Decription

If you only have 4 days but still want to visit the most famous parks of Tanzania (Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Manyara or Tarangire), this is the perfect tour for you. It only spends one night in Serengeti, which we usually think it’s too little, but if your time frame is short and you really want to visit this amazing park, then it is the right choice for you.

Day 01: Tarangire National Park

In the morning, you will be collected from your accommodation in Arusha by our knowledgeable guide. The drive is on a good tarmac road, across the gently rolling Maasai plains with scattered acacia trees. En route, you will pass many Maasai in their colorful dresses walking on the roadside, riding bicycles, herding their cattle and driving donkey carts.

Tarangire is well known for its large elephant herds. From the open roof of the vehicle, you will experience the seasonal swamps, savanna, and the Tarangire River. Go in search of many animals including zebra, wildebeest, buffalo, elephant and giraffe. It’s possible that you will glimpse lions stalking prey or leopards watching and relaxing in the trees above. After an extensive game drive, having experienced the various sights and sounds of the wilderness, you will leave the park and head to a nearby campsite. The camp is beautifully situated with troops of monkeys about the trees, where you will enjoy dinner and an overnight stay.

Main Destination: Tarangire National Park

Accommodation: Marera valley lodge

Day 02: Serengeti National Park

After an early breakfast, depart towards the most famous national park in the world, the Serengeti. The driving itself, although long, is spectacular. This will be an unforgettable moment for anyone seeing it for the first time. As you progress well into the Serengeti, you will see why the name means, in local language, “endless plains”. The park has 6,900 sq miles (18,000 sq km) and for most of it, the plains will stretch to the horizon defying your senses and perception of distances. It is the home of the Great Migration and to 2 million wildebeests, hundreds of thousands of zebras and all kinds of antelopes. As for big cats and large predators, it’s the place of choice to look out for lions, cheetahs, leopards, hyenas, with many television scenes like the famous River Crossings having been filmed in this park.

Main Destination: Serengeti National Park

ACCOMODATION: Serengeti Simba lodge

Day 03: Serengeti NP to Ngorongoro Creater

On this day, we will suggest a very early wake-up call-in order to do an early morning game drive (when the animals are more active) and to see one of the best sunrises you’ll ever witness. After the game drive, we’ll return to the camp for a rewarding brunch, and then we’ll proceed to Ngorongoro, the 8th Wonder of the Natural World. The crater spreads for 102 sq miles and has 2,000 ft high walls, making it virtually Noah’s ark and inhabiting almost every species of wildlife that is indigenous to East Africa. It’s one of the very rare locations in the whole continent where you can witness the black rhino. The crater has a river, several swamps, a soda lake with a great concentration of flamingos, a forest and open plains. It’s also famous for its elephants which, are the largest in the world and have huge tusks. Ngorongoro Crater is truly a Wonder of the Natural World. You will reach Ngorongoro in time for a sundowner.

Main Destination: Ngorongoro Crater

ACCOMODATION: Rhino lodge

Mid-range tented camp located on the crater rim of Ngorongoro Highlands

Day 04:

We will start the day very early and descend into the crater floor for an incredible morning of wildlife in one of the most stunning places on earth. After the game drive, there will be time for a picnic lunch near the beautiful Hippo Lake. After lunch, we will have time for a short game drive and then ascend the crater and exit Ngorongoro Conservation Area towards Arusha. We expect to be back in Arusha at around 5 pm although we are flexible in case there is a flight to catch or another situation.
