5 Epic Days Northern Tanzania
Overview
This Safari itinerary offers a curated immersion into the country’s most iconic landscapes and wildlife habitats. Beginning in Arusha, the adventure unfolds through Tarangire’s ancient baobabs and elephant herds, then continues to the endless savannah of Serengeti, where guests witness the pulse of the wild and possibly the Great Migration.
A full day in Serengeti brings close encounters with big cats and golden sunrise vistas, while the journey culminates in the Ngorongoro Crater—home to a dramatic array of biodiversity within a collapsed volcanic caldera.
Optional stops at Lake Manyara and a cultural experience in Mto wa Mbu village add richness to the return leg. This itinerary is designed for travelers seeking the best of Northern Tanzania in an expertly balanced mix of comfort, authenticity, and unforgettable scenery.
