3 Days Tanzania Safari from Dar Es Salaam to Serengeti Safari

Since Dar Es Salaam is far from the northern parks, the most efficient way to enjoy a Serengeti two-night getaway is by taking a domestic flight. We arrange for you to fly directly from Julius Nyerere International Airport to one of the bush airstrips within the park. This saves you many hours of driving and ensures you maximize your wildlife viewing time.

You can expect to encounter the famous Big Five, including lions, leopards, and elephants roaming the vast grasslands. The park is also home to huge herds of wildebeests and zebras, especially during the migration seasons. Our expert guides will take you to the most active spots to ensure you see a diverse range of wildlife.

While the migration moves throughout the year, a two-night stay allows you to visit the heart of the action where the herds are currently gathered. Our guides monitor the movement of the animals daily to position you in the best possible viewing locations. This timeframe is perfect for a focused and intense wildlife experience on the plains.

We typically book high-quality tented camps or luxury lodges located right inside the national park boundaries. These accommodations offer en-suite bathrooms, comfortable beds, and a true immersion into the sounds of the African bush. Sleeping in the heart of the park means you are ready for early morning game drives as soon as the sun rises.

Once you land at the airstrip, you will be met by a customized 4x4 safari Land Cruiser with a pop-up roof for optimal viewing. These vehicles are designed for the rugged terrain and provide every passenger with a window seat for great photography opportunities. They also come equipped with a fridge for cold drinks and charging ports for your electronics.

Yes, we can alter the itinerary to focus on specific interests like birdwatching or professional photography. If you want to celebrate a special occasion like a birthday or anniversary, we can arrange for a private bush dinner or a sunrise balloon flight. A customized Serengeti experience allows you to set the pace that best suits your travel needs.

All mandatory national park entry fees, transit permits, and your return flight tickets from Dar Es Salaam are covered in the package cost. You will not have to worry about any hidden expenses or administrative tasks during your journey. This ensures a seamless transition from the city to the wilderness for your short holiday.

We provide full-board meals including breakfast, picnic lunches, and hot multi-course dinners at your accommodation. The menus feature a blend of local flavors and international dishes prepared by professional chefs. Fresh drinking water is always available in the vehicle to keep you hydrated during your game drives.

Even though Dar Es Salaam is hot and humid, the Serengeti can be quite cool in the early mornings and late evenings. We recommend bringing light layers, a warm jacket, and neutral-colored clothing for the game drives. Essential items include high-factor sunscreen, a wide-brimmed hat, binoculars, and a good camera with extra memory cards.

On the final day, you will enjoy a morning game drive before being transferred back to the bush airstrip for your return flight. This allows you to spend as much time as possible with the animals before heading back to the city. You will arrive in Dar Es Salaam in the late afternoon, giving you plenty of time for your onward travel plans.
