Why does this itinerary spend so long in the Serengeti?
The park is large enough that different sectors offer genuinely different scenery and wildlife patterns - three days lets you properly explore more than one.
Is this better than our 9-day northern circuit?
They're similar in scope; this one weights extra time toward the Serengeti specifically rather than adding a fifth park.
Can this be shortened?
Yes, our 6-day highlights safari covers the same four parks in less time.
