A 4-day Tanzania Safari is a fantastic way to explore some of the country's most iconic wildlife parks. You can enjoy a mix of the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire National Park, or adapt it depending on your interests.
Key Highlights:
- Ngorongoro Crater: A must-see destination, home to one of the highest concentrations of wildlife in the world, including the rare black rhino.
- Serengeti National Park: Famous for the Great Migration (especially from June to October), Serengeti also offers excellent opportunities to see predators like lions, cheetahs, and leopards.
- Tarangire National Park: Known for its stunning baobab trees and large herds of elephants, it’s a fantastic start to the safari.
Best Time to Visit:
- Dry Season (June - October): This is the best time for game viewing, as animals gather around water sources. It’s also the time to witness the Great Migration in Serengeti.
- Green Season (November - May): Fewer crowds, lush landscapes, and great birding, but some roads in the parks can be less accessible due to rain.
Accommodation Options:
- Lodges: From mid-range to luxury options, lodges in each park provide excellent amenities and comfort.
- Tented Camps: For a more authentic experience, tented camps allow you to feel closer to nature while offering luxury.
Additional Notes:
- Game Drives: Your safari will typically include both morning and afternoon game drives, with plenty of opportunities to spot animals and take photos.
- Transport: Depending on the safari package, you may be driven in a 4x4 vehicle with a knowledgeable guide or have the option for light aircraft flights between parks.
