4-Day Luxury Tanzania Safari Package: Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire Northern Circuit Safari

4 Days Arusha, Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park, Lake Eyasi, Ngorongoro Crater Serengeti Wildlife Safari 5.0/5 from 9 reviews

Overview

Over 4 days, this route takes in the safari gateway town of Arusha, where most Northern Circuit trips begin and end; Tarangire, where dry-season elephant concentrations along the river rival anywhere else in East Africa; the Serengeti's endless plains, home to the largest overland wildlife migration on Earth and year-round predator activity; the Lake Eyasi basin, offering a cultural detour to meet the Hadzabe and Datoga communities living around the lake; and the Ngorongoro Crater, a collapsed volcanic caldera holding an estimated 25,000 large animals within its walls year-round 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 is the classic first-timer's route through Tanzania's most famous parks, built around the standard Northern Circuit sequence rather than a themed or niche variation.
