Safari Price: From USD 1,495 per person, based on six paying adults. Rates are indicative and subject to travel dates and availability.

Duration: 6 Days / 5 Nights
Safari Type: Private Mid-Range Safari
Starting Point: Arusha, Tanzania

• Three Nights in Central Serengeti: Enjoy extended time in one of Africa's most celebrated wildlife destinations without changing camps every day.

• Two Full Serengeti Game-Drive Days: Explore different wildlife habitats with time to observe predators, grazing herds and other resident animals.

• Tarangire's Elephants and Baobab Landscapes: Discover the park's remarkable elephant populations and iconic ancient trees.

• Ngorongoro Crater Wildlife Experience: Descend into the UNESCO-listed conservation area's famous volcanic caldera in search of lions, buffaloes, hippos and other wildlife.

• Comfortable Mid-Range Safari Accommodation: Stay in selected lodges and tented camps that balance comfort with an authentic safari atmosphere.

• Flexible Private Safari Experience: Travel at your own pace with a dedicated guide and a private safari vehicle throughout the journey.

Spending three nights in Central Serengeti allows for a more relaxed safari experience than itineraries with only one or two nights in the park. With accommodation at Serengeti Kati Kati Tented Camp or a similar property, travellers can explore different wildlife habitats without changing camps every day. Your guide can adapt each outing to recent wildlife activity, weather conditions and animal movements. This extended stay also provides opportunities for early-morning photography, quieter wildlife encounters and time to enjoy the Serengeti landscape.

This 6 Days Tanzania Safari itinerary explores three of northern Tanzania’s outstanding wildlife destinations: Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater. Travelling in a private 4×4 safari Land Cruiser with a professional driver-guide, you will experience changing landscapes, extensive game drives and some of Tanzania’s best-known wildlife areas.

Day 1: Arusha – Tarangire National Park

Your 6 Days Tanzania Wildlife Safari begins in Arusha, where your driver-guide will meet you for a short safari briefing before departing for Tarangire National Park. The drive normally takes approximately 2–2.5 hours, depending on traffic and road conditions.

After entering the park, begin your first game drive through a landscape characterised by open savannah, seasonal wetlands and enormous baobab trees. Tarangire is particularly well known for its elephants, and large family groups can often be seen moving between feeding areas and the Tarangire River. The park also supports giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, buffaloes, impalas, warthogs and a variety of predators.

Enjoy lunch during the day before continuing your afternoon game drive. Later, leave the park or proceed to your selected accommodation for dinner and overnight.

Driving Time: Approximately 2–2.5 hours from Arusha
Meals: Lunch & Dinner
Overnight: Tarangire / Karatu area

Day 2: Tarangire – Serengeti National Park

After breakfast, depart the Tarangire area and continue towards the legendary Serengeti National Park. The journey takes you through northern Tanzania’s changing landscapes, with views of the highlands as you travel towards the vast Serengeti ecosystem.

Depending on the location of your accommodation and road conditions, the journey can take approximately 5–7 hours including stops and wildlife viewing along the way. After entering the Serengeti, the transfer gradually becomes a game drive as you search for wildlife across the open plains.

The Serengeti supports an exceptional diversity of animals, including lions, elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, cheetahs, leopards, zebras and large numbers of antelopes. During migration periods, wildebeest and zebra herds may also be encountered depending on their seasonal location.

Continue to your tented camp or lodge in the Serengeti for dinner and overnight.

Driving Time: Approximately 5–7 hours, depending on route and stops
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
Overnight: Central Serengeti

Day 3: Full-Day Serengeti Safari

Wake up in the heart of the Serengeti National Park and prepare for a full day devoted to wildlife viewing. After breakfast, set out with your driver-guide to explore the plains, river valleys and rocky kopjes that provide habitat for an extraordinary variety of wildlife.

The Serengeti is one of Africa’s renowned predator-viewing destinations. Lions are frequently encountered, while cheetahs may be seen scanning the plains from elevated positions. Leopards are more elusive but can sometimes be spotted resting in trees or around riverine woodland. Elephants, buffaloes, giraffes, hippos and numerous antelope species add to the diversity.

