Tarangire National Park
Tarangire National Park
In the morning you will be collected from your lodgings in Arusha by our safari guide. We set out for Tarangire National Park on a good tarmac road across gently rolling Maasai plains with scattered acacia trees. As we zip along we pass many Maasai in their colorful dress walking on the roadside, riding bicycles, herding cattle, and driving donkey’s carts. Tarangire National Park, well known for its large elephant herds, is also host to a multitude of other creatures. From the open roof of our state-of-the-art safari vehicle, we experience the seasonal swamps, savanna, and life-giving Tarangire River, endeavouring to encounter a multitude of creatures, from zebra to wildebeest, buffalo, elephant, and giraffe, to name a few. We may glimpse lions stalking prey or leopards watching, relaxing in the trees above. You will drive to one of our carefully selected accommodation for dinner in a tasteful restaurant, a pool at hand to soothe us, and a most capacious experience.

Lake Manyara National Park
Lake Manyara National Park
After breakfast, we will continue with your epic safari – Lake Manyara National Park. This relatively small but diverse park is 120km west of Arusha. It is named for the shallow salt lake which covers a good seventy percent of the park’s surface area. Flooding and drying with the seasons, the soda lake is home to thousands of flamingo as well as over 500 other bird species. On our exploration of the park we will see monkey, giraffe, zebra, wildebeest, buffalo, elephant, and, with some luck, lions lounging in the trees. The park is known for its diverse landscapes - not only open grassy plains but also primate-filled woodlands and baobab dotted cliffs.
After another memorable game drive, we head to our accommodation, with our adventure replete with images of the African wilds to last a lifetime.

Passing through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, you will be able to see the breath-taking Ngorongoro Crater before traveling onwards to the Serengeti National Park, which you will reach by midday.

Day 5
Serengeti National Park
Serengeti National Park
This entire day is set aside for game drives on the Serengeti. The Serengeti, the habitat of an abundance of wildlife such as impala, buffalo, crocodile, and hippo, is more well-known for its great migrating herds of zebra, antelope, and wildebeest. The animals’ trek is determined by the rainfall and varies from year to year. In November and December, the animals move from the northern region, dominated by woodlands and hills, to the grassy plains of the south. During the longer rainy season from April to June, they return to the north. Apart from the migrating herds, we may have the opportunity to see the resident predators, leopard, cheetah, and lion, fulfilling their role in the circle of life.
After an unforgettable day, we will return to your accommodation for relaxation, dinner and our overnight sleep on The Endless Plain.

Serengeti to Ngorongoro crater
Serengeti to Ngorongoro crater
After our scrumptious breakfast, we head out of Serengeti to Ngorongoro Crater. We may spot the “Big Five” – lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino, and leopard – before embarking on our journey to The Ngorongoro Crater. This UNESCO World Heritage site, one of the seven wonders of Africa, formed millions of years ago, is 600 m deep and covers roughly 260 square kilometers. Due to its dense animal population of approximately 25,000 ungulates, the crater offers the best game viewing of all the parks in Tanzania. We arrive at the Crater rim before lunch. Descending into the Crater, we very quickly view wildebeest, zebra, gazelle, elephant, and some of the more than 500 bird species in the area. With a little luck, we may catch a glimpse of the endangered black rhino through the grass.
After lunch and a full afternoon inside the Crater, you will head to your accommodation for dinner and an overnight stay.
