Five(5) Days Tanzania safari

>>> You'll depart from Arusha You will be picked up in the morning and after a short briefing, you will head off in the direction of Tarangire National Park. The park, with its savannah, baobab trees, and seasonal swamps, is home to huge elephant herds. Animals gather at the life-giving Tarangire River and you should see a selection of mammals ranging from giraffe, bushbuck and hartebeest to zebra and warthog. The park is also home to buffalo, zebra and wildebeest, which are always closely followed by a range of predators such as lions. Leopards are seen now and then, but cheetahs are rarely spotted. From the open roof of the safari vehicle, you will be able to absorb the landscape and watch the animals. In the late afternoon, you will leave the park and head to the nearby Kizumba campsite where you will spend the night.

>>> After the breakfast plates have been cleared, you will continue toward the fertile highland where wheat, coffee and corn are grown by the Iraqw people. Passing through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, you will be able to see the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater. Travel onward to the Serengeti National Park which you will reach by midday. The Serengeti National Park is the largest park in Tanzania, with a diversity of landscapes and habitats. It includes grassy plains, swamps, lakes, savannah and mountains. Here, the biggest wildebeest and zebra migration takes place and depending on the season, you will have the opportunity to witness thousands of animals in their search for nourishment. You will spend the night in the Seronera area in Central Serengeti at the Nyani campsite.

>>> After breakfast we head towards the Serengeti National Park, via the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Leaving the highlands behind, we descend into the heart of wild Africa; the Serengeti National Park with its endless plains, rolling into the distance as far as the eye can see. We head to the central park area, known as the Seronera area, one of the richest wildlife habitats in the park, featuring the Seronera River, which provides a valuable water source to this area and therefore attracts wildlife well representative of most of the Serengeti’s species.

We arrive in time for lunch and enjoy an afternoon game drive in the Serengeti National Park. Dinner and overnight at a camp.

>>> Early in the morning, you will head down the forested slopes into the crater on a steep and narrow path. The crater floor is covered in open grassland with the occasional acacia tree and two small wooded areas. Teeming with wildlife, you will be able to see many animals in a short period of time. You might even be able to tick the “Big Five” – lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino and leopard – off your list. Other animals present in the crater area include wildebeest, zebra, gazelle, warthog, hippo and more than 500 species of birds. You will spend the entire morning exploring the park. After a picnic lunch in the crater, you will return to Mto Wa Mbu where you will arrive by early evening for dinner and overnight at Kizumba campsite.

>>> Today, you will drive to Lake Manyara National Park. This small park is a paradise for both serious and amateur bird-lovers, as this small park is home to over 400 species of birds, including flamingos, pelicans, storks and cormorants. Many mammals, such as bushbuck, waterbuck, wildebeest, zebra, baboon, monkey, lion and leopard can be seen roaming the forest and the acacia-dotted plains of the park. You will have an unhindered view of the surroundings as the safari vehicle’s roof can open up to allow you the best angle for photography. After an extensive game drive in the park, you will leave the park in the afternoon. You will arrive in Arusha at around 5 PM.