Your game-drive route will depend on current wildlife movements and local conditions. During appropriate seasons, your guide may also search for concentrations of wildebeest and zebra associated with the Great Migration.

Enjoy a picnic lunch in the park or return to camp, depending on the day’s game-drive plan, before continuing your safari into the afternoon.

Game Drive: Full day
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
Overnight: Central Serengeti

Day 4: Full-Day Serengeti Safari

Enjoy a second full day in the Serengeti, giving you additional time to explore areas that could not be covered during the previous day. Having two complete days here is one of the key advantages of this six-day itinerary, as wildlife sightings and animal movements can vary considerably from one day to another.

An early start can provide excellent opportunities to observe wildlife while temperatures are cooler and predators may still be active. Your driver-guide will choose the day's route according to recent sightings, seasonal conditions and your interests.

You may encounter prides of lions resting around rocky kopjes, elephants moving through woodland, cheetahs hunting on open plains or hippos gathering in pools. Birdlife is equally diverse, with eagles, vultures, storks and many smaller species found throughout the ecosystem.

After an extensive day of game viewing, return to your Serengeti accommodation for dinner and your final night in the park.

Game Drive: Full day
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
Overnight: Central Serengeti

Day 5: Serengeti – Ngorongoro Conservation Area

After breakfast, enjoy a final Serengeti game drive as you begin travelling towards the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Leaving the Serengeti does not mean the wildlife experience is over, as the journey provides further opportunities to encounter animals across the plains and surrounding habitats.

Depending on the route and wildlife sightings, the drive towards Ngorongoro generally takes approximately 3–5 hours. Your guide can make strategic stops along the way when interesting wildlife is encountered.

As you approach the Ngorongoro highlands, the scenery changes from the open Serengeti plains to elevated grasslands and volcanic landscapes. On arrival near the crater rim or Karatu area, settle into your accommodation and enjoy the cooler highland surroundings.

Rest during the evening and prepare for an early start the following morning, when you will descend into the Ngorongoro Crater for the final major game drive of your Tanzania safari.

Driving Time: Approximately 3–5 hours, depending on route and game viewing
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
Overnight: Ngorongoro / Karatu area

Day 6: Ngorongoro Crater – Arusha

After an early breakfast, travel to the Ngorongoro Crater and descend approximately 600 metres to the crater floor for your final game drive. The crater’s grasslands, wetlands, woodland and permanent water sources support a remarkable concentration of wildlife within a relatively compact area.

During the game drive, look for lions, buffaloes, zebras, wildebeest, hippos, hyenas and elephants. The Ngorongoro Crater is also one of the places in northern Tanzania where there is a possibility of seeing the endangered black rhino, although sightings cannot be guaranteed.

Enjoy a picnic lunch at a designated site before continuing your game drive and later ascending from the crater.

Afterwards, begin the drive back to Arusha, normally taking approximately 3–4 hours from the Ngorongoro/Karatu area. Upon arrival, you will be dropped off at your hotel or another agreed location, marking the end of your 6 Days Tanzania Wildlife Safari.

Driving Time: Approximately 3–4 hours to Arusha after the crater visit
Meals: Breakfast & Lunch
End Point: Arusha

Enjoy five nights in carefully selected mid-range safari lodges and tented camps throughout your 6 Days Tanzania Wildlife Safari. Our accommodation options combine comfort, convenient access to wildlife areas and warm Tanzanian hospitality.

From a comfortable lodge near Tarangire to an authentic tented safari experience in the Serengeti, each overnight stay is planned to complement your wildlife adventure.

Your Tanzania safari can be personalised with additional experiences before, during or after the main itinerary.

Serengeti Hot-Air Balloon Safari

Experience the Serengeti from the air on an early-morning hot-air balloon safari. Flights normally take place around sunrise, offering a different perspective of the plains and wildlife below. The experience typically concludes with a bush breakfast before you rejoin your driver-guide and continue your scheduled game drive.

Maasai Cultural Experience

Add a visit to a local Maasai community to learn about traditional lifestyles, family structures, livestock, customs and cultural practices. The exact experience and community visited will depend on your safari route and arrangements.

