What to Expect

Day 1: Moshi/Arusha → Tarangire National Park

Your adventure begins early as your driver-guide picks you up from Moshi or Arusha.

Within a few hours, you’re surrounded by the magnificent baobab forests and elephant herds that make Tarangire famous.

Spend your day exploring riverbanks, grassy plains, and wildlife-rich woodlands. Expect to see elephants, giraffes, lions, buffaloes, zebras, wildebeest, and countless bird species.

Overnight: Campsite or budget lodge near Tarangire
Meals: Lunch & Dinner

Day 2: Tarangire → Serengeti National Park

After breakfast, enjoy a scenic drive toward the legendary Serengeti — passing through rural villages, highlands, and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.

Upon entering Serengeti, you’ll begin your game drive immediately.

The landscape of endless plains is home to lions, cheetahs, hyenas, leopards, elephants, and vast herds of grazing animals.

If you’re lucky, you may witness the Great Migration, depending on the season.

Day 3: Full Game Drive in Serengeti → Ngorongoro

Wake up to stunning sunrise views and enjoy a morning game drive — the best time for predators and big cats sightings.

Your guide will help you track wildlife hotspots, giving you the chance to see lions on the hunt, cheetahs sprinting across the plains, or elephants wandering through acacia trees.

Later in the afternoon, you’ll exit Serengeti and head toward the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, arriving at your accommodation on the crater rim.

Day 4: Ngorongoro Crater → Moshi/Arusha

Today is one of the highlights of your safari. After an early breakfast, descend into the world-renowned Ngorongoro Crater — often described as the “Eden of Africa.”

Inside the crater, wildlife viewing is incredibly easy thanks to the dense concentration of animals.

Expect lions, hippos, buffaloes, zebras, hyenas, flamingos, and — with a bit of luck — the rare black rhino.

After your game drive and picnic lunch, you will begin your trip back to Moshi or Arusha, marking the end of an incredible four-day adventure.

Please Note:

At Affordable International Travel, we want you to have a clear understanding of how safari accommodations work so you can choose the experience that fits your travel style and budget.

Room Type & Sharing Policy

Our tours are priced based on shared accommodation in twin or double rooms as the default option. If you prefer your own room, a single supplement can be arranged upon request.

Meals Included

Hotels in Arusha and Moshi typically provide breakfast only, unless a different meal plan has been arranged for your booking. Your itinerary will clearly indicate what is included each night.

Drinks at Safari Lodges

Most safari lodges do not include drinks such as tea, coffee, sodas, wine, or beer. This helps keep package costs fair—you only pay for what you choose to drink. Beverages are available for purchase at lodge restaurants and bars.

About Tented Lodges (Common in Safari Areas)

Tented camps are the most authentic way to experience the savannah. Many operate with solar power, so you may find:

  • Bucket showers instead of pressurized hot-water systems

  • Limited or slower Wi-Fi

  • No hair dryers or high-voltage appliances

These eco-friendly practices help protect wildlife habitats and reduce the lodge’s environmental footprint. We kindly recommend reading about the camps in your itinerary to ensure their style matches your comfort preferences.

Pricing Transparency

Your final safari cost may vary depending on:

  • The type of accommodation you choose (budget / mid-range / luxury)

  • Availability during your travel dates

  • Room configuration (shared or single)

We’ll always share options clearly and help you choose what fits your budget best.
