5-Day Big Five Tanzania Safari: Three Iconic destination |Tarangire| Serengeti National Park| Ngorongoro Crater

This five-day safari takes you through some of Tanzania's most famous wildlife country in search of the Big Five: lions, elephants, leopards, buffaloes and rhinos. You begin with a scenic drive from Arusha to Tarangire National Park, known for its ancient baobab trees, huge elephant herds and rich birdlife along the Tarangire River. From there you head to the endless plains of the Serengeti, where predators roam and the Great Migration may be in motion, depending on the season. A full day in the Serengeti is spent tracking big cats alongside herds of wildebeest and zebras, and a walking safari or hot air balloon ride can add a magical touch. On day four you descend into Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the best places in Africa to spot the elusive black rhino. The trip wraps up with a visit to Lake Manyara, known for its tree-climbing lions and flamingo-lined shores, or a return to Arusha for your departure. Airport transfers and local travel are covered, along with accommodation in hotels, lodges or camping, depending on the style of the tour.
