6-Day Tanzania Safari: Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater

Explore Tanzania's Serengeti Plains, Ngorongoro Crater, and Maasai communities on a 6-day classic safari with included accommodation and meals.

Getting started

Begin your 6-day safari itinerary with convenient airport transfers that take you directly to your first lodge or camp as per the itinerary. Meet your professional, expert English-speaking driver guide and load your luggage into the dedicated 4x4 safari vehicle. Once everyone is ready, your guide outlines the plan for the coming days and you set off toward Tanzania's national parks and conservation areas.

What to expect

Serengeti Plains

The Serengeti Plains are known for vast savannahs, diverse ecosystems and, depending on the season, the Great Migration of wildebeest and zebras. You spend dedicated time here following wildlife across open grasslands and absorbing wide African horizon views.

Features

• Game drives in the Serengeti Plains give you opportunities to witness large herds of wildebeest and zebras, predators on the move, and changing light at sunrise and sunset that makes this a photography paradise.
• Your all ground transportation in a 4x4 safari vehicle, supported by park and conservation fees and all listed activities, is handled for you so you can focus on observing wildlife instead of logistics.
• An expert, professional English-speaking driver guide leads tracking and spotting, using binoculars for game viewing and sharing insights into the Serengeti ecosystem.
• At the end of each day, you return to accommodation as per itinerary, where breakfast, lunch, dinner, water, soft drinks, beer and wine are included along with taxes and VAT.

Ngorongoro Crater

The Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is one of the densest wildlife areas in Africa. Your safari vehicle descends into this volcanic caldera so you can explore its contrasting landscapes and concentrated animal life.

Features

• Inside Ngorongoro Crater, you move between grasslands and wet areas in a compact space that supports predators, grazing animals and birdlife, all framed by the surrounding crater walls.
• Park and conservation fees for Ngorongoro are already covered, and all listed activities during your crater visit form part of your 6-day safari itinerary.
• Your 4x4 safari vehicle is designed for this terrain, and your English-speaking driver guide positions the vehicle for clear viewing, with binoculars available for close-up looks.

Maasai communities

During the journey you visit local Maasai communities to learn about cultural traditions and daily life in this part of Tanzania. These encounters complement the wildlife focus of the Serengeti Plains and Ngorongoro Crater.

Features

• Time in Maasai communities gives you the chance to observe cultural practices and hear about the Maasai relationship with the surrounding savannahs and volcanic highlands.
• Transport to and from Maasai communities is included in your all ground transportation in a 4x4 safari vehicle, and the visit forms part of the all listed activities covered by your itinerary.
• Your expert English-speaking driver guide helps explain customs and facilitates conversation so you can better understand this cultural encounter within your 6-day safari itinerary.

Wrapping up

On your final day, your driver guide returns you by 4x4 safari vehicle to the airport, using the included airport transfers to close out the journey. International airfare, entry visa for Tanzania, travel insurance and medical repatriation, tips and gratuities, and any additional meals, drinks or services not listed remain at your own expense.
