Best Time for the 6 Days Family Tarangire, Serengeti, Ndutu, and Ngorongoro Safari
The best period is generally late December to early March, when Ndutu becomes an important calving-season area. You can expect active wildlife and young animals on the plains. This period also overlaps with a short-rain season, so occasional rain is possible. Bring light rain protection while enjoying the green scenery and excellent wildlife opportunities.
Safari Vehicle for the 6 Days Family Tarangire, Serengeti, Ndutu, and Ngorongoro Safari
Airport transfers usually use a Toyota Alphard, which can carry approximately 1–6 people comfortably. For the safari itself, use a 4x4 Land Cruiser with an open roof, window seats, and six passenger seats. Transport from Arusha to the safari parks is included, while airport transfers can be arranged according to your preferred arrival and departure plans.
