3 Days Tanzania Safari in August to Serengeti Safari

July is the heart of the dry season, so wildlife congregates around the Tarangire River in massive numbers. You will see huge elephant herds and predators easily because the grass is short and gold. This weather also ensures clear, stunning views into the depths of the Ngorongoro Crater during your morning descent.

Tarangire is world famous for having one of the highest concentrations of elephants on the entire continent. During the dry month of July, it is common to see hundreds of these gentle giants digging for water in the dry sandy riverbeds. It is a spectacular sight that remains a favorite highlight for many of our visitors.

The Ngorongoro Crater is one of the best places in Africa to see the endangered black rhino in its natural habitat. Because the area is a contained ecosystem, your chances of seeing one during your two day adventure are very high. Our guides are experts at tracking these elusive animals across the grassy plains of the crater floor.

We use 4x4 safari Land Cruisers that are specifically modified with pop up roofs for optimal 360 degree viewing. These vehicles are equipped with charging ports for your cameras and a fridge for cold drinks. Every traveler is guaranteed a window seat to ensure the best possible photography opportunities throughout the journey.

Depending on your preference, you will stay in a comfortable lodge or a luxury tented camp near the Karatu area. This location is strategically placed between the two parks to reduce travel time on the second morning. Most accommodations offer hot showers and delicious multi course dinners to help you relax after a day in the bush.

Yes, we can easily alter the itinerary to include a cultural visit to a traditional Maasai boma. This activity usually takes about an hour and allows you to learn about local traditions and traditional dancing. It is a wonderful way to complement your wildlife sightings with a touch of authentic Tanzanian culture.

We provide full board meals, including a hot dinner at the lodge and fresh picnic lunches to enjoy in the parks. Bottled drinking water is available throughout the entire trip to keep you hydrated in the July sun. If you have specific dietary needs like vegan or gluten free options, just let us know in advance.

July is winter in Tanzania, so mornings and evenings at the crater rim can be quite cold. You should bring a warm jacket, a hat, and light layers that you can remove as the day gets warmer. Do not forget high factor sunscreen and binoculars to get a better look at distant predators.

We can arrange a guided walking safari with an armed ranger if you wish to experience the park on foot. This extra activity provides a closer look at the smaller details like animal tracks and medicinal plants. It is a thrilling way to stretch your legs before heading to the crater for the final leg of your journey.
