Explore Tarangire & Serengeti on a 4-day Northern Tanzania safari. Enjoy thrilling game drives, diverse wildlife, and breathtaking landscapes.
What to See: During this 4-day adventure, you will explore some of Tanzania’s most iconic wildlife destinations.
Tarangire National Park is known for its large herds of elephants, ancient baobab trees, and diverse wildlife such as lions, leopards, giraffes, zebras, and over 500 bird species.
Serengeti National Park is home to the legendary Great Migration (seasonal), where thousands of wildebeest and zebras cross the vast plains. You may also spot the Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, rhino) along with cheetahs, hippos, crocodiles, and an incredible variety of birds.
Ngorongoro Crater is a natural wonder and UNESCO World Heritage Site, boasting one of the highest concentrations of wildlife in Africa. Expect to see black rhinos, large lion prides, flamingos at the crater lake, and a variety of other animals in this enclosed ecosystem.
How to Dress on Safari:
Comfort and practicality are key. Wear neutral-colored clothing (khaki, green, brown) to blend with the environment and avoid attracting insects. Choose lightweight, breathable clothes for warm days and a fleece or jacket for chilly mornings and evenings. Comfortable closed shoes or hiking boots are ideal for game drives and optional nature walks. A wide-brim hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen will help protect against the sun, and a light rain jacket is useful if traveling during the green season.
What to Carry on Safari:
Bring binoculars for better wildlife viewing, a camera with extra batteries and memory cards to capture unforgettable moments, and a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated. Insect repellent is essential to protect against bites, along with personal medications and a basic first aid kit. A small backpack will be useful for carrying daily essentials.
Best Time to Travel & Safari Seasons: Tanzania offers great safari experiences year-round, but each season has its own advantages.
The dry season (June - October) is the peak safari season, best for wildlife viewing as animals gather around water sources. The skies are clear, there are fewer mosquitoes, and it’s a great time for the Great Migration river crossings (July - September) in northern Serengeti.
The green season (November - May) offers lush landscapes and fewer crowds. It is the best time for birdwatching with migratory species arriving. The calving season (January - March) in Serengeti attracts predators, and the scenic landscapes come with fewer tourists and lower safari prices.
