5-Day Tanzania Safari through Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro

• 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 scenic landscape of Tarangire is home to lions, giraffes, warthogs, ostriches, impalas, cheetahs, mongooses, buffaloes, and baboons. You will spend your first night at the comprehensive camping site or lodge.

• After your delicious breakfast, leave for Serengeti National Park. As you travel through the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater, you may be fortunate enough to come across unusual wildlife along the way. Tanzania's oldest and most visited national park is also a World Heritage Site and is now branded as one of the world's Seven Wonders. The Serengeti is renowned for the annual migration of the herds and its ever-growing wildlife population. Enjoy a picnic lunch on one of the kopjes (rock outcroppings).
• After lunch, proceed deeper into the Serengeti, where you will be provided with comprehensive camping facilities and a delicious meal.

• Begin the day with an early morning game drive in the central Serengeti. The savannah is an active landscape, and the air is filled with the melodies of birds as the fresh daylight begins to illuminate the entire landscape. Later, travel onward to Ngorongoro, where dinner and quality camping facilities will be provided.

• Soon after breakfast, descend into the Ngorongoro Crater. The crater is home to hyenas, hippos, zebras, wildebeest, and unique water birds. Your guide will share information about the animals and flora while helping to spot hidden wildlife. Most animals remain within the crater because of its high walls.
• This is the ideal location to view every member of the Big Five in a single day. Enjoy a wonderful picnic lunch inside the crater. In the late afternoon, continue to Mto wa Mbu, where you will have dinner and stay overnight.

• On the last day of the tour, experience the beauty of Lake Manyara National Park. Enjoy an early breakfast so the game drive can begin early enough to spot the Big Five mammals. Nestled at the base of the Great Rift Valley escarpment, Lake Manyara National Park presents picturesque yet varied scenery.
• During the day, take in the shrubbery of the golden savannah, flowing rivers, and extraordinary wildlife. Enjoy a 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, some of them 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, depart Manyara and continue to Arusha to finish your safari. Along the way, enjoy lovely scenery as you pass Maasai bomas, baobab woodland, and rolling savannah plains on the journey to Arusha.
