3-Day Luxury Tanzania Safari Package: Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire Family Safari

3 Days Dar es Salaam, Mikumi National Park, Ruaha National Park Serengeti Wildlife Safari 5.0/5 from 9 reviews

Overview

Over 3 days, this route takes in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania's largest city and the usual starting point for Southern Circuit safaris; Mikumi's Mkata floodplain, often compared to the Serengeti in miniature for its open sightlines; and Ruaha National Park, Tanzania's largest national park and one of its least-visited, known for large elephant and lion populations at the luxury comfort level.

Accommodation throughout is premium lodges or luxury tented camps, often with private decks or plunge pools, with a private pop-up-roof 4x4 exclusively for your group and driver-guide. This tier is built around top-tier camps, a private vehicle for the whole trip, and a slower, more indulgent pace between game drives.

This particular departure is planned with families in mind: game drives are paced to avoid long unbroken driving stretches, and camps on this route are chosen for being comfortable with children rather than adults-only.
