Tour Overview

Tanzania's wildlife is famous, and with so many animals and birds about, there's plenty to look at every day. This 5 Days Tanzania Luxury Safari is for travelers who put comfort ahead of roughing it. You'll enjoy great wildlife and beautiful scenery, stay in some of the best upscale lodges, and still get the real feel of a Tanzanian safari.

For a luxury trip, Tanzania offers some of the best safari stays in the world: fine lodges, very good food and excellent service, out among the animals.

This 5-day Tanzania luxury safari takes you to four of the country's best-known national parks: Lake Manyara National Park, Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire National Park. It's a full, comfortable trip that mixes excellent wildlife viewing with very good places to stay, spread over five days.

Lake Manyara National Park: You start gently in this lovely park, where forest tracks run between a soda lake and the steep Great Rift escarpment. It's known for tree-climbing lions and more than 400 bird species, and you stay at a luxury lodge.
Serengeti National Park: Next you explore Africa's most famous park, known for its many big cats and the Great Migration: 1.5 million wildebeest, 200,000 zebras and 350,000 gazelles on a 1,200-mile trek to survive. You stay at a luxury tented camp or lodge, right among all this wildlife.
Ngorongoro Crater: Then you visit the world's largest intact caldera, a 265 sq. km bowl with walls 600m deep. Between 20,000 and 30,000 animals live here, and it's one of the best places to look for the Big Five. You stay at a comfortable lodge near the crater.
Tarangire National Park: You finish in this park, which is at its best in the dry season, when its baobab-covered landscapes fill with huge elephant herds. Bird lovers can look for some of the more than 500 species, and you stay at a top-end lodge or tented camp.

What Our Travelers Say About Our Tours

Highly Experienced and Wonderful Crew
The 7 days Lemosho route Kilimanjaro trek exceeded our expectations. The route is so beautiful and we enjoyed tackling the mountain with experienced guides - Bakari and Nickson. They were supportive from start to finish in all the aspects of the trek, starting with the technical strategy on the speed, rests and ensuring that we were healthy through regular checks.

Absolutely Beautiful Memories For My Family
Traveling with my 6 members of my family of ages between 8 and 73 is always a complex task with many moving parts. We had to arrange for Mama and Poppas dietary restrictions, accommodations, easy access for Mama and off-course places with a pool and kids activities for Lil Poppa and his teenage sister Anna.

The Best Experience Absolutely
We could not have asked for a better experience on Kilimanjaro. Everything about this trip with this local operator was top notch. Starting with the booking with Naick who made it smooth and easy with his timely responses and advice. Payment was easy and they took care of all the logistics that all we had to do was present ourselves at the KIA.
