Your Affordable Tanzania Safari Itinerary
Day 1: Arusha to Tarangire National Park
Your safari begins with morning pickup from your Arusha hotel. Meet your guide and travel to Tarangire National Park for a game drive.
Tarangire is known for elephant families and striking baobab landscapes. Explore the park with your guide, stopping to observe wildlife and take photographs. Enjoy lunch during the excursion before continuing your afternoon game drive.
Later, leave the park and travel to your accommodation in the Mto wa Mbu or Karatu area for dinner and an overnight stay.
Accommodation: Public campsite or lodge, depending on your confirmed package.
Day 2: Travel to Serengeti National Park
After breakfast, begin the journey toward Serengeti through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. This is a substantial travel day, with changing scenery along the way.
Continue into Central Serengeti for an afternoon game drive, subject to arrival time. Your guide will search for wildlife while introducing you to the landscape and helping you understand animal behavior.
After the game drive, head to your campsite or tented accommodation for dinner.
Accommodation: Serengeti public campsite or tented camp, depending on your package.
Day 3: Serengeti Game Drive to Ngorongoro
Start early for another game drive in Serengeti. Morning wildlife viewing provides time to explore before beginning the journey toward Ngorongoro.
After your game drive and lunch arrangements, leave Serengeti and continue toward your overnight accommodation near the crater.
A shared four-day itinerary generally includes one night in Serengeti. If you would prefer two or more nights there, request a private itinerary with additional time for game drives.
Accommodation: Ngorongoro public campsite or an agreed lodge.
Day 4: Ngorongoro Crater to Arusha
Following an early breakfast, descend into Ngorongoro Crater for your final game drive. Explore the crater floor with your guide and enjoy a picnic lunch during the excursion.
Wildlife sightings depend on the conditions on the day. Your guide will help you make the most of the available viewing opportunities.
After the game drive, begin the return journey to Arusha. Share any onward flight details before booking so we can advise on suitable departure arrangements.
End of safari: Arusha, with airport transfers arranged according to your quotation.
