6-Day Best Big Five Safari with Cultural Tour

Our driver will greet you at the airport and take you to Arusha to your accommodation in Arusha. There, you’ll relax and prepare for the exciting adventures that lie ahead.

We will pick you up from your hotel at 7:30 am and, after meeting your guide, drive for approximately 2 hours to Tarangire National Park, renowned for its diverse landscapes and ancient baobab trees. The park offers excellent opportunities to observe interactions among elephant families, and we’ll conduct a game drive focusing on areas with reported animal sightings, including elusive predators like lions, cheetahs, and leopards. You’ll also enjoy seeing giraffes, wildebeests, and zebras, which are abundant throughout the park. Lunch will be at a picnic site with a stunning view of the river and wildlife. While small monkeys and baboons may be curious about your lunch, there’s no need for concern.

After breakfast, you’ll embark on a drive from Karatu to the Serengeti, which takes about 4 to 5 hours, including stops. The journey will take you through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, where you'll briefly stop at the gate and viewpoint to take in the stunning views of the crater, a stop that will take around 20 minutes. You’ll arrive in Serengeti National Park by late afternoon and embark on a game drive in Seronera, the heart of the Serengeti. Enjoy the breathtaking sunset while observing the wildlife up close. If fortune favors us, we may witness predators in action, either hunting or on a kill. After the game drive, we’ll head to Kontiki Camp in Central Serengeti for the night.

After an early breakfast, we’ll set off on a morning game drive south of Serengeti toward Seronera. We’ll exit Serengeti National Park in the late afternoon and drive to Ngorongoro Rhino Lodge, which offers views of the crater. This drive takes about 2 hours and takes you near the rim of Ngorongoro Crater. Optionally, you can visit a Maasai village to learn about their culture. This visit, lasting between 20 to 45 minutes, is not included in the package price.

After breakfast, your guide will pick you up from your hotel and drive you out of the park to Lake Eyasi. Here, you’ll immerse yourself in a cultural tour with the Hadzabe people, participating in traditional hunting activities. You’ll also visit the Maasai community. Afterward, you’ll return to Karatu for relaxation, dinner, and an overnight stay.

On your final day, after breakfast, your guide will pick you up from your hotel and drive you to either Arusha or Kilimanjaro Airport, where your journey with us will come to an end. We hope you've made unforgettable memories with MansourSafaris. On the way, your guide can stop at a local shop where you can buy gifts and souvenirs to take home.
