5 Days of Luxury Wildlife Encounters

Serengeti Plains | Ngorongoro Wildlife | Luxury Lodges | Small Groups

This is safari perfected - five glorious days combining Tanzania's most thrilling wildlife encounters with the comfort of premium lodges. Wake to lions roaring in the distance, spend your days tracking the Big Five with our expert guides, then retreat to your luxury lodge where cold drinks and comfortable beds await.

Your adventure begins in the Serengeti's endless golden plains, where we'll spend three full days immersed in wildlife dramas. Watch predators stalk their prey, massive elephant herds moving like shadows across the plains, and the Great Migration's endless columns (seasonal). Each evening, your comfortable lodge awaits - with hot showers, gourmet meals, and stories shared around the fire.

The climax comes when we descend into Ngorongoro's legendary crater, a natural wildlife arena where you'll spot everything from black rhinos to pink flamingo carpets. This is Africa at its most spectacular, served with all the comforts that make safari truly magical.

Your 5-Day Luxury Safari Breakdown

Day 1: Arusha to Serengeti - Into the Wild

We depart at dawn, winding our way to the Serengeti with game viewing en route. After lunch at Naabi Hill, we dive into afternoon game drives across the endless plains. As the golden light fades, we arrive at Serengeti Tortilis Camp where cool drinks and comfortable beds await. Tonight you'll drift off to the sounds of the African bush from your luxury tent.

Day 2-3: Serengeti Immersion

Two full days to explore the Serengeti's magic. Dawn game drives catch predators at their most active, while afternoon explorations reveal elephants at watering holes and cheetahs scanning the plains. Between game drives, relax at camp with poolside lunches and sunset cocktails. Evenings feature gourmet bush dinners under the stars. Overnights at Serengeti Tortilis Camp.

Day 4: To Ngorongoro's Edge

Morning game drive through the Serengeti before heading toward Ngorongoro. Stop at Olduvai Gorge to walk in the footsteps of early humans. Arrive at Ngorongoro Rhino Lodge in time for sundowners with crater views that'll steal your breath. Tonight's lodge dinner will be your most memorable yet.

Day 5: Ngorongoro Crater - Wildlife Grand Finale

Descend into the crater at first light for a wildlife spectacle unlike any other. This natural arena packs in more animals per square mile than anywhere in Africa. After an action-packed morning, we'll climb back out and make for Arusha, arriving by late afternoon with memories (and camera rolls) full of wild wonders.
