Day 1:
Kilimanjaro Airport – Serengeti National Park
Safari to Kilimanjaro International Airport to Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire
- 5 Days | 4 Nights
Real Tanzania, close to nature — starlit skies, crackling campfires, and unforgettable wildlife, all without the frills.An adventurous, back-to-basics take on Tanzania’s legendary Northern Circuit. This 5-day budget camping safari swaps luxury lodges for public campsites under the open sky, giving you an authentic, immersive bush experience at a fraction of the cost. You’ll still visit the same iconic parks that mid-range and luxury travelers pay far more for — the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire — just with a simpler, more rustic camping setup each night. It’s the safari of choice for travelers who want maximum wildlife and adventure, and don’t mind a shared bathroom block or the sound of hyenas whooping outside the tent at 2am.
Wake up to lion calls still echoing across the plains, and fall asleep under a blanket of stars with the Serengeti’s wild heartbeat all around you — this is Tanzania stripped down to its raw, unforgettable essence.

Full Itinerary
Day 1: Kilimanjaro Airport – Serengeti National Park
Your ultimate Tanzanian safari begins the moment you arrive at Kilimanjaro International Airport, where your expert guide welcomes you and begins the thrilling overland journey to the legendary Serengeti National Park. As the landscape transforms around you, the excitement builds with every kilometre. Arrive in time for a breathtaking afternoon game drive across the world’s most iconic savannah. Camp at the well-located and authentic Serengeti Kati Kati Tented Camp.
Day 2: Full-Day Serengeti Game Drive
Surrender completely to the Serengeti’s endless drama. From the first golden light of dawn to the blazing colours of sunset, every moment on the Serengeti plains is a masterpiece of nature. Your expert guide will lead you across diverse habitats — tracking lions, spotting leopards in the trees, and witnessing vast herds of wildebeest and zebra moving across the open landscape. Enjoy a delicious bush picnic lunch before returning to camp for a well-deserved dinner.
Day 3: Serengeti – Ngorongoro Crater
After breakfast, journey to the UNESCO-listed Ngorongoro Crater for an afternoon of extraordinary wildlife encounters within the world’s largest intact volcanic caldera. Descend into the crater and experience an almost surreal concentration of animals — a true and humbling testament to the power and beauty of the natural world. Enjoy a picnic lunch before ascending to the Simba Public Campsite on the spectacular crater rim.
Day 4: Ngorongoro – Tarangire National Park
Begin the morning with one final exhilarating game drive on the crater floor before heading to the magnificent Tarangire National Park. Arrive in the afternoon for a game drive through Tarangire’s spectacular baobab-studded landscapes, home to Tanzania’s largest elephant herds and a stunning diversity of bird species. As the sun sets over the African bush, raise a toast to an extraordinary adventure at the authentic Tarangire Public Campsite.
Day 5: Tarangire Morning Drive – Kilimanjaro Airport
Rise early for one final game drive through the golden landscapes of Tarangire before transferring to Kilimanjaro International Airport. Tanzania has given you something truly precious — memories of wildlife encounters, golden sunsets, starlit skies, and the untamed beauty of Africa that will stay with you forever.
