1 LAKE MANYARA NATIONAL PARK
2 NGORONGORO CRATER
3 NDUTU CONSERVATION AREA
4 SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK
An extraordinary journey to discover the beginning of the eternal cycle of the Great Migration, where life and death meet: the exciting “synchronized” parts of wildebeests and zebras.
Upon your arrival at Kilimanjaro (or Arusha) airport, just outside the main exit, you will be met by the guide of our Tanzania safari tour operator which will take you to your Lodge in Arusha. If you have time, you can take a tour of the city, accompanied by the guide. Alternatively, relax in the hotel with dinner and overnight stay.
Depart early in the morning to drive through the Great Rift Valley to Lake Manyara National Park, where you will go on a daytime safari. (Approximate transfer time Arusha•Manyara: 2 h 30 min) Lake Manyara is one of the smallest parks in Tanzania (330 km²), but it has a lot to offer. The lake and the surrounding area constitute an ecosystem renowned for its richness in plant and animal species. The vegetation is very varied, with areas of evergreen forests, stretches of savannah, swamps and hot springs (Maji Moto). The fauna includes numerous elephants, baboons, wildebeests, zebras, giraffes, hippos, large flocks of pink flamingos and other species. The park is also home to leopards, hyenas and the famous Manyara lions that have the habit of climbing trees in this area. At the end of the game drive, transfer to the Lodge/Tented Camp for dinner and overnight in Karatu. (Approximate transfer time Manyara•Karatu: 1 h)
EXTRA ACTIVITY: TREETOP WALKWAY
In the morning, immediately after breakfast, you will start the game drive in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, declared WORLD HERITAGE SITE (UNESCO 1978) AND INTERNATIONAL BIOSPHERE RESERVE (1981). (Approximate transfer time Karatu•Ngorongoro Conservation Area: 30 min) The area has become a real ecosystem, thanks to the good rainfall, the ponds, the small lakes and internal streams, the night fog that surrounds and feeds the forests of the slopes of its famous crater. After a short stop at the crater rim, you will descend to the bottom of the caldera for a photo safari dedicated to the discovery of one of the most beautiful places on Earth, where nature is sovereign and “unchanged over time”. The 265 km² caldera has the highest concentration of wildlife on the continent. It is one of the very rare places where you can meet the black rhino. After lunch near the lovely hippo lake, you will head up the crater to reach the Lodge/Tented Camp for dinner and overnight between Lake Ndutu and the South Serengeti. (Approximate transfer time Ngorongoro Crater•Ndutu: 2 h 30 min)
EXTRA ACTIVITIES: MAASAI BOMA • OLDUVAI GORGE MUSEUM
Departure in the morning to the Serengeti, considered the most famous national park in the world and among the best to visit during a safari in Tanzania, cradle of the Great Migration, where one of the most impressive natural cycles on the planet is renewed every year: tens of thousands of ungulates move, guided by the primordial instinct for survival, in constant search of new pastures. The landscape, dotted with large acacias and Kopjes (mounds of ancient rocks), is the ideal habitat for big cats. As you go deeper into the heart of the Serengeti, you will understand why the name means, in the Maasai language, “boundless plain”. Your safari will continue, thanks to the skill of our guide, to discover the park where there will be no shortage of opportunities for the sighting of families of giraffes and elephants, large prides of lions, leopards, cheetahs, hyenas and smaller ones such as foxes, mongooses, honey badgers, jackals, along with more than 500 species of birds. The game drive will end in the afternoon with transfer to the Lodge/Tented Camp for dinner and overnight.
The following day will be entirely dedicated to exploring the park with morning and afternoon safaris. In the late afternoon return to the Lodge/Tented Camp for dinner and overnight stay.
EXTRA ACTIVITY: BALLOON SAFARI
In the morning, after a short game drive, you will return to Arusha/Kilimanjaro in the late afternoon to catch the return flight that will conclude your 7 day safari in Tanzania. Along the way you will have the opportunity to go shopping to buy gifts and souvenirs in the characteristic local shops and bazaars.
(Approximate transfer time Serengeti•Arusha: 6 h • Serengeti•Kilimanjaro Airport: 7 h)
However, we are flexible and available in case of special needs, such as early flight or other.
