4 Days Tanzania Big Five Safari: Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro

Your adventure begins with a visit to Tarangire National Park, which is famous for its massive elephant herds. On the second day, you will head to the Serengeti plains for an immersive wildlife experience and an overnight stay. The final two days are dedicated to further exploration of the Serengeti and the magnificent Ngorongoro Crater before returning to Arusha

While animal sightings are never guaranteed in the wild, this specific route covers the most densely populated areas for lions, leopards, elephants, buffaloes, and rhinos. The Ngorongoro Crater is a natural sanctuary where seeing these creatures in a single day is very common. Your professional guide will use their expert tracking skills to help you find every animal on your list.

You will stay in handpicked luxury tented camps or lodges that offer a blend of comfort and an authentic bush feel. These facilities feature private bathrooms, hot showers, and comfortable beds to ensure you rest well after your adventures. Most of these sites are located within or very close to the park boundaries to keep you near the action.

Tarangire is often called the land of giants because of its ancient baobab trees and enormous elephant populations. During the dry season, the Tarangire River becomes a magnet for diverse wildlife, providing excellent viewing opportunities. It serves as a fantastic introduction to the northern circuit before you reach the vast plains of the Serengeti

We provide a customized 4x4 Land Cruiser with a pop-up roof to ensure everyone has an unobstructed 360 degree view of the animals. The vehicle is equipped with a fridge for cold drinks, charging ports for your cameras, and a long range radio. It is specifically maintained to handle the rugged Tanzanian terrain comfortably

Yes, you can easily request an alteration to your schedule to include a cultural visit to a traditional Maasai boma. This experience usually takes place near the Ngorongoro Highlands and offers a chance to learn about ancient customs and dances. It is a wonderful way to add a human connection to your natural world adventure.

A sunrise balloon safari can be arranged as an optional extra for your third morning in the Serengeti. You will float over the savannah for a bird eye view of the landscape before enjoying a champagne bush breakfast. This activity provides a peaceful and spectacular contrast to the ground based drives.

The package is full board, which means your breakfasts, lunches, and dinners are provided throughout the four days. You will enjoy hot meals at the lodges and high quality picnic lunch boxes during your game drives to maximize your time in the field. If you have specific dietary needs, simply let us know during the booking process.

We recommend packing lightweight clothing in neutral colors, a warm jacket for the cool mornings, and a good pair of binoculars. Don't forget high factor sunscreen, a hat, and insect repellent to stay comfortable during the sunnier parts of the day. A high quality camera with extra memory cards is also vital to capture the stunning landscapes.

We provide complimentary pick-up and drop-off services from Kilimanjaro International Airport or Arusha Airport for all our guests. Our team handles the logistics based on your flight schedule to ensure a smooth start and end to your trip. This professional service allows you to focus entirely on the wildlife sightings
