5 Days Tanzania Budget Safari With Serengeti

Edit Content

This is a 5 Days Tanzania Budget Safari With Serengeti (in a custom safari jeep with a pop-up roof) accompanied by a guide/driver & the chef.

This tour takes you around the famous north circuit parks, Serengeti (for 3 days) being the largest & famous for over a million wildebeest migrating alongside over 250000 zebras, then the Ngorongoro crater being the highlighted park with its beautiful landscapes & surreal view of the crater & it is easier seeing animals as it is a crater floor.
