The route
Why this one
Four days is enough to reach the Serengeti and stay there for a full day, which most short itineraries do not allow. Two nights in the same camp mean you unpack once.
Day by day
What happens, in order
Arusha to Tarangire
Two hours to the gate, then an afternoon among the baobabs. Tarangire holds the largest elephant population in the north.
Tarangire to Serengeti via Karatu
Across the Ngorongoro highlands and down onto the plains, arriving for a late-afternoon game drive.
Full day, Serengeti
A whole day in the park. Same camp tonight, nothing to pack.
Serengeti to Ngorongoro Crater to Arusha
Descend into the crater for a game drive on the floor, then climb out and return to Arusha.

Questions
Asked before every departure
Which month is best for this route?
June to October is dry and the game concentrates on water. January to March is green and quieter. April and May are the long rains — cheaper, and Tarangire in particular can be hard going.
Do we need a 4x4 for all of it?
Yes. Every UrbanWay departure runs a pop-top 4x4 with a guaranteed window seat for each guest.
