5 days Tanzania Safari
This active five-day route is for guests who want four major northern parks in one compact safari. It combines Tarangire's elephant and baobab country, Lake Manyara's forest and lake-edge habitats, Serengeti's plains and Ngorongoro's crater floor. The pace is faster than our classic five-day safari, so it suits travelers comfortable with early starts and a longer transfer on Day 2.
