Tarangire’s elephant herds, the open plains of the Serengeti, and a crater floor safari in Ngorongoro — three of Tanzania’s best in one trip. This five-day circuit strings together three distinct ecosystems. Tarangire opens the trip with its baobab-studded landscape and some of the country’s largest elephant herds. From there, the Serengeti’s endless plains offer game drives in search of the Big Five and, depending on the season, the wildebeest migration. The trip closes with a descent into the Ngorongoro Crater, a dense, self-contained wildlife haven and a fitting finale.Duration: 5 DaysLocations: Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Conservation Area, TanzaniaStyle: Safari — game drives, crater descentStart: ArushaEnd: Arusha
