5-Day Tanzania Safari through Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater

You will be picked up early in the morning and drive to Tarangire National Park, where you will discover the truly ancient baobab trees. The wildlife roaming this scenic landscape includes lions, giraffes, warthogs, ostriches, impalas, cheetahs, mongooses, buffaloes, and baboons. You will spend your first night at Fanaka Camp, where comprehensive camping facilities are provided. Dinner will be served in the evening by your chef.

After breakfast, we will depart for Serengeti National Park. If you are lucky, you may encounter the odd animal en route as we pass via the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater. Tanzania's oldest and most frequented national park is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site and has recently been branded as one of the Seven Wonders of the World. The Serengeti is renowned for the annual migration of the herds and its ever-growing wildlife population. We will enjoy a picnic lunch on one of the kopjes before continuing our game drive deeper into the park. After the game drive, we will proceed to the Serengeti Camp, where comprehensive camping facilities and an appetising meal will be provided.

We will 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 birds' melodies as the renewed sunlight begins to illuminate the entire landscape. Your guide will study the prints on the ground in pursuit of predators. Later, we will travel to Simba Campsite near the rim of the crater, where dinner and satisfactory camping facilities will be provided.

This is the perfect location to view every member of the Big Five. The unfilled caldera is also home to hyenas, hippos, zebra, wildebeest, and an impressive variety of water birds. Your guide will enlighten you by sharing facts about the animals, the vegetation, and by locating hidden wildlife. You will stay overnight at Fanaka Campsite, where your chef will serve dinner.

Nestled at the base of the Great Rift Valley escarpment, Lake Manyara National Park offers beautiful scenery. We will enjoy a picnic lunch in the park. Its assorted habitats, including rainforest, Soda Lake, and savannah, support a highly diverse ecosystem. With over four hundred bird species, some of them migratory, the reserve is a birdwatcher's delight. Lake Manyara is home to the legendary tree-climbing lions as well as buffalo, elephants, giraffes, impalas, and hippos. In the late afternoon, we will proceed to Moshi. Arrangements for transportation to the airport can be made on request, or you can be dropped off where needed, marking the end of your five-day safari.
