🗺️ Detailed Itinerary – 4 Days Tanzania Big 5 Safari Package

📍 Day 1: Arusha – Tarangire National Park

As you enter the park, get ready for your first thrilling game drive where you’ll encounter elephants, lions, impalas, warthogs, and more. Tarangire’s river attracts diverse wildlife, making it perfect for spotting predators and prey alike.
Overnight stay in a comfortable lodge or camp near Lake Manyara or Karatu.

📍 Day 2: Tarangire – Serengeti National Park

After breakfast, set off for the iconic Serengeti National Park, a land of endless plains, home to over 2 million wildebeest and countless predators. The drive itself is a scenic journey through the highlands and Ngorongoro Conservation Area.
Upon entering Serengeti, begin your afternoon game drive in search of the Big Cats — lions, leopards, and cheetahs. Expect to see zebras, giraffes, elephants, and possibly the elusive leopard hiding in the acacia trees.
Spend the night in a tented camp or lodge deep within the Serengeti.

Arrive at Ngorongoro Highlands in the afternoon, where you’ll relax and soak in the panoramic views of the crater below. Overnight at a lodge or camp near the crater rim.
