4-Day The Great Awaits in Serengeti National Park

This 4-day African safari, specifically includes the Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park, and Ngorongoro Crater. It has been designed to offer you a short but intense Tanzanian Northern Circuit safari experience, for a shorter and time-constrained period of 4 days and 3 nights. You will experience the excitement of wildlife viewing in three of the most spectacular national game parks in Tanzania.

Day 1: Arusha to Tarangire National Park

After breakfast at your accommodation in Arusha, you will be met by our driver-guide who will deliver a short briefing, then you’ll head into the Tarangire National Park for a game drive. The park runs along the line of the Tarangire River and is mainly made up of low-lying hills on the Great Rift Valley floor. Its natural vegetation mainly consists of acacia woodland and giant African baobab trees, with huge swamp areas in the south. Both the river and the swamps act like a magnet for wild animals, during Tanzania’s dry season. The Tarangire National Park is reputed to contain some of the largest elephant herds in Africa. This national park is also home to three rare species of animals the greater Kudu, the fringed-eared oryx, as well as a few Ashy starlings. You’ll have a picnic lunch after which you’ll continue with the game until late evening. Then, you’ll drive to the Karatu Safari camp for an overnight stay.

Supported by a year-round water supply and fodder, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area supports a vast variety of animals, which include herds of wildebeests, zebras, buffaloes, elands, warthogs, hippos, and giant African elephants. Another big draw card to this picturesque national park is its dense population of predators, which include lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs, and the ever-elusive leopards, which sometimes require a trained eye to spot. A large number of flamingos, hippos, and other water birds can usually be seen here. In the late afternoon, you’ll transfer to the campsite for an overnight stay.
