4-Day Luxury Tanzania Safari: Tarangire, Serengeti & Crater
A private 4-day luxury safari from Arusha: a night in Tarangire, two nights in the Serengeti and a morning on the Ngorongoro Crater floor, staying in luxury lodges and tented camps.
Four Days, Done Beautifully
Short on time but not on standards? This safari covers the north's three most famous parks in four days, with the comfort of luxury camps and lodges: spacious tents or rooms, excellent food and attentive staff after each game drive.
It suits honeymooners, travellers adding a few days of safari to a beach stay or a business trip, and anyone who prefers fewer days in more comfort. In the Serengeti you can add a sunrise balloon flight.

Questions Travellers Ask
Is 4 days enough?
It is enough to see Tarangire, the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater, with two nights in the Serengeti. If you can, our 7-day luxury safari gives more time in each park.
Why do other 4-day luxury safaris cost less?
Many use mid-range lodges. We price real luxury lodges and tented camps, which cost much more per night.
Can we fly back instead of driving?
Yes. You can fly from the Serengeti to Arusha or Zanzibar on day 4 instead of visiting the crater; ask us for a price.
Can we add a balloon flight?
Yes, on day 3, for about 599 US dollars per adult (2026, set by the balloon operator).
