Tarangire · Ngorongoro Crater · Serengeti
6 Days Tanzania Signature Safari
Six days. Three nights in the Serengeti. One unforgettable sunrise above the plains. Not a drive-through safari — three Serengeti nights create space for wildlife, landscape and an included hot-air balloon experience to become the highlight of the journey.
Highlights
- 3 full nights in the Serengeti
- Sunrise hot-air balloon flight and bush breakfast INCLUDED
- Tarangire and Ngorongoro Crater en route
- More Serengeti time than a typical 6-day itinerary
Day-by-Day Itinerary
Day 1: Arrival at Kilimanjaro Airport, transfer to Arusha and a safari briefing.
Day 2: Tarangire National Park — elephants, baobabs and dry-country wildlife — then on toward the Ngorongoro highlands.
Day 3: Descend into Ngorongoro Crater for a concentrated game drive, then continue into the Serengeti for your first of three nights.
Day 4: Before sunrise, transfer to the balloon launch site for a flight over the Serengeti, followed by a landing celebration and bush breakfast, then a private game drive.
Day 5: Full flexible day of private game viewing, following recent sightings and seasonal movement rather than a fixed checklist.
Day 6: After breakfast and a final short wildlife session where timing allows, depart Serengeti for your onward international flight.
