4 Day Touch of Wilderness Serengeti Safari
If you only have 4 days but still want to visit the most famous parks of Tanzania (Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Manyara or Tarangire), this is the perfect tour for you. It only spends one night in Serengeti, which we usually think it’s too little, but if your time frame is short and you really want to visit this amazing park, then it is the right choice for you.
The Ngorongoro Crater is the world’s largest uninterrupted caldera and one of Africa’s natural wonders. The crater is home to about 30,000 large resident mammals (such as buffaloes, lions, elephants, cheetahs, and rhinos) and many varieties of birds (such as flamingos, eagles, and buzzards. Keep your camera ready and be ready to see many animals within a short time!
The Serengeti National Park has accommodations located in five specific migration focused areas as noted below. The park also has various seasonal mobile accommodations located in distinct areas of the park that tracks the wildebeest migration movement. Select your preferred region to view individual details of your lodge or camp including mobile camps.

Day to Day Activities
Day 1: Lake Manyara National Park:
You’ll be picked up from your hotel at 8 am and start a beautiful journey across the Great Rift Valley for a full day game drive. Although small in dimension (205 sq miles), the park has breathtaking scenery and is well famous for its lush acacia forest, giant figs and mahogany trees, as well as to a growing population of baboons and blue monkeys. Permanent residents of this park include giraffes, elephants, impalas and a huge number of buffaloes. In the afternoon, return to the camp for dinner.
Day 2: Serengeti National Park
After an early breakfast, depart towards the most famous national park in the world, the Serengeti. The driving itself, although long, is spectacular. This will be an unforgettable moment for anyone seeing it for the first time. As you progress well into the Serengeti, you will see why the name means, in local language, “endless plains”
Day 3: Serengeti National Park to Ngorongoro Crater
On this day, we will suggest a very early wake-up call in order to do an early morning game drive (when the animals are more active) and to see one of the best sunrises you’ll ever witness. After the game drive, we’ll return to the camp for a rewarding brunch, and then we’ll proceed to Ngorongoro, the 8th Wonder of the Natural World. Ngorongoro Crater is truly a Wonder of the Natural World. You will reach Ngorongoro in time for a sundowner. There is a possibility to upgrade your accommodation level.
Day 4: Ngorongoro Crater
We will start the day very early and descend into the crater floor for an incredible morning of wildlife in one of the most stunning places on earth. After the game drive, there will be time for a picnic lunch near the beautiful Hippo Lake. After lunch, we will have time for a short game drive and then ascend the crater and exit Ngorongoro Conservation Area towards Arusha. We expect to be back in Arusha at around 5 pm although we are flexible in case there is a flight to catch or another situation.

YES! Overall, it is entirely possible to have an epic safari on both a high and low budget. If you don’t mind foregoing certain frills and sticking to a larger, easier-to-reach national park, then the low end offers a unique opportunity for adventure that certain seasoned travelers prefer.
The most convenient option is to fly from Arusha to one of the park’s seven airstrips. It is also possible to book an overland safari in a 4×4 safari vehicle from Arusha to Serengeti National Park and visit one or two other parks along the way.
Short answer: no. Public restroom facilities are few and far between within national parks. If the call of nature hits while you’re out on safari and you can’t hold it until you get back to camp, you’ll be paying a stop to the bush toilet.
The North of the Serengeti is hugely popular due to the high-quality campsites and also because it is by far the best place to see the herds of the Great Migration. The North is also the chosen region for safari aficionados because it’s one of the finest regions for a walking safari as well as driving.
