4-Day Mid-Range Safari in Tanzania – Tarangire, Serengeti & Ngorongoro
After breakfast at your Arusha hotel, check out and transfer to the safari office for a short briefing. Meet your experienced mid-range safari driver-guide who will accompany you throughout this incredible journey. Depart Arusha with packed lunches and drive to Tarangire National Park, the first destination on your mid-range safari route.
Enjoy an en-route game drive in Tarangire, a park nourished by two rivers that attract a dense population of wildlife. These rivers serve as lifelines, especially during the dry season, and provide great opportunities to spot elephants, zebras, giraffes, and more. The picturesque baobab trees and acacia woodlands further enhance the park’s beauty. In the late afternoon, exit the park and transfer to Twiga Lodge, your cozy accommodation offering just the right comfort for a mid-range safari experience.

After breakfast, embark on a morning game drive in Tarangire National Park. The park, the third largest in Tanzania, is famed for its immense elephant population and seasonal migration. This mid-range safari morning provides you with the chance to witness big cats and massive herds converging at the Tarangire River.
The swamps in the park are alive with birdlife—expect to see green wood hoopoes, kingfishers, lovebirds, kori bustards, and even ostriches on the dry plains. This part of your mid-range safari offers a perfect mix of large mammals and vibrant avian life. After the game drive, proceed to the Serengeti, a highlight of any mid-range safari in Tanzania. Arrive in the late afternoon and take time to relax after a rewarding day of exploration.
Accommodation: Shuhudia Adventure Camp

After breakfast at the lodge you will head out for an en route game drive in the Serengeti plains, have the chance to spot the big cats as they come back from an early morning hunt or as the small game such as gazelles and antelopes rise to start grazing. Drive to Ngorongoro crater which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Have an opportunity to visit the local Maasai village at an extra cost or decide to spend the afternoon taking in the beautiful view of the sun set and landscape. Bonfire, dinner and overnight at the lodge.

MEALS: Breakfast, lunch and dinner
Today marks the final chapter of your mid-range safari. After an early breakfast, descend 610 meters into the Ngorongoro Crater for a game drive in one of Africa’s most biodiverse wildlife areas. The crater floor offers consistent game sightings, including the rare black rhino, giant elephants, lions, leopards, hyenas, jackals, wild dogs, and more.
More than 500 bird species, from flamingos to eagles, have been recorded in the crater, adding another layer of wonder to your mid-range safari. After an enriching 5-hour game drive, enjoy lunch and ascend the crater walls. Drive back to Arusha with your camera full and heart fulfilled.
