7-Day Tanzania Safari with Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Eyasi

• You will be picked up by your tour guide from your hotel in Arusha and begin driving towards Lake Manyara National Park. The park derived its name from the Maasai word "Manyara," which is the Swahili name for the plant, Euphorbia tirucalli. The Maasai use this plant to grow livestock stockades, and it matures into a highly durable stock-proof hedge.

• Stop at a viewpoint to see the Great Rift Valley, part of a fault in the earth's crust that stretches 8,000 kilometres (4,971 miles) from Turkey to the mouth of the Zambezi River in Mozambique. The fault is so massive that when astronauts landed on the moon, the Rift Valley was clearly visible to them.

• Arrive at Lake Manyara National Park and go for a game drive.

Meals: Lunch & Dinner
Accommodation: Tloma Lodge or other

• After breakfast, proceed to Serengeti National Park, Tanzania's oldest and most popular national park, famed for its annual migration, when some six million hooves pound the open plains as more than 200,000 zebras and 300,000 Thomson's gazelles join the wildebeest's trek for fresh grazing. Yet even when the migration is quiet, the Serengeti offers a remarkable game-viewing experience in Africa.
• Arrive at the park and go for game drives to spot wildlife, including impalas, elands, long-necked giraffes, and many more.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
Accommodation: Acacia Seronera Luxury Camp or other

• After breakfast, proceed to the central part of the Serengeti. This park is well known for its healthy stock of resident wildlife, particularly the "Big Five," named for the five most prized trophies taken by hunters: lions, leopards, elephants, buffaloes, and rhinos.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner

Accommodation: Acacia Seronera Luxury Camp

• Proceed towards the Ngorongoro Crater, where you will start with an early morning game drive inside the crater. 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, and various species of birds. The Ngorongoro Conservation Area (NCA) is an extensive highland area along the eastern arm of the Rift Valley, with the world-renowned Ngorongoro Crater as its focal point.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
Accommodation: Ngorongoro Farm House Lodge or other

• Depart Ngorongoro Crater for Lake Eyasi to visit the bushmen and observe their activities, such as hunting and wild fruit gathering. The Hadza, or Hadzabe, are an indigenous ethnic group in north-central Tanzania. They live at Lake Eyasi in the central Rift Valley and on the neighbouring Serengeti Plateau. The Hadza number just under 1,000 people living as hunter-gatherers, among the last hunter-gatherers in the world.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner

Accommodation: Lake Eyasi Safari Lodge or other

• Proceed to Tarangire National Park, one of the largest national parks in Tanzania, located in the Manyara region. This place is characterized by large herds of elephants, tree-climbing lions, and the fascinating baobab trees, also called the Tree of Life for the almost mythical powers that some cultures attach to them. This park is especially known for the Tarangire River, which flows all year round and is the only source of water for wild animals during the dry season.

• Go for a game drive in Tarangire before proceeding back to Arusha. You will be dropped off at the airport or hotel.
