6-Day Northern Tanzania Safari with Serengeti and Ngorongoro

• Pick up at 8:30 AM from your hotel in Arusha and depart for Tarangire National Park with a picnic lunch.
• Go for a full-day game drive in Tanzania's third-largest national park, known for its majestic baobab trees that dot the landscape and dwarf the animals that feed beneath them. The Tarangire River is the centrepiece of this park and is famous for supporting some of the largest herds of elephants in Africa. Look out for lion, leopard, cheetah, lesser kudu, buffalo, oryx, eland, giraffe and zebra.
• After the game drive, head back to your camp or lodge, where a delicious dinner awaits you.

• After breakfast, head out towards Serengeti National Park and travel through the never-ending plain grasslands. The Serengeti is arguably the most impressive wildlife sanctuary in the world.
• Enjoy an afternoon game drive in the endless plains of the Serengeti and get a chance to see the great herds of wildebeest, zebras and gazelles, or a pride of lions lounging in the shade. A picnic lunch will be served during the day-long game drive itself.

The eventful day comes to an end with a hearty dinner and an overnight stay at your accommodation.

• Start your full-day game drive by 8 AM after breakfast. First, explore the central portion of Serengeti National Park. The legendary Serengeti is the most renowned safari destination for its incredible lions and leopards. The central portion of the Serengeti, known as the Seronera area, is one of the richest wildlife habitats in the park. It features the Seronera River, which provides a valuable water source to this area and attracts wildlife representative of most of the Serengeti's species. During the off-season of the migration, look out for lion prides in this region.

• After breakfast, go for a morning game drive in Serengeti National Park.
• Later, depart for the Ngorongoro Crater Rim with a picnic lunch. Ngorongoro Crater is the largest collapsed volcanic crater in the world and offers fourteen kilometres of isolated natural beauty. Surrounded by a ring of extinct volcanoes, the crater floor is dotted with watering holes and shelters some 30,000 animals. The eventful day comes to an end with a hearty dinner and an overnight stay at your accommodation.

• After an early breakfast, descend to the crater floor for a 5-hour game drive. See lions, elephants, zebras, hippos, flamingos, jackals, rhinos, antelopes and many birds. The birds seen here include eagle, vulture, flamingos in the Crater Lake, stork, bats, giant vulture, sacred ibis, kori bustard, blacksmith plover, long-necked heron and the cattle eagle.
• After a picnic lunch at the beautiful Hippo Pool, begin a steep ascent to the top exit of the crater. Then depart on a 2-hour drive to your accommodation in Karatu. A freshly made delicious dinner will be ready for you at your chosen accommodation.

• Begin the final day of your safari by 8:00 AM after a luscious breakfast. Today's destination is Arusha via Lake Manyara National Park, where you will enjoy a half-day game drive.
  • As you enter the national park by 9 AM, lush forests of acacia and mahogany trees begin to set the mood for what is waiting ahead. The game drive will continue until mid-afternoon, with a short break for a picnic lunch.
  • During the game drive, watch out for buffaloes, giraffes, impalas, baboons and blue monkeys. Another spectacle of Lake Manyara National Park is the tree-climbing lions; however, spotting them is a game of luck. In the right season, you can see the shoreline turning pink with millions of flamingos flocking there.
• By mid-afternoon, branch out and head towards Arusha, where you will be dropped off at your preferred location by about 6 PM. With an incredible experience and loads of memories to cherish, this is the time to bid goodbye to your team.
