4 days Tanzania safari

On this 4-day Tanzania safari Serengeti and Ngorongoro , you will see an abundance of animals in Tanzania’s most well-known parks. Witness herds of elephants on their daily parade in the Tarangire, lions stalking their next prey in the Serengeti, and a crater filled with a haven of African wildlife in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.

What to Expect on a 4-Day Tanzania Safari

A 4-day Tanzania safari generally focuses on the highlights of the country’s most famous wildlife regions. The two main destinations you’ll likely visit are:

1. Serengeti National Park: Famous for its annual wildebeest migration and large populations of big cats, the Serengeti offers some of the best wildlife viewing in the world.
2. Ngorongoro Crater: Often referred to as the “Garden of Eden,” this UNESCO World Heritage site is a massive volcanic caldera that provides sanctuary for a wide variety of animals, including the endangered black rhino.

Some itineraries may also include a visit to Tarangire National Park, known for its large herds of elephants and impressive baobab trees, or Lake Manyara for bird watching and tree-climbing lions.

4-Day Tanzania Safari Packages

A typical 4-day safari itinerary will often look like this:

• Day 1: Arrival in Arusha and transfer to Serengeti National Park. Game drives in the Serengeti.
• Day 2: Full day of game drives in Serengeti, exploring the different ecosystems within the park.
• Day 3: Early morning departure for Ngorongoro Crater. Game drive in the crater before heading to your lodge for the night.
• Day 4: Optional morning game drive in Ngorongoro Crater, then return to Arusha or your next destination.

Factors That Influence the Cost of a 4-Day Tanzania Safari

The price of a 4-day safari in Tanzania can vary widely depending on several factors, including:

1. Time of Year: The peak season (June to October) coincides with the Great Migration in the Serengeti, which can increase prices due to higher demand. The low season (April to May) sees lower prices but might also bring more rain.
2. Accommodation Style: Safari lodges and tented camps range from budget options to luxury camps with private plunge pools and gourmet dining. Luxury accommodations naturally drive the cost higher.
3. Group Size: Private safaris are more expensive compared to group tours. If you’re traveling with a group, you can often get a discount on the overall price.
4. Inclusions: Some safari packages include additional services, such as a guide, park fees, meals, and drinks, while others might have these as optional extras.
5. Transport: The type of vehicle used also impacts the price. Customized 4×4 safari vehicles with pop-up roofs for game viewing tend to be more expensive, especially for private tours.

Price Range for a 4-Day Tanzania Safari

On average, a 4-day Tanzania safari package can cost anywhere from $1,500 to $4,000 per person, depending on the level of luxury and inclusions. Here’s a general breakdown of what you might expect:

• Budget Safari: $1,500 – $2,500 per person
  • Staying in basic lodges or campsites, using shared transport and group game drives.
• Mid-Range Safari: $2,500 – $3,500 per person
  • Staying in comfortable lodges or tented camps, with a mix of private and shared transport.
• Luxury Safari: $3,500 – $4,500+ per person
  • Staying in high-end lodges or luxury tented camps, private game drives, and premium services.

These prices generally cover accommodation, meals, transportation, park fees, and a professional guide. Optional activities such as hot air balloon rides in the Serengeti or a visit to a Maasai village would cost extra.

Best Time to Book a 4-Day Safari

The ideal time to visit Tanzania for a safari depends on your preferences:

• For the Great Migration: The best time to visit the Serengeti is between June and October when the migration is at its peak, and wildlife viewing is at its best.
• For Lower Prices: The green season from April to May sees fewer tourists and lower prices, but the chances of rain are higher. If you’re looking for a budget-friendly option and don’t mind a few showers, this can be an excellent time to visit.
• For Bird Watching: If you are a bird enthusiast, the wet season (November to April) is ideal as migratory birds flock to the parks.
