4 Days Tanzania Affordable Safari
If you feel you have limited time in Tanzania but you feel you would like to explore the Tanzania wilderness to the maximum, then our 4 Days Tanzania Affordable Safari is the best for you to take and it can be best taken from Arusha town to the destinations in the Northern Circuit (Manyara, Serengeti National Park, and Ngorongoro Crater). This four-day Tanzania affordable safari begins and ends in Arusha, where our safari driver will pick you up and drop you off at any hotel in Arusha and its surrounding areas. You simply need to tell us where you and they are, and we will make sure you enjoy this fantastic safari destination right away. This has been ranked as one of the best budget safari packages that you will ever find.
Where to begin and end our four-day affordable Tanzania safari, as well as where to stay
In addition to the 4 Days Tanzania Affordable Safari, we can also organize your airport pickup and drop-off as well as your lodging in Arusha if you’d want us to do so. This way, we can give you a comprehensive package. To keep costs down, the 4-day Tanzania lodge safari described in this package includes staying at some nice, hand-picked mid-range lodges and tented camps. However, you can still take the same package while staying at more opulent upper mid-range or standard luxury lodgings (lodge or tented camp), or even as a basic camping safari where you stay in dome-shaped tents at public camping grounds in and around the parks and wildlife areas. This will depend on your budget.
The safari tour can also be coupled with a 4-or 3-day climb of Mount Meru, or it can be added as a quick safari to a Mount Kilimanjaro climbing trip, which can take anywhere from 5 to 8 days depending on the path you pick to reach the summit of Africa’s highest mountain. Like our sample Tanzania Safari and Zanzibar packages on this list, the same package can also be paired with a trip to Zanzibar. If you’d like a lengthier tour, let us know what accommodations you’d like to use, and we’ll arrange one for you. If not, we’ll offer you this 4 Days Tanzania Affordable Safari just as it is.
Day 1. Arusha to Lake Manayara National Park.
You will be picked up from your Tanzanian lodge or hotel and driven over the Great Rift Valley to Lake Manyara National Park. Its name comes from the Maasai word for “euphorbia tirucalli,” a wild bush that is used to build a thorny hedge to protect their cattle, locally known as a boma, and which has rich vegetation and tropical forests of giant fig trees and mahogany trees. This little-known national park is home to herds of elephants, buffalo, Masai giraffes, zebras, and other antelopes. There are also numerous species of monkeys and a sizable population of hippos that live in the lake and explore the surrounding area. If you’re lucky, you might even catch a glimpse of the fabled tree climbing lions of Lake Manyara National Park, famed for their tree climbing proclivities, quietly relaxing on the limbs of an “Acacia tortilis” tree. Flamingos, pelicans, hornbills, and a variety of woodland species are among the plentiful bird species. Your driver will transport you to a lodge in Karatu for dinner and the night in the late afternoon. Spend the night at Eileen’s Tree Inn in Karatu. Dinner and a packed lunch are included.
Day 2. Lake Manyara National Park to Serengeti National Park
After breakfast, you go to Serengeti, one of the most well-known wildlife protection areas in the world, through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and the Malanja Depression. As your guide works through the paperwork, you will first stop briefly at the Naabi Hill Gate so that you can have a little stroll among the Naabi Hill Kopjes (giant granite boulders). The huge Serengeti National Park, named after the old Masai word “Siringet,” which roughly translates to “endless plains,” continues to offer game drives all day after lunch at the picnic area near the gate. The prairies are truly infinite. Spend the night at Osinon Serengeti Camp in Central Serengeti’s Seronera. Included are all meals.
Day 3. Drive from Serengeti National Park to Ngorongoro Conservation Area
Early-morning Serengeti game drive, with optional visits to the hippo pools and Seronera Visitor Center. After a filling breakfast in the bush camp, you’ll continue your Serengeti game drives by returning to Naabi Hill Gate until early afternoon, when you’ll cross back over to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and make your way to your lodge for supper and the night. The Eileen’s Tree Inn, a beautiful mid-range lodge in Karatu, will serve as our home base for the night. Included are all meals.
Day 4. Explore Ngorongoro and, thereafter, return to Arusha.
Following an early breakfast, you check in again at the Loduare Main Gate before entering the crater for a spectacular game drive (during which a picnic lunch is supplied) at a selected picnic location. You may expect to view numerous creatures up close, including lions, zebras, hippos, elephants, jackals, rhinos, and many other antelopes, as well as flamingos, many birds, and other species, because relatively few animals migrate in and out of the Ngorongoro Crater with its roughly 2000-foot-high walls. Your safari driver will be in constant communication with other safari guides, much like in the Serengeti, and he will astonish you with his special abilities to find hidden animals. After completing all of your game drives and according to your schedule, your driver will return you to Arusha and drop you off at your accommodation. This marks the end of your 4 Days Tanzania Affordable Safari.
