Tarangire is filled with giant baobab trees all across the park, as well as elephants, lots of them. But that’s just the beginning. Of the big cats, you’ll probably see lions, and cheetahs and leopards around, too. And it’s impossible to miss the wildebeest, giraffes, hippos, buffaloes and zebras. Your backdrop for all of this is one of the prettiest in northern Tanzania, with a memorable mix of river woodland, open plains, and rolling hills. In the late evening, we will exit the Park and drive to your accommodation in Mto Wa Mbu for dinner and overnight.

Lake Natron

Lake Natron

After breakfast, you are heading to Lake Natron. Just past Mto wa Mbu, you leave the asphalted road, and along the East African Rift Valley, the drive continues on adventurous slopes. The drive leads past Maasai villages and the holy mountain of the Maasai, the Ol Doinyo Lengai. As soon as the Maasai village Ngare Sero comes into sight, it is not far from the lake. The outlet Lake Natron is the home of a remarkable variety of birds, in particular about 2.5 million dwarf flamingos, the lake serves them as a regular breeding ground. The water is strongly saline and the basis of life for unicellular algae and bacteria, which are responsible for the planar red-brown to purple-violet coloring of the lake. The area around Lake Natron is one of the most beautiful and unspoiled regions in Africa. You will make a hike to the lake and then you will visit the nearby waterfalls, a true oasis with awesome waters to swim. You'll stay overnight at a campsite at Lake Natron.

Serengeti is the heart of a vast ecosystem, whose species-rich animal world is unique in the world. Serengeti National Park is one of the largest natural migration systems for wild animals. Annually over 1.4 million gnus, almost 300,000 Thomson's gazelles, about 200,000 zebras, and several thousand topis migrate with the rainy seasons to the areas with greenery and lush meadows. With about 3 million larger mammals, Serengeti is the National Park with the richest wildlife worldwide. Furthermore, the park is home to many other animal species, such as giraffes, buffalo, hyenas, elephants or crocodiles. Particularly large is the population of feline predators, about 3000 lions, a good 300 cheetahs and an estimated 400-700 leopards have their hunting ground here.

Ngorongoro crater

Before breakfast you can enjoy the fantastic view over the Ngorongoro crater in good weather. After breakfast we go on partly adventurous roads about 600 meters downward into the crater. The crater has a diameter of 17-21 kilometers and is the home of a great animal world. Nearly all the biodiversity of the East African savannah has gathered here, only giraffes and a few other animal species for which the rock faces are too steep do not live in the crater. Depending on the season, 15,000 to 25,000 animals are gathering here, thereof more than two thirds buffaloes, gnus, zebras and gazelles. This large number of grazers also explains why in the crater the largest density of predators in Africa can be found. Beside other predators more than 100 lions live here in several prides. The chances of watching the "Big Five" lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino and leopard within just a few hours here are particularly good. After the tour we exit the Crater and drive to Mto Wa Mbu for overnight.
