5 Days
Northern Quick Discovery
A compact yet thrilling introduction to Northern Tanzania’s classic parks — perfect if time is limited but you still want a true safari experience.
Not everyone has two weeks. But five days in northern Tanzania — done right — can deliver memories that last a lifetime. This compact itinerary takes you from the elephant-rich plains of Tarangire to the vast theatre of the Serengeti, with a descent into the extraordinary natural bowl of Ngorongoro Crater. The pace is energetic and the wildlife rewards are immediate. Perfect for first-time visitors, those adding a safari to a longer trip, or anyone who simply refuses to compromise.
Day 1 – Arrival in Arusha
Your driver-guide meets you at Kilimanjaro International Airport or Arusha Airport and transfers you to your accommodation in Arusha. A brief safari briefing over dinner sets the scene for the days ahead. Overnight in Arusha.
Day 2 – Tarangire National Park
An early departure takes you south-west to Tarangire — one of Tanzania’s most underrated parks and home to one of Africa’s largest concentration of elephants. Spend a full day exploring the park’s ancient baobab forests, dry riverbeds and open savanna. Lions, leopards, giraffes and an extraordinary diversity of birdlife complete the picture.
Dinner and night in a confortable lodge
Day 3 & 4 – Serengeti National Park
Explore the park and you will immerse yourself in the abundant wildlife of one of the most famous park in Africa. Explore the Serengeti at your guide’s discretion — tracking lions at dawn, following cheetah hunts across the open plains, watching elephant families move between waterholes.
Dinner and night in a confortable lodge in the park
Day 5 – Ngorongoro Crater
Embark on a scenic road, where your guide will stop you at several viewpoints to enjoy crater rim views. Glide through Ngorongoro caldera tracking lions, elephants, buffalo, zebra and rhinos in their natural habitat.
