★ 5-Star TestimonialsExperience Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater on a well-organised 5 days private game drive safari with Tanzania Safari Radar, your local tour operator for 2026-2027. Because this safari focuses on general wildlife viewing. This safari is well-arrnged throughout the year. Your private guide adjusts the daily routes based on recent animal movements and weather, helping you make the most of every game drive. Serengeti National Park is famous for its vast open plains and high concentration of predators and herbivores. Even outside the peak migration months, the central and southern areas still hold strong populations of lions, cheetahs, elephants and large herds of zebra and wildebeest. Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is one of the best places in Africa to see black rhino alongside the rest of the Big Five in a single day. Combining these two parks in five days creates a balanced and rewarding introduction to northern Tanzania’s wildlife.
Starting from Arusha, you travel first toward Ngorongoro Crater, where the views from the rim are impressive and the crater floor offers excellent chances to see the Big Five - lions, elephants, buffalo, leopards and black rhinos. In Serengeti National Park you continue searching for elephants, zebras, giraffes, wildebeest, lions, hyenas, leopards and many bird species across the open plains. The private format lets you explore both parks at a relaxed condition instead of rushing from one sighting to the next. This private game drive itinerary can be enjoyed year-round. The dry season from June to October usually offers clearer views and animals gathering around water sources. The green season from November to May brings lush landscapes, fewer vehicles and excellent birdwatching. January and February are particularly good for seeing newborn wildebeest in the southern Serengeti. Your guide will adapt the routes to the conditions of the month you travel, so you still have strong wildlife viewing opportunities whichever season you choose.
This 5 days private game drive safari through Serengeti and Ngorongoro is ideal for travellers who want to enjoy Tanzania’s classic wildlife without tying the trip to a specific migration event. From the crater floor to the wide Serengeti plains, you have repeated opportunities to look for lions, elephants, buffalo, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, hippos, antelopes and a wide range of birds in their natural habitat. A private safari gives you full control of the daily schedule. You decide when to start, how long to stay at a sighting, and whether to focus more on photography, birdwatching or simply enjoying the scenery. The 4x4 Land Cruiser is reserved only for your group, so everyone has a window seat and clear views through the pop-up roof. This flexibility is especially useful for couples, families with children, honeymooners and small groups who prefer a quieter, more personal experience.

Your 5 days private game drive safari begins with a scenic drive from Arusha into the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, where you spend the first night near the crater rim. The next morning you descend into Ngorongoro Crater for a full game drive across the crater floor. This enclosed landscape is one of the best places in Tanzania to look for the Big Five - lions, elephants, buffalo, leopards and black rhinos in a single morning before continuing west toward Serengeti National Park.
Once inside Serengeti you enjoy two full days of private game drives across the open plains, followed by a final morning drive on the last day before returning to Arusha. Because the focus is general wildlife viewing rather than a single seasonal event, this itinerary works well from January through December. Serengeti remains rich in animals year-round, offering repeated chances to see lions, elephants, buffalo, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, hippos, antelopes and a wide variety of birds. Moving from the crater floor to the vast Serengeti plains gives the safari a clear change of scenery and keeps each day distinct.
