Tour Overview

Tanzania is known around the world for its wildlife, and a safari here stays with you. Whether you love adventure or care most about comfort, there's a place to stay in Tanzania that suits you. Our 4 Days Tanzania Mid-Range Safari brings together nature, wildlife and comfort. You'll see the famous animals and stay in very good lodges that make the trip feel a little extra special.

If you're short on time but still want to see Tanzania's wildlife, our 4 Days Tanzania Mid-Range Safari is a good fit. The tour starts and ends in Arusha and takes you to three of Tanzania's best-known wildlife areas:

  • Tarangire National Park: Your first stop. Tarangire is known for its big baobab trees and large elephant herds, especially in the dry season, and it's a good place to spot zebras, giraffes and lots of birds. You'll stay in a comfortable mid-range lodge or tented camp, so you get the bush and a good night's sleep.
  • Serengeti National Park: Next you drive to the Serengeti, famous for its wide grass plains and its huge variety of wildlife. It's known for lions, leopards and the Great Migration of wildebeest. You'll have exciting game drives by day and a relaxing, well-equipped mid-range lodge at night.
  • Ngorongoro Crater: Last, you visit the Ngorongoro Crater, one of the largest volcanic calderas in the world. Up to 30,000 animals live here, including rhinos and elephants. You'll stay in a nearby mid-range lodge, a comfortable place to rest after a full day of game viewing.

Highlights

  • 4 days of game drives across Tanzania’s most iconic parks.
  • Opportunity to see the Big 5 up close.
  • Explore the Serengeti National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater – two of Africa's most famous wildlife destinations.

    Breakfast at around 0800am. Proceed with morning and afternoon game drives in the Serengeti with a lunch and leisure break at the Camp in the midafternoon. The term Serengeti means endless plains in Masaai language. In the central plains there are carnivores like leopard, lion, hyena and cheetah. This park is normally the scene of the annual migration of wildebeest and zebra that occurs between the Kenyan Mara and the Serengeti. Varied bird species can be seen here including eagles, ducks, geese, egrets, vultures, secretary birds, ibis, stork, herons, kites, pelicans, cranes and guinea fowl. The Serengeti National park is an arguably the best known wildlife sanctuary in the world with over 3 million large mammals. About 35 species of plains animals can be seen there including the “big 5” - Elephant, Rhino, Lion, Leopard and Buffalo. Other common species found here includes hippo, giraffe, eland, impala and other antelope types, baboons, monkey and a profusion of over 500 species of birds. In May or early June, huge herds of wildebeest, gazelle and zebra begin their annual spectacular migration northwards. In their wake follow predators, lion, cheetah and wild dogs with vultures circling overhead! Come back for dinner and overnight.

    Optional

    If you like to watch wildlife from another perspective, we recommend you to go on a balloon safari. It is an amazing experience to drift silently above the plains with herds of wildlife.
    The hot-air balloon gently takes you up in the air and floats wherever the morning winds may take you. During the ride you have a stunning and far-reaching view of the great plains of the Serengeti. From here you can spot big herds of wildebeest, giraffes and prides of lion’s right below you. At the right time of year and with a good amount of luck you might even be able to experience the great migration from above.

What Our Travelers Say About Our Tours

  • Highly Experienced and Wonderful Crew

    The 7 days Lemosho route Kilimanjaro trek exceeded our expectations. The route is so beautiful and we enjoyed tackling the mountain with experienced guides - Bakari and Nickson. They were supportive from start to finish in all the aspects of the trek, starting with the technical strategy on the speed, rests and ensuring that we were healthy through regular checks.

  • Absolutely Beautiful Memories For My Family

    Traveling with my 6 members of my family of ages between 8 and 73 is always a complex task with many moving parts. We had to arrange for Mama and Poppas dietary restrictions, accommodations, easy access for Mama and off-course places with a pool and kids activities for Lil Poppa and his teenage sister Anna.

  • The Best Experience Absolutely

    We could not have asked for a better experience on Kilimanjaro. Everything about this trip with this local operator was top notch. Starting with the booking with Naick who made it smooth and easy with his timely responses and advice. Payment was easy and they took care of all the logistics that all we had to do was present ourselves at the KIA.
