Best Time to Do This 5 Day Kenya and Tanzania Safari Itinerary

This 5 Day Kenya and Tanzania Safari Itinerary can be done throughout the year, but the wildlife experience and landscapes vary depending on the season. The safari travels through the famous ecosystem connecting Masai Mara National Reserve and Serengeti National Park before finishing at the spectacular Ngorongoro Crater, one of the best wildlife viewing areas in Africa.

July – October (Best for the Great Migration)

This is the most popular safari season when millions of wildebeest and zebra move between Serengeti and Masai Mara. Travelers may witness dramatic river crossings and excellent predator action during this period.

December – March (Best for Predator Sightings)

These months offer excellent wildlife viewing with fewer crowds. The weather is generally dry and sunny, making it a great time for photography and game drives.

April – May (Green Season)

April and May fall within the long rainy season in East Africa, and this period is generally not recommended for this 5 Day Kenya and Tanzania Safari. Heavy rains can make some roads muddy and difficult to navigate, particularly in remote areas between Masai Mara National Reserve and Serengeti National Park.

Where the 5 Day Kenya and Tanzania Safari Takes You:

A 5 Day Kenya and Tanzania Safari takes you through three of East Africa’s most iconic wildlife destinations: the Masai Mara National Reserve, Serengeti National Park, and Ngorongoro Crater. Together, these parks form part of the greater Serengeti ecosystem, one of Africa’s richest wildlife regions.

Your safari begins in Masai Mara, known for its open savannah and high concentration of wildlife, including the Big Five. You then cross into Serengeti National Park, famous for its endless plains and the Great Migration, where wildebeest and zebras move in search of fresh grazing.

The journey ends at Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with an exceptional density of wildlife. This natural wonder offers one of the best chances to see lions, elephants, hippos, and even the rare black rhino in a single game drive.

Can You See the Great Migration and Mara River Crossing in 5 Day Tanzania and Kenya Safari?

Many travelers choose a 5 Day Kenya and Tanzania Safari Package hoping to witness the Great Migration, one of the most remarkable wildlife spectacles on Earth. Each year, more than 1.5 million wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles migrate between the Serengeti and Masai Mara in search of fresh grazing.

During the migration season, particularly from July to September, there is a chance to witness the famous Mara River crossing. This dramatic moment occurs when large herds attempt to cross crocodile-filled waters while predators wait nearby, creating one of the most thrilling scenes in the African wilderness.

Although river crossings cannot be guaranteed due to the unpredictable movement of the herds, a 5 Day Kenya and Tanzania Safari during migration season offers an exciting opportunity to experience this natural phenomenon while enjoying exceptional wildlife viewing across both countries.

Amazing Trip around Kenya and Tanzania

My wife and I did a 7-day safari with Active Wonders last August, visiting both Kenya and Tanzania, and honestly, we couldn’t be happier with how it all turned out. We got super lucky with our drivers and guides Patrick in Kenya and Six in Tanzania were awesome. They really know their stuff, driving like pros without even needing GPS, and they were amazing at spotting animals and finding the best views.

great 8- day safari in northern Tanzania

Overall, I had a great 8-day safari experience with Active Wonders Safari. Communication before and after the booking was always prompt and effective.
The lodges during our trip ranged from decent to good, and the food was mostly good sometimes even excellent.
When we booked our safari a few months in advance, our most preferred lodges were already fully

An adventure that was beyond my expectations. Brilliant

This was such an amazing trip that covered the Ngorongoro crater area with all its wildlife roaming freely the Serengeti and the migration of the Wildebeests crossing over into Kenya. Wonderful varied accommodation from well equipped tents with all amenities to hotels and lodges. Zebras lions with cubs bathing hippos leopards during the night safari and numerous birds including vultures waiting for their next meal. Elephants and giraffes were everywhere so all in all this was a fabulous tour.

Who could ask for more?

Being river crossing time of year our anticipation of this safari to begin our visit to Tanzania was high and was realised.
We departed Arusha and headed for Tarangire National Park. As expected the Elephants were prolific and backed up with many other wildlife to keep us happy as well. We stayed at Elephant Lodge which is constructed from old shipping containers. It was terrific, nice accomodation, food and lovely staff.

A dream come true for us, amazing safari trip!

We booked direct with Active Wonders (Allano) and from the very beginning, the communication has been great and he has been very transparent as well.
