How many days should be spent on a safari?
Three days will be sufficient to visit Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara or Tarangire. A more realistic time period is 7 to 8 days. Don’t try to include the Serengeti in less. If time is limited, fly one way. Don’t rush. Map distances are deceptive in Tanzania as only the main trunk roads are tarred. Allow an average speed of 70 k.ph. for straight driving. In the National Parks the speed limit is 50 k.p.h.