Olduvai Gorge Visit

When travelling between the Serengeti and Ngorongoro, an optional stop can be arranged at Olduvai Gorge, an important archaeological area associated with research into early human history. This works particularly well with the Day 5 transfer, subject to timing.

Luxury Safari Accommodation Upgrade

Upgrade selected nights to higher-end safari lodges or luxury tented camps in Tarangire, Serengeti or Ngorongoro. This option is ideal for honeymooners, couples celebrating a special occasion or travellers seeking additional comfort.

Zanzibar Beach Extension

After returning to Arusha, continue your Tanzania holiday with a flight to Zanzibar for a beach stay. A Zanzibar extension can include Stone Town, Nungwi, Kendwa or another coastal area depending on your preferred style of holiday.

Additional Safari Nights

Extra nights can be added in the Serengeti, Ngorongoro or Tarangire for travellers who prefer a slower-paced itinerary or want additional wildlife-viewing and photography time.

Optional experiences should be requested in advance so availability, logistics and any additional costs can be confirmed before your safari.

A safari through Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro offers opportunities to encounter an impressive variety of East African wildlife.

Big Cats & Predators

The Serengeti National Park is particularly renowned for predators. Lions are commonly encountered across the plains, while cheetahs favour open areas where they can use their speed to hunt. Leopards are more elusive and are often associated with trees and riverine woodland. Spotted hyenas, jackals and other smaller predators may also be seen.

Elephants & Large Mammals

Tarangire National Park is especially famous for elephants, including large family herds gathering around water sources during the dry season. You may also encounter buffaloes, giraffes, hippos and warthogs throughout the safari.

Wildebeest, Zebras & Antelopes

The Serengeti supports large populations of wildebeest, zebras, gazelles and other plains game. Depending on the season and location of the herds, your safari may coincide with part of the Great Wildebeest Migration.

Wildlife of the Ngorongoro Crater

The Ngorongoro Crater supports a high concentration of wildlife within its grasslands, woodland and wetlands. Lions, buffaloes, wildebeest, zebras, hippos and hyenas are frequently encountered. The crater also offers a possibility of seeing the endangered black rhino, although sightings are never guaranteed.

Birdlife is abundant throughout the northern Tanzania safari circuit, with opportunities to see raptors, storks, hornbills, ostriches, flamingos and many other species.

Wildlife is free-ranging and sightings vary according to season, weather and animal movements, which makes every Tanzania safari different.

A 6 Days Tanzania Wildlife Safari can be enjoyed throughout the year, with rewarding wildlife viewing in Tarangire National Park, Central Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater.

The best time to visit depends on your preferred wildlife experiences, seasonal weather conditions and whether you want to focus on resident wildlife or the Great Migration.

Tanzania Safari Seasons and Wildlife Highlights

Is This Safari Suitable Throughout the Year?

Yes. The standard itinerary is designed for year-round wildlife viewing, with three nights in Central Serengeti and visits to Tarangire and Ngorongoro Crater.

Central Serengeti supports resident wildlife throughout the year, including lions, leopards, elephants, giraffes and various antelope species.

Travellers specifically interested in migration calving or Mara River crossings should consider a customised seasonal itinerary, as these events occur in different parts of the Serengeti ecosystem.

Wildlife movements are natural and unpredictable, so sightings cannot be guaranteed.

Understanding the approximate driving times helps you plan your 6 Days Tanzania Safari and know how much time is spent travelling between wildlife areas.

Driving times are approximate and may vary depending on road conditions, weather, the location of your accommodation, park entry procedures and wildlife stops.

One advantage of travelling by road is that transfers between safari destinations form part of the overall experience. Once inside the wildlife areas, your journey can include game viewing rather than simply travelling from one lodge to another.

The longest transfer is generally between Tarangire and the Serengeti, but the itinerary compensates for this by providing three nights in the Serengeti and two dedicated full days for game viewing.

The 6 Days Tanzania Wildlife Safari includes three nights in Central Serengeti, offering excellent opportunities to observe resident wildlife throughout the year.

