4 Days Safari In Tanzania Itinerary
Day 1: Arusha to Tarangire National Park
After breakfast, your professional safari guide will pick you up from your hotel in Arusha or Moshi. You will receive a short safari briefing before driving to Tarangire National Park for your first game drive.
Explore the park’s beautiful landscapes while searching for large elephant herds, lions, giraffes, zebras, buffaloes, antelopes and many bird species. Tarangire is especially known for its giant baobab trees and seasonal wildlife concentrations around the Tarangire River.
Enjoy a picnic lunch inside the park before continuing with an afternoon game drive. Later, leave the park and travel to your selected lodge or camp for dinner and overnight.

Best Time for a 4 Days Safari In Tanzania
A four-day Tanzania safari can be enjoyed throughout the year. Each season offers different landscapes, wildlife behavior and safari experiences.
The dry season from June to October generally provides excellent wildlife viewing because animals gather around rivers and permanent water sources. The weather is usually dry, and vegetation is less dense, making animals easier to spot.
From January to March, the southern Serengeti and Ndutu areas become important for the wildebeest calving season. This period attracts predators and provides dramatic wildlife encounters.
The green season from November to May offers lush landscapes, excellent birdwatching, fewer visitors and beautiful photography conditions. Short rains and occasional showers may occur, but game viewing remains rewarding.

During this 4 Days Safari In Tanzania, you may encounter lions, elephants, buffaloes, leopards, cheetahs, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, hippos, hyenas, warthogs, baboons, monkeys, gazelles, impalas and many bird species.
