Embark on a 5-day group and camping safari in Tanzania. Spend a day in Tarangire, 3 days in Serengeti, and a day in Ngorongoro Crater. Enjoy game drives, and see lions, leopards, and antelopes.

Day 1: Arusha- Tarangiree National Park-Mto wa Mbuu
In the morning, be picked up from your hotel to start your safari to the Tarangire National Park. See elephants, Masai giraffes, various gazelles, antelopes, buffaloes, lions, leopards, baboons, and more than 500 types of birds.
After the game drive, leave the park in the late afternoon and drive to the Fanaka/ Kizumba / Fig Tree campsite for your overnight stay.

Day 2: Mto wa Mbuu- Serengeti National Park
Travel from the Tarangire Area to the lush highlands where crops such as wheat, corn, and coffee are grown. Travel through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Stop for a breathtaking view over the Ngorongoro Crater before you continue to the Serengeti National Park.
Arrive in the Seronera Valley for an evening meal and overnight stay at Tumbili public campsite.

Day 3: Serengeti National Park
Spend the whole day on a game drive in the Serengeti National Park and have lunch at a picnic spot en-route. Depending upon the time of year, you might even have the chance to witness the great migration with hundred thousand of wildebeests, zebras, and Thompson gazelles.
After the great rainy season in April, May, and June, the herds slowly travel back through the western and north-western part of the Serengeti. Spend your night at Tumbili Public campsite.

Day 4: Serengeti National Park-Ngorongoro conservation Area
Be up early to join an early morning game drive. Return to the camp for breakfast before heading out for another game drive in the park. Here in the Seronera region, you will often see wildebeests and zebras in close proximity of lions and other predators such as leopards and cheetahs.

After a picnic lunch, continue your journey towards the Ngorongoro conservation for overnight at Simba Campsite.

Day 5: Ngorongoro Crater- Arusha /Airport
After an early breakfast, drive down the steep and narrow road that takes you into the crater. The slopes are forested but soon the landscape changes to savannah. Here the wildlife is just breath-taking and with a little luck you can observe the Big Five – lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino, and leopard – in just a few hours.
Also see warthogs, wildebeests, zebras, hippos, and some of the more than 500 bird species of the area. After a morning dedicated to game viewing and a picnic lunch, leave the crater in the early afternoon to drive back to your Hotel in Arusha, where you will arrive in the early evening. Transfer to the Arusha airport in case of today's late flight.
