5-Day Fly-In Tanzania Safari: Serengeti, Ngorongoro & Tarangire from Dar es Salaam
Experience on a 5-Day Fly-In Tanzania Safari and experience the magic of Tanzania’s most iconic national parks in style and comfort. This expertly crafted itinerary takes you from Dar es Salaam straight into the heart of the Central Serengeti, where you’ll enjoy thrilling game drives surrounded by the vast savannah and abundant wildlife. The journey continues through the stunning Ngorongoro Crater and the elephant-rich landscapes of Tarangire National Park, all while staying at handpicked camps and lodges that offer a perfect balance of authenticity and luxury.
Your adventure begins with a spectacular flight from Dar es Salaam directly into the heart of the Central Serengeti. Upon arrival at the Seronera Airstrip, your safari guide will warmly welcome you and begin your first game drive through one of the world’s most iconic wildlife areas. The Central Serengeti is famed for its abundance of predators, open savannahs, and year-round game viewing opportunities. You’ll settle into the serene wilderness of the Baobab Serengeti Camp, where you can unwind with views over the plains and enjoy a classic safari-style bush dinner under the stars.
Spend the full day on safari across the eastern and western corridors of the Serengeti ecosystem, known for large lion prides, massive herds of wildebeest, and rich landscapes that shift from wide grasslands to acacia-dotted terrain. Your experienced guide will tailor the day’s game drives based on seasonal wildlife movements and your specific interests. Return to Baobab Serengeti Camp in the evening for a peaceful overnight in the heart of the bush.
After breakfast and a sunrise game drive, you’ll leave Serengeti behind and head toward the majestic Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Along the way, enjoy scenic stops and possible encounters with Maasai herders and their cattle grazing along the crater rim. Arrive in time for lunch and relaxation at Ang'ata Ngorongoro Camp, ideally located near the crater edge. As evening sets in, prepare for the awe-inspiring experience that awaits you in the Ngorongoro Crater the following morning.
Descend into the Ngorongoro Crater at dawn, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a natural wildlife sanctuary home to the Big Five and rare species like the black rhino. After a rewarding half-day game drive inside the crater, your journey continues toward Tarangire National Park, Tanzania’s hidden gem. Known for its ancient baobabs and large elephant populations, Tarangire offers a rich safari experience without the crowds. Arrive at Tarangire Osupuko Lodge, where you’ll enjoy a peaceful evening overlooking the savannah.
On your final day, set out on one last morning game drive in Tarangire National Park. Watch as the landscape comes alive with early morning activity—elephants at the river, giraffes browsing the treetops, and lions on the prowl. Later, enjoy a comfortable transfer back to Arusha Airport or Kilimanjaro International Airport, marking the end of your unforgettable 5-Day Northern Tanzania Fly-In Safari.
