Day 1

Tarangire National Park

Tarangire National Park

Tarangire National Park has some of the highest population density of elephants as compared to anywhere in Tanzania, and its sparse vegetation, strewn with baobab and acacia trees, makes it a beautiful and distinctive location to visit.

The Tarangire National Park is particularly worth seeing in the dry season, as the Tarangire River attracts animals from the neighboring regions in droves. In addition to the large herds of elephant, impala and kudu, can also lions, hyenas and cheetahs be observed here.

Main Destination:
Tarangire National Park
Best Time To Visit July to November (Animals come to the Tarangire River)
High Season June to October (The park is full of visitors)
Best Weather June to October (Little rainfall)

Day 2

Ngorongoro Conservation Area

Ngorongoro Conservation Area

The jewel in Ngorongoro’s crown is a deep, volcanic crater, the largest un flooded and unbroken caldera in the world. About 20kms across, 600 meters deep and 300 sq kms in area, the Ngorongoro Crater is a breathtaking natural wonder.

The Ngorongoro Crater is one of Africa’s most famous sights, with the highest concentration of wildlife in the continent. The Crater, sometimes referred to as the “eighth wonder of the world,”. You won’t be able to get away from other vehicles here, but you’ll be rewarded with incredible wildlife viewing in a truly breathtaking setting. Ngorongoro is unlike any other place in Africa!

The Ngorongoro Conservation Area was established in part to protect the environment for the Maasai people, who were displaced from the Serengeti Plains. They are essentially nomadic people who construct temporary villages in the form of circular homesteads known as bomas. It is now possible to visit a few of these, which have been made accessible to tourists.

Main Destination:
Ngorongoro Crater
Best Time To Visit June to October (Wildlife viewing is best)
High Season Most of the year – July to March (Expect crowds)

Day 3

Serengeti National Park

Serengeti National Park

Serengeti National Park is undoubtedly the best-known wildlife sanctuary in the world, unequalled for its natural beauty and scientific value, it has the greatest concentration of plains game in Africa

The Serengeti National Park in Tanzania was established in 1952. It is home to the greatest wildlife spectacle on earth—the great migration of wildebeest and zebra. The resident population of lions, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes, and birds is also impressive.

The park can be divided into 3 sections. The popular southern/central part (Seronera Valley), is what the Maasai called the “serengit”, the land of endless plains. It’s a classic savannah, dotted with acacias and filled with wildlife. The western corridor is marked by the Grumeti River and has more forests and dense bush. The north, the Lobo area, which meets up with Kenya’s Maasai Mara Reserve, is the least visited section.

Main Destination:
Serengeti National Park
Best Time To Visit January to February and June to October (Different areas are best at different times)
High Season July to March (The Seronera area is crowded)
Best Weather June to October (Little to no rainfall)

Day 4

Lake Manyara National Park

Lake Manyara National Park

Lake Manyara National Park with its groundwater forests, bush plains, baobab-strewn cliffs, and algae-streaked hot springs provide incredible ecological variety in a small area, as well as a plethora of wildlife and birds.

Lake Manyara’s alkaline soda is home to a diverse range of bird life that thrives in its brackish waters. Thousands of pink flamingos stoop and graze on colorful specks against the lake’s grey minerals. Herons flap their wings against the sun-drenched sky, and yellow-billed storks swoop and corkscrew on thermal winds rising up from the escarpment. Even the most averse bird watchers will find something to admire in the national park.

Another reason to visit this park is to see the famous tree-climbing lions of Lake Manyara. During the rainy season, they live in the ancient mahogany and elegant acacias, which are the only species of their kind on the planet.

After this final game drive, we will transfer you to Arusha or the airport.

Main Destination:

Best Time To Visit June to October (Easier to spot animals)
