5-Day Tanzania Wildlife & Nature Journey

Whether you are preparing to conquer Mount Kilimanjaro or planning a relaxing stay in Zanzibar, adding a northern Tanzania safari is a wonderful way to complete your holiday. With your own private guide, you will visit three remarkable destinations: Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara National Park, and the Ngorongoro Crater.

Your adventure includes a visit to the spectacular Ngorongoro Crater, one of Tanzaniaโ€™s most remarkable wildlife destinations. The crater supports an impressive variety of animals, including opportunities to encounter the famous Big Five. You will also explore Lake Manyara National Park, a scenic destination featuring a beautiful soda lake, large numbers of flamingos, and excellent opportunities for birdwatching.

The journey continues to Tarangire National Park, renowned for its impressive elephant populations and dramatic landscapes. Giant baobab trees, rolling hills, and expansive savannah create a spectacular setting for wildlife viewing and photography.

Because this is a private safari, you can enjoy the journey according to your preferred pace and interests. A private safari vehicle and experienced guide will accompany you throughout the trip, giving you a more comfortable and personalized experience.

The best time to visit Tanzania depends on what you want to experience. For a wildlife safari with Nabaki Safaris, June to October is generally the best time because the weather is drier and animals are often easier to spot. Tanzania is also a wonderful destination from January to March, especially for wildebeest calving in the southern Serengeti.

Day 2 Tarangire National Park

Tarangire National Park is well known for its big groups of elephants and the huge amount of giant baobab trees. These trees can live for hundreds of years and are actually a source of water for elephants in the dry season as they have a special technique to draw water from them. Besides, the Tarangire River is the only source of water in the dry season, which is why in this season in Tarangire you can see groups of up to 250 elephants next to many more animals!ย Watch the video of the parkย
