Day 1: Arrival and Transfer to Tarangire National Park

Your adventure begins in Arusha, where our friendly guide will meet you and give a short briefing. From there, you'll head to Tarangire National Park—known for its giant baobab trees and large elephant herds. Enjoy a half-day game drive through the park, where you may also spot lions, zebras, giraffes, and wildebeests. In the evening, settle into a budget-friendly safari camp and enjoy dinner under the stars.

Day 2: Lake Manyara National Park Exploration

After breakfast, depart for Lake Manyara National Park, a scenic and compact reserve famous for its diverse birdlife, flamingos, and tree-climbing lions. Drive through dense forests and open plains as you seek out elephants, hippos, monkeys, and more. A picnic lunch will be served inside the park. In the evening, return to your camp or lodge located near the park for a warm meal and rest.

Day 3: Serengeti National Park – Journey into the Wild

On day three of your 5-Day Tanzania Budget Safari Tour, head toward the world-renowned Serengeti National Park. The drive itself offers opportunities to spot wildlife along the way. Once inside the Serengeti, enjoy an afternoon game drive across vast plains filled with migrating herds, big cats, and scavenging hyenas. Stay overnight at a public campsite or budget tented camp right inside the park, surrounded by the sounds of nature.

Day 4: Serengeti Morning Game Drive and Ngorongoro Highlands

Wake up early for a sunrise game drive in the Serengeti, when wildlife is most active. Watch as lions hunt, gazelles graze, and birds take flight. After breakfast, begin your journey toward the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, stopping for wildlife sightings along the way. You’ll camp or lodge on the crater rim, offering stunning views and cool evening breezes as you prepare for one of Africa’s top safari experiences.

Day 5: Ngorongoro Crater Safari and Return to Arusha

Today is the grand finale of your 5-Day Tanzania Budget Safari Tour. After an early breakfast, descend into the Ngorongoro Crater—a UNESCO World Heritage Site and home to Africa’s densest population of wildlife. Spot the Big Five (lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino, leopard) and enjoy a picnic lunch beside a hippo pool. After the game drive, return to Arusha, arriving in the late afternoon. End of tour.

Best Time to Take a 5-Day Tanzania Budget Safari Tour

While Tanzania is a year-round destination, the best wildlife viewing generally happens during the dry season (June to October) when animals gather around water sources. However, the green season (November to May) offers lush landscapes, fewer crowds, and excellent birding opportunities—all ideal for budget travelers.
