Overview
This 4-day, 3-night fly-in itinerary covers three of Tanzania's most famous parks — the Serengeti, Tarangire, and the Ngorongoro Crater — using light-aircraft transfers to make the most of a short time frame.
If the Serengeti is your main priority and time is genuinely limited, flying directly there cuts out the driving days a standard circuit would involve, letting you spend more of your short trip actually on safari. The itinerary closes with a transfer back to Arusha and on to the airport for your departure flight.
This is a good option for travelers who want a real taste of the Northern Circuit's best-known parks without the time commitment of a longer overland safari.
