Day 1

Arusha Town to Lake Manyara National Park

Arusha Town to Lake Manyara National Park

Pick up from your hotel at 0830am and drive to Lake Manyara Park for game drives with picnic lunch boxes, dinner and overnight at Manyara Serena Hotel.

Lake Manyara National Park is a small but scenic safari park, excellent for birdwatching and a good area to find elephant, as well as the potential excitement of spotting a legendary Lake Manyara tree-climbing lion.
Lake Manyara is a good soft introduction to the safari experience. It is a magical and pretty park that winds its way around a mainly forested driving route between the banks of soda water lake and the impressive rise of the Great Rift escarpment.
Elephant, giraffe, buffalo and wildebeest can be found grazing in unexpected clearings or heading towards the water to drink or wash, and the rivers and riverbeds provide scenic vistas for possible animal spotting.
Warthogs seem to thrive here, growing notably fat and tuskered, and it is a natural playground for baboons and monkeys.

Main Destination:
Lake Manyara National Park
Best Time To Visit June to October (Easier to spot animals)
High Season July to March (The northern section gets crowded)
Best Weather June to October (Little rainfall)

Day 2

Serengeti National Park

Serengeti National Park

After breakfast depart for Serengeti park with picnic lunch boxes, game drives en-route towards Serengeti park game, dinner and overnight at Serengeti Serena Lodge

This land is justifiably famous for its huge concentrations of wildlife, especially the big cats, as well as being the stomping ground of the Great Migration, a massive accumulation of 1.5 million wildebeest, 200,000 zebras and 350,000 gazelles stretching their legs over 1,200 miles in an annual race to find enough water and green grass for their survival. The National Park is broadly divided into three distinct areas, the Seronera Valley and Seronera River, the Western Corridor and the Northern Lobo area that extends northwards through the Lamai Wedge to the Maasai Mara. Most visitors enter the Serengeti through the southern Naabi Hill Gate, which opens onto the Seronera Valley; a vibrant wildlife area at the heart of the Serengeti.

Main Destination:
Serengeti National Park
Best Time To Visit January to February and June to October (Different areas are best at different times)

Day 4

Serengeti to Ngorongoro

Serengeti to Ngorongoro

After breakfast Serengeti park game drives, hot lunch at Lodge, then drive to Ngorongoro for dinner and overnight at Ngorongoro Serena Lodge

Ngorongoro is a fascinating and unusual Conservation Area which includes the Ngorongoro Crater at its Centre, and then extends through the Crater Highlands, in which local tribes are permitted to maintain their traditional lifestyles in as natural environment as possible.

This extraordinary volcanic landscape is rich and fertile, with stunning craters and lakes, and the high altitude creates a malaria-free micro climate.

-The Ngorongoro Crater is the world's largest intact caldera in an exceptional geographical position, forming a spectacular bowl of about 265
sq km with sides up to 600m deep. It is the stalking ground of 20 - 30,000 wild animals at any one time.

Main Destination:
Ngorongoro Crater
Best Time To Visit June to October (Wildlife viewing is best)
High Season Most of the year – July to March (Expect crowds)

Day 5

Ngorongoro Crater to Tarangire Park

Ngorongoro Crater to Tarangire Park

After breakfast Ngorongoro Crater game drives with picnic lunch boxes, later afternoon drive to Tarangire National park for dinner and overnight at Tarangire Sopa Lodge

It's the greatest concentration of wildlife outside the Serengeti ecosystem - a smorgasbord for predators - and the one place in Tanzania where dry-country antelope such as the stately fringe-eared Oryx and peculiar long-necked gerenuk are regularly observed.

But Tarangire mobs of elephant are easily encountered, wet or dry. The swamps, tinged green year round, are the focus for 550 bird varieties, the most breeding species in one habitat anywhere in the world.

On drier ground you find the Kory bustard, the heaviest flying bird; the stocking-thighed ostrich, the world's largest bird; and small parties of ground hornbills blustering like turkeys.

Ngorongoro Crater
Accommodation:
Tarangire Sopa Lodge
  • Mid-range lodge located inside Tarangire NP
