4 Days Safari in Tanzania Tour – DETAILED SAFARI ITINERARY.
Day 1 of the 4 Days Tanzania Wildlife Safari Serengeti & Ngorongoro: Drive to Serengeti National Park & evening game drive
After breakfast, we proceed to the Serengeti endless plains by way of the lush Ngorongoro Crater Highlands.
The name “Serengeti” comes from the Maasai word siringitu, which means “endless plains”. You will see why once you see its ocean of grassland savannas stretching to the horizon as far as your eye can see. However certain parts also are covered in the Acacia savanna, densely wooded hills or rocky outcrops are known as kopjes, as well as pans and lakes. The abundance of African wildlife is of course what makes it such a sought-after safari destination, and includes healthy populations of lion, buffalo, impala, hippo, waterbuck, elephant, cheetah, leopard, and a host of other game species – not to mention the more than 400 species of birds.
We will arrive in Serengeti for an afternoon game drive searching for wildlife. Later in the evening, we will drive further to the camp for evening leisure and hot dinner.

Day 2 of the 4 Days Tanzania Wildlife Safari Serengeti & Ngorongoro: Unlimited game drive in Central Serengeti National Park
The entire day is dedicated to game viewing in the Serengeti National Park Tanzania. Predators include lions, leopards (in the acacia trees) and cheetahs are seeing in this great park. During the short rainy season in November and December, the herds move from the hills in the north to the plains in the south. During the longer rainy season from April to June, they return up central heading west. As the migration is completely dependent on the yearly rainfalls, the location of the herds may vary from year to year.
After a full day wandering through the Serengeti central plains, you will head back to your camp for evening leisure and hot dinner.

As soon as you have reached the edge of the crater rim, the crater appears half a mile below you inviting you to gaze at this jaw-dropping natural wonder. When you reach its edge and view its 100 square mile expanse, it is a sight to behold.
We will be getting out of the Tanzania safari jeep to enjoy the view while having a walking safari along the crater rim for an hour. Afterward, you will proceed to Karatu for dinner.

Ngorongoro Crater is the world’s largest volcano caldera formed three million years ago and is considered one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the world and one of Africa’s most remarkable geological sites.
The Big Five (rhino, elephant, Cape buffalo, lion, leopard) and most of the animal species found in the Serengeti, including zebra, hippos, wildebeest, and cheetahs, can be viewed close up. The Ngorongoro Crater ecosystem maintains the historic balance between people and nature in a way that is not possible in other parks.
