Is 5 days enough for a safari in Tanzania?

Five days is generally considered an ideal duration for a safari in Tanzania, especially if you visit two or three major national parks such as the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire. It provides enough time to experience the country’s wildlife and landscapes without feeling rushed. However, if you want a more relaxed experience or plan to visit additional parks, extending your trip to 6-7 days can enhance your experience.

Is 5 days enough in Tanzania?

While 5 days can be sufficient for a safari, if you want to explore more of Tanzania beyond the national parks (such as Zanzibar or Mount Kilimanjaro), you may need additional time. However, for a wildlife-focused trip, 5 days will give you a solid overview of Tanzania’s iconic landscapes and animals.

Day 1: Arusha – Tarangire national park - Karatu

arangiDistance: 140 km

In the morning you will be picked up from your hotel to start your safari to the Tarangire National Park. Bush savannah, seasonal swamps and giant baobab trees make up the landscape of this nature reserve and the park is probably one of the best places in East Africa to see elephants. Not only they are found in thousands but also they seem to be more accustomed to the vehicles, and for this you can be closer to these gigantic animals. It is not only the elephants rather a varied numbers of animals such as to Masai giraffes, various gazelles, antelopes, buffaloes, lions, leopards, baboons and more than 500 types of birds make this the one stop solution for both the bird and the animal lovers. After the game drive you will leave the park in the late afternoon and drive to the lodge for your overnight stay.

Overnight at Marera Valley Lodge
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner Included

Day 2: Karatu - Serengeti National Park

reDistance: 205km

After breakfast we head towards the Serengeti National Park, via the beautiful high lying farmland of Karatu and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Leaving the highlands behind, we descend into the heart of wild Africa – the Serengeti National Park – with its endless plains, rolling into the distance as far as the eye can see. We head to the central park area, known as the Seronera area, one of the richest wildlife habitats in the park, featuring the Seronera River, which provides a valuable water source to this area and therefore attracts wildlife well representative of most of the Serengeti’s species. We arrive in time for lunch and enjoy an afternoon game drive in the Serengeti national park.

After your tour around the park, you will be transferred to your lodge where you will be spending the night.

Overnight at Embalakai Tented Camp
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner Included

Day 3: Serengeti National Park

Following breakfast, you will spend the whole day on a game drive in the Serengeti National Park and have lunch at a picnic spot en-route. Depending upon the time of year, you might even have the chance to witness the great migration with hundred thousands of wildebeests, zebras and Thompson gazelles. During the small rainy season in October and November, you will typically see these herds moving from the Kenyan Masai Mara through the northwest of the Serengeti to the plains in the south.

After the great rainy season in April, May and June, the herds slowly travel back through the western and north-western part of the Serengeti. With fluctuations in rainfall, this timetable can of course change, resulting in the animals migrating during different times and routes. Your guide will try his outmost to find the animals and will make sure that you can see them from the best spot in the national park. Naturally, the migration also attracts predators and with luck you might see a kill in action. You will spend your night at the same lodge.

Overnight at Embalakai Tented Camp
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner Included

Day 4: Serengeti National Park - Ngorongoro Conservation Area

Distance: 145 km

Dawn is a good time to watch wildlife and so you will be up early to join an early morning game drive. You will return to the camp for breakfast before heading out for another game drive in the park. Here in the Seronera region you will often see wildebeests and zebras in close proximity of lions and other predators such as leopards and cheetahs. After a picnic lunch you will continue your journey towards the Ngorongoro conservation for overnight.

Overnight at Rhino Lodge
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner Included

Day 5: Ngorongoro crater – Moshi/Airport

Distance: 273 km

After an early breakfast you will drive down the steep and narrow road that takes you into the crater. The slopes are forested but soon the landscape changes to savannah. Here the wildlife is just breath-taking and with a little luck you can observe the Big Five – lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino and leopard – in just a few hours. You should also see warthogs, wildebeests, zebras, hippos and some of the more than 500 bird species of the area. After a morning dedicated to game viewing and a picnic lunch, you will leave the crater in the early afternoon to drive back to Moshi, where you will arrive in the early evening.
