5-Day Tanzania Safari through Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater

• You'll 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 historic baobab trees. Giant herds of African elephants dominate the golden savannah, and screeching flocks of the striking yellow-collared lovebird may be heard from miles away.
• The flora and fauna roaming the scenic landscape of Tarangire include lions, giraffes, warthogs, ostriches, impalas, cheetahs, mongooses, buffaloes, and baboons. You will spend your first night at the comprehensive campsite or lodge.

• We leave for Serengeti National Park after you have completed your delicious breakfast. If you are fortunate, you may come upon unusual animals on the way as we pass through the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater. Tanzania's oldest and most frequented national park is also a World Heritage Site and is today branded as one of the Seven Wonders of the World. The Serengeti is renowned for the once-a-year migration of the herds and its ever-growing wildlife population.
• We will enjoy a picnic lunch on one of the kopjes (rock outcroppings). Our game drive will venture further into the park. After the game drive, we proceed through the Serengeti, where you will be provided with comprehensive camping facilities and a delicious meal.

• 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 flooded with the melodies created by birds as the returning daylight begins to light up the entire landscape. We will then travel to Ngorongoro, where you will be provided with dinner and first-class camping facilities.

• Soon after breakfast, we will descend into Ngorongoro Crater. The crater is also home to hyenas, hippos, zebras, wildebeest, and a special kind of water birds. Your guide will enlighten you by sharing information about the animals and flora, while helping you find hidden wildlife. Most animals stay within the crater because of its high walls, making this the ideal location to view every member of the Big 5 in a single day. We will enjoy a wonderful picnic lunch inside the crater. In the late afternoon, we will continue to Mto wa Mbu, where you will have dinner and an overnight stay.

Accommodations: Client's selection; public campsite, tented campsite, or lodge.

Meals: Water is included with all meals. Other drinks are not included.

• On our last day of the tour, we will experience the beauty of Lake Manyara National Park. We will enjoy an early breakfast to begin our game drive early enough to spot the huge five mammals. Nestled at the base of the Great Rift Valley escarpment, Lake Manyara National Park presents picturesque yet varied scenery.
• During the day, we will enjoy the shrubbery of the golden savannah, flowing rivers, and extraordinary wildlife. We will eat our picnic lunch in the heart of the beautiful park. Soda Lake and the surrounding savannah support highly diverse habitats, leading to the wide array of flora and fauna found in the park.
• With over 400 species of remarkable birds, several of which are migratory, Lake Manyara National Park is a birdwatcher's paradise. Lake Manyara is home to the mythical tree-climbing lions, as well as powerful water buffalo, large African elephants, towering giraffes, graceful impalas, and big hippos. In the late afternoon, we will depart Manyara and continue to Arusha to finish our safari. Visitors will enjoy the lovely scenery as we drive past Maasai bomas, baobab woodland, and rolling savannah plains on the way to Arusha.
