7-Day Tanzania Wildlife Safari with Serengeti and Ngorongoro

• After breakfast at the lodge, leave for Tarangire National Park. This is the third-largest park in Tanzania and is characterized by large herds of elephants. The baobab trees are among the other highlights of Tarangire. The Tarangire River, which flows all year round, is the lifeblood of the park. Many animals, predators and prey alike, gather around the river, where you can enjoy excellent game viewing.

• After the game drive in the evening or late afternoon, return to your lodge and prepare for a 2-hour walking tour with the ranger.

Overnight at Tarangire River Camp.

130 kilometres - two hours' drive.

• Breakfast will be served at 06:00 am, and pick-up will be at 07:00 am for a drive to Serengeti National Park with your picnic lunches. En route, enjoy game drives along the Ngorongoro Crater rim.

• Serengeti National Park is home to lions, leopards, elephants, cheetahs, buffalo, zebras, wildebeest, elands, wild dogs, gazelles, crocodiles, and more.

• Experience the life of local Maasai people around Lake Manyara.

Overnight at Seronera Campsite.

• After breakfast, continue with the game drives in Serengeti National Park. Serengeti is a large park, and your game drives will depend on the movement of the migrant animals. Your guide knows how to locate the herd.

• Serengeti National Park is famous for the Great Migration; over one million wildebeest and more than two hundred thousand zebras follow the rains every year. In October and November, they travel from the mountains of the north southwards to the plains in search of lush pastures. After the great rainy season in April, May, and June, the herd makes its return journey.

• Even without this mass migration, the Serengeti is an exciting and spectacular place that cannot fail to enthral visitors.

Dinner and overnight at Seronera Campsite.

• After breakfast, go on a game drive following the animal migration in the Northern Serengeti.

• See wildebeest, zebra, hartebeest, eland, antelope, hyena, and many varieties of birds surrounded by the beautiful landscape.

• Usually, in the months of August and November, the migration reaches its northern range - the grasslands on either bank of the crocodile-infested Mara River, which the herds must cross not once, but twice, as they complete their migration.

• Also, enjoy the sunset in the Serengeti between 06:20 pm and 06:40 pm after the game drive.

Late in the evening, return for an overnight stay at Seronera Campsite.

• After breakfast, continue with game viewing in the Serengeti for three hours.

• After that, proceed with a game drive en route to Ngorongoro.

• Arrive at Nabi Gate for lunch.

• After lunch, proceed to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area for dinner and an overnight stay at Simba Campsite.

• Start the game drive with a picnic lunch inside the Ngorongoro Crater at 7:00 am.

• As very few animals migrate in and out of the crater with its 2000 ft. high walls, you can expect to see lions, elephants, zebras, hippos, flamingos, jackals, rhinos, antelopes, many birds, and other species.

• Your driver or guide will be in contact with other safari drivers and will amaze you with his skill in locating the hidden animals.

• After exploring Ngorongoro Crater, drive to Panorama Campsite for dinner and overnight.

• After breakfast, the journey continues to the village of Mto Wa Mbu near Lake Manyara. Over the years, the village has attracted people from various ethnic groups, and this wide variety of backgrounds has created a multicultural atmosphere in Mto Wa Mbu.

• Lunch is prepared by a communal women's group and served at a local compound. It consists of a wide variety of African dishes, giving you the opportunity to taste traditional food.

• After this wonderful experience, visit Lake Manyara National Park.

• On the lakeshore, observe elephants, hippopotami, buffalo, guenons, banded mongooses, and numerous types of gazelles and antelopes. Furthermore, the park is well known for its tree-climbing lions. Visitors can regularly observe lions taking a nap in the tree canopies to escape the heat on the ground.

• After watching the animals and exploring the national park, leave the park in the afternoon and travel to Kirurumu Manyara Lodge.

• Soon, the higher lands are reached, and a wonderful view of the Maasai Plains and Lake Manyara opens up before you.

• Photo stops can be taken en route, and you will be able to enjoy the spectacular views.
