6 Day Luxury Tanzania Safari Highlights

The highlights of this medium length safari in Tanzania is the best park in Africa; the Serengeti National Park. Having voted as the best park in Africa across multiple awards, the Serengeti National Park features endless savannah plains where thousands of animals call home. Big and small game roam this vast wilderness spanning over 14,743 Km square, a truly legendary wildlife safari destination in Africa.

Serengeti National Park is a Big five destination so apart from many animals and birds, you may be luck to spot all the BIg Five of Africa; Elephants, Lions, Buffaloes, Leopards and Rhinos. Serengeti is also where the wildebeests herds of the famous Great Migration spend most of their time, migrating to Kenya only between August and October.

Apart from the Serengeti, you will visit the Ngorongoro Crater which is one of the few UNESCO world heritage sites. The Ngorongoro is also one f the world biosphere reserves, and recently the first geopark in East Africa was created within the Ngorongoro Conservation Area (NCA).

Best time for the 6 Days Luxury safari in Tanzania

This is a safari package that you can take any time of the year but the best time to take this luxury safari in Tanzania is during the drier months between June and October but also January to March. The other good time to visit is November to December when the parks are green and beautiful but also temperatures are cooler.

April & May are the long rains season and it is always good to avoid this time if you can, but if you want to enjoy the luxury accommodations and the luxury safari experience at a discount price, then this is the best time to visit. The lodges offer Green Season rates during the months Of April & May.

Day 2&3

Explore the Legendary at Serengeti!.

On this second day of your safari adventure in Tanzania, you have an option to wake up early for a sunrise safari if you don’t mind waking up early. The early morning safari game drive offers unique opportunity to spot a few nocturnal species retiring from a night hunting outing, but also the animals tend to be more active during this time before the sun is hot.

You may also choose to wake up for a hearty breakfast in the morning then leave the camp with a lunch box in order to spend the whole day out there in the wilderness searching for animals.

The over 14,000 Kilometers square of wilderness makes Serengeti one of the best wildlife safari destinations in the world. The Serengeti is home to the wildebeests migration, the big cats; Lions, leopards and Cheetahs but also the Big 5 of Africa. With a little bit of luck you may spot the lions, elephants, buffaloes, Rhinos, leopards, zebras, giraffes, impalas, gazelles, topis, hartebeests, jackals, hyenas. The list is endless! Serengeti is also a birders haven with more than 500 bird species recorded, both migratory and non-migratory alike.

You will spend these two days doing safari game drives at your own pace as the safari is a private tour and therefore very flexible. Please make sure that you discuss the next day’s schedule with your professional safari guide in the evening.

Day 5

6 Days Luxury Tanzania Safari - Ngorongoro Crater safari.

Early morning breakfast this morning or depart with picnic breakfast so as to descend as early as possible to the Ngorongoro Crater’s floor.

Once at the Crater floor you will start your full day of wildlife safari game drives that will go on until time for the picnic lunch at the hippo pool side picnic site.

Ngorongoro Crater is often referred as the garden of Eden because of its abundance of animals and birds which can be spotted easily and a very close range.

It is estimated that the Ngorongoro Crater floor is home to over 30.000 animals, large and small game alike. The Lake Makat at the middle of the lake ensures that there is constant water supply within the Ngorongoro Crater and the lakeside makes a great game viewing region in the Ngorongoro Crater. Later in the afternoon you will be taken back to your lodge / camp for relaxation and inner and overnight.

Accommodation is at the Ngorongoro Serena Lodge. All meals included.
