6-Day Tanzania Migration Safari with Tarangire and Ngorongoro

• Leave Arusha town with your guide and drive along the Arusha - Dodoma highway on a scenic journey toward Tarangire National Park, one of the main safari destinations in northern Tanzania.
• Stop by a supermarket on the way for any last-minute shopping.
• Arrive in Tarangire after about 2 hours. This national park is especially famous for its diverse landscape and nine different vegetation zones. Begin your game drive among the ancient and gigantic baobab trees, which make even animals like the giraffe look tiny.
• Continue your game drive until late afternoon, with a short stop for a picnic lunch.
• Look out for tree-climbing pythons and long-necked gerenuks, and see the park's high concentration of elephants, offering a unique chance to observe interactions between elephant families.
• Keep your camera ready to capture the beautiful scenery. After the game drive, head back to your camp or lodge in Manyara/Karatu, where a delicious dinner awaits you, followed by a good night's sleep before tomorrow's adventure.

Overnight stay at Karatu or Manyara. Meal: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner.

• Drive from Manyara/Karatu to Ngorongoro and descend over 600 m into the crater for wildlife viewing. The Ngorongoro Crater is one of the most densely populated African wildlife areas in the world and is home to an estimated 30,000 animals, including some of Tanzania's last remaining black rhino.
• Spot a wide variety of animals, including herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, eland, warthog, hippo and giant African elephants. Another major draw of this picturesque national park is its dense population of predators, including lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs and the ever-elusive leopard.
• Visit Lake Magadi, a large but shallow alkaline lake in the southwestern corner of the crater and one of its main features. Here, you may see large numbers of flamingos, hippos and other water birds.

Overnight stay at Ngorongoro (Ngorongoro Crater Rim). Meal: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner.

• Head to the Lake Ndutu area, located inside the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Like most other rift lakes, Lake Ndutu is alkaline; however, its water is still drinkable and is used by a wide variety of local wildlife. From December to April, the majority of the wildebeest migration can normally be found on the short-grass plains here. The area is also usually heavily populated with elephants, birds and resident game.
• Arrive at Ndutu in the afternoon and enjoy a game drive until evening before checking in at your camp or lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.

Overnight stay at Ngorongoro or Ndutu. Meal: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner.

• Enjoy a full game drive in the Ndutu Area.
• Explore a range of habitats, including swamps, woodlands, soda lakes and the world-famous Serengeti short-grass plains.
• See the great herds of wildebeest and zebra. Around February, usually for about 3 weeks, most of the wildebeest calve. The sea of grass provides little cover, making the young easy prey for various predators.

Overnight at Camp/Lodge in Ndutu Area (Ngorongoro Conservation Area) South Serengeti. Meal: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner.

• Head toward the central Serengeti National Park, also known as Seronera.
• Descend into the heart of wild Africa - the Serengeti National Park - with its endless plains stretching into the distance as far as the eye can see.
• Continue to the Seronera area, one of the richest wildlife habitats in the park. The Seronera River provides a valuable water source and attracts wildlife representative of most of the Serengeti's species.

Overnight at Camp/Lodge in Central Serengeti (Seronera Area). Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner.

• Depart for Seronera Airstrip and enjoy a game drive en route.
• Board a scheduled flight from Seronera Airstrip to Arusha Airport. Upon arrival at Arusha Airport, transfer to Arusha town.

Meal: Breakfast & Lunch.
