6 Days Tanzania Group Sharing Safari – Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro & Lake Manyara

Join our 6 Days Tanzania Group Sharing Safari and explore four of Tanzania’s most rewarding Northern Circuit destinations: Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara National Park. Starting and ending in Arusha, this small-group safari combines exciting wildlife viewing, spectacular landscapes and shared 4×4 game drives at excellent value. Look for elephants among Tarangire’s baobabs, spend two days exploring the wildlife-rich Serengeti, descend into the Ngorongoro Crater and finish with a game drive in Lake Manyara.

6 Days / 5 Nights | Group Sharing Safari | 4×4 Land Cruiser | Starts & Ends in Arusha

Experience the highlights of Tanzania’s famous Northern Safari Circuit on this 6 Days Tanzania Group Sharing Safari, combining Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara National Park in one well-paced itinerary. Designed for travellers who want the excitement of a classic Tanzania safari at a more affordable price, the tour allows you to share the safari vehicle and operating costs with other guests while still enjoying professionally guided game drives in a 4×4 safari Land Cruiser.

Starting and ending in Arusha, the journey takes you from Tarangire’s elephant herds and ancient baobab landscapes to the vast plains of the Serengeti, where you have extended time to search for lions, cheetahs, leopards, wildebeest and other wildlife. You will also descend into the wildlife-rich Ngorongoro Crater before completing your safari at scenic Lake Manyara.

The package uses comfortable mid-range lodges and tented camps, with meals and scheduled game drives included during the safari. By combining four major wildlife destinations with group-sharing costs, this itinerary offers excellent value for solo travellers, couples and friends looking for a comprehensive Tanzania safari without the higher cost of a private tour.

• Explore Four Northern Circuit Destinations – Experience Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara on one well-planned six-day Tanzania safari.

• Elephants & Baobabs in Tarangire – Search for elephants, giraffes, zebras, antelopes and other wildlife among Tarangire National Park’s distinctive baobab-dotted landscapes.

• Extended Serengeti Wildlife Experience – Spend valuable safari time in the Serengeti, including a full day of game viewing with opportunities to look for lions, cheetahs, leopards, elephants, wildebeest and other plains wildlife.

• Descend into Ngorongoro Crater – Explore the crater floor on a game drive in one of Tanzania’s most celebrated wildlife areas, with opportunities to encounter a remarkable variety of animals within a relatively compact area.

• Discover Lake Manyara National Park – Complete the safari with a game drive through Lake Manyara’s diverse habitats, known for birdlife, primates, elephants and scenic Rift Valley landscapes.

• Shared 4×4 Safari Experience – Travel with other safari guests in a specially equipped 4×4 Land Cruiser with a pop-up roof designed for wildlife viewing and photography.

• Excellent Value for Money – Sharing the safari vehicle and operating costs makes this itinerary an affordable way to experience four major Tanzania safari destinations while retaining comfortable mid-range accommodation and professionally guided game drives.

Day 1: Arusha – Tarangire National Park

After breakfast, meet your professional safari driver-guide in Arusha and join your fellow travellers for the drive to Tarangire National Park, approximately 2–2.5 hours away. After completing the park entry formalities, begin your first game drive through landscapes characterised by ancient baobab trees, open savannah and the Tarangire River.

Tarangire is particularly famous for its large elephant population, while giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, buffaloes, impalas and numerous bird species are also commonly seen. Lions and leopards may also be encountered during the game drive. Enjoy a picnic lunch inside the park before continuing your wildlife viewing in the afternoon. Later, leave Tarangire and drive to your lodge or camp for dinner and overnight.

Driving Time: Approximately 2–2.5 hours from Arusha to Tarangire
Meals: Lunch & Dinner
Accommodation: Mid-range lodge/camp in the Tarangire or Karatu area

Day 2: Tarangire/Karatu – Serengeti National Park

After breakfast, depart for the legendary Serengeti National Park, travelling through the scenic Ngorongoro Conservation Area on the way. Depending on your overnight location, the journey to the Serengeti generally takes around 4–6 hours, excluding wildlife stops and entry formalities.

