Tarangire, Serengeti & Ngorongoro: 5-Day Camping Safari & Maasai VisitYou’ll wake up to cold Serengeti mornings and fall asleep listening to distant animal calls under canvas skies. Watch wildebeest herds thunder past your jeep, sip hot tea at sunrise, stand on Ngorongoro’s rim feeling impossibly small, then swap stories with Maasai locals as dusk falls. It’s not always comfortable — but you’ll carry these moments home.
7-day Tanzania Safari: Serengeti & Ngorongoro Wildlife TourA 7-day guided safari tour from Moshi covering Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara National Parks, with hotel pickup, an English-speaking guide, air-conditioned vehicle transport, all meals and park admission included. The itinerary moves through four distinct ecosystems in sequence, so you see elephants and baobabs in Tarangire, predators on the Serengeti plains, the crater's 25,000 grazers and carnivores, and tree-climbing lions at Lake Manyara before returning to Moshi. Overnight stays are at campsites or lodges; the route is suitable for all fitness levels and accessible to wheelchair users.Is it for me?Choose this 7-day route if you're arriving in Moshi and want to visit all four major parks in sequence—each day's drive connects directly to the next park, so you move through them back-to-back rather than looping or backtracking.
Tanzania Safari: Lake Manyara, Serengeti & Ngorongoro TourA five-day safari from Arusha through Tanzania's four most visited parks — Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire — with a professional driver-guide, 4x4 Land Cruiser, meals, park fees and daily game drives included. The tour runs the same itinerary every departure; your guide speaks English, Spanish, Italian, French or another language you can request at booking.Is it for me?If your guide speaks one of the five languages offered — English, Spanish, Italian, French or another — you can follow the commentary throughout the five days without translation. The same driver leads the entire tour, so the wildlife knowledge builds as the parks change.
Serengeti & Ngorongoro: 4-day safari with guide & lodgesOn this four-day journey from Arusha through Tarangire’s elephant country to Serengeti’s endless plains and down into Ngorongoro Crater, you’ll share stories with local guides, spot wildlife up close, and sleep under African skies. With every sunrise game drive and quiet moment by the fire, you’ll collect memories that stick long after you’ve left Tanzania behind.
Group safari from Moshi: 4 days, three parksYou travel by 4WD Land Cruiser through Lake Manyara, the Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater over four days with an English-speaking guide.

The pace is steady — early starts, long drives between parks, game drives at each stop — and the group stays small. Book this if you want the main parks without arranging transport, meals, or timing yourself, and you're comfortable with basic accommodation and moving every night.Is it for me?Book this if you want to see the main three parks without arranging transport, meals, or timing yourself — the fixed itinerary and included accommodation mean you show up in Moshi and the rest is organized. The trade-off is basic campsites and early starts, which is exactly what keeps the cost down and the group small.

The Ngorongoro Crater alone, with 20,000 animals in a contained space, is worth the trip.Is it for me?A good fit if you want to see the Big Five and the Ngorongoro Crater without arranging transport, park permits or daily logistics yourself — the five-day structure is what makes visiting three major parks and staying in lodges on the crater rim possible in one trip.
