Tour Overview
This 4-day itinerary runs during January–March, June–October and 15–31 December 2027, timed around Tanzania's peak dry-season game viewing, when wildlife concentrates around permanent water sources and visibility is at its best. The route covers Tarangire NP, Karatu, Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti NP, with accommodation in well-appointed mid-range properties including Njia Panda Tented Lodge and Sidai Serengeti Camp — a comfortable mid-range balance of quality and price.
Beyond the daily game drives, this specific departure includes an optional sunrise hot-air balloon safari, a Maasai boma cultural visit and a full descent onto the Ngorongoro Crater floor. Every day is run in a private 4x4 safari Land Cruiser with pop-up roof, alongside an experienced, English-speaking driver-guide for the full trip.
Departures run privately from Zanzibar, and the package covers park fees, VAT and the Tourism Development Levy. Group size is flexible — from a private couple's trip up to a full family or friends group, with an additional vehicle added for larger parties. Children aged 5–11 are welcome sharing with adults. Contact our safari consultants for a tailored 2027 quote for your preferred dates and room configuration.