As you descend towards the Serengeti plains, the landscape gradually opens into the vast grasslands for which the park is famous. Enter the Serengeti and continue with an en-route game drive, looking for wildebeest, zebras, giraffes, elephants, buffaloes and predators such as lions, cheetahs and leopards. Your guide will use their knowledge of the area to explore productive wildlife locations along the route. Arrive at your tented camp or lodge later in the afternoon or early evening for dinner and overnight.

Driving Time: Approximately 4–6 hours, depending on starting point and wildlife stops
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
Accommodation: Mid-range tented camp/lodge – Serengeti National Park

Day 3: Full-Day Serengeti National Park

Today is dedicated to a full-day game drive in Serengeti National Park, giving you more time to explore one of Africa’s most celebrated wildlife destinations. After breakfast, depart with a packed picnic lunch and venture across the Serengeti plains in search of wildlife.

The Serengeti supports an extraordinary diversity of animals, including lions, elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, zebras, wildebeest, hippos and several antelope species. Your guide will also look for elusive predators such as leopards and cheetahs. Depending on the season and current wildlife movements, your game drive may explore different areas to maximise viewing opportunities. During the Great Wildebeest Migration, herd locations vary according to rainfall and grazing conditions, so sightings cannot be guaranteed in a specific area. Enjoy lunch in the park before continuing your afternoon game drive and returning to camp for dinner.

Game Drive: Full day in Serengeti National Park
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
Accommodation: Mid-range tented camp/lodge – Serengeti National Park

Day 4: Serengeti – Ngorongoro Conservation Area

Begin the morning with breakfast followed by another game drive in the Serengeti, taking advantage of the cooler hours when wildlife can be particularly active. This provides another opportunity to search for species you may not have encountered during the previous day's game drive.

Later, travel towards the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, enjoying wildlife and changing landscapes along the way. The journey from the central Serengeti towards Ngorongoro generally takes around 3–4 hours, although the day may be longer with game-viewing stops. As you approach the Ngorongoro highlands, the open Serengeti plains give way to rolling hills and dramatic volcanic scenery. Arrive near the Ngorongoro area later in the afternoon, where you will settle into your accommodation and prepare for the following morning’s crater safari.

Driving Time: Approximately 3–4 hours, excluding game-viewing stops
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
Accommodation: Mid-range lodge/camp – Ngorongoro/Karatu area

Day 5: Ngorongoro Crater – Karatu

After an early breakfast, drive to the Ngorongoro Crater and descend approximately 600 metres to the crater floor for an extensive game drive. The crater’s grasslands, wetlands, forests and permanent water sources support a remarkable concentration of wildlife within a relatively compact area.

During your game drive, look for buffaloes, zebras, wildebeest, hippos, elephants, hyenas and lions. The crater is also one of Tanzania’s better-known areas for the possibility of seeing the critically endangered black rhinoceros, although sightings are never guaranteed. Enjoy a picnic lunch at a designated site before continuing your exploration of the crater floor. Later in the afternoon, ascend the crater wall and drive to Karatu, where you will check into your lodge for a relaxed evening, dinner and overnight.

Game Drive: Approximately 5–6 hours in Ngorongoro Crater
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
Accommodation: Mid-range lodge – Karatu

Day 6: Lake Manyara National Park – Arusha

After breakfast, depart Karatu for Lake Manyara National Park, approximately 30–45 minutes away, for the final game drive of your 6-day Tanzania group safari. Although smaller than the Serengeti and Tarangire, Lake Manyara offers diverse habitats ranging from groundwater forest and open woodland to floodplains and the alkaline lake.

Explore the park in search of elephants, giraffes, zebras, buffaloes, baboons, monkeys and various antelope species. The park is also an excellent destination for bird enthusiasts, with numerous resident and migratory species recorded around the lake and surrounding habitats. After your game drive and lunch, leave Lake Manyara and drive back to Arusha, a journey of approximately 2–2.5 hours. Arrival in Arusha marks the end of your 6 Days Tanzania Group Sharing Safari.

