Day 1

Game Drive in Tarangire National Park

Game Drive in Tarangire National Park

We'll pick you up from the hotel and drive you to Tarangire National Park for excellent game viewing.

Tarangire is a small park that offers some excellent sights. Generally, in the dry seasons, Tarangire comes alive as wildlife and birdlife congregate at the Tarangire River, which is a permanent source of water.

We spend the night in our lodge, beautifully set outside the park with stunning views and a unique atmosphere. In the late afternoon, we make a short journey from the park to our special tented camp for dinner and overnight.

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)

Day 2

Game Drive in Manyara National Park

Game Drive in Manyara National Park

This morning, you will drive to Lake Manyara, which will take around an hour.

Described as one of Tanzania's hidden gems, this park is famous for its tree-climbing lions and large herds of elephants, which are not shy to come straight up to the vehicle. After lunch, you will drive around the park for an afternoon game drive, and in the late evening, you will head back to the lodge for dinner and a good rest.

Day 3

Lake Natron Expedition

Lake Natron Expedition

Activities in the Lake Natron area focus mainly on hikes and enjoying the fascinating scenery. We recommend walking across the baked mud to the shores of the great soda lake - in which algae and zooplankton thrive – to watch the flamingos line up on the shore.

Another great walk is the one leading up to the Engero Sero Waterfalls. It will guide you through a shady gorge (very welcome in the heat) and between various cliffs. After a few hours, you’ll reach a beautiful natural swimming pool surrounded by steep rock walls, showered by cascades of spring water and overlooked by palm trees.

The fit and brave might like to climb Oldoinyo Lengai, an active volcano. To avoid the heat, this climb usually starts at midnight and guides you to spectacular views and a stunning sunrise in approximately six hours. Oldoinyo Lengai is a very tough climb and not one to take lightly.

Main Destination:
Lake Natron
Accommodation:
Africa Safari Lake Natron (Safari Comfort Bungalow)
  • Mid-range lodge located near Lake Natron
Meals & Drinks:
  • All meals included
  • Drinking water (Other drinks not included)

Beautiful Game Drive in Serengeti National Park

In December, July and August, you will normally encounter the migration with large herds of wildebeest, zebra, and gazelle. There are always plenty of resident animals, such as giraffe, buffalo, and elephant, and many large predators, such as lion, cheetah, and leopard. You return to the special tented camp at Serengeti for dinner and overnight.

Another Blissful Game Drive in Serengeti

You will have an early start in the northern Serengeti to try and find cats before they retreat from the blazing sun during the day.

This day will be filled with Big Five exploration throughout the central part of the Serengeti plains before it gets dark.

Here, millions of wild animals live. Over the huge, flat plains, you will likely find lions, cheetahs, leopards, hyenas and many other small predators.

Unforgettable Ngorongoro Crater

Unforgettable Ngorongoro Crater

You will have an early start in the Serengeti to try and find cats before they retreat from the blazing sun during the day. After a few hours of the game drive, travel to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, where you will enter the crater.

The Ngorongoro Crater is the largest unflooded and unbroken caldera in the world. At approximately 20 kilometers across and 600 meters deep, it is a breathtaking natural wonder and a wonderful haven for wildlife.

Ngorongoro is unique because almost all the wildlife lives within the crater walls, so you can easily find the game. Rhinos, in particular, can be seen regularly, as well as prides of lions and other predators like cheetahs. Enjoy lunch by the hippo pond. After lunch, you will drive back to Karatu for dinner and an overnight stay.

Main Destination:
