Arusha to Tarangire National Park

Arusha to Tarangire National Park

After breakfast, your Lion King Safari guide will come get you from your lodging. You are going to drive to Tarangire National Park this morning. Good tarmac roads allow for a two and a half hour transit travel. The Tarangire River, which flows through the park, is the source of its name. During the dry season, the only water source for the wildlife in the area is this "river of warthogs." Elephant families are the park's most famous feature; they are frequently spotted gathering along the river. Additionally, you might spot hartebeest, bushbuck, and giraffe. Lions and leopards are among the many predators that closely monitor these creatures. Tarangire is home to more breeding species of birds than any other place on Earth! Here are the enormous, ancient Baobab trees. It is reported that a few of them have lived for almost a millennium.
There will be a picnic area within the park for lunch. Following your wildlife drive, you will go to your Karatu lodging.

Day 3

Serengeti National Park

Serengeti National Park

You will take a drive up into the Ngorongoro Conservation Area's cooler sections after breakfast. There will be an opportunity to make a stop and witness the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater. After that, you'll go via the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and reach the Serengeti from the south of the park. There is nothing quite like the Serengeti. It is well-known for having large, open grasslands that make for fantastic wildlife viewing. Although it has a wealth of species, the Great Migration that occurs every year is probably what makes it most famous. Large herds of zebra, antelope, and wildebeest travel in yearly cycles in search of new pasture. Any given month can contain the migration; you simply need to know where to look! You might have the opportunity to see one of the "Seven Wonders of the Natural World" depending on the time of year you visit.
You will spend the night in a tented camp in the Central Serengeti and enjoy a picnic meal.

Main Destination:
Serengeti National Park
Best Time To Visit January to February and June to October (Different areas are best at different times)

Serengeti to Ngorongoro

One last sunrise in the Serengeti for you! After a relaxing morning wildlife drive, you will softly meander through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and the Serengeti. You are staying at a moderately priced lodge close to the Crater Rim, not on it, on your way to the Ngorongoro Crater today. There's more wonder ahead of you and colder weather ahead! You are in for a filling dinner.

Accommodation:
Rhino Lodge
  • Mid-range lodge located on the crater rim of Ngorongoro Crater

  • All drinks (Except for spirits/liquor)

Day 6

Ngorongoro Crater

Ngorongoro Crater

Ngorongoro Crater appears to be a forgotten planet when you first see it. Steep volcanic walls hide a pristine environment of shimmering lakes and wetlands, pockets of acacia woodland, and wide savannah. Two to three million years ago, a massive volcano erupted and crashed in on itself, creating the Crater. In addition to being a natural reserve with some of the densest concentrations of large mammals on the African continent, it is well-known for its geological wonders. It's an experience in and of itself to drive down into the Crater, and once you're on the bottom of the Crater, you'll soon find yourself surrounded by gazelles, zebras, wildebeest, and over 500 different species of birds.

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)
Best Weather June to October (Rainfall is little to none)

Day 7

Lake Manyara National Park

Lake Manyara National Park

You're going to drive to Lake Manyara National Park this morning. Your last stop on this amazing safari! 120 kilometers west of Arusha is the small but diversified park of Manyara. Here, everything is displayed on a different scale. It is both epic—the Great Rift Escarpment looms over the western edge of Lake Manyara—and compact—this is one of Africa's tiniest parks. A little salt lake bears the park's name. Thousands of wading birds, including flamingos and over 500 other bird species, call this vast expanse of the park home. It floods and dries with the seasons. In the dense evergreen forest of the park, you might spot baboons and elephants. You should also keep an eye out for the lions that climb trees, who are well-known throughout Africa.
You'll have a picnic meal within the park.
You will be dropped off at the location of your choice, such as Arusha, Kilimanjaro Airport, or Arusha Airport, following your game drive. We hope your journey with us has been enjoyable.

Main Destination:
Lake Manyara National Park
Best Time To Visit June to October (Easier to spot animals)
High Season July to March (The northern section gets crowded)
