Moshi/Arusha to Tarangire National Park
After breakfast, depart from Arusha, embark on an exciting journey to Tarangire National Park, and enjoy a game drive in the afternoon. Tarangire is known for its diverse wildlife, including elephants, lions, and various bird species. Immerse yourself in the natural beauty and spend the night at the Lodge.
Tarangire National Park – Manyara National Park
After breakfast, you will drive to Lake Manyara National Park, a small but diverse park. Everything you’ll see here is on a different scale. It is compact (one of the narrowest parks in Africa) and epic (the Great Rift Escarpment towers over Lake Manyara’s western boundary). The park’s namesake is a shallow, Salt Lake. It covers a large area of the park, flooding and drying with the seasons and is home to thousands of wading birds (including flamingos and over 500 other bird species). You may see baboons and elephants in the park’s thick evergreen forest, and watch for the tree-climbing lions that have become famous throughout Africa.
Manyara National Park to Serengeti National Park
After breakfast, you will drive up into the cooler regions of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. There will be a chance to stop and see the spectacular Ngorongoro Crater. You will then transit through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area to the Serengeti, entering Central Serengeti Park.
The Serengeti is truly spectacular. It is famous for its vast open grasslands which allow for excellent sightings of wildlife. Whilst it boasts abundant wildlife, it is perhaps best known for the annual Great Migration. Vast numbers of wildebeest; zebra and antelope move in an annual pattern, constantly seeking fresh grazing. The migration can be found during any given month; you just need to know where to look!
Fully day in Serengeti national park
Fully-day wildlife viewing in Serengeti National Park: Head out for an early morning game drive to spot several wildlife species that arise in the morning to feed and the nocturnal mammals that are seen returning to their hiding places. After the morning game drive, return to your lodge for breakfast then return for a full-day excursion in the park with a packed lunch box. You will spend time observing the oldest ecosystem of the park which thrills with endless plains with woodland, hills, rocks, and rivers that all bring out the uniqueness of this magnificent park in Tanzania. After fully exploring the plains of Serengeti National Park, return to the lodge for dinner and overnight. (You have an optional hot air balloon safari).
Central Serengeti to North Serengeti
As the sun rises over the Central Serengeti, bid farewell to this captivating region and set your compass northward toward the equally enchanting landscapes of the North Serengeti National Park to View River Crossing Migrations. The journey itself is a safari, offering glimpses of wildlife along the way. As you transition from one area to another, notice the subtle shifts in terrain and vegetation, a prelude to the unique experiences that await you.
Full Day in North Serengeti National Park
Spend a full day exploring the captivating landscapes of North Serengeti National Park. Set out on early morning and late afternoon game drives to witness the thrilling scenes of the Wildebeest Migration River Crossing. Marvel at the determination and bravery of wildebeest as they navigate crocodile-infested waters. Encounter other wildlife, including lions, leopards, and elephants, in this pristine wilderness. Take in the vast savannas and stunning vistas, capturing the essence of the untamed Serengeti. As the sun sets, return to your campsite or lodge, reflecting on the day's exhilarating encounters and anticipating the adventures that lie ahead.
Full Day in North Serengeti National Park
After breakfast, we will proceed for a full-day game drive viewing the great migration at the Mara area. Resident wildlife numbers are exceptionally high in the Wagakuria area. The key feature is the Mara River and there is a great chance to see the herds cross the Mara River to the north on one day and back south a few days later. Please note that it can be very difficult to witness crossing and is sometimes a matter of luck. A herd can be seen next to the river and only decides to cross a couple of days later. This area is a stunning region with kopjes, woodland, riverine vegetation and open plains, similar to Kenya's Masai Mara Game Reserve.
Northern Serengeti to Ngorongoro Conservation Area
Leave the captivating landscapes of North Serengeti National Park behind as you embark on a journey to Ngorongoro Crater. Witness the seamless transition from the endless savannas of the Serengeti to the awe-inspiring caldera of Ngorongoro. Arrive at the crater rim and settle into your accommodation, surrounded by panoramic views. Prepare for an unforgettable game drive on the crater floor tomorrow, where you'll encounter a diverse range of wildlife in this natural wonder.
Ngorongoro Crater to Arusha/Moshi
Embark on an early morning game drive within the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Witness a thriving ecosystem as you encounter diverse wildlife, including rhinos, lions, and various bird species, all framed by the crater's dramatic walls. After this enriching experience, begin your journey back to Arusha. As you traverse the landscapes one final time, reflect on the incredible safari memories you've collected. Arrive in Arusha, where your unforgettable wildlife adventure concludes, leaving you with cherished tales of the Tanzanian wilderness.
Departure Day
This is the final day of your safari, and you will enjoy a delicious breakfast before relaxing while waiting for your guide. Your guide will pick you up and take you to Kilimanjaro International Airport via Arusha for departure.
