4 days Tanzania Safari

4-Day Serengeti & Ngorongoro Focus Safari

This short safari removes extra park stops and puts more attention on Serengeti and Ngorongoro. It is designed for travelers who would rather spend two nights in Serengeti than race through four destinations. The route works especially well for big-cat enthusiasts and photographers with only four safari days.
