Day 1: Arusha or Moshi – Tarangire National Park – Karatu
Your 4 Days Tanzania Safari in April begins with an early morning pick-up from your hotel in Arusha or Moshi. Meet your professional safari guide before travelling toward Tarangire National Park.
Upon arrival, enter the park and begin your game drive. Tarangire is famous for its elephants, ancient baobab trees and diverse wildlife.
As you explore, you may encounter elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, buffaloes, antelopes and lions. The park is also home to many bird species.

The Great Migration is a natural movement of wildlife across the Serengeti ecosystem. Herd locations change according to rainfall, food availability and animal movements, so sightings and specific locations cannot be guaranteed.

Day 4: Serengeti – Ngorongoro Crater – Arusha or Moshi
After an early breakfast, leave Serengeti and continue toward the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Descend into the Ngorongoro Crater for a memorable game drive.
The crater floor contains grasslands, wetlands and other habitats that support many wildlife species. You may see lions, buffaloes, elephants, zebras, wildebeest, hippos, hyenas and numerous birds.
Enjoy a picnic lunch before continuing your exploration. Later, ascend from the crater and begin your journey back to Arusha or Moshi.

Your guide will monitor current animal movements and choose suitable areas for game drives. Depending on conditions, you may encounter large herbivore herds as well as predators such as lions, cheetahs and leopards.