However, the Great Migration moves seasonally across the Serengeti ecosystem. Travellers hoping to witness wildebeest calving or dramatic Mara River crossings may benefit from adjusting their itinerary to visit the areas where migration activity is most likely during their travel dates.

Compare Our Tanzania Safari Options

Migration timing varies with rainfall and grazing conditions. River crossings, calving activity and specific wildlife sightings cannot be guaranteed.

Standard Safari – Central Serengeti Wildlife Experience

Our standard six-day itinerary combines Tarangire, Central Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater.

With three nights in Central Serengeti, travellers enjoy two full days of game drives, allowing time to explore different habitats and observe resident wildlife without frequently changing accommodation.

Best suited for: First-time safari visitors, couples, families and travellers seeking a balanced Tanzania wildlife experience.

Ndutu Calving Season Safari – January to March

During the early months of the year, large wildebeest herds often gather around the southern Serengeti and Ndutu plains, where the calving season typically peaks around January and February.

This seasonal safari can be customised to include accommodation in or near Ndutu, allowing more time to explore areas associated with calving activity and predator encounters.

Best suited for: Wildlife photographers, migration enthusiasts and travellers interested in calving-season wildlife behaviour.

Northern Serengeti Migration Safari – July to October

During the northern migration season, large wildebeest and zebra herds may gather in Northern Serengeti, particularly around the Mara River.

A customised itinerary can include accommodation near Kogatende, providing access to northern wildlife-viewing areas and potential river-crossing locations.

Best suited for: Travellers specifically interested in the Great Migration and possible Mara River crossings.

Can I Customise This Six-Day Tanzania Safari?

Yes. East Africa Jungle can tailor your private safari to focus on Central Serengeti wildlife, the Ndutu calving season or Northern Serengeti migration activity.

Seasonal changes may require adjustments to:

• Safari route: Reorganising game drives and travel distances to reach the relevant migration areas.

• Accommodation: Selecting camps closer to Ndutu or Northern Serengeti.

• Overnight stays: Redistributing nights between destinations to allow sufficient wildlife-viewing time.

• Safari price: Recalculating costs according to seasonal lodge rates, park fees, additional driving distances and optional domestic flights.

The advertised From USD 1,495 per person starting price applies to the standard safari pricing structure and should not be assumed to cover customised migration itineraries.

Contact East Africa Jungle with your preferred travel month to receive a personalised Tanzania migration safari proposal.

This 6-day Tanzania safari is ideal for couples, families, photographers and first-time visitors seeking a well-paced wildlife holiday. It particularly suits travellers who prefer comfortable lodges and tented camps, flexible daily schedules and enough time to enjoy Tanzania's national parks without rushing between destinations.

Packing appropriately can make your Tanzania safari more comfortable, particularly because temperatures and conditions vary between Tarangire, the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro highlands.

Essential Safari Clothing

Pack lightweight, comfortable clothing in neutral colours such as khaki, beige, brown or green. Long-sleeved shirts and lightweight trousers provide additional protection from the sun, dust and insects. A warm fleece, sweater or light jacket is recommended for early-morning game drives and the cooler Ngorongoro highlands.

Comfortable closed walking shoes or trainers are suitable for most safari activities, together with sandals or other casual footwear for relaxing at your lodge or camp.

Safari Essentials

We recommend bringing:

• Sunglasses and a wide-brimmed sun hat

• High-SPF sunscreen

• Insect repellent

• Personal toiletries and medications

• Small daypack

• Reusable water bottle

• Binoculars for wildlife viewing

• Camera, spare batteries and additional memory cards

• Phone and camera chargers

• Power bank

• Travel documents and copies of important booking information

Camera & Photography Equipment

Wildlife photographers may want to bring a telephoto lens for animals at a distance and a wider lens for landscapes. A bean bag can also be useful for stabilising a camera while photographing wildlife from the safari vehicle.

Travel Documents

Before travelling, check that you have your passport, appropriate Tanzania entry documentation, travel insurance details, flight information and safari confirmation documents. Entry and health requirements can change, so travellers should verify the latest official requirements before departure.

