ITINERARY
DAY 1 ARUSHA TO TARANGIRE
Safari guide will pick you from your hotel after breakfast. You will then drive to Tarangire National Park. This transit drive is approximately two hours on good tarmac roads. The park is named after the Tarangire River which runs through it. This ‘river of warthogs’ is the only source of water for wildlife in the region during the dry season. The park is well known for its elephant families, which can often be seen congregating by the river. You may also see giraffes, bushbucks, and hartebeests. These animals are closely followed by a range of predators, including lions and leopards. There are more breeding species of birds found in Tarangire than anywhere else on the planet! The huge and ancient baobab trees can be seen here. Some of them are said to have lived for more than a thousand years.
Lunch will be at a picnic site inside the park. After your game drive, you will transit to your accommodation at FANAKA Campsite at Mto wa Mbuu
DAY 2: LAKE MANYARA
Following breakfast, transfer to Lake Manyara National Park. There is a profusion of wildlife in this small national park and the amazing bird watching experience will certainly be rewarding to both a devote and first-time bird watcher.
It is among the few places on the African continent to see the tree-climbing lions that will be your main quest for the day. In addition, Manyara takes pride in its large flock of beautiful pink flamingoes found near the lake. You will have lunch at the picnic site.
Your overnight stay will be at FANAKA Mto wa Mbu
DAY 3: KARATU TO SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK
After breakfast, enjoy a game en route to Serengeti National Park via Ngorongoro. Afterwards, we will visit the most famous wildlife sanctuary in the world, the Serengeti National Park. The word ‘Serengeti’ means ‘endless plains’, which describes the park’s 5,600 square mile boundary. For its sprawling area, the Serengeti does not disappoint when it comes to rich game-viewing. Annually, from May to December, millions of animals embark on a migration which brings them from central Serengeti to Kenya’s Masai Mara and back again in an incredible spectacle. Even during the ‘down-time’, vast herds of wildebeest, zebra and gazelle roam here, along with groups of elephant, giraffe, and buffalo. As the lions, leopards, cheetahs, hyenas and jackals stalk their meals, we’ll enjoy a picnic lunch in this open arena. Dinner and your overnight stay will be at Seronera Campsite.
DAY 4: SERENGETI TO NGORONGORO CRATER
After breakfast, have a morning game drive in Serengeti National Park with a picnic lunch, until noon, when you will have a game drive again to see the beauty of this great Park. In the afternoon after lunch, enjoy a game drive en-route to Ngorongoro Crater. You’ll have your dinner and overnight stay at Simba Campsite, Ngorongoro.
DAY 5: NGORONGORO CRATER BACK TO ARUSHA
After early breakfast at around 5:50 am, you’ll descend down crater at 6:00 am for 6-7 hours of game drive with a picnic lunch. We will venture onto the crater floor for an up close at the residents of this World Heritage Site, and enjoy a picnic lunch here. The Ngorongoro Crater provides great game-viewing all year-round.
