How Many Days Do You Need for a Tanzania Safari?

Four to five days

Enough for Tarangire, the Ngorongoro Crater and a taste of the Serengeti. Expect some long drive days.

Six to eight days

The sweet spot. Three nights in the Serengeti, a full crater day, and time that does not feel rushed.

Nine days or more

Room for the northern Serengeti, a Zanzibar finish, a Kilimanjaro climb or the southern parks.
