5-day safari — FAQ

Is 5 days enough for a Tanzania safari?
Five days is ideal — it covers Tarangire, Lake Manyara, the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater at a relaxed pace, with more time to track the migration and big cats than a 3-day trip.
What does a 5-day Arusha safari include?
A 5-day northern-circuit safari includes game drives in Tarangire, Manyara, the Serengeti and Ngorongoro, with park fees, transport, a guide and lodge or camping accommodation.
Should I add a balloon safari?
Yes — a sunrise hot-air balloon safari over the Serengeti is a magical, once-in-a-lifetime add-on, best booked in advance as places are limited.
