5 Days Ngorongoro Crater & Serengeti Safari

Overview:

Join Impala Explorer for an unforgettable 5-day Tanzania safari combining the spectacular wildlife of the Serengeti National Park and the breathtaking beauty of the Ngorongoro Crater. This adventure is perfect for travelers who want to witness Africa’s Big Five, enjoy world-class game drives, and experience the magic of Tanzania’s most iconic destinations.

Day 1: Arrival in Arusha – Safari Briefing with Impala Explorer

Your Impala Explorer journey begins as soon as you land at Kilimanjaro International Airport. Our friendly driver-guide will meet you, transfer you to your hotel in Arusha, and give you a detailed briefing about your safari. Depending on your arrival time, you can explore Arusha town or relax at your lodge before the adventure begins.

Day 2: Arusha to Serengeti National Park – The Endless Plains with Impala Explorer

After breakfast, Impala Explorer will take you on a scenic drive through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area to the vast Serengeti National Park. Along the way, enjoy game drives spotting zebras, giraffes, and antelopes. Arrive in the Serengeti in time for an afternoon safari across the golden plains, famous for large predator populations and, seasonally, the Great Wildebeest Migration.

Day 3: Serengeti National Park – Full-Day Game Viewing with Impala Explorer

Spend the entire day exploring the Serengeti with Impala Explorer. Start with a sunrise game drive when wildlife is most active, followed by a bush breakfast or return to camp. Continue to explore the park’s diverse habitats, spotting lions, cheetahs, elephants, buffalo, and hundreds of bird species. If you travel during migration season, you may witness thousands of wildebeest and zebras moving in unison.

Day 4: Serengeti to Ngorongoro Crater – Wildlife Heaven with Impala Explorer

Early morning game drive in the Serengeti before departing for the Ngorongoro Conservation Area with Impala Explorer. Upon arrival, descend into the Ngorongoro Crater — a UNESCO World Heritage Site — for an unforgettable safari experience. The crater floor is home to the densest population of wildlife in Africa, including the Big Five and the rare black rhino. Enjoy a picnic lunch beside the hippo pool before continuing your game drive and later heading to your lodge on the crater rim.

Day 5: Ngorongoro Crater to Arusha – Farewell from Impala Explorer

After breakfast, take in the last views of the Ngorongoro highlands before driving back to Arusha with Impala Explorer. Depending on your schedule, enjoy some last-minute shopping in Arusha or head straight to Kilimanjaro International Airport for your flight home, marking the end of your incredible Tanzania safari.
