5-Day Tanzania Safari: Serengeti & Ngorongoro Crater

Two headline parks, boutique camps, and time to actually slow down
5-Day Tanzania Safari: Serengeti & Ngorongoro Crater

OVERVIEW

For travelers who’d rather go deep on two parks than skim across four. This is our slowest-paced short safari, built around boutique camps and enough time in one place to actually settle in.

  • Two full days in the Serengeti’s central plains
  • Handpicked boutique lodges and tented camps
  • A dramatic Ngorongoro Crater descent to finish
  • Extra time built in for photography and sundowners

day by day

Full itinerary

A relaxed first day to shake off the flight, settle into your lodge, run through the week ahead over dinner, and get an early night before the parks begin in earnest.

A scenic drive through the Ngorongoro highlands drops you into the Serengeti by early afternoon, with a game drive already underway on the way to camp.

An entire day is given over to the plains lion prides working the shade, cheetah scanning from a termite mound, and the low, constant movement of grazing herds that gives this landscape its rhythm.

Descend into Ngorongoro’s caldera for a full day among some of the highest wildlife densities on the continent: black rhino, lion, and soda lakes lined with flamingos.

One last scenic drive back through coffee country, with time for photographs and an easy lunch before your onward transfer.
