4-Day Midrange Wilderness Safari Explore Tanzania’s Iconic Parks

Start your day with an early breakfast before meeting your safari guide, who will escort you to a luxury 4x4 Land Cruiser to begin your adventure.

Tarangire National Park, famously known as the “Home of Elephants,” is renowned for its massive elephant herds—up to 300 in a single group—scraping the riverbeds in search of water. The park’s diverse wildlife includes lions, leopards, giraffes, zebras, and over 500 bird species, all set against the stunning backdrop of baobab trees and open savannahs.

Enjoy a picnic lunch surrounded by the park’s serene wilderness before continuing your game drive. By evening, retreat to the cozy Suricata Boma or Jungle Peal, where you’ll enjoy a hearty dinner and a relaxing overnight stay.

After breakfast, head to the world-renowned Ngorongoro Crater, the largest unbroken volcanic caldera on Earth and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Often referred to as the “Eighth Wonder of the World,” the crater is a haven for wildlife. Here, you’ll have the chance to witness the Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, rhinoceros, and buffalo) along with hippos, cheetahs, wildebeests, zebras, and more.

Enjoy lunch at a scenic picnic spot within the crater before resuming your game drive, exploring the crater rim with breathtaking views and exciting wildlife sightings. Return to Jangle Pearl Lodge or Suricata Boma in the evening for dinner and relaxation.

Your final safari day begins with breakfast before setting off for Lake Manyara National Park, a short one-hour drive from Ngorongoro.

This picturesque park is home to the stunning Lake Manyara, famous for its vibrant flocks of flamingos. The park also hosts diverse wildlife, including tree-climbing lions, baboons, hippos, and elephants.

After a morning game drive and a picnic lunch, continue exploring the park’s lush forests and grassy plains. By late afternoon, your guide will drive you back to Arusha. Depending on your schedule, you can spend another night at Forest Hill Hotel or proceed directly to the airport for your departure.
