6-Day Budget Lake Manyara to Serengeti Safari

This comprehensive six-day budget safari covers the full sweep of Tanzania's northern circuit, giving you time to fully experience each destination rather than rushing between parks. Starting at Lake Manyara and ending at the Ngorongoro Crater, the route takes you through some of the most spectacular landscapes and wildlife concentrations on the African continent. Your journey includes a full day in the compact but wildlife-rich Lake Manyara National Park, where tree-climbing lions and large elephant herds roam beneath the Rift Valley escarpment. Two full days in the Serengeti allow for extensive exploration of the central Seronera area, famous for its year-round resident wildlife including large lion prides, leopards lounging in sausage trees, and cheetahs scanning the plains from termite mounds. A visit to Tarangire National Park adds the spectacle of massive elephant herds among ancient baobab trees. The budget camping experience on this tour is enhanced by the extra time, which means less driving and more wildlife watching. Camp is set up at scenic locations where you can enjoy the sounds of the African bush as the sun sets. All meals are freshly prepared by your safari cook, and your guide's expertise ensures you find the best wildlife encounters each day.
