Meet your professional English-speaking driver-guide and fellow travellers before departing for Tarangire National Park, one of Tanzania's most beautiful wildlife destinations.

Tarangire is famous for its enormous elephant herds, ancient baobab trees and diverse wildlife habitats. Upon arrival, begin your game drive through the park, searching for elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, buffalo, lions and various antelope species.

Enjoy a picnic lunch at a designated site before continuing your afternoon game drive along the Tarangire River and surrounding savannah.

Later, leave the park and drive towards Karatu, a scenic highland town near the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Arrive at your campsite, settle into your camping accommodation and enjoy dinner before resting for the night.

Travel through the conservation area and proceed towards Naabi Hill Gate, the main southeastern entrance to Serengeti National Park.

After completing park entry formalities, continue towards Central Serengeti, enjoying wildlife sightings along the way. The Seronera region is renowned for its resident lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes and large populations of plains animals.

Enjoy a picnic lunch during the journey before continuing your game drive towards Seronera Public Campsite.

The Seronera region offers excellent year-round wildlife viewing, particularly for travellers interested in observing Africa's famous big cats. Your professional driver-guide will explore productive wildlife areas, searching for lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, buffalo, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest and numerous antelope species.

During June and July, wildebeest herds may be moving towards western and northern Serengeti. However, the standard group safari concentrates on Central Serengeti, where resident wildlife remains abundant throughout the year.

Enjoy a picnic lunch at a designated location before continuing your afternoon wildlife exploration.

Driving Time: Approximately 5–7 hours, including wildlife-viewing stops.

Begin your morning with breakfast at Seronera Public Campsite before departing for a final game drive in Serengeti National Park.

The early morning provides rewarding wildlife-viewing opportunities as predators and other animals are often active before the afternoon heat. Your driver-guide will explore suitable areas while gradually travelling towards the southeastern section of Serengeti.

Continue towards Naabi Hill Gate, where you exit Serengeti National Park and proceed through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.

Along the journey, admire the changing landscapes, from Serengeti's open grasslands to the cooler Ngorongoro Highlands. Depending on road conditions and the group's schedule, your guide may make scenic stops at permitted locations.

How Our Tanzania Group Safari Works

The group visits Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater, following the published safari schedule.

Game-drive routes and stops are coordinated by the driver-guide, taking into account wildlife sightings, park regulations and the interests of the group.

Solo travellers, couples and friends can join available departures without needing to book an entire private safari vehicle.

Group Safari vs Private Safari

Why Choose Our Small-Group Safari?

With a maximum of seven travellers per vehicle, our shared safari provides a practical balance between affordability, comfortable wildlife viewing and an enjoyable group travel experience.

Our 5-day Tanzania group safari explores three outstanding wildlife destinations: Tarangire National Park, Central Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater.

Each destination offers a different wildlife experience, from Tarangire's elephant herds and baobab landscapes to Serengeti's predators and Ngorongoro's concentrated wildlife populations.

Big Five Wildlife Viewing Opportunities

All wildlife sightings depend on natural animal movements, weather and conditions during game drives.

Great Migration Viewing in Central Serengeti

The Serengeti Great Migration is a year-round movement of wildebeest and zebras through the wider Serengeti–Mara ecosystem. Herd locations change according to seasonal rainfall and grazing conditions.

Our standard 5-day group safari focuses on Central Serengeti, with accommodation at Seronera Public Campsite.

During some months, migrating herds may pass through or near the Central Serengeti. However, the itinerary does not specifically follow the migration into the Western Corridor or Northern Serengeti.

Travellers should therefore consider this a year-round wildlife safari with possible Great Migration encounters, rather than a dedicated migration-tracking or Mara River crossing safari.

Wildlife Viewing During AFCON 2027

AFCON 2027 takes place from 19 June to 17 July, overlapping with Tanzania's dry-season wildlife-viewing period.

During June and July, migrating wildebeest and zebras may be moving through the Western Corridor or towards Northern Serengeti, depending on rainfall and grazing conditions.

Although large migration herds are not guaranteed in Central Serengeti during this period, the Seronera region remains an excellent area for viewing resident lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes and other wildlife.

Best Wildlife Experiences by Destination

Tarangire National Park

Tarangire is particularly known for elephants, baobab trees, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest and varied birdlife. Wildlife concentrations around the Tarangire River generally increase as the dry season progresses.

Central Serengeti National Park

The Seronera region supports resident predators and grazing animals throughout the year. Travellers may encounter lions, leopards, cheetahs, hyenas, giraffes, elephants, buffaloes, zebras and antelopes.

Ngorongoro Crater

The Ngorongoro Crater offers opportunities to observe lions, buffaloes, elephants, hippos, flamingos and black rhinoceroses. Its varied habitats support abundant wildlife within a relatively compact area.

