4 Days Tanzania Big Five

Whether you’re preparing for a Kilimanjaro summit or relaxing on the shores of Zanzibar, this add-on safari is the ideal way to complete your Tanzania adventure. With Tanzania Wildlife Voyages, a private guide will accompany you on an immersive journey through two iconic parks in northern Tanzania: the Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire National Park.

Ngorongoro Crater boasts Africa’s densest concentration of wildlife, making it one of the top places on the continent to encounter the Big Five. If elephants fascinate you, Tarangire National Park is unparalleled—its vast landscapes filled with ancient baobab trees shelter the largest gatherings of wild elephants in the world.

This exclusive safari with Tanzania Wildlife Voyages gives you full flexibility to travel at your own pace in a private safari vehicle, led by an experienced English-speaking guide.

When is the best time to visit Tanzania?

Many travelers often wonder about the best time to visit Tanzania. The truth is—there isn’t a single perfect answer. It really depends on what you want to experience, the regions you wish to explore, your budget, and personal preferences. Tanzania Wildlife Voyages has put together a detailed guide to help you decide the ideal time for your visit.

Dry Season (June to October & December to February):

These months are considered prime for both safaris and beach holidays. The weather is pleasant, and wildlife viewing is exceptional. However, do keep in mind that accommodation rates are higher, and popular parks and attractions can get crowded.

Mid Season (March & November):

If you prefer fewer crowds and moderate prices, this period is a great choice. The weather can be unpredictable, and certain sites may have limited access due to rains. Still, you can enjoy rewarding wildlife encounters and a more laid-back safari atmosphere.

Wet Season (April & May):

Best suited for budget travelers, this season comes with the lowest accommodation costs and the least crowded destinations. While heavy rains transform the landscapes into lush, green scenery, they may also cause disruptions to travel plans.

Tarangire National Park

Tarangire National Park

Tarangire National Park is famous for its large herds of elephants and the impressive baobab trees that dominate the landscape. These ancient trees, which can live for centuries, serve as a vital water source for elephants during the dry season, as they skillfully extract moisture from the trunks. The Tarangire River, being the only reliable water source during this time, attracts huge gatherings of wildlife — with herds of up to 250 elephants alongside countless other animals. Experience this incredible natural spectacle with Tanzania Wildlife Voyages.
