Where this 4 day Tanzania safari takes me ?

This tour will take you to the four most popular national park in Northern Tanzania :

You will head north toward Tarangire National Park. This vast park is home to a number of animals, including lions, cheetahs, elephants and hyenas. With over 40 mammal species and 500 bird species, it’s easily one of the best parks in which you can explore with your binoculars. The national park is also famous for its tree-climbing lions, which can often be seen high up in acacia trees

Serengeti National Park the capital of wildness. Serengeti National Park is one of Africa’s most famous parks and one of its largest at 14,763 square kilometers. That makes it slightly smaller than Switzerland. You really can’t go wrong with Serengeti National Park; after all, it holds some of the highest density populations for lions and elephants in all of Africa. The park encompasses both grasslands and savannah; visitors will even get a chance to see wildebeest in their massive annual migration across Tanzania into Kenya in search for greener pastures.

There’s no better way to get off-the-beaten path than by visiting Tanzania’s one-of-kind, massive Ngorongoro Crater. The spectacular natural landmark will provide you with an incredible array of wildlife sightings and unforgettable scenery that you can’t experience anywhere else in Tanzania (or maybe even in all of Africa).

This 4 day Tanzania safari has something for everybody.
