5 DAYS SHARING TANZANIA SAFARI – TARANGIRE- SERENGETI – NGORONGORO AND LAKE MANYARA NATIONAL PARK

A 5-day Tanzania safari group sharing is an incredible way to experience the stunning wildlife and breathtaking landscapes of East Africa. By joining a group, you can reduce costs while still enjoying all the benefits of a fully guided safari. Over the course of five days, you will travel through some of Tanzania’s most iconic national parks, including Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara, witnessing the incredible diversity of wildlife, from large herds of elephants to the Big Five.

This safari itinerary is perfect for travelers seeking adventure, culture, and natural beauty, all while staying within a budget. Let’s dive into what each day offers as you explore Tanzania’s wildlife havens in the company of like-minded travelers.


Day 0: Arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport

Your Tanzanian adventure begins with your arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport. Upon landing, you will be greeted by a professional driver who will transfer you to your hotel in Moshi. Depending on your arrival time, you can take a short taxi ride into the town of Moshi to explore the local markets, cafes, and shops. Moshi is the gateway to Mount Kilimanjaro and offers stunning views of the mountain on a clear day.

In the evening, you’ll meet your safari guide, who will provide an overview of the days ahead and make sure you’re fully prepared for the journey.

Day 1: Exploring Tarangire National Park

After an early breakfast, your safari guide will pick you up from your hotel in Moshi or Arusha. You’ll head toward Tarangire National Park, a park known for its ancient baobab trees and vast elephant herds. Tarangire is often referred to as the “Elephant Playground” due to its large population of elephants, some of which roam in groups of up to 300.

Wildlife Highlights in Tarangire

As you drive through the park, you’ll see zebras, wildebeests, and buffaloes grazing on the savannah plains, with predators like lions not far behind. Keep your eyes peeled for giraffes, impalas, bushbucks, and even the elusive leopards, who are occasionally spotted lounging in the trees. You’ll also see plenty of birdlife, including kori bustards, vultures, and colorful lilac-breasted rollers.

In the late afternoon, you’ll head to Kizumba or Sunbright Campsite, where you’ll relax and enjoy a hearty meal after your exciting day of wildlife viewing.

Day 2: Journey to Serengeti National Park

After breakfast, you’ll continue your journey, passing through the scenic Ngorongoro Conservation Area on your way to the Serengeti National Park. Along the way, you’ll pass through the fertile highlands where the Iraqw people grow wheat, coffee, and corn. As you drive through the Ngorongoro Crater Highlands, you’ll be treated to panoramic views of the vast plains below.

By midday, you’ll arrive in Serengeti National Park, the crown jewel of Tanzania’s safari parks. Known for its expansive grasslands and diverse wildlife, the Serengeti is home to the Great Migration—an annual event where millions of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles traverse the plains in search of fresh grazing grounds.

Exploring the Seronera Area

You’ll spend the afternoon exploring the Seronera area in central Serengeti, one of the park’s most wildlife-rich regions. The Seronera River provides a critical water source, attracting animals such as lions, leopards, cheetahs, and elephants. In the dry season, large predators like lions are easily spotted lounging in the shade, while giraffes gracefully move through the landscape.

At night, you’ll camp in the Seronera area, falling asleep to the sounds of the Serengeti’s nocturnal wildlife.

Day 3: Full Day in Serengeti National Park

Your third day is dedicated to a full-day exploration of Serengeti National Park. The Serengeti is home to an astounding variety of wildlife, and your guide will take you through different areas to maximize your wildlife viewing opportunities.

Game Drives in Serengeti

In addition to large predators like lions, cheetahs, and leopards, you’ll encounter herds of elephants, hippos wallowing in rivers, and crocodiles basking on the banks. You’ll have the chance to observe the iconic wildebeest migration (if visiting during the migration season), where thousands of animals move across the plains. You might also spot smaller species such as jackals, hyenas, and a variety of antelope species.

Enjoy a packed lunch in the park, followed by another game drive in the afternoon. After a long and thrilling day, you’ll return to your campsite for dinner and rest.

Day 4: Ngorongoro Crater Exploration

After breakfast, you’ll leave the Serengeti and make your way to Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the best places to spot wildlife in Africa. The crater is a massive volcanic caldera, measuring 20 kilometers across and 600 meters deep.

Wildlife in Ngorongoro

Descending into the crater, you’ll see a variety of animals, including zebras, wildebeests, gazelles, and warthogs, grazing on the crater floor. The Ngorongoro Crater is one of the few places in Tanzania where you can spot the critically endangered black rhinoceros. You’ll also have the opportunity to tick off the Big Five—lions, leopards, elephants, buffaloes, and rhinos.

In addition to large mammals, the crater is home to vibrant birdlife, with over 500 species including flamingos, eagles, and ostriches. After a picnic lunch, you’ll ascend the crater and travel to Mto Wa Mbu, where you’ll spend the night at Kizumba Campsite.

Day 5: Lake Manyara National Park and Return to Arusha

On your final day, you’ll visit Lake Manyara National Park, a small but ecologically diverse park located at the base of the Great Rift Valley escarpment. Lake Manyara is famous for its tree-climbing lions and is a haven for birdwatchers, with over 400 bird species including flamingos, pelicans, and storks.

Wildlife in Lake Manyara

In addition to its birdlife, Lake Manyara is home to many mammals, such as elephants, buffaloes, zebras, and giraffes. The park’s dense forest is home to troops of baboons and blue monkeys, while the open plains attract grazers like impalas and wildebeests.

After a final game drive, you’ll head back to Arusha, arriving in the late afternoon. This marks the end of your incredible 5-day group safari, filled with memorable wildlife sightings and stunning landscapes.
