5-Day Oldonyo Lengai, Tarangire & Ngorongoro Safari

Tailor-made safari

5-Day Oldonyo Lengai, Tarangire & Ngorongoro Safari

A thoughtfully designed Tanzania journey, shaped around the way you want to travel.

The journey

Experience Overview

A five-day route that returns from Natron into the classic northern circuit through Tarangire, then positions Ngorongoro for the final day. This is more realistic than attempting to drive directly from a strenuous mountain activity into Serengeti on the same day.

Route: Lake Natron / Oldonyo Lengai -> Oldonyo Lengai / Lake Natron -> Lake Natron / Tarangire -> Tarangire / Ngorongoro -> Ngorongoro

Travel Style: Adventure plus classic safari

Best For: Active guests wanting a volcano and two northern parks

Day by day

Follow the rhythm of your safari.

Each day is designed with a gentle balance of movement, discovery and time to simply be in the wild.

Day 01

Arusha to Lake Natron

Arusha to Lake Natron
Day 01Tanzania

Destination: Lake Natron / Oldonyo Lengai Drive from Arusha through the Rift Valley landscape toward Lake Natron, with the journey becoming progressively more remote. After check-in, take a gentle guided lakeshore, village or viewpoint activity according to arrival time and local conditions. The evening is reserved for rest and a safety briefing for any professionally guided Oldonyo Lengai activity included in the package.

Night accommodation: Africa Safari Lake Natron or Lake Natron Camp

Tonight’s stayAfrica Safari Lake Natron
Day 02

Professionally Guided Oldonyo Lengai Experience

Professionally Guided Oldonyo Lengai Experience
Day 02Tanzania

Destination: Oldonyo Lengai / Lake Natron Take part in the Oldonyo Lengai mountain program only under experienced local professional guidance and only when route, volcanic, weather and participant conditions are considered suitable. The mountain is steep and demanding, so the guide's decision on continuation or turnaround is final. After the mountain activity, the remainder of the day is kept light for recovery around Lake Natron.

Night accommodation: Africa Safari Lake Natron or Lake Natron Camp

Tonight’s stayAfrica Safari Lake Natron
Day 03

Lake Natron to Tarangire

Lake Natron to Tarangire
Day 03Tanzania

Destination: Lake Natron / Tarangire Depart the Lake Natron basin and drive back toward the main northern safari circuit, continuing to Tarangire. After park entry, enjoy an afternoon game drive if timing allows. The route is designed to connect the volcanic landscape with a classic wildlife destination without forcing an unrealistic full-day game drive after a long transfer.

Night accommodation: Sangaiwe Tented Lodge or Maramboi Tented Lodge

Day 04

Tarangire to Ngorongoro Highlands

Tarangire to Ngorongoro Highlands
Day 04Tanzania

Destination: Tarangire / Ngorongoro Enjoy a final Tarangire wildlife drive before leaving the park and travelling toward Karatu and the Ngorongoro highlands. The shorter transfer creates a more relaxed day than driving directly to Serengeti, and it positions the group well for the crater the next morning. Arrive at the lodge with time for dinner and rest.

Night accommodation: The Retreat at Ngorongoro or Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge

Tonight’s stayNgorongoro Serena Safari Lodge
Day 05

Ngorongoro Crater Safari and Departure

Ngorongoro Crater Safari and Departure
Day 05Tanzania

Destination: Ngorongoro Enter the Ngorongoro Crater for a morning-to-midday safari, using the cooler hours for wildlife viewing before climbing out of the caldera. After lunch, continue to Arusha, Kilimanjaro International Airport or the next confirmed connection. The final transfer is planned conservatively; international flight timings should leave enough margin for road conditions and park formalities.

Night accommodation: No overnight unless an extension is booked
