5-Day Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro

Early today, you will start driving from our hotel in Arusha to Tarangire National Park for a game drive until afternoon, where you will break for a picnic lunch. After lunch, you will continue with the game drive until evening, exit from the park, and drive to your Kizumba Campsite for dinner and an overnight stay.

Tarangire National Park is referred to as the playground of elephants, but is also known as the home of buffalo, lions, wildebeests, zebras, and gazelles in the dry season. Also, the shore of Lake Burunge attracts a lot of mammals for water and various bird species like Kingfisher, Hoopoe, and White Bellied bird.

Today, after breakfast, you will start a 4-hour drive with lunch boxes to Serengeti National Park. You will break for picnic lunch before getting to Serengeti National Park. You'll enter the park for an evening game drive. The Serengeti National Park is the world’s last great wildlife refuge as it contains an estimated three million large animals, most of which take part in a seasonal migration that is one of nature’s wonders. The area covers 14,763 sq km. The name Serengeti comes from the Maasai “Siringet," meaning endless plains. You'll drive to Seronera Campsite at the center of Serengeti for dinner and an overnight stay.

Today, you will have a half-day game drive in Serengeti. After lunch, you will drive to the Ngorongoro Crater Rim. There are several documented resident lion prides just within a one-hour game drive radius from Seronera. During the dry season, the resident prides begin to shift west and north in their territories and concentrate in the central region of the park. The dry season is a particularly good time for lion viewing in the Central Serengeti. The Central Serengeti is also one of the best areas in Africa to spot the elusive leopard. You may be lucky enough to encounter this majestic cat in the branches of the sausage trees that dot the banks of the Seronera River. Your dinner and overnight stay will be at Simba Campsite.

You'll descend into the Ngorongoro caldera very early in the morning to view the wildlife on the crater floor. The Ngorongoro Crater is often called “Africa’s Eden” and the “8th Natural Wonder of the World”. A massive extinct volcano, the sheer walls drop thousands of feet onto the verdant floor below. Large herds of zebras, buffalo, antelopes, and wildebeest graze nearby while sleeping lions laze in the sun. At dawn, the endangered black rhino returns to the thick cover of the crater forests after grazing on dew-laden grass in the morning mist. Later afternoon, you'll ascend from the crater and drive for dinner and overnight stay at Kizumba Campsite on a full board basis.

After breakfast, you will travel to Lake Manyara National Park. The Lake Manyara National Park is one of Tanzania’s most dramatically located African wildlife areas, consisting of a massive but shallow soda lake (covering two-thirds of the park) at the foot of the Great Rift Valley’s western escarpment. The park’s varied habitat attracts a wide variety of animals, including one of Africa’s densely populated African populations, Lake Manyara’s famous tree-climbing lions, as well as large flocks of flamingos, attracted by the algae in the lake. You will enjoy a picnic lunch inside the park and do two exciting morning and afternoon game drives, in search of the tree-climbing lions. Late afternoon, you'll depart from Lake Manyara and drive back to Arusha and be dropped off at your hotel in Arusha. End of Services.
