Why Choose This 5 Days Luxury Safari Package

Many people ask whether 4 or 5 days is better. The extra day in this itinerary gives you more breathing room, especially in the Serengeti, where wildlife is spread across a huge area. You get two full days there instead of one, which increases your chances of meaningful sightings and relaxed game viewing.

You travel exclusively in a private luxury 4x4 safari vehicle with an experienced English-speaking guide. This means you decide how long to stay at each sighting. Your guide will also share knowledge about the animals, birds, and ecosystem in a natural, conversational way.

The lodges have been selected for both comfort and strategic location: Lemala Tarangire, &Beyond in the Serengeti, and Lemala Ngorongoro. Each property offers high standards of service, excellent food, and beautiful views, so you return from every game drive to a peaceful and luxurious environment.

5 Days Luxury Safari Itinerary – Day by Day

Here is exactly how your 5 days will flow so you know what to expect:

Day 1: Arusha → Tarangire National Park

Your professional guide will pick you up from your hotel in Arusha in the morning. The drive to Tarangire takes about 2 hours. Upon arrival, you enjoy a game drive en route to your lodge. Tarangire is famous for its large herds of elephants and the ancient baobab trees that dominate the landscape. You check into Lemala Tarangire Lodge, enjoy lunch, and then head out for an afternoon game drive. Many guests see lions, buffalo, and a variety of plains game on this first day.

Day 2: Tarangire → Serengeti National Park

After breakfast and a short morning game drive in Tarangire, you begin the scenic drive to the Serengeti. The journey itself is part of the adventure as the landscape changes dramatically. You arrive at your &Beyond camp in the Serengeti in the afternoon. After checking in and having lunch, you go on an evening game drive to explore the surrounding plains.

Day 3: Full Day Serengeti Exploration

You spend the entire day in the Serengeti with your private guide. You can start early to catch the morning light and animal activity. Your guide will take you to the best areas depending on the season and recent wildlife movements. You return to camp for lunch and a short rest before heading out again in the afternoon. This full day gives you time to search for big cats, watch herds of wildebeest and zebra, and enjoy the vast open landscape.

Day 4: Serengeti → Ngorongoro Crater

After breakfast, you enjoy one final morning game drive in the Serengeti before driving toward the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. You ascend the crater rim and check into Lemala Ngorongoro Lodge, which offers spectacular views over the crater. In the afternoon you can relax at the lodge or do a short crater rim walk with your guide.

Day 5: Ngorongoro Crater Game Drive → Return to Arusha

You start very early and descend into the Ngorongoro Crater floor for a full morning game drive. The crater offers one of the highest concentrations of wildlife in Africa. You have a very good chance of seeing the Big Five here. A picnic lunch is served inside the crater. In the early afternoon you ascend and begin your drive back to Arusha, where you will arrive in the evening.
