5 Day North Tanzania Safari Tours

A 5-day Northern Tanzania safari is the ideal length for travelers who want to explore Tanzania’s most iconic national parks at a comfortable, unhurried pace. With five days, you can experience the full Northern Safari Circuit — Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater, and Serengeti National Park — without feeling rushed.

This duration lets you enjoy longer, more meaningful game drives, spend two nights inside the Serengeti, and still have time to appreciate the region’s changing landscapes — from Tarangire’s baobab-studded savannah to Ngorongoro’s crater floor and Serengeti’s endless plains.

Compared to a 4-day itinerary, the 5-day tour adds critical breathing room: less time in the vehicle, more wildlife viewing, and the flexibility to follow animal movements instead of fixed schedules.
