Experience three legendary northern Tanzania wildlife destinations on a carefully balanced four-day private safari. Begin among Tarangire’s elephant herds and ancient baobab trees, continue across the famous Serengeti plains for extensive predator and plains-game viewing, and finish with a descent into the Ngorongoro Crater. This itinerary is ideal for first-time Tanzania safari travelers who want the essential northern circuit highlights without committing to a full week on safari.
A clear day-by-day look at your safari experience.
Meet your professional safari guide and travel to Tarangire National Park. Explore baobab-dotted landscapes and the Tarangire River ecosystem while searching for elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, zebras, antelopes, lions and rich birdlife. Enjoy a picnic lunch and continue game viewing before proceeding to your safari lodge.
After breakfast, travel toward the Serengeti through the northern Tanzania highlands. Enter the Serengeti ecosystem and begin an afternoon game drive across open plains and wildlife-rich habitats. Search for lions, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes, buffaloes and large plains-game herds before continuing to camp.
Spend the morning exploring the Serengeti when wildlife activity can be especially rewarding. Your guide will select productive areas according to current conditions and animal movements. After lunch, continue game viewing while traveling toward the Ngorongoro highlands for your overnight stay.
Descend into the Ngorongoro Crater for an extensive game drive across grassland, woodland and wetland habitats. Look for lions, buffaloes, elephants, zebras, wildebeest, hippos, hyenas and, with luck, black rhino. Enjoy lunch in the conservation area before ascending and returning to Arusha.
