5 Days Safari & Cultural Visit

About This 5 Day Tanzania Safari

This 5 day Tanzania safari combines famous wildlife with real local culture in northern Tanzania. It is a budget Tanzania safari, so it suits travellers on a budget or short on time. In addition, it works as a Tanzania safari and cultural tour, with a village visit near Karatu. That village stop makes this safari tour in Tanzania more than a game-drive checklist.

What You Will See on Your Tanzania Safari and Cultural Tour

First, you explore Tarangire and its many elephants. Next, you spend a full day in the famous Ngorongoro Crater. You also meet local communities in the villages of the Karatu Highlands. Throughout the trip, you enjoy private game drives and value lodges such as Tarangire River Camp and Ngorongoro Farm House. As a result, you see top safari highlights and Tanzanian traditions at a fair price.
