5 Days Northern Tanzania Safari

This tour starts & ends at Arusha with road transfers between all locations.

Central Serengeti is the farthest location you will be visiting in this tour and it is 7 hours from Arusha, each way.

You can check about driving and flying to Serengeti here. To save drive time, you can directly fly into Central Serengeti where your safari vehicle with guide will be waiting to directly start the safari and cover other parks over the next few days making your way to Arusha by road on the last day. We will reroute the itinerary such that you cover all the parks included in the original itinerary with the same choice of accommodations & same number of nights as included in the original itinerary. This is called a Fly-in Safari.

The game drive will go on till evening with a small break for picnic lunch. During the game drive watch out for buffaloes,

giraffes, impalas, baboons and the blue monkeys. Another spectacle of Lake Manyara National park is the tree climbing lions,
