This Tanzania Safari offers an incredible 3-day journey through two of Africa’s most famous wildlife destinations—Serengeti National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater. Witness the endless golden plains of the Serengeti, home to the Big Five and the world-renowned Great Migration. Lions, elephants, cheetahs, and vast herds of wildebeest roam freely, creating an unforgettable safari experience. As the sun sets over the savannah, relax in a comfortable safari lodge or tented camp, surrounded by the sounds of nature.
On the second day, explore more of the Serengeti before heading to Ngorongoro Conservation Area, where the breathtaking crater awaits. This natural wonder, often called the "Eighth Wonder of the World," boasts one of the highest concentrations of wildlife in Africa. Descend into the crater for an up-close encounter with rhinos, lions, hippos, and countless other species thriving in this unique ecosystem. The lush landscapes and abundant wildlife make it a truly magical destination.
As your Tanzania Safari comes to an end, take in the final glimpses of this spectacular wilderness on your journey back to Arusha. Though brief, this safari is packed with unforgettable sights and thrilling encounters, making it the perfect choice for those seeking a taste of Africa’s incredible wildlife in just three days.
Your safari kicks off as you enter the iconic Serengeti National Park. This sprawling landscape is synonymous with untamed wilderness and the Great Migration. As you venture deeper into the park, your senses will come alive with the sights and sounds of the African savannah. Keep your camera ready, as you might spot lions, elephants, giraffes, and an array of other wildlife against the backdrop of endless plains. The first night will be spent at a comfortable lodge/camp, allowing you to relax and recharge for the days ahead.
Rise with the sun for a full day of exploration in the Serengeti. Traverse different habitats, from open grasslands to acacia-dotted terrain, each offering a unique chance to encounter diverse animals. Your expert guide will share insights about the park's ecology and the behavior of its inhabitants. During the afternoon, take a break at a scenic spot for a bush picnic surrounded by nature's splendor. As the day draws to a close, watch the sun dip beneath the horizon, casting a golden glow over the Serengeti. Another night in the lodge will allow you to reminisce about the day's remarkable sightings.
The grand finale of your safari takes you to the Ngorongoro Crater, often referred to as the "Eden of Africa." Descend into the vast caldera, a natural haven that cradles an incredible array of wildlife within its walls. The crater's unique ecosystem supports a thriving population of animals, including the rare black rhino. Capture photos of the diverse birdlife and capture the breathtaking panoramas from the crater's rim. Your game drive will be a crescendo of encounters, blending the majesty of the land with the thrill of wildlife spotting. As the day draws to an end, ascend the crater's rim with memories that will last a lifetime.

The cost of a safari is influenced by several important factors. These include the number of people in your group, the total number of days on safari, the category of accommodation (budget, mid-range, or luxury), park entrance fees, the type of safari vehicle, and whether it’s a private or shared tour. Additional elements like internal flights, special experiences (such as hot air balloon rides), and the time of year also play a role. For example, prices during the Great Migration season in the Serengeti are generally higher due to increased demand. Each safari quote is carefully crafted to match your preferences, making your experience both personal and flexible.
Yes, there are several ways to make your safari more affordable without compromising the experience. Traveling in a group is one of the easiest ways to lower costs, as expenses like vehicle use, fuel, and guide fees are shared. You can also choose budget accommodations, which are still comfortable and well located. Traveling during the low or shoulder season—outside of major holidays or migration peaks—can also significantly reduce costs. Additionally, opting for fewer days or choosing parks that are close to each other (like Tarangire and Lake Manyara) helps cut down on driving time and fuel expenses.
A safari becomes more expensive when you choose high-end lodges or tented camps, especially those with exclusive amenities like private plunge pools or personal butlers. Booking a private safari vehicle with a dedicated guide also increases the cost but offers a more personalized experience. Other price boosters include internal flights (which save time but come at a premium), visiting remote parks that require long drives or charter flights, and adding unique extras like hot air balloon safaris, Maasai village visits, or bush dinners. Peak season travel—typically from July to October or during the December holidays—also comes with higher rates due to demand.
Yes, joining a group safari is a great way to reduce the cost, especially for solo travelers or small groups. You’ll share the vehicle, guide, and some accommodation with others, which spreads out the fixed costs. Group safaris are also a fun way to meet fellow travelers from around the world, and many guests enjoy the social aspect. However, keep in mind that group tours follow a fixed itinerary, so if you’re looking for flexibility or privacy, a private safari might suit you better.
Absolutely! Many lodges and national parks in Tanzania offer discounted rates for children, and we always include these savings when planning a family safari. The exact age cut-off and percentage varies by provider, but typically children under 12 receive reduced rates on both accommodation and park entry. For families, we also recommend lodges with family-friendly facilities, child-safe environments, and flexible meal options to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for all.
Yes, we offer flexible payment options to make your safari planning stress-free. A small deposit is usually required to confirm your booking, especially for securing accommodations and park permits. After that, you’re welcome to pay the remaining balance in manageable installments before your travel date. We’ll work with you to create a payment schedule that suits your timeline and budget, so you can focus on getting excited about your adventure.
Our safari packages are mostly all-inclusive to give you peace of mind. Typically, the price covers all park entrance fees, government taxes, accommodation, daily meals (usually breakfast, lunch, and dinner), a professional English-speaking safari guide, and transport in a 4x4 safari vehicle with a pop-up roof for game viewing. Bottled drinking water during game drives is also included. Not included are items such as international flights, visas, personal travel insurance, alcoholic beverages, tips for staff, and optional activities not listed in your itinerary.
This depends on the safari option you choose. If you book a private safari, you will have the entire vehicle and guide to yourself or your group. If you join a group safari, you’ll be sharing the vehicle with other travelers who booked the same itinerary and dates. Group safaris are more cost-effective, while private safaris offer greater comfort, flexibility, and privacy—especially ideal for couples, families, or photographers.
We’ll make it crystal clear in your quotation and tour description. If it’s a private safari, you’ll see that the vehicle, guide, and accommodations are reserved just for you. For group safaris, we’ll mention the number of participants, fixed departure dates, and shared services. If you’re not sure which option is better for you, we’re happy to advise based on your travel style and budget.
