Tarangire National Park is a classic Northern Tanzania destination, known for its massive baobab trees and the low-lying hills at the base of the Great Rift Valley. The park’s lifeline is the Tarangire River, the sole permanent water source in the area, which attracts a huge concentration of animals. This first day sets the standard for your journey into the wild. To see other exciting options, you can explore our full collection of safari tours here.
Tarangire is globally famous for its colossal elephant population, which is unmatched anywhere else in Africa. During your game drive, you can also look forward to spotting giraffe, buffalo, zebra, impala, wildebeest, warthog, baboons, and a variety of primates.
You will enjoy an exhilarating wildlife viewing experience from the open roof of your safari vehicle, followed by a picnic lunch within the park, including a tasty meal, coffee, and soft drinks.
After a full and rewarding safari in Tarangire, you will drive to your accommodation (tented camps/lodges), where you can relax, enjoy a delicious dinner, and spend the night.
After breakfast, we will drive to Serengeti National Park in the Central Seronera region. The Serengeti National Park is the largest park in Tanzania with diverse landscapes and habitats, such as grassy plains, swamps, lakes, savannah and mountains.
On the way, you will be able to view the beautiful Rift valley view of the Ngorongoro Crater as we pass through it and head for Serengeti Gates. The Serengeti is known for its endless plains of savannah and forest landscapes. The park is famous for the migration involving about 1.5 million herbivores and followers such as predators like lions etc.
We will have a break for picnic lunch before getting to Serengeti national park, where we will have an evening game drive before heading to your campsite or lodge at the center of Serengeti for dinner and overnight.
It’s the ideal place to unwind while watching birds or a herd of impala graze calmly around your camp site
Today we have fully day in most beautiful park in the world, Serengeti. After breakfast we will start our game drive and late afternoon we will stop for picnic lunch then continue with our game drive until sunset before back to our campsite / lodge for dinner and overnight.
On your 4th day after breakfast we will do a game drive on route while driving heading to Ngorongoro Conservation Area, a UNESCO world heritage site from 1978.
The Ngorongoro Crater is the world’s largest collapsed volcano crater, measuring fourteen kilometers in diameter and surrounded by natural splendor. The Ngorongoro Crater is ringed by ancient volcanoes, and its floor, filled with watering holes, is home to 30,000 species. We’ll also go to Lake Magadi, a big but shallow alkaline lake in the crater’s southwest corner that is one of the crater’s most prominent features. It is common to witness a huge number of flamingos, hippos, and other aquatic birds here.
You will do a game drive break for picnic lunch and late evening ascend from crater and drive to your tented camp or hotel Lodge in Karatu that is situated close enough to Lake Manyara national park, for dinner and overnight.
After breakfast, you will drive to your final destination on this epic safari, Lake Manyara National Park. This is a relatively small but diverse park, 120 km west of Arusha. It covers a large area of the park, flooding and drying with the seasons and is home to thousands of flamingos and over 500 other bird species.
Visitors can expect to see monkeys, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, buffalo, elephants, and with some luck lions lounging in the trees. The park is known for its diverse landscapes; not only open grassy plains but also primate-filled woodlands and baobab dotted cliffs. After an extensive drive, you will head back to Arusha or Moshi where you will arrive later in the evening.
