4 Days Tanzania Safari in February to Serengeti & Ngorongoro

February is an exceptional month because it marks the peak of the wildebeest calving season in the southern Serengeti plains. You will witness thousands of newborns taking their first steps while predators like lions and cheetahs are highly active. The weather is generally dry and sunny, providing beautiful lighting for your wildlife photography. It is widely considered one of the best times for an action packed wildlife experience.

The Ngorongoro Crater is a natural haven where you have a very high probability of spotting lions, elephants, buffaloes, and the rare black rhino in a single day. When combined with the Serengeti, your opportunity to find leopards draped over acacia branches increases significantly. Your professional guide will use their tracking expertise to help you locate all five iconic species during the four days. We prioritize visiting areas with the highest animal concentrations to ensure a successful journey

You will travel in a sturdy 4x4 Land Cruiser specifically designed for the rugged Tanzanian terrain. The vehicle features a pop up roof for 360 degree views and internal charging ports to keep your cameras powered throughout the day. We also provide a cooler box with cold bottled water to keep you refreshed during the warm savanna journeys. Each car is well maintained to provide a safe and comfortable ride.

A sunrise balloon safari can be organized over the central Serengeti for a spectacular aerial perspective of the wandering herds. This activity usually takes place on the third morning and is followed by a celebratory champagne breakfast in the bush. It is a fantastic way to appreciate the vastness of the plains from a completely different angle. Please note that this requires an additional booking and is subject to weather conditions.

We offer a variety of options including luxury lodges and permanent tented camps that place you right in the heart of the action. These accommodations feature private bathrooms, hot showers, and comfortable beds to ensure you rest well between your adventures. Staying in these locations allows you to hear the sounds of the African night while enjoying modern comforts. We handpick properties that offer the best views and service.

We can easily alter the schedule to include a cultural visit to an authentic Maasai boma near the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. This experience allows you to learn about traditional customs and see how the local people live in harmony with the surrounding environment. It adds a beautiful human dimension to your wildlife focused holiday without taking away too much game viewing time. It is a very popular addition for those interested in local heritage.

During this month, the massive herds usually occupy the southern Serengeti and the Ndutu area for the birthing season. This 4-day Tanzania safari in February is perfectly timed to place you in the center of the action where thousands of calves are born daily. Your guide will navigate the best tracks to ensure you are in the heart of the migratory movement. This phenomenon attracts a high density of predators, making for intense sightings.

Your package covers full board meals, starting with a picnic lunch on the first day and ending with lunch on the final afternoon. You will enjoy hot dinners and breakfasts at your lodge, prepared with fresh local ingredients by professional chefs. We can also accommodate various dietary requirements such as vegetarian or gluten free options if you let us know your preferences in advance. You will never have to worry about staying energized for your game drives.

We recommend packing light layers because the temperature can change quickly between the hot savanna and the chilly crater rim. Essential items include a warm jacket for morning drives, a wide brimmed hat, and high factor sunscreen. Comfortable walking shoes and neutral colored clothing are also vital for a better experience in the bush. Since space in the vehicle is limited, we suggest using a soft duffel bag.

The trip typically begins with a pickup from your hotel in Arusha or directly from Kilimanjaro International Airport on the first morning. After four days of exploring the parks, your guide will drive you back to Arusha or drop you off at the airport for your flight. We handle all the logistics to make the transition from your arrival to the wild as smooth as possible. Our team will meet you with a sign and assist with all your luggage needs.
