This is a wonderful 6-day road safari to Tanzania’s northern safari circuit – walk with Bushmen Hadzabe, San tribe in Lake Eyasi, and go game viewing in the world-renowned Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, and the lesser-known Tarangire National Park.

Our safari adventure begins in Arusha, where we pick you from your hotel and travel to our first game viewing destination, Tarangire National Park, known for its big herds of elephants. We explore the game park in a customized 4×4 safari vehicle with a pop-up roof for maximum visibility.

Tarangire hosts an array of wild animals, including lions and buffalos, as well as various antelopes, wildebeest, giraffes, and zebras. The national park covers some 2600km² of wilderness, characterized by undulating plains dotted with baobab and acacia trees.

On day two, our safari continues by road to the Serengeti National Park. This is one of the best safari destinations in the world, rivaling Kenya’s Masai Mara. The Serengeti is known for its impressive population of wildlife—most notably the Big 5. 

We spend the whole of day three exploring the Serengeti National Park.  The park’s main attraction is the Great Migration, consisting of up to 2 million wildebeest, 200,000 zebras, and 350,000 Thompson, impala, and grant’s gazelles – many consider it to be the most spectacular remaining African wildlife spectacle.

The predator viewing here is exceptional with approximately 3-4,000 lions and huge numbers of cheetah, leopard, and hyena. Other animals commonly found in the park include topi, eland, hartebeest, buffalo, elephant, caracal, serval, bat-eared fox, hyrax, genet, hares, porcupine, aardvark, giraffe, jackal, mongoose, crocodile, monitor lizard, aardwolf, many kinds of primates including baboons, vervet and colobus monkeys, and over 500 species of bird. 

On Day four, we take a game drive through Serengeti Park on our way out of the national park, stopping for lunch as we go. Keep your eyes open for wildlife, especially in the early morning hours when animals and birds are more active. Next, we visit the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, home to one of the highest concentrations of wildlife in Africa.

On day five of our safari, we descend the steep crater walls to explore this wilderness teeming with wildlife. The Big 5 may be found at Ngorongoro Crater and it boasts one of the highest concentrations of lions in the world.

A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Ngorongoro is a huge caldera 18 km in diameter with walls as high as 600 meters. The fertile crater supports a variety of wildlife, including elephants, monkeys, hyenas, jackals, and herds of zebra, wildebeest, buffalo, and other antelope species, in diverse habitats.

We picnic in the crater and after an exciting day of game viewing, we leave the Ngorongoro Crater Conservation area and transfer to Lake Eyasi, located in the immediate southwest of Ngorongoro Crater in the Crater Highlands area of Tanzania.

Day six begins early where we go hunting with the Hadzabe bushmen to see their astonishing ability to track and hunt small game! The Hadza are Africa’s last remaining hunter-gatherers.

After your amazing cultural experience, you travel through some amazing Tanzanian landscapes as you return to Arusha where our memorable, 6 Day Tanzania Safari Tarangire Serengeti Ngorongoro Hadzabe Bushmen ends.

The Ngorongoro Crater is renowned for its high concentration of animals, with most wildlife species represented here. Due to the high density of animal populations, we are likely to see an excellent array of animals in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.
