8-Day Tanzania Wildlife Safari with Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Serengeti

• In the morning, meet your guide and, after an approximately 2-hour drive, arrive at Tarangire National Park.

• As you enter the park, the guide will open the roof for a better viewing experience. The landscape is made up of seasonal marshes and a seemingly endless tree savannah dotted with mighty baobab trees. The park is home to the largest elephant herds in northern Tanzania.

• After an extensive game drive, continue to Oliver's Camp or N.K., located close to the animal-dense Silale Swamps.

Meals: Lunch and Dinner.

• In the morning, head into the bush on foot, accompanied by an experienced walking guide and an armed ranger, focusing on the smaller things and learning more about nature, wildlife behaviour, and animal tracks.

• After lunch at the camp, set out on an afternoon game drive and enjoy more time exploring this amazing and beautiful park.

• Return to Oliver's Camp at sunset and spend another night at the camp.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner.

• On the way out of the gate, enjoy more time spotting animals and looking for the ones missed previously.

• Continue the journey towards the multi-cultural town of Mto wa Mbu, leaving the African Rift Valley behind and proceeding towards the vegetation of the rich crater highlands.

• Soon, the higher lands will provide a wonderful view of the Masai Plains as Lake Manyara becomes visible.

• Photo stops will be made to enjoy the spectacular views.

• Continue to Karatu and later arrive at Gibb's Farm, which lies in the middle of its own coffee plantation and offers wonderful views.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner.

• Drive into the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and descend into the Ngorongoro Crater. See the grass steppes and acacia forests, which are home to almost all species of animals found in the East African savannah.

• In only a few hours, you will have the chance to spot the Big Five - lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino, and leopard.

• After extensive game viewing and a picnic in the crater, leave Ngorongoro Crater in the afternoon and travel back to Karatu to spend another night at Gibb's Farm.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner.

• Proceed towards Serengeti National Park.

• After passing the crater highlands, take in the plains of the southern Serengeti and begin to understand the meaning of the word "Serengeti," which stands for endless plain.

• Spot animals such as elephants, buffaloes, lions, cheetahs, hyenas, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, topi, Grant's and Thomson's gazelles, and many more. The Serengeti is also home to the largest animal migration on the planet.

• Depending on the time of year and the location of the big herds, spend the night at one of Asilia's tented camps: Dunia, Olakira, or Kimondo.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner.

• Days 6 and 7 are dedicated to game viewing in Serengeti National Park.

• During the short rainy season in November and December, the herds move from the hills in the north to the plains in the south. During the longer rainy season from April to June, they return north.

• As the migration is completely dependent on the yearly rainfall, the location of the herds may vary from year to year, but the guide will know where to locate the animals and where to see them at their best.

Spend the night at either Dunia Camp, Olakira Camp, or Kimondo Camp.
