6 Days Tanzania Safari
Day 1: Arrival in Arusha – Welcome to Tanzania
Upon arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport, you’ll be warmly welcomed by your Ikola Safari guide and transferred to your hotel in Arusha. This vibrant town is the gateway to the northern safari circuit. After check-in, relax and recover from your journey, or enjoy a short city tour if time allows. In the evening, your guide will brief you on the safari ahead. Dinner and overnight at a comfortable lodge in Arusha.
Day 2: Arusha to Tarangire National Park – Land of Giants
After breakfast, depart for Tarangire National Park, a two-hour drive from Arusha. Known for its large elephant herds and towering baobab trees, Tarangire offers excellent game viewing, especially during the dry season when animals gather around the Tarangire River. Enjoy a full-day game drive with a picnic lunch in the park. In the late afternoon, head to your lodge or tented camp for dinner and overnight, surrounded by the sounds of the wild.
Day 3: Tarangire to Serengeti – Into the Wild
After an early breakfast, begin your scenic drive to Serengeti National Park, passing through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. The drive offers stunning views and wildlife sightings along the way. Arrive in Serengeti by early afternoon and enjoy a game drive en route to your lodge or camp. The Serengeti’s vast open plains are home to the Big Five and, depending on the season, the Great Migration. Enjoy dinner and an overnight stay in the heart of the Serengeti.
Day 4: Full Day in Serengeti – Safari at Its Best
Spend a full day exploring the world-famous Serengeti. Begin with an optional early morning game drive to witness the golden sunrise and active predators. After breakfast, continue your exploration, searching for lions, cheetahs, leopards, elephants, and more. Depending on the time of year, you may witness the awe-inspiring movement of thousands of wildebeest and zebras during the Great Migration. Enjoy a picnic lunch and continue game viewing until sunset. Return to camp for dinner and relaxation.
Day 5: Serengeti to Ngorongoro Crater – Nature’s Masterpiece
After breakfast, enjoy a final morning game drive in the Serengeti before heading to Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Stop at a Maasai village (optional) to learn about the local culture and traditions. Arrive at your lodge on the crater rim in time for dinner. The views from the rim are spectacular, and the anticipation builds for tomorrow’s descent into the crater. Overnight stay near the crater.
Day 6: Ngorongoro Crater Safari & Return to Arusha
Rise early for a half-day game drive in Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Africa’s most remarkable ecosystems. The crater floor is teeming with wildlife including rhinos, lions, elephants, hippos, and countless bird species. Enjoy a picnic lunch by a hippo pool before ascending the crater walls and beginning your return journey to Arusha. Arrive in the late afternoon for drop-off at your hotel or airport, marking the end of an incredible safari adventure.
