The Important Stuff
-
Day 1 – Arusha to Lake Manyara or Tarangire
Leave Arusha and begin your safari in either Lake Manyara or Tarangire National Park, chosen according to the season and your preferences. Spend the day on game drives before continuing to your accommodation for the evening.
Day 2 – Journey to the Serengeti
Travel deeper into Tanzania’s northern safari circuit towards the Serengeti, with wildlife viewing and spectacular landscapes along the way. Arrive in one of Africa’s most celebrated wildlife regions for an afternoon game drive and overnight in or near the park.
Day 3 – Serengeti Game Drives
Spend the day exploring the Serengeti, with your guide adapting the game drive around current wildlife movements and conditions. Depending on the season, this may include areas associated with the Great Migration as well as year-round resident wildlife.
Day 4 – Ngorongoro & Return to Arusha
Continue towards the Ngorongoro Conservation Area for a final wildlife experience before returning to Arusha. Alternatively, flights can be arranged from the Serengeti to Arusha, Dar es Salaam or Zanzibar, reducing road travel and making it particularly easy to continue your journey to the coast.
PPTC note: There is no single way to build a four-day safari. Your route can be adjusted to spend more time in the Serengeti, substitute Tarangire or Lake Manyara, include Ngorongoro, or incorporate fly-in/fly-out options to maximise time on safari.
