Arusha - Tarangire National Park

Arusha - Tarangire National Park

Today, you’ll start your safari in Tarangire National Park with packed lunch. The park runs along the line of the Tarangire River and is mainly made up of low – lying hills on the Great Rift Valley floor.

Its natural vegetation mainly consists of Acacia woodland and giant African Baobab trees, with huge swamp areas in the south. Both the river and the swamps act like a magnet for wild animals, during Tanzania’s dry season.

The Tarangire National Park is reputed to contain some of the largest elephant herds in Africa. We will enjoy a picnic lunch inside the park and do two exciting morning and afternoon game drives, along the Tarangire River.

Later afternoons depart the park and drive and check in at Kizumba Campsite, which is located in Manyara Kibaoni at the Rift Valley Wall.

Day 3

Serengeti National Park - Ngorongoro Conservation Area

Serengeti National Park - Ngorongoro Conservation Area

Today we will have a half day game drive in Serengeti then after lunch we will drive to Ngorongoro Conservation Area. There are several documented resident lion prides just within a one-hour game drive radius from Seronera.

During the dry season, the resident prides begin to shift west and north in their territories and concentrate in the central region of the park. The dry season is a particularly good time for lion viewing in the Central Serengeti.

The Central Serengeti is also one of the best areas in Africa to spot the elusive leopard. You may be lucky enough to encounter this majestic cat in the branches of the sausage trees that dot the banks of the Seronera River. Dinner and overnight at Simba Campsite on full board basis.

Main Destination:
Ngorongoro Crater
Best Time To Visit June to October (Wildlife viewing is best)

Breakfast then descends into the Ngorongoro caldera very early in the morning to view the wildlife on the crater floor with picnic lunch box. The Ngorongoro Crater is often called “Africa's Eden” and the “8th Natural Wonder of the World”.

A massive extinct volcano, the sheet walls drop thousands of feet on the verdant floor below. Large herds of zebra, buffalo, antelope and wildebeest graze nearby while sleeping lions laze in the sun.

At dawn, the endangered black rhino returns to the thick cover of the crater forests after grazing on dew-laden grass in the morning mist. You will have lunch at the picnic site near Hippo Pool.