Driving Time: Karatu to Lake Manyara: 30–45 minutes; Lake Manyara to Arusha: approximately 2–2.5 hours
Meals: Breakfast & Lunch
Accommodation: Not included – end of safari in Arusha

From USD 1,400 per Person Sharing

Experience Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara on a six-day mid-range group safari from Arusha. The price combines shared safari transport with comfortable lodge and tented-camp accommodation, allowing you to experience Tanzania's Northern Circuit at a lower cost than operating the same itinerary privately.

What Your USD 1,400 Safari Price Covers

Your safari price includes 5 nights of mid-range accommodation, transport in a shared 4×4 safari Land Cruiser, a professional Tanzania safari driver-guide, full-board meals while on safari, scheduled game drives, national park and conservation fees, and Ngorongoro Crater fees.

Accommodation is planned at Eileen's Trees Inn in the Tarangire/Karatu area and Serengeti Kati Kati Tented Camp in the Serengeti, or comparable mid-range properties if the preferred accommodation is unavailable.

Why Group Sharing Costs Less

Instead of paying for an entire safari vehicle and driver-guide privately, you share the 4×4 Land Cruiser and operating costs with other travellers booked on the same departure. This reduces the per-person safari cost while you still enjoy mid-range accommodation, professional guiding, included park fees and the same scheduled route through Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara.

This is a mid-range group safari rather than a basic camping safari – making it particularly suitable for travellers who want better comfort while keeping the cost below an equivalent private Tanzania safari.

Price note: Rates may vary according to travel season, accommodation availability and changes to park, conservation or government fees. Your exact safari price, confirmed accommodation and available group departure will be provided before booking.

This 6 Days Tanzania Group Sharing Safari uses comfortable mid-range lodges and tented camps along Tanzania’s Northern Safari Circuit. Accommodation is based on twin/double rooms or tents, with a single room available for solo travellers subject to the applicable supplement.

Important Accommodation Information

The properties above are our preferred accommodation for this group safari and are subject to availability on your confirmed travel dates. If one of the listed properties is unavailable, we will arrange a comparable mid-range lodge or tented camp of a similar standard and confirm the alternative before your safari.

Couples and friends booking together can request a double or twin room, while solo travellers can join the safari without forming their own group. A private single room or tent can be arranged subject to availability and the applicable single-room supplement.

Our 6 Days Tanzania Group Sharing Safari allows solo travellers, couples and small groups to reserve individual seats and travel together on a scheduled Northern Circuit safari. You share the safari vehicle, professional driver-guide and scheduled game drives with other confirmed travellers, helping reduce the cost compared with operating the same itinerary privately.

Guaranteed Group Departures

Our 6 Days Tanzania Group Sharing Safari has guaranteed departures every Monday, Friday and Saturday from Arusha, subject to available seats. Once your booking and safari date are confirmed, you can plan your trip knowing that your scheduled group departure will operate.

The safari departs from Arusha on the morning of Day 1 and returns to Arusha after visiting Lake Manyara National Park on Day 6. We recommend reserving your seat early, particularly during the peak safari seasons when group departures can fill quickly.

Maximum Group Size

Each shared safari vehicle carries a maximum of 7 travellers. Most departures operate with 6–7 guests depending on confirmed bookings, allowing each traveller good access to wildlife viewing and photography through the Land Cruiser's windows and pop-up roof.

Shared 4×4 Safari Vehicle

Game drives are operated in a specially equipped 4×4 safari Land Cruiser with a pop-up roof. The vehicle, driver-guide and daily safari programme are shared by everyone booked on the same departure.

Pickup & Drop-Off in Arusha

Pickup is arranged from selected hotels and designated meeting points within Arusha on the morning of departure. Because travellers may be staying at different hotels, exact pickup times can vary. Your confirmed pickup location and time will be provided in your final safari documents.

At the end of Day 6, the group returns to Arusha. Airport transfers and additional hotel nights can be arranged separately if required.

Seating During Game Drives

Seats are allocated to provide every traveller with good access to wildlife viewing and photography. Where necessary, seating can be rotated during the safari so guests have a fair opportunity to enjoy different viewing positions in the Land Cruiser.

