a leopard in a tree.

Lunch is served picnic-style in the wild, under the shade of a fig tree.

The day flows with the movement of animals and ends with the warm orange glow of another Serengeti sunset.

Day 3: Serengeti to Ngorongoro – From Plains to Highlands

After breakfast, you begin the journey to Ngorongoro as you observe the landscape shifts—golden plains give way to green highlands, you leave the Serengeti behind, but not before a final morning drive.

The animals are still active—elephants tossing dust, jackals darting through grass.

Along the way, you stop for wildlife, stretch your legs, and feel the altitude rise. By late afternoon, you reach the Ngorongor Ndutu plains and from here, you have another exciting opportunity to encounter vast wildlife.

After the adventure, drive heading to your Ngorognoro crater accommodation.

Lions sleep in open grass. Buffalo glare from behind their horns. You spot a rhino in the distance—rare and beautiful. Hippos grunt from the shallows as you stop for lunch near the water.

Day 4: Ngorongoro Crater – Into the Lost World

The descent into Ngorongoro happens in silence. The mist clings to the rim behind you. And then, slowly, the crater floor reveals itself—lush, alive, surrounded by steep green walls.

Zebra move in tight lines. Warthogs kneel to feed. A black rhino appears near the lake’s edge, still and heavy.

You pause for lunch beside a hippo pool, the water snorting and shifting as the giants surface and sink.

Every turn brings something—sometimes loud, sometimes quiet. But always unforgettable.

Day 5: Ngorongoro to Tarangire – Baobabs and Elephants

After breakfast, you drive toward Tarangire. The scenery changes again—rolling hills flatten out, baobabs start to rise, and dry riverbeds snake through the landscape.

You enter the park by afternoon. Elephants are everywhere—crossing the road, feeding beneath trees, dusting themselves at a riverbed. You catch sight of a leopard draped over a branch.

Sunsets here are deep orange, and the stars feel closer.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Day 6: Tarangire to Arusha – The Last Trail

Your final game drive starts early. Birds sing loud. The ground is soft from dew. A tower of giraffes crosses ahead as a herd of impalas stands frozen in the brush.

You linger, just a little longer, before the road turns back to Arusha.
