Northern Highlights

5 DAYS

FROM 1,650 USD

OVERVIEW

The Northern Highlights 5 safari is a compact, high-impact experience designed for travelers with limited time who still want to see Tanzania’s iconic landscapes. Over five days, you’ll explore Tarangire, Lake Manyara, and the Ngorongoro Crater, witnessing large elephant herds, baobab forests, tree-climbing lions, and dense wildlife concentrations in the crater.

Arrive at Kilimanjaro International Airport. Your Sheventures Safari guide meets you, transfers you to your hotel in Arusha, and briefs you about the adventure ahead. Relax and prepare for the journey.

After breakfast, drive to Tarangire National Park. Enjoy a full game drive in the afternoon through landscapes dotted with giant baobabs and elephant herds. Overnight at a lodge near Tarangire.

Depart for Lake Manyara National Park, known for its vibrant birdlife, forested slopes, and flamingo-filled lake. Take a game drive and enjoy the lush scenery. Overnight in Manyara / Karatu area.

Travel to the Ngorongoro Highlands and then descend into the Ngorongoro Crater for a full-day game drive. The crater is one of the most wildlife-dense areas in Africa—expect to see lions, elephants, buffalo, and possibly black rhino. Picnic lunch in the crater, then return to your lodge on the rim.
