This isn't just an itinerary; it's a six-day expedition designed for the true adventurer. While other safaris may rush you through Tanzania's highlights, our 6-day Tanzania camping safari offers the luxury of time. It allows you to venture off the well-trodden paths, get up close with nature's giants, and truly feel the rhythm of the wild. By dedicating more time to the iconic Serengeti, we transform a great trip into an unparalleled experience. Join us on this authentic African adventure, where every sunrise brings a new discovery and every night under the stars promises an unforgettable memory.
6 Day Camping Safari Detailed itinerary
Day 1: Tarangire's Elephant Kingdom.
Your journey begins with a departure from Arusha to Tarangire National Park. We won't just drive through; we'll spend a full day exploring this unique landscape defined by its ancient baobab trees and sprawling marshlands. Our mission is to witness the park's majestic elephant herds congregating by water sources, along with predators like lions and cheetahs. After a day of phenomenal game viewing, you'll retreat to your safari camp, where the sounds of the bush will be your evening lullaby.
Day 2: The Serengeti's Grand Reveal
Today, you'll leave Tarangire behind and journey toward the world's most famous national park. The drive to the Serengeti is a grand reveal, with the landscape transitioning from highlands to endless plains. Upon entry, your game drive begins immediately, and you'll head toward the central Seronera region—known as the "cat capital of Africa." The afternoon will be dedicated to a thrilling game drive focused on tracking big cats, from leopards resting in acacia trees to a pride of lions on the hunt
Day 3: Full-Day Cat Tracking in the Serengeti
This is the heart of your safari. Dedicate an entire day to the pursuit of the Serengeti's elusive and magnificent predators. With no need to rush, you'll have the flexibility to follow a cheetah hunt, observe a lion pride's dynamic, or simply sit and watch the incredible wildlife that makes this region so famous. This exclusive focus is a key highlight of our 6-day camping safari, providing a depth of experience few other itineraries can match.
Day 4: Following the Great Migration
Today, we adapt to nature's schedule. Your guide will use their expert knowledge to move to a different part of the Serengeti—north or south—to track the ongoing Great Migration. This extended day allows us to follow the colossal herds of wildebeest and zebras, putting you right in the middle of one of the planet's most spectacular wildlife events. You will spend the night at a campsite strategically located for the best possible viewing experience.
Day 5: The Journey to Ngorongoro Crater's Edge.
After a final sunrise game drive in the Serengeti, you will begin your scenic drive to the Ngorongoro Crater. We'll make a fascinating stop at the Olduvai Gorge, a site of immense paleoanthropological significance, offering a journey back in time. You'll then arrive at your campsite perched on the crater's rim. The elevated location provides breathtaking, sweeping views of the caldera, a preview of tomorrow's grand finale.
Day 6: Ngorongoro's Grand Finale.
The final day is your spectacular finale. You'll descend into the majestic Ngorongoro Crater, a unique and self-contained ecosystem often called the "Garden of Eden." With an unmatched concentration of wildlife, this is your best chance to spot the Big Five in a single game drive. After a final picnic lunch by the hippo pool, you will begin your drive back to Arusha, your memory card full and your soul enriched by an unforgettable expedition.
