| Guided safari option | Sample route from Arusha | Who it suits |
|---|---|---|
| 2 days, 1 night | Tarangire and Ngorongoro Crater | Travelers with limited time who want two different wildlife areas |
| 3 days, 2 nights | Central Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater | Travelers who want to include the Serengeti on a short trip |
| 4 days, 3 nights | Tarangire, Central Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater | First-time visitors who want to see three areas in one trip |
| 5 days, 4 nights | Tarangire, two nights in Central Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater | Travelers who want a full day of game drives in the Serengeti on a private itinerary |
Your price depends on the season, route, number of travelers, and accommodation. Sharing a vehicle can help solo travelers and couples keep costs down. On a private safari, ask for both the total group price and the price per person so you can compare packages on the same basis.
Sample Four-Day Guided Safari Itinerary
Day 1 · Arusha to Tarangire National Park
Meet your guide in Arusha and travel to Tarangire for a game drive. Look for elephants, giraffes, and zebras among the baobabs, and spend time around the river if wildlife activity draws your guide there. After the game drive, continue to your camp or lodge near the next day’s route.
Day 2 · Central Serengeti
Travel through the Ngorongoro highlands toward Central Serengeti. Once you reach the park, spend the afternoon looking for wildlife around the open plains and rocky outcrops. Stay overnight in the Serengeti at the campsite or tented camp listed in your quote.
Day 3 · Serengeti Morning Game Drive
Head out in the morning when temperatures are cooler. Your guide will look for fresh tracks and choose areas to explore based on wildlife activity. Later, leave the Serengeti and travel to your overnight accommodation near Ngorongoro, ready for the next day’s crater visit.
Day 4 · Ngorongoro Crater and Return to Arusha
Descend to the crater floor for a guided game drive. Scan the grasslands for buffalo and zebras, look for hippos around the pools, and keep an eye out for lions and black rhinos. Sightings vary from day to day. Return to Arusha after your crater visit. If you plan to fly out that evening, send us your departure details before booking so we can check the timing.
Shared or Private Safari?
Shared guided safari. Join a small group of up to seven guests with a window seat for each traveler. The group follows a set route with an English-speaking guide. This option works well if your dates are flexible and the scheduled itinerary covers the parks you want to visit.
Private guided safari. Travel with your own group, vehicle, and guide. You can discuss longer stops for photography, an extra night in the Serengeti, or accommodation that suits your family. A French- or Spanish-speaking guide can be requested, subject to availability.
What Does the Package Include?
The written quote will specify the parks, accommodation, meals, and transfers covered by your package. A typical guided safari quote lists:
- Game drives in a 4×4 safari vehicle with a pop-up roof and a professional driver-guide
- Park entry and crater service fees for the confirmed itinerary
- Accommodation and meals during the safari as listed in the itinerary
- Drinking water during game drives
- Pickup and drop-off points agreed before booking
Ask for separate prices for airport transfers, flights, extra nights in Arusha, and optional experiences such as a Serengeti balloon safari. Check the deposit, payment, and cancellation terms in your written quote before booking.
