Overview
Three days is enough to cover Tanzania’s two most famous parks properly: a game drive across the Serengeti’s central plains, then a full morning inside the Ngorongoro Crater, one of the most concentrated wildlife arenas on Earth. It’s the classic short introduction for travellers with limited time who still want the real northern circuit experience.
