Trip Overview
The 5-Day Tanzania Safari Tour takes you to Tanzania's iconic Big Five safari destinations in the northern circuit. They include the Ngorongoro Crater, Ndutu Conservancy, and Serengeti National Park. Here you will enjoy safaris featuring the wildebeest migration depending on the month of the year you have traveled.
The wildebeest herds are usually in southern Serengeti, the Ndutu area, over the Ngorongoro Crater Rim and the Ndutu conservancy from December to March. This is the calving period when over 4000 calves are born. It also marks the start of the wildebeest migration journey through Central and Western Serengeti to Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya.
If you, therefore, visit Tanzania on this 5-Day Tanzania safari Tour from December to March you can catch up with the early stages of the great wildebeest Migration. Beyond the Wildebeest are other important safari animals including zebras, elephants, giraffes, and Rhinos among others. You can still enjoy your safari featuring any of these plus the big cats that are often seen roaming the Serengeti Ecosystem.
The 5 Days Tanzania Big Five Safari is ideal for adventure lovers and wildlife photography. This safari can be enjoyed at any time of the year, especially in the dry months from June to September. By this time of the year, the wildebeest herds would have crossed over to Kenya and start crossing back to Tanzania in mid-September. These beautiful wildlife destinations can be enjoyed on Savanna wildlife safari game drives, birding safaris, and more. You can also enjoy balloon safaris, sundowners, guided nature walks, and community visits. Tanzania has perfect weather and can be visited any time of the year.
