5-Day Budget Serengeti & Ngorongoro Safari

This five-day budget safari offers a more relaxed pace through Tanzania's two most celebrated wildlife destinations. With two full days in the Serengeti, you have time to explore different areas of the park and maximize your chances of witnessing dramatic predator-prey interactions, river crossings during migration season, or simply soaking in the vastness of the African plains. The itinerary includes an introductory game drive in Lake Manyara or Tarangire (depending on season), followed by two full days exploring the Serengeti's diverse ecosystems, from the kopje-studded central plains to the riverine woodlands. Your guide will tailor the route based on current wildlife movements and seasonal highlights. The journey concludes with a dawn descent into the Ngorongoro Crater for a full morning of extraordinary game viewing. Budget camping safaris represent excellent value for money, with all park fees, transportation in a 4x4 safari vehicle with pop-up roof, an experienced English-speaking guide, a safari cook, three meals daily, and drinking water included. The only extras you need to budget for are tips, personal items, and any optional activities. This is real safari, not a compromised experience, just with simpler accommodation.