Can I See Mara River Crossings on This Safari?

The standard 5-day Tanzania group safari does not visit the Northern Serengeti Mara River crossing areas.

Travellers specifically interested in witnessing dramatic wildebeest river crossings should consider a dedicated Northern Serengeti migration safari, generally planned around July to October.

River crossings are unpredictable and cannot be guaranteed, even on specialized migration itineraries.

Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater offer rewarding wildlife viewing throughout the year. The best time to travel depends on seasonal rainfall, vegetation, animal movements and personal preferences.

June to October generally offers excellent dry-season game viewing, with wildlife increasingly gathering around permanent water sources. January to March brings greener landscapes and seasonal wildebeest calving in the Southern Serengeti, although that area is not included in this standard Central Serengeti itinerary.

Tanzania Safari Seasons 2027–2028

Best Months for Wildlife Viewing

June–October: Excellent for general wildlife viewing, particularly elephants in Tarangire and resident predators in Central Serengeti.

January–March: Attractive for greener landscapes and year-round wildlife in Ngorongoro Crater and Central Serengeti.

April–May: Suitable for travellers who prefer quieter safari conditions and green scenery.

Important: The standard five-day itinerary explores Central Serengeti. Northern Serengeti Mara River crossings are not included.

Is June–July a Good Time for the Great Migration?

June and July are excellent months for general wildlife viewing in Northern Tanzania. However, the Great Migration herds may be moving through the Western Corridor or towards Northern Serengeti rather than remaining in Central Serengeti.

Our standard 5-day safari concentrates on Seronera, Tarangire and Ngorongoro. Travellers visiting during AFCON 2027 can enjoy excellent wildlife-viewing opportunities, but should not expect guaranteed Great Migration herds or Mara River crossings.

For travellers whose main priority is migration river crossings, East Africa Jungle recommends a dedicated Northern Serengeti itinerary with additional nights near the Mara River.

The Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON 2027) is scheduled for 19 June to 17 July 2027, with Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda hosting the tournament.

Football supporters visiting East Africa can combine their match experience with a five-day Tanzania group safari departing from Arusha.

How to Plan Your Safari Around AFCON 2027

1. Choose Your Safari Dates

Allow five complete days for the safari. Plan your departure before or after your scheduled football matches to avoid conflicting travel arrangements.

2. Arrive in Arusha Before Departure

Our group safari normally begins with hotel pickup between 6:00 AM and 6:30 AM. Arriving in Arusha the previous day allows sufficient time for your scheduled departure.

3. Arrange Transport Between Football Host Cities and Arusha

Depending on your match location, onward travel to Arusha may involve domestic flights, road transfers or overnight accommodation.

4. Reserve Your Safari Early

June and July are popular safari months in Tanzania. Advance reservations help secure your preferred group departure and camping arrangements.

5. Confirm Additional Travel Services

Airport transfers, Arusha accommodation and private safari upgrades can be arranged separately.

What's Not Included in Your AFCON Safari?

Football match tickets, stadium transfers, match-day transport and international flights are not included in the standard safari package.

Enhance your 5 Days Tarangire, Serengeti & Ngorongoro Group Safari with selected optional activities, subject to availability, travel schedules and additional charges.

1. Serengeti Hot-Air Balloon Safari

Experience the Serengeti from above during an early morning hot-air balloon flight, offering panoramic views of the plains and wildlife habitats.

Indicative Price: USD 580–630 per person.

Location: Serengeti National Park.

Duration: Approximately 1 hour in the air, with additional time for transfers and the balloon experience.

Availability: Advance booking required; weather-dependent.

The balloon safari would normally replace part of the scheduled morning game drive on Day 3.

Location: Along the Ngorongoro or Karatu route, depending on the itinerary.

Price: Quoted separately.

Availability: Subject to group agreement, local arrangements and sufficient travel time.

3. Private Safari Vehicle Upgrade

Travellers who prefer greater flexibility can request an exclusive safari vehicle and private driver-guide.

A private safari allows greater control over game-drive timing, photography stops and daily activities.

Price: Based on the number of travellers and selected accommodation category.

4. Additional Arusha Accommodation

Travellers arriving before their safari departure or extending their stay after the safari can request hotel accommodation in Arusha.

Options: Budget, mid-range and luxury hotels.

Price: Quoted according to hotel category, room occupancy and travel dates.

Important Information About Optional Activities

Optional activities are not included in the standard safari price unless specifically listed in the confirmed booking agreement.

All activities must be arranged in advance and may depend on availability, weather, park regulations and the shared group's itinerary.

Packing appropriately for your 5 Days Tanzania Group Safari During AFCON 2027 helps ensure a comfortable experience across Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater.

June and July generally bring dry conditions, warm afternoons and cooler early mornings, particularly in the Ngorongoro Highlands.
