5 Days Serengeti and Ngorongoro Safari
5 Days Serengeti and Ngorongoro Safari
Overview
This 5 days Serengeti and Ngorongoro safari is a focused Northern Tanzania itinerary for travellers who want two of the country’s strongest safari destinations without rushing through too many parks. The journey begins in Arusha and continues to Serengeti National Park, where wide plains, kopjes, grazing herds, and predators create the classic image of a Tanzania safari. You will spend time exploring the Serengeti before travelling toward the Ngorongoro highlands for a full crater safari experience. The Ngorongoro Crater is one of the best places in Tanzania for concentrated wildlife viewing, with chances to see lions, buffalo, zebras, wildebeest, hippos, hyenas, and, with luck, rhinos and other Big Five species. This itinerary is suitable for first-time safari travellers, couples, families, and wildlife lovers who want a clear, well-paced Serengeti and Ngorongoro safari operated by Fidelity Safaris.

Yes. This itinerary is ideal for first-time Tanzania safari travellers because it focuses on Serengeti National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater, two of the most famous and rewarding wildlife destinations in Northern Tanzania.
The route covers Arusha, Serengeti National Park, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, the Ngorongoro Crater, and the Karatu or Ngorongoro highlands area.
There is a good chance to see several Big Five animals, especially lions, buffalo, elephants, and sometimes leopards. The Ngorongoro Crater also offers one of the better chances to see black rhinos, although wildlife sightings are never guaranteed.
This safari can operate throughout the year. The dry season is popular for wildlife viewing, while the green season offers fresh scenery, fewer crowds, and excellent photography conditions.
