3 NGORONGORO CRATER
4 SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK
5 LAKE NATRON
A unique and fascinating adventure through some of the most emblematic parks in Tanzania, to discover unspoiled nature in a unique habitat, where fauna is the real protagonist of this experience.
On this 9-day Tanzania safari you will have the opportunity to visit the most iconic parks of Tanzania’s northern safari circuit: Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti National Park and Lake Natron.
Upon your arrival at Kilimanjaro (or Arusha) airport, just outside the main exit, you will be received by our guide who 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 according to the chosen category.
Early in the morning you will leave, immediately after breakfast, to discover the wonderful Tarangire National Park. (Approximate transfer time Arusha•Tarangire: 2 h 30 min) The park, dotted with huge baobabs, covers an area of 2850 km² and includes the Tarangire River, where immense herds of zebras, wildebeests, oryx, water antelopes, lesser kudus, giraffes, buffaloes and their natural predators such as lions, leopards and wild dogs gather, especially during the dry season. Tarangire is also known for having the highest concentration of elephants in the world and is considered by many to be Tanzania’s best destination for birdwatchers, with over 450 species of birds spotted there. After lunch on one of the many natural terraces with breathtaking views of the river and the surrounding nature, the Safari will continue in the afternoon with the transfer to the Lodge/Tented Camp for dinner and overnight stay according to the chosen category.
The following day will be entirely dedicated to exploring the park. Walking along the paths along the river, you can admire beautiful views with elephants intent on playing with water. In the late afternoon return to the Lodge/Tented Camp for dinner and overnight stay.
EXTRA ACTIVITY: BALLOON SAFARI • NIGHT GAME DRIVE
Departure early in the morning with transfer organized by our tour operator for safari in Tanzania to cross the Great Rift Valley to Lake Manyara National Park, where you will take the day safari. (Approximate transfer time Tarangire•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 according to the chosen category. (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 enchanting hippo lake, you will head up the crater out of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and reach the Lodge/Tented Camp for dinner and overnight in the Serengeti National Park according to the chosen category. (Approximate transfer time Ngorongoro Crater•Serengeti: 2 h 30 min)
EXTRA ACTIVITIES: MAASAI BOMA • OLDUVAI GORGE MUSEUM
The Serengeti is considered the most famous national park in the world, the cradle of the Great Migration, where every year one of the most impressive natural cycles on the planet is renewed: 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 to discover the park where there will be opportunities to spot 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 safari will end in the afternoon with the return to the Lodge/Tented Camp for dinner and overnight stay according to the chosen category.
The next day you will continue the exploration of the Seronera Valley. Along the banks of the river of the same name, you will have the chance to see leopards climbing sausage trees, observe the numerous prides of lions on the Moru kopjes and, with a little luck, even spot a black rhinoceros. Finally, you can get out of the car at the famous hippo pool and approach the pool to scrutinize the many hippos piled up. The game drive will end in the late afternoon with the return to the Lodge/Tented Camp for dinner and overnight stay.
EXTRA ACTIVITIES: BALLOON SAFARI • WALKING SAFARI • SPECIAL RHINO VIEWING
Early in the morning, right after breakfast, you will depart for Lake Natron. (Approximate transfer time Serengeti•Natron: 5 h) During the journey, you will have the opportunity to appreciate the unspoiled and particular landscape, in fact, the dirt tracks that lead to the lake are extremely scenic and cross several Maasai villages, which are outside the classic tourist circuits. Lake Natron, located at the base of Africa’s only active volcano (Ol Doinyo Lengai), “God’s Mountain” in the Maasai language, and between the Ngorongoro highlands and the Serengeti plains, is considered among the most spectacular volcanic landscapes in northern Tanzania. Desolate, mysterious and with a particular scarlet color, given by the extreme alkalinity, it is the most important site for the reproduction of lesser pink flamingos, there are up to three million of them in the months from June to November. The game drive will end in the late afternoon with transfer to the Lodge/Tented Camp for dinner and overnight stay in the Lake Natron area according to the chosen category.
On this last day of your safari in Tanzania, we recommend that you get up very early to watch the sunrise that creates spectacular plays of light and color with the waters of the lake. After breakfast, you can walk along the lake to admire the flamingos or take part in an easy trek on foot (non-slip shoes recommended) along the Engaresero stream that flows through a narrow rocky gorge and leads to a beautiful waterfall, where you can swim. The return to Arusha/Kilimanjaro is scheduled in the late afternoon to take the return flight.
(Approximate transfer time Natron•Arusha: 4 h • Natron•Kilimanjaro Airport: 5 h)
However, we are flexible and available in case of special needs, such as early flight or other.
IT IS POSSIBLE TO COMBINE THIS SAFARI WITH AN EXTENSION OF A BEACH STAY IN ZANZIBAR.
