5-Day Tanzania Camping Safari with Serengeti and Ngorongoro

You will depart from Arusha in the morning and drive to Tarangire National Park, where you will discover the true enormity of the deserted termite mounds and ancient baobab trees. The wildlife roaming this scenic landscape includes lions, giraffes, warthogs, ostriches, impalas, cheetahs, mongooses, buffaloes, and baboons. You will spend your first night at Fanaka Camp, where a tantalizing dinner will be served in the evening.

We will depart for Serengeti National Park once you have finished your appetizing breakfast. If you are lucky, you may encounter the odd animal en route, as we pass via the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater. Tanzania's oldest and most frequented national park, also a World Heritage Site and recently branded as one of the Seven Wonders of the World, the Serengeti is renowned for the annual migration of the herds and its ever-growing wildlife population.

We will enjoy a picnic lunch on one of the kopjes (rock outcroppings), and our game drive will venture further into the park. After the game drive, we will proceed to Simba Camp for dinner and overnight.

We will begin our day with an early morning game drive in the central Serengeti. The savannah is an active landscape, and the air is filled with the melodies created by birds as the renewed sunlight begins to illuminate the entire landscape. Your guide will study the prints on the ground in pursuit of predators. We will travel to Simba Camp, where dinner and an overnight stay will be provided.

Few safari destinations produce the same experience as the Ngorongoro Crater - the game viewing is simply effortless. Most animals remain within the crater because of its high walls, making this the perfect location to view every member of 'The Big 5' in one day. We will have a wonderful picnic lunch inside the crater.

This unfilled caldera is also home to hyenas, hippos, zebras, wildebeest, and an impressive variety of water birds. Your guide will enlighten you by sharing facts about the animals and vegetation while locating hidden wildlife. You will proceed to Fanaka Camp for dinner and overnight.

Nestled at the base of the Great Rift Valley escarpment, Lake Manyara National Park offers picturesque and varied scenery. We will have a picnic lunch in this beautiful park. Its assorted habitats, including rainforests, the soda lake, and the savannah, support a highly diverse ecosystem.

With over four hundred bird species, some of which are migratory, the reserve is a birdwatcher's delight. Lake Manyara is home to the legendary tree-climbing lions as well as buffaloes, elephants, giraffes, impalas, and hippos. Your trip will come to an end, and you will be transferred to the airport for your departure flight.
