Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a 4 Days Tanzania Road Safari cost?
The price depends on the number of travelers, accommodation category, season, safari vehicle, park fees and services included. Private safaris generally have different per-person costs from shared group safaris.
Where does the safari start?
Most road safaris begin in Arusha or Moshi, depending on your travel arrangements. Airport transfers can also be arranged where applicable.
Which parks are visited on this safari?
A typical itinerary visits Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. The exact route can be customized according to your interests and travel schedule.
Can I book a private 4-day Tanzania road safari?

Can I see the Big Five?
The northern Tanzania safari circuit provides opportunities to see the Big Five: lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rhino.

Can I see the Great Wildebeest Migration?
Depending on your travel dates, you may see migrating wildebeest and other grazing animals in the Serengeti. The herds move seasonally, so their exact location varies throughout the year.
