Explore Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro on a 6-day Tanzania safari from Arusha with elephants, predators, Big Five opportunities and full-day game drives.
Tarangire Elephants, Serengeti Predators & Ngorongoro Crater Wildlife
Experience Tanzania’s Northern Circuit on a 6-day Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire safari combining three iconic wildlife destinations in one carefully paced itinerary.
Starting and ending in Arusha, this Tanzania safari takes you from the elephant-rich landscapes of Tarangire National Park to the open plains of the Serengeti, before finishing with a crater safari in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.
The six-day itinerary allows more time for game drives than a short Northern Circuit safari, with a full day in Tarangire, a full day in the Serengeti and an early crater safari before returning to Arusha.
You may encounter elephants, lions, cheetahs, leopards, buffalo, rhinos, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest and numerous bird species. Wildlife sightings vary by season, location and daily conditions, so your safari guide will adjust game-drive routes according to recent sightings, water sources and wildlife activity.
