Day 01

Moshi-Arusha to Lake Manyara National Park

We will depart from Moshi to Lake Manyara National Park early. This captivating park is situated at the root of the Great Rift Valley escarpment, and the shores of Lake Manyara are obscured with the pink hues of flamingos. Lake Manyara National Park has the largest concentration of baboons in the world.

We will enjoy a picnic lunch inside the park, and in the afternoon, we will proceed to the Fanaka Campsite, where you will stay overnight at the camp.

Day 02

Lake Manyara to Serengeti National Park

After breakfast, we will depart for Serengeti National Park. The route we travel passes the crater rim, but we will not descend into it yet, as we will return after the Serengeti trip. There is still a small prospect of spotting some game along the way.

The Serengeti is currently categorized as one of the seven natural wonders of Africa. We will stop for an enticing picnic lunch on a kopje. After lunch, your game drive will venture further into the Serengeti to complete the tour for the day. The Serengeti Camp will ensure that you are provided with comprehensive camping facilities.

Day 03

Morning Game Drive in Serengeti and Transfer to Ngorongoro

Our day will begin in central Serengeti, and you will spend the morning viewing game. This is one of the best times to witness the food chain. You may observe hyenas viciously fighting for the remains of a kill from the previous night, and the fresh tracks will assist your guide in tracking down animals.

The Serengeti is Tanzania's oldest game reserve. The vibrant wildlife includes the African hedgehog, leopards, hippos, buffalo, elephants, the greater bush baby, wild dogs, lions, zebras, crocodiles, rhinos, antelopes, monkeys, chameleons, and baboons. Many birds migrate from regions of Asia and Europe. Aspects such as seasonal change and the migration of the herds affect the wildlife you spot.

We will depart for Ngorongoro shortly after lunch is served in the park and arrive at Simba Camp, located near the rim of the crater, in the late afternoon. Dinner will be served in the evening.

Day 04

Ngorongoro Crater Game Drive and Return to Moshi

We must have an early departure from the campsite, as this is the best time to spot game in the Ngorongoro Crater. We will enjoy a delicious picnic lunch inside the crater.

Millions of years ago, the crater was a massive volcano, and specialists reckon it would have been taller than Mount Kilimanjaro. The lofty composition of the crater encourages the animals to remain within the walls. This is advantageous for someone who aspires to spot each representative of 'the big five'. Your guide will use his impressive skills to locate hidden animals.

Your game drive will end in the late afternoon, and we will proceed to Moshi. That will be the end of your safari tour.
