7-Day Tanzania Safari through Serengeti and Ngorongoro

Drive to Arusha with your picnic lunch. The park is small but varied, with spectacular landscapes across three distinct areas. In the west, the Meru Crater funnels the Jekukumia River, while the peak of Mount Meru lies on its rim. Ngurdoto Crater in the south-east is mainly grassland, and the shallow alkaline Momella Lakes in the north-east have varying algal colors and are known for their wading birds.

Have breakfast at the camp and leave early for Tarangire National Park, the third-largest park in Tanzania. It is characterized by the amazingly large herds of elephants that can be encountered here, while the baobab trees are another of the park's highlights. Enjoy excellent game viewing before your overnight stay at Fig Big Tree Lodge.

Have breakfast at 06:00 am, with pick-up from the lodge at 07:00 am, then drive to the Great Serengeti National Park with your picnic lunch packed. Enjoy a game drive en route via the Ngorongoro Crater rim. Serengeti National Park is home to lions, leopards, elephants, cheetahs, buffaloes, zebras, wildebeests, elands, wild dogs, gazelles, crocodiles, and more.

Serengeti is one of the most comprehensive and appealing natural areas. Every day, hundreds of nature lovers and tourists from all over the world visit the Serengeti. Dinner and overnight stay will be at Seronera Campsite.

Have breakfast and continue with both morning and afternoon game drives in Serengeti National Park. The park is famous for its wonderful Great Migration, where over one million wildebeest and more than two hundred thousand zebras travel each year to follow the rains.

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 herds then make their return journey. Even without this mass migration, the Serengeti remains an exciting and spectacular place that cannot fail to enthrall. Dinner and overnight stay will be at the Seronera campsite.

Have breakfast at your lodge and then depart for the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. On the way, stop at Olduvai Gorge, which boasts a history dating back to the dawn of time. This is where the anthropologists Drs. Louis and Mary Leakey discovered the skulls of the Nutcracker Man and the Handy Man, both of which were very significant links in the chain of human evolution.

On arrival, have lunch and spend the evening at leisure. Dinner and overnight stay will be at Simba Campsite.

Very early in the morning, descend over 2,000 ft. to the floor of the crater in order to explore this natural zoological park and observe a variety of wildlife, including rhinos, lions, hyenas, zebras, wildebeests, reedbucks, buffalos, Thomson's gazelles, and elephants.

You may also see the beautiful crested crane, which resembles the peacock and can be found in large numbers, as well as the rare bat-eared fox. The crater is one of the best places to view large predators and a great area for photography. It is one of the natural world's wonders, with a breathtaking concentration of wildlife, including around 30,000 animals such as wildebeests, lions, and many bird species.

You will spend the morning within the crater, taking in its range and depth. You will also enjoy meals at the lodge and an attractive sunset beneath the beautiful wild sky, marking the conclusion of another safari day.

Later, drive to Panorama Campsite for dinner and an overnight stay.

Have breakfast and continue to the village of Mto Wa Mbu near Lake Manyara. Take a walk through the village and its surroundings. From banana plantations to rice fields, from the local medicine man to the local brewery, and from the paint and woodcraft workshop to the local school, the village walk gives you an insight into the daily life of the villagers.
