We pick you up from the hotel after breakfast at 8:00 am. Your safari guide will arrive at the hotel, and after meeting your driver, you will travel to Lake Manyara National Park. Around 10:00 am, you will already be on your first safari!

The entire territory of this park is cut through by groundwater streams that provide a favourable environment for plants, birds (including pink flamingos) and African forest animals.

Around lunchtime, you will visit the Maji Moto Hot Springs, and the driver will provide you with a lunchbox. After this stop, the safari will continue. In Lake Manyara, you have the option to add extra activities like a night game drive, canoeing, and a walking safari to experience the excitement of exploring the wild in Tanzania on foot (optional).

By evening, you will drive to the lodge for dinner and overnight.

Closer to lunchtime, you will visit the Serengeti Visitor Centre, where you will be offered a lunchbox and provided with interesting information about the animal population and the history of the national park. Here, you can also see hyraxes, which are elephants' closest relatives.

It is difficult to describe in detail all the animals of the Serengeti plains, for they number in the thousands; elephants, buffaloes, ostriches, giraffes, jackals, hyenas, lions, antelopes, leopards and cheetahs. Keep your eyes peeled and enjoy the nature around you. You have optional activities, one of which is the Olduvai Gorge tour of the cradle of mankind.

On this day, you also have the option to visit the Maasai people and Olduvai Gorge at an additional cost.

The Olduvai Gorge is one of the most important archaeological sites on earth. The geological strata exposed in the gorge reveal a remarkable record of animal and human evolution from about 2 million until 15,000 years ago.

Ngorongoro is one of the most famous and interesting of Tanzania's national parks because it has the greatest number of different animal species per square kilometer. You will have the chance to see buffalo, elephant, lion, wildebeest, zebra, hippopotamus and feline species such as caracals and servals. The lucky travelers might even see a rhinoceros, an animal whose numbers are rapidly declining. End the beautiful day by returning to the lodge for rest.

Day 6

Tarangire National Park - Arusha

Tarangire National Park - Arusha

In Tarangire, you can see many wild Tanzanian animals, such as lions, buffalos, giraffes, and zebras, but above all else, it is famous for its astonishing number of elephants. They typically stay close to their drinking source, the Tarangire River.

You should be aware that this is wild nature, so the guide cannot guarantee the presence of specific wild animals, but you can be sure he will do his best to find everything you're looking for! The team has its own radio channel that the drivers use to communicate with other guides and collaborate on searches for rare species.

At lunchtime, you will be provided with a meal, after which the safari will continue. In the evening, you will be transferred to the hotel in Arusha or the airport for drop-off.

Main Destination:

Best Time To Visit July to November (Animals come to the Tarangire River)