Pack Light & Practically

Soft-sided luggage is generally easier to store in safari vehicles than large hard-shell suitcases. If your Tanzania holiday includes domestic bush flights, check the airline's current baggage allowance before packing because smaller aircraft may have stricter weight and luggage requirements.

• Local Tanzania Safari Planning: Our safari team helps coordinate your itinerary, accommodation preferences and travel arrangements, with practical advice tailored to your departure dates.

• Transparent Quotations: Receive a detailed safari quotation outlining accommodation, park fees, transport, included activities and any additional costs before confirming your booking.

• Experienced Safari Guides: Travel with a professional English-speaking safari guide who assists with wildlife identification, park navigation and daily safari planning.

• Booking and Travel Support: Receive assistance with pre-departure arrangements, pickup details, accommodation confirmations and safari logistics throughout your journey.

1. Choosing the Right Serengeti Camp Location

Central Serengeti's Seronera region provides access to several wildlife habitats, including open plains, river systems and rocky kopjes. We recommend accommodation locations based on the planned game-drive routes, travel dates and availability. Staying within a convenient driving distance of the day's exploration areas helps reduce unnecessary transfers and maximise time in the field.

2. Planning Game Drives Around Wildlife Activity

Early mornings and late afternoons can be particularly rewarding for wildlife observation and photography. However, animal behaviour varies with weather, season and local conditions. Your guide should adjust departure times, picnic stops and game-drive routes using current park conditions rather than following a rigid schedule. Sightings remain unpredictable, even in wildlife-rich areas.

3. Allowing Enough Time for Park Transfers

Driving between Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Serengeti involves changing road conditions, park entry procedures and occasional delays. On transfer days, it is important to balance travel time with scheduled wildlife activities. We recommend early departures when appropriate, realistic arrival expectations and sufficient time for the Ngorongoro Crater visit before continuing to the next destination.

Scheduled arrival and departure transfers can be arranged from Kilimanjaro International Airport or Arusha Airport, depending on your flight arrangements. Your quotation will specify which airport transfers are included and whether additional charges apply. Please provide your flight details in advance so we can coordinate pickup and departure times.

4. Is this a private safari or a group-joining tour?

This is a private Tanzania safari, with a dedicated 4×4 Land Cruiser and professional English-speaking safari guide for your travelling party. You will not share the safari vehicle with unrelated travellers. The private arrangement allows greater flexibility in game-drive timing, photography stops and daily activities, subject to national park regulations.

5. Which lodges and tented camps are included in the safari?

The proposed itinerary features comfortable lodge and tented-camp accommodation, including Eileen's Trees Inn in Karatu and Serengeti Kati Kati Tented Camp in Central Serengeti, or comparable alternatives.

6. Is the 6-day Tanzania safari suitable for children and families?

Yes. This private safari can be suitable for families with children, particularly those who prefer flexible game-drive schedules and private transport.

Please provide each child's age at the time of travel so we can recommend suitable rooms, calculate applicable discounts and prepare an accurate family quotation.

7. Can we see the Great Migration during this Tanzania safari?

The Serengeti offers excellent year-round wildlife-viewing opportunities, but Great Migration sightings depend on seasonal rainfall and herd movements.

Travellers interested in Ndutu's calving season or Northern Serengeti river crossings can request a seasonally adjusted itinerary, subject to additional travel time and costs. Wildlife sightings and river crossings cannot be guaranteed.

8. What is the best time to book a 6-day Tanzania safari?

Tanzania offers rewarding wildlife experiences throughout the year. June to October is generally popular for drier conditions, while January to March can be particularly attractive for travellers interested in the southern Serengeti and Ndutu calving season. April and May may offer quieter travel periods, although rainfall can affect driving conditions. We recommend booking several months ahead, especially for peak-season travel and preferred lodges.

A 30% deposit is normally required to confirm your safari, followed by a further 30% payment 21 days before departure, with the remaining balance payable according to your booking agreement. Bookings made within 21 days of travel generally require a 40% initial deposit. Cancellation terms depend on the notice period and applicable supplier conditions.
