7 days Classic Camping Safari
This 6-day camping safari covers the same route as our 6-Day Tanzania Lodge Safari, two nights inside the Serengeti, plus Tarangire, the Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara on their own dedicated days, at a lower price point with public campsite accommodation throughout.
Rather than combining the crater game drive and Lake Manyara into a single long day, this itinerary gives each its own dedicated day, with a second night camping near the crater rim before the final drive out via Manyara. If comfort matters more than budget, our 6-Day Tanzania Lodge Safari covers the identical route with lodge accommodation. Travelers who want an additional day inside the Serengeti, three nights rather than two, should look at our 7-Day Tanzania Camping Safari.

Morning pick-up from your hotel in Arusha or Moshi for the drive to Tarangire National Park, famous for large elephant herds, ancient baobab trees and a high concentration of wildlife along the Tarangire River. You'll enjoy a full game drive with a picnic lunch inside the park, then continue in the afternoon to your accommodation for dinner and overnight.
After breakfast, you drive west through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, pausing at the crater rim viewpoint for your first sight of the caldera floor, then descend onto the Serengeti plains via Naabi Hill Gate. The drive itself is part of the game viewing, with giraffe and zebra often visible along the access road. You'll reach the Seronera area by mid-afternoon for your first Serengeti game drive before dinner and overnight inside the park.
A full day dedicated to game drives in the Serengeti, with a picnic lunch out on the plains. The Seronera Valley has the highest leopard density in East Africa and a resident lion population that your guide tracks daily, alongside elephant, buffalo, giraffe and (seasonally) the wildebeest migration. Morning and afternoon drives explore different parts of the central Serengeti, with your guide adjusting the route based on recent sightings.
An early morning game drive, the best window for predator activity as lions return from overnight hunts, before you exit the park at Naabi Hill and retrace the route through the highlands toward Ngorongoro. You arrive at a lodge in the Karatu area or near the crater rim in the afternoon, with time to relax before dinner ahead of the next morning's crater descent.
After an early breakfast, you descend over 600 metres into the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the best wildlife-viewing areas in Africa. The crater floor hosts lion, elephant, buffalo and hippo, with flamingos around the soda lake and one of the highest chances in Tanzania of spotting the endangered black rhino. After a picnic lunch near the hippo pool, you ascend the rim road and return to your lodge for dinner and overnight.
