7-Day Tanzania Wildlife Safari through Serengeti and Ngorongoro

• Meet your local guide at 8 am at your hotel in Arusha and head off to the beguiling and often-overlooked Arusha National Park. Arusha is a jewel of Tanzania, with a diversity of plant and animal life that will take your breath away.
• Explore the shores of tranquil Lake Momella, which reflects the colours of the sky in its still waters.
• Experience the vibrancy of the bronzed bush, where Ngurduto Crater buffalo, waterbuck, giraffe, warthogs, zebra, and gazelle busy themselves.
• Get an opportunity to set out on foot for a fascinating stroll, accompanied by an armed ranger who will guide you through the lush forest to the clear springs of a sparkling waterfall.
• Learn about the biodiversity of the park and spot a tribe of black and white colobus monkeys, famous in the park for their acrobatics. Spend the night in the park and enjoy a delicious dinner under a sky ablaze with stars before a restful sleep.

Accommodation: Panorama campsite

• Energize yourself with a hearty breakfast before heading off to Tarangire National Park, named after the river that flows across the park and is the only source of water for the animals during the dry season.
• Get a chance to spot Omo, the white giraffe who has a genetic condition called leucism. She's perfectly healthy, just almost perfectly white.
• See a remarkable selection of wildlife, including elephants, lions, warthogs, impalas, cheetahs, buffalo, and baboons.
• Head to Mto Wa Mbu and arrive in the late afternoon.
• Get a chance to relax, absorb the sights, and finish the evening with a tasty dinner before taking a rest.

Accommodation: Panorama campsite.

• Have a good breakfast and drive to the world-famous Serengeti National Park, which is home to the world's largest concentration of wildlife, including zebra, gazelle, lions, wildebeest, elephant, and giraffes.
• Stop for a well-earned break for lunch on a kopje (rock outcropping), gazing down at the incredible views while you eat and preparing yourself for your adventures deeper into the park.
• Get settled in the Serengeti, enjoy an appetizing dinner, watch a golden and pink sunset, and pick out the first stars as they appear in the darkening sky.

Accommodation: Nyani campsite

• Begin your day at the centre of the majestic Serengeti.
• Have a nourishing breakfast and continue your journey into the plains for a full-day game drive that will allow you to spot hundreds of the diverse animals that find their home within the Serengeti's endless plains.
• Get a chance to gaze at some of the park's lesser-known but equally fascinating animals, including the majestic eland, the clever hyena, the graceful gazelle, stolid crocodiles, and, of course, giraffe, zebra, monkeys, baboons, hippos, rhinos, and antelope.
• Witness one of the modern natural wonders of the world, the Great Migration of wildebeest and zebra, if you are there at the right time.
• Spend the night in the Serengeti, which is well known for animal sightings.

Accommodation: Nyani campsite

• Go on an early morning game drive when the park wakes up and is alive with the calls of the animals. This is a time for tracking. As dawn breaks, the birds' melodies begin to harmonize, the early morning air starts to warm, and you can hear different calls as other animals start their day.
• Get a chance to see more hippos; perhaps a troop of monkeys or a family of mongooses will grab your attention. Enjoy a delicious lunch, which will be served at the park.
• Begin your Ngorongoro adventure in the afternoon by heading off to the lodge or campsite. Spend the evening enjoying a tasty dinner and relaxing under the stars.

Accommodation: Simba campsite

• Travel into the crater, which is known as "Africa's Garden of Eden"; its unique geological formation is at the root of its diversity. Because the crater sides are a barrier to many species migrating in or out, the crater is packed full of wildlife, and there is an excellent chance of spotting Africa's Big Five.
• Get a chance to encounter vultures, zebra, hippos, wildebeest, and hyenas. Discover all the glorious wonders of nature in this unique place.
• Take a rest at the lodge/campsite overnight before your journey to the wonders of Lake Manyara National Park.

Accommodation: Panorama campsite

• Head off to Lake Manyara National Park, which extends for miles along the emerald base of the gold-flecked Rift Valley escarpment. The park is a patchwork of forest, arid scrubland, and Soda Lake, and a paradise for bird lovers.
• Enjoy a delicious picnic lunch served in the park before your drive back to Arusha, where your safari adventure ends.
• Transfer to Arusha.
