After a delightful breakfast at the lodge, set off with your packed lunch for an unforgettable adventure in Tarangire National Park, a hidden gem known for its breathtaking landscapes and abundant wildlife. As you traverse the golden savannah, witness majestic herds of elephants roaming freely, offering an up-close and awe-inspiring experience. Pause for a scenic picnic lunch at one of the park’s most stunning viewpoints, where you can soak in the panoramic views of the Tarangire River, a vital water source that attracts a diverse array of wildlife.
Spend the afternoon exploring more of this untamed wilderness, spotting lions lounging under acacia trees, graceful giraffes gliding across the plains, and a myriad of bird species filling the air with their melodies. As the sun begins to set, head to Manyara, where a warm shower and a restful evening await, preparing you for another thrilling day of exploration.
After an early breakfast, set off on a breathtaking journey to Serengeti National Park, with packed lunch in hand. The drive through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area is nothing short of spectacular, offering panoramic views of rolling hills, dense forests, and vast open plains. Along the way, stop at a scenic viewpoint overlooking the Ngorongoro Crater, where you can marvel at one of Africa’s most remarkable natural wonders. As you continue toward Serengeti’s Naabi Hill Gate, the landscape gradually transforms into the endless golden savannah that defines this legendary park. Enjoy a delicious picnic lunch at the gate before venturing into the heart of the Serengeti, where an exciting afternoon game drive awaits. With the sun casting a golden glow over the plains, watch as lions prowl, elephants graze, and giraffes elegantly move through the wilderness before heading to your camp for a well-earned rest.
Your adventure continues with an unforgettable full-day game drive in the legendary Serengeti National Park, where every moment unveils nature’s raw beauty. As you traverse the vast plains, witness an abundance of wildlife—from powerful predators like lions and cheetahs to massive herds of wildebeest and zebras moving in perfect rhythm with the land. The Serengeti’s magic is in its details—the golden light dancing on the grass, the distant roar of a lion, the graceful flight of an eagle soaring above. If a tear glistens in your eye, it’s the overwhelming realization of nature’s grandeur and the deep responsibility to protect this untouched paradise. As the sun sets, return dusty but fulfilled to your camp, where a delicious dinner under a star-studded sky awaits, before resting to the soothing sounds of the African wilderness.
Rise early for an exhilarating morning game drive in the Serengeti, where the wilderness comes alive in the golden glow of dawn. This is the best time to witness predators in action—if luck is on your side, you may spot a lion or cheetah making a fresh kill, a raw and thrilling display of nature’s cycle. As the morning unfolds, return to camp for a hearty breakfast before gathering your belongings and setting off on another scenic game drive. The journey continues toward Ngorongoro, offering more incredible wildlife sightings along the way. Your adventure pauses at Naabi Hill Gate, the perfect spot to soak in the endless Serengeti views before exiting the park. Upon arrival in Ngorongoro, settle into your lodge for a hot shower and well-earned rest, preparing for yet another day of discovery in Africa’s breathtaking wilderness.
After an early breakfast, descend over 600 meters into the Ngorongoro Crater, a natural wonder teeming with wildlife. This breathtaking caldera, often called the "Garden of Eden," provides a permanent water source that sustains vast herds of wildebeest, zebras, buffaloes, elands, warthogs, hippos, and the majestic African elephant. The crater's unique ecosystem ensures that game viewing here is truly unmatched, offering one of the best safari experiences in Tanzania.
A major highlight of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area is its dense population of predators, including powerful lions, elusive leopards, agile cheetahs, cunning hyenas, and stealthy jackals. With patience and a keen eye, you may witness thrilling wildlife interactions in this natural amphitheater. After an incredible morning of exploration, ascend the crater and begin your return journey to Moshi, Arusha, or the airport, marking the end of your 5-day Tanzania camping safari—an adventure filled with unforgettable moments in the African wilderness.

The cost of a safari is influenced by several important factors. These include the number of people in your group, the total number of days on safari, the category of accommodation (budget, mid-range, or luxury), park entrance fees, the type of safari vehicle, and whether it’s a private or shared tour. Additional elements like internal flights, special experiences (such as hot air balloon rides), and the time of year also play a role. For example, prices during the Great Migration season in the Serengeti are generally higher due to increased demand. Each safari quote is carefully crafted to match your preferences, making your experience both personal and flexible.
Yes, there are several ways to make your safari more affordable without compromising the experience. Traveling in a group is one of the easiest ways to lower costs, as expenses like vehicle use, fuel, and guide fees are shared. You can also choose budget accommodations, which are still comfortable and well located. Traveling during the low or shoulder season—outside of major holidays or migration peaks—can also significantly reduce costs. Additionally, opting for fewer days or choosing parks that are close to each other (like Tarangire and Lake Manyara) helps cut down on driving time and fuel expenses.
A safari becomes more expensive when you choose high-end lodges or tented camps, especially those with exclusive amenities like private plunge pools or personal butlers. Booking a private safari vehicle with a dedicated guide also increases the cost but offers a more personalized experience. Other price boosters include internal flights (which save time but come at a premium), visiting remote parks that require long drives or charter flights, and adding unique extras like hot air balloon safaris, Maasai village visits, or bush dinners. Peak season travel—typically from July to October or during the December holidays—also comes with higher rates due to demand.
Yes, joining a group safari is a great way to reduce the cost, especially for solo travelers or small groups. You’ll share the vehicle, guide, and some accommodation with others, which spreads out the fixed costs. Group safaris are also a fun way to meet fellow travelers from around the world, and many guests enjoy the social aspect. However, keep in mind that group tours follow a fixed itinerary, so if you’re looking for flexibility or privacy, a private safari might suit you better.
Absolutely! Many lodges and national parks in Tanzania offer discounted rates for children, and we always include these savings when planning a family safari. The exact age cut-off and percentage varies by provider, but typically children under 12 receive reduced rates on both accommodation and park entry. For families, we also recommend lodges with family-friendly facilities, child-safe environments, and flexible meal options to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for all.
Yes, we offer flexible payment options to make your safari planning stress-free. A small deposit is usually required to confirm your booking, especially for securing accommodations and park permits. After that, you’re welcome to pay the remaining balance in manageable installments before your travel date. We’ll work with you to create a payment schedule that suits your timeline and budget, so you can focus on getting excited about your adventure.
Our safari packages are mostly all-inclusive to give you peace of mind. Typically, the price covers all park entrance fees, government taxes, accommodation, daily meals (usually breakfast, lunch, and dinner), a professional English-speaking safari guide, and transport in a 4x4 safari vehicle with a pop-up roof for game viewing. Bottled drinking water during game drives is also included. Not included are items such as international flights, visas, personal travel insurance, alcoholic beverages, tips for staff, and optional activities not listed in your itinerary.
This depends on the safari option you choose. If you book a private safari, you will have the entire vehicle and guide to yourself or your group. If you join a group safari, you’ll be sharing the vehicle with other travelers who booked the same itinerary and dates. Group safaris are more cost-effective, while private safaris offer greater comfort, flexibility, and privacy—especially ideal for couples, families, or photographers.
We’ll make it crystal clear in your quotation and tour description. If it’s a private safari, you’ll see that the vehicle, guide, and accommodations are reserved just for you. For group safaris, we’ll mention the number of participants, fixed departure dates, and shared services. If you’re not sure which option is better for you, we’re happy to advise based on your travel style and budget.