Luggage for a Group Safari

Because luggage space in a shared safari vehicle is limited, we recommend travelling with a soft-sided duffel bag rather than a hard-shell suitcase. Keep your safari luggage compact and bring only what you need for the six-day journey. Any specific luggage allowance applicable to your departure will be confirmed with your booking.

Solo Travellers Are Welcome

You do not need to form your own group before booking. Solo travellers can reserve an available seat and join other confirmed guests travelling on the same departure. Your safari vehicle is shared, but your accommodation is arranged according to the room basis confirmed in your booking.

One Shared Safari Itinerary

All travellers in the vehicle follow the same scheduled route:

Arusha → Tarangire → Serengeti → Ngorongoro → Lake Manyara → Arusha

Because this is a group-sharing safari, game-drive schedules, departure times and stops are coordinated for the entire group. Travellers wanting complete control over daily timings, stops and routing should consider upgrading to a private Tanzania safari.

This 6 Days Tanzania Group Sharing Safari can be enjoyed throughout the year, with each season offering a different experience across Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara. Tanzania's dry season generally provides easier wildlife viewing around water sources, while the greener months bring lush landscapes, birdlife and dramatic scenery.

June to October – Dry Season

June to October is one of the most popular periods for a Tanzania safari. Conditions are generally drier, vegetation becomes less dense in many areas and wildlife often concentrates around permanent water sources. Tarangire can be particularly rewarding during this period as elephants and other animals gather around the Tarangire River.

The Serengeti remains excellent for general wildlife viewing, although the location of the Great Wildebeest Migration changes throughout the year.

November to March – Green Season

The short rains usually begin around November, transforming parts of the Northern Circuit into greener landscapes. This period can offer excellent photography, abundant birdlife and rewarding game viewing.

January and February are particularly associated with the southern Serengeti ecosystem's calving period. However, this standard group itinerary does not guarantee that it will visit the exact location of the migration herds.

April to May – Long Rains

April and May are generally the wetter months. The landscape is lush and green, visitor numbers can be lower and birdlife can be excellent. Rain may make some tracks muddy or affect road conditions, but safari travel remains possible depending on local conditions.

When Can I See the Great Wildebeest Migration?

The Great Wildebeest Migration is a natural, year-round movement, and the herds do not remain in one part of the Serengeti throughout the year. Their location is influenced by rainfall, grazing conditions and seasonal movement.

This six-day safari includes the Serengeti and therefore offers the possibility of encountering migration herds at certain times of year, but specific migration sightings or river crossings cannot be guaranteed.

If seeing a particular stage of the Great Migration is your main priority, ask us about the most suitable Serengeti region and safari itinerary for your travel month before booking.

Four Major Safari Destinations in Six Days

Experience Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara on one itinerary. Rather than concentrating on only one or two parks, this route showcases different landscapes, habitats and wildlife areas across Tanzania's Northern Safari Circuit.

Two Days of Serengeti Safari Experience

The itinerary gives the Serengeti meaningful time rather than treating it as a quick overnight stop. You arrive with an en-route game drive, enjoy a full day of Serengeti wildlife viewing, and have another opportunity for game viewing before continuing towards Ngorongoro.

Small-Group 4×4 Safari

Travel with a maximum of 7 travellers per safari vehicle in a specially equipped 4×4 Land Cruiser with a pop-up roof. Most departures operate with 6–7 guests, keeping the group small while sharing the vehicle costs and maintaining good access to wildlife viewing and photography.

Excellent Choice for Solo Travellers

You do not need to organise your own group. Solo travellers can book an available seat and join other confirmed guests, making this an accessible option for travellers who want a Tanzania safari without paying the full cost of a private vehicle.

Comfortable Mid-Range Accommodation

Stay in selected mid-range lodges and tented camps rather than basic camping accommodation. The itinerary combines the value of group travel with comfortable rooms or safari tents, full-board meals and convenient locations along the route.

Ngorongoro Crater Safari Included

The safari includes a descent into the Ngorongoro Crater for an extensive game drive, adding one of northern Tanzania's most distinctive wildlife environments to your Serengeti experience.

