SPOT AFRICAN WILDLIFE
Climb on board this tour to see, observe and spot wildlife at these prominent game reserves in Tanzania. Go on morning and afternoon game drives to see wildebeest, hippos, lions and varied bird species and lots more.
Arusha - Tarangire National Park
(120 km - 2 hours)
Pick up from your hotel in Arusha at around 08:00 am and drive on a tarmac road 120 km to Tarangire N.P (2,850 Km) with packed lunch for the game drives. The Park has natural vegetation mainly consisting of Acacia woodland and giant Baobab trees, with huge swamp areas in the south. Herds of up to 300 elephants scratch the dry river bed for underground streams during the dry season, while migratory wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, impala, gazelle, and eland crowd the shrinking lagoons. It is the place in Tanzania where dry-country antelopes and fringe-eared oryx are regularly seen. Also, any ardent bird-lovers can keep an eye open for screeching flocks of the dazzlingly colorful yellow collared lovebirds, and the somewhat drabber Rufus tailed weaver.
Dinner and overnight stay at Tarangire Campsite. Meal Plan: {L, D}.
Day 02 Tarangire National Park - Lake Manyara National Par
(70Km - 1 hour)
Breakfast at 07: 00 am.
Pick up from the Camp at 08: 00 am and drive with lunch box to Lake Manyara National Park (330 sq km or 127 sq mile’s) on the base of the Great Rift Valley. This park is one of Tanzania’s most dramatically located African wildlife areas with a massive but shallow soda lake (covering two-thirds of the park). This small park contains five distinct vegetation zone. Thus supporting a large variety of birds and animals. Lake Manyara being famous for its large flocks of flamingos provides the perfect introduction to Tanzania’s birdlife. More than 400 species have been recorded, and even a first-time visitor to Africa might reasonably expect to observe 100 of these in one day. The park is also a home to tree climbing Lions, Hippo, Elephant, Zebra, Buffalo, Giraffe, Baboon, Blue and Vervet monkey, Warthog and so much more.
Dinner and do overnight stay at Panorama Safari Camp or Twiga Campsite. Meal Plan: {B, L, D}.
DAY3 Campsite in Mto wa Mbu - Serengeti National Park (205km - 5 hours)
Breakfast at 07:00 am.
Pick up from the Camp at 08:00 am and drive to the Great Serengeti National Park (14,763 sq km) with packed picnic lunches for game drives en route via Ngorongoro Crater rim. The Serengeti National Park is arguably the most impressive wildlife sanctuary in the world. During the months from December through March, the seemingly unending plains of the southern Serengeti and the Conservation Area are usually inhabited by enormous herds of wildebeests and zebras. Yet even when the migration is quiet, the Serengeti offers arguably the most scintillating game drive in Africa. As the day cools and the sky is streaked by red, gold and orange hues, you may be surprised by the roar of a lion, a galloping giraffe, or the high pitched giggling of hyenas fighting over a kill.
Dinner and overnight stay at Serengeti Seronera Campsite. Meal Plan: {B, L, D}.
DAY 04 Serengeti National Park - Ngorongoro Crater
(145km - 3 hours)
Begin with early morning game drives in the Serengeti National Park.
Breakfast at 09:00 am.
Drive with your packed lunches to the Ngorongoro Crater Rim area for an afternoon game drive, en route. Be one of only a few fortunate people to travel in a Hot Air Balloon over the Serengeti Plains at extra cost. Float silently above the awakening bush, spot wildlife and enjoy the amazing scenery of Africa, across rivers and numerous small villages.
On the way to the crater rim, optional, you can visit Olduvai which was the first place where traces of an early stone tool culture were discovered and gave the name to the Oldupai. This Gorge is where the English pair, Louis and Mary Leaky pioneered excavation work. In the sixties, some of the earliest archaeological deposits of human evolution were found and a small museum documents these discoveries. Also, you can choose to visit the shifting sands.
Dinner and overnight stay at Simba "A" campsite. Meal Plan: {B, L, D}.
Day 05 Ngorongoro Crater Floor - Arusha
(190 km - 3 hours)
Breakfast at 06:00 am.
Descend into Ngorongoro Crater floor (19.2 km of diameter, 610 m deep, 304 sq km) for a game drive. The Ngorongoro Crater is one of the most densely crowded African wildlife areas in the world and is home to an estimated 30,000 animals including some of Tanzania’s last remaining black rhinos. Supported by year-round water supply and fodder, the Ngorongoro Crater supports a vast variety of animals, which include herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, eland, warthog, hippo, and giant African elephants. Another big draw card to this picturesque crater is its huge population of predators, which include lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs and the ever-elusive leopard. Ngorongoro Crater is often called 'Africa's Garden of Eden' the '5th Natural Wonder of Africa'. This breathtaking oasis provides a haven for both predator and prey to live among grasslands.
After game drives and picnic lunches, drive back to Arusha for the drop-off.
