4-Day Safari in Tanzania Best of Big Five

Your safari begins with a morning pickup from your hotel in Arusha. Meet your professional safari guide, receive a short safari briefing and drive towards Tarangire National Park.

After entering the park, begin your first game drive through a landscape characterized by giant baobab trees, open grasslands and seasonal wetlands.

Tarangire is particularly famous for its large elephant herds. During the game drive, look for elephants, buffalo, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, impalas and numerous bird species.

Your guide will also search for predators such as lions and, with luck, leopards.

Enjoy a picnic lunch at a scenic location inside the park before continuing your afternoon game drive. As the temperature begins to cool, wildlife often becomes more active.

In the late afternoon, leave Tarangire and continue to your accommodation for dinner and relaxation.

After breakfast, depart for the legendary Serengeti National Park.

Travel through the beautiful landscapes of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area before entering Serengeti.

As you approach the park, the scenery transforms into vast open plains. Begin an en-route game drive, keeping your eyes open for wildebeest, zebras, giraffes, gazelles, elephants and predators.

Serengeti is particularly famous for its large lion populations, while leopards and cheetahs may also be encountered.

Your guide will select the best route according to wildlife movements and the season.

Arrive at your lodge or tented camp in the evening, enjoy dinner and relax beneath the African sky.

Today is dedicated to a full-day Serengeti wildlife experience.

Leopards are more elusive and may be found resting in trees or hidden in rocky areas. Your guide will carefully search likely habitats.