More Wildlife Variety with Tarangire & Lake Manyara

Tarangire adds its famous elephant herds and baobab landscapes, while Lake Manyara introduces groundwater forest, wetlands, primates, birdlife and Rift Valley scenery.

Better Value Through Group Sharing

Park fees, accommodation, guiding and scheduled game drives remain part of the safari experience, while the vehicle and operating costs are shared among travellers. This makes the itinerary particularly suitable for guests looking for a comprehensive Northern Tanzania safari at a lower cost than an equivalent private tour.

Scheduled Departures from Arusha

With scheduled Monday, Friday and Saturday departures, the safari is easy to incorporate into a wider Tanzania holiday. Additional Arusha nights, airport transfers or a Zanzibar beach extension can also be arranged around your safari dates.

1. Is 6 days enough for a Tanzania safari?

Yes. Six days is a good length for a Northern Tanzania safari, especially for travellers who want to visit several major wildlife areas without committing to a longer trip. This itinerary covers Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara National Park, with two nights in the Serengeti and a full day dedicated to Serengeti game viewing.

2.How many people share the safari vehicle?

Our Tanzania group-sharing safari operates with a maximum of 7 travellers per 4×4 safari Land Cruiser. Most departures have 6–7 guests depending on confirmed bookings. The Land Cruiser has a pop-up roof for wildlife viewing and photography, and the vehicle and professional driver-guide are shared with other travellers booked on the same departure.

3. Can solo travellers join this Tanzania group safari?

Yes. Solo travellers are welcome to join without having to organise their own group. You can reserve an available seat on one of our confirmed group departures and travel with other safari guests. A single-room supplement may apply if you require private accommodation during the safari.

4. Does this 6-day safari include the Serengeti?

Yes. The itinerary includes two nights in Serengeti National Park, an en-route game drive on arrival, a full day of Serengeti game viewing and additional wildlife viewing before departing towards Ngorongoro. This gives you more time in the Serengeti than itineraries that include only a single overnight stay.

5. Is Ngorongoro Crater included in the safari price?

Yes. The itinerary includes entry to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and a game drive on the Ngorongoro Crater floor. Applicable park and crater fees are included in the confirmed safari package unless otherwise stated in your quotation.

6. Where does the Tanzania group safari start and end?

The safari starts and ends in Arusha, Tanzania. On Day 1, you depart Arusha for Tarangire National Park. On Day 6, you visit Lake Manyara National Park before returning to Arusha. Airport transfers and additional accommodation in Arusha can be arranged separately if required.

7. What should I pack for a 6-day Tanzania safari?

Pack lightweight, comfortable clothing in neutral colours, a warm layer for cool mornings and evenings, comfortable closed shoes, sun protection, insect repellent and personal toiletries. A camera, binoculars, reusable water bottle and small day bag are also useful. We recommend a soft-sided travel bag rather than a large hard-shell suitcase because luggage space in shared safari vehicles is limited.

8. Can I join this safari after arriving from Zanzibar?

Yes. Travellers staying in Zanzibar can fly to Arusha or Kilimanjaro before the safari begins and join the scheduled departure from Arusha. Because the group leaves in the morning, we generally recommend arriving in Arusha at least one day before your safari departure rather than relying on a same-morning connection. We can arrange your flight, airport transfer and pre-safari Arusha accommodation if required.

9. When are the group safari departure days?

Our 6 Days Tanzania Group Sharing Safari has guaranteed departures every Monday, Friday and Saturday from Arusha, subject to available seats. Solo travellers, couples and friends can reserve seats on these scheduled departures without having to organise their own group.

We recommend booking early, especially during the peak safari seasons, as each safari vehicle carries a maximum of 7 travellers.

10. Is the Great Wildebeest Migration guaranteed on this safari?

No. The safari visits Serengeti National Park, so there may be opportunities to encounter migrating wildebeest depending on your travel dates and the location of the herds. However, the Great Migration is a natural wildlife movement influenced by rainfall and grazing conditions, so specific herd locations, river crossings or other wildlife sightings cannot be guaranteed. If the Great Migration is your main reason for travelling, ask us to recommend the most suitable itinerary and Serengeti region for your travel month.
