5-Day Tanzania Budget Safari: Serengeti & Ngorongoro

Your guide meets you at the airport or your hotel for breakfast and a full briefing before you set off for the Serengeti with lunch en route, arriving for an afternoon game drive. Buffalo, giraffe, eland, impala, Grant’s gazelle, lion, cheetah, leopard and jackal are resident here year round, and the migration adds wildebeest, zebra and Thomson’s gazelle when it passes through. Dinner and overnight at the lodge or camp.

A full day on the plains with picnic lunches carried with you. Beyond lion, leopard and cheetah, this is one of the few places where you can find all three African jackal species, along with spotted hyena, aardwolf and serval. Dinner and overnight at your lodge or campsite.

A last Serengeti game drive this morning, then lunch en route to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. You arrive in the evening for your first view from the rim, with dinner and overnight to follow.

Down onto the crater floor for the morning, through grassland, swamp and along the shore of the soda lake. Picnic lunch inside the caldera, then the climb back to the rim and the drive to Arusha, where you check into your hotel for the night.

After breakfast you board the morning shuttle north to Nairobi, arriving in the afternoon for a drop at your hotel or the airport.
