Our 3 Days Tanzania Safari from Arusha 2026, 2027 & 2028 can be arranged as a private safari and customized according to your travel dates, preferred accommodation and budget.
Your 3 Days Tanzania Safari from Arusha begins in the morning with pickup from your hotel in Arusha. After a short safari briefing, you will drive towards the Serengeti National Park.
The journey takes you through the beautiful landscapes of northern Tanzania before reaching the Serengeti. As you approach the park, the scenery opens into vast grasslands and you may begin spotting wildlife even before reaching your accommodation.
After entering the Serengeti, enjoy an afternoon game drive as you begin exploring this legendary wildlife destination. Depending on the season and location of wildlife, you may have opportunities to see lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, buffaloes, gazelles and other animals.
Continue with your game drive before heading to your lodge or tented camp for dinner and overnight.
Accommodation: Central Serengeti lodge or tented camp
Wake up early and enjoy breakfast before heading out for a full-day Serengeti wildlife experience. An early morning game drive provides an excellent opportunity to see wildlife when the animals are active and the temperatures are cooler.
The Serengeti is famous for its vast plains and remarkable wildlife. During your game drives, you may encounter large herds of wildebeest and zebras, elephants, giraffes, buffaloes and numerous antelope species. The Serengeti is also home to major predators including lions, cheetahs and leopards.
Your experienced safari guide will follow current wildlife movements and choose suitable areas for game viewing. Wildlife sightings vary depending on the season, weather and animal movements.
Enjoy a picnic lunch during the day before continuing your game drive. Later in the afternoon, leave the Serengeti and travel towards the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.
Arrive at your accommodation in the Ngorongoro or Karatu area for dinner and overnight.
Accommodation: Ngorongoro or Karatu lodge/tented camp
After an early breakfast, drive to the magnificent Ngorongoro Crater and descend into the crater for an unforgettable game drive.
The Ngorongoro Crater is a spectacular volcanic caldera and one of Tanzania's most remarkable wildlife destinations. The crater floor provides a unique setting for wildlife viewing, with grasslands, forests, wetlands and other habitats supporting a wide variety of animals.
During your crater game drive, you may see lions, elephants, buffaloes, zebras, wildebeest, hippos, hyenas and gazelles. With favorable conditions and some luck, you may also have the opportunity to see the endangered black rhinoceros.
Enjoy a picnic lunch during the crater experience before continuing your game drive. Later, ascend from the crater and begin your journey back to Arusha.
Your 3 Days Tanzania Safari from Arusha ends in Arusha in the late afternoon or evening, depending on the day's activities and road conditions.
This safari is perfect for travelers who want to concentrate on two of Tanzania's most famous wildlife destinations rather than trying to visit too many parks in a short period.
Spending more time in the Serengeti gives you a better opportunity to enjoy its incredible landscapes and wildlife, while the Ngorongoro Crater provides a completely different safari experience on the final day.
The combination of Serengeti and Ngorongoro is an excellent choice for couples, families, friends, honeymooners and first-time visitors to Tanzania.
The Serengeti and Ngorongoro can be visited throughout the year, with each season offering a different safari experience.
The dry season generally provides excellent conditions for wildlife viewing, while different periods of the year can offer opportunities to experience different stages of the Great Migration in the Serengeti.
If you are particularly interested in the wildebeest migration, we can help you choose the most suitable travel period and Serengeti area based on the expected seasonal wildlife movements.
