Day 1

Moshi or Arusha National Park

Moshi or Arusha National Park

The Northern safari circuit tour will begin with a visit to Arusha National Park. The game drive will take you along the shores of Lake Momella and into the bush, home to the Ngurduto Crater. Buffaloes, waterbucks, giraffes, warthogs, zebras, and gazelles are seen here all year round. Leopards and elephants are elusive in Arusha, yet there is a chance of seeing them.

The Northern safari circuit, known for creating unforgettable moments, provides more than spectacular game drives. We will go on a journey of education and adventure. The stroll allows you to feel Africa's dynamic pulse through the soles of your feet and encounter the bush at its heart. An armed ranger will escort the stroll. He will bring you through the lush forest to the crystal waterfall and to the location where you may see the black and white colobus monkeys. Spend the night at a camp near Arusha National Park.

Ngorongoro Crater to Lake Manyara National Park

Only a few safari destinations produce the same experience as the Ngorongoro Crater; the game viewing is effortless. Most animals remain within the crater due to its high walls. This is the perfect location to view every member of the "Big 5"’ in one day. We will have a wonderful picnic lunch inside the crater. The unfilled caldera is also home to hyena, hippo, zebra, wildebeest and an impressive variety of waterbirds. Your guide will enlighten you by sharing facts about the animals, vegetation and locating hidden animals. Fanaka Camp will provide competent camping facilities.

Manyara provides the perfect introduction to Tanzania’s birdlife. More than 400 species have been recorded, and even a first-time visitor to Africa might reasonably expect to observe 100 of these in one day. Inland of the floodplain, a narrow belt of acacia woodland is the favored haunt of Manyara’s legendary tree-climbing lions and impressively tusked elephants.
