The adventure begins with a drive to Tarangire National Park, famous for its massive elephant herds and ancient baobab trees. On the second day, you travel toward the central Serengeti for an afternoon game drive and an overnight stay in the heart of the wilderness. The third day is dedicated to further exploration of the Serengeti plains before moving toward the Ngorongoro Highlands. The final morning features a descent into the Ngorongoro Crater for spectacular wildlife viewing before your return to Arusha.
Why should I choose a Tanzania open-air vehicle tour for my Tarangire and Serengeti trip?
Selecting a Tanzania open-vehicle safari to Tarangire and Serengeti ensures you have 360 degree visibility for the best photographic opportunities. This specific style of travel lets you hear the roar of the lions and the trumpeting of elephants without any glass barriers. It truly enhances the connection between the traveler and the wild environment over the course of four days.
What kind of accommodation is provided during the three nights of this northern circuit trip?
Guests stay in high quality tented camps or lodges that offer a blend of comfort and an authentic bush experience. Each facility features private bathrooms, hot showers, and comfortable beds to ensure you rest well after your game drives. Most sites are located in areas where you can hear the sounds of nature right from your room at night.
Is it possible to see the Big Five during this four day wildlife expedition?
This route covers some of the most wildlife rich areas in Africa, making sightings of the Big Five very likely. Tarangire is exceptional for elephants, while the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater are prime locations for lions, leopards, buffaloes, and the rare black rhino. Your experienced guide will use their expert tracking skills to help you find these iconic animals across the different ecosystems
What specific features do the open vehicles have for safety and comfort?
The vehicles are sturdy 4x4 Land Cruisers modified with open sides and a canopy roof to protect you from the sun. They are equipped with comfortable seating, charging ports for your devices, and a cooler box for refreshments. For safety, the vehicles have heavy duty roll cages and are operated by professional drivers who follow strict park regulations
Can I customize this 4-day safari to include a visit to a Maasai village?
Yes, we offer the flexibility to alter your schedule to include a cultural visit to a traditional Maasai boma. This activity usually takes place near the Ngorongoro Highlands and provides a unique opportunity to learn about their ancient customs and dances. It is a fantastic way to add a human connection to your natural world adventure.
What kind of meals are served during the four days in the national parks?
The package is full board, meaning all your breakfasts, lunches, and dinners are provided for the entire duration. 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. We can easily accommodate various dietary requirements such as vegetarian or vegan if you notify us during the booking process.
Is a hot air balloon flight an option during our time in the Serengeti?
A sunrise balloon safari can be arranged as an optional extra for your third morning in the park for an additional cost. You will float over the savanna for a bird eye view of the landscape before enjoying a champagne bush breakfast. It is highly recommended to book this in advance as spots are limited during the peak travel months.
When is the best time of year to book this specific northern circuit safari?
The dry season from June to October is perfect for seeing high concentrations of animals gathered around water sources in Tarangire and the crater. However, the green season from January to March is beautiful for seeing the migration calving and lush landscapes in the Serengeti. Each season offers a different but equally breathtaking view of the Tanzanian wilderness.
What essential items should I pack for an open-vehicle wildlife trip?
We recommend packing lightweight clothing in neutral colors, a warm jacket for the cool mornings at the crater rim, and a good pair of binoculars. Don't forget high factor sunscreen, a wide brimmed hat, and insect repellent to stay comfortable during the day. A high quality camera with extra memory cards is also vital to capture the stunning landscapes.
