7-Day Tanzania Camping Safari through Serengeti and Ngorongoro

• You will be picked up at Kilimanjaro International Airport and transferred to Arusha town.
• You will meet your driver-guide, who will brief you on your upcoming safari, and then you can rest until the next morning.

• After breakfast, depart for Tarangire National Park for a game drive. First, you will stop at a supermarket in Arusha Town for any last-minute purchases before heading to Tarangire. The drive follows the Great Northern Highway across the Maasai steppe and many villages to Tarangire National Park. Tarangire is famous for its huge baobab trees and large elephant population.
• Spot herds of wildebeest, buffalo, zebra, giraffe, hippos, baboons, many antelopes, and the giant African elephant. For bird watchers, this is paradise. Over 400 species of birds have been recorded here, including rare species. Great kudu and fringed-eared oryx are among the rare species found in Tarangire. Predators like lions, cheetahs, hyenas, jackals, and the ever-elusive leopard also inhabit this park. Tarangire Park forms the central annual migratory cycle within the Tarangire-Lake Manyara ecosystem, which includes up to 3,000 elephants, 25,000 wildebeest, and about 30,000 zebra.
• In the late afternoon, drive to Migombani Public Campsite at the base of the Great East African Rift Valley for sunset watching.

Dinner and overnight.

(Breakfast, lunch, and dinner)

• After breakfast, you will have a short drive to Lake Manyara National Park and start the game drive after all park formalities. Lake Manyara is in a scenic location and is made up of overlapping habitats, including underground water forest, acacia woodlands, swamps, baobab-strewn cliffs, algae-streaked hot springs, and the large area occupied by the lake. Because of this, the park supports a large number of animal species and incredible birdlife. Lake Manyara has the largest concentration of baboons found anywhere in the world, and its most highlighted features are large flocks of flamingos and the Lake Manyara tree-climbing lion. Other animals to be seen are herds of buffalo, zebra, wildebeest, giraffe, warthog, and many antelopes.
• In the late afternoon, drive back to Migombani Public Campsite.

Overnight at Migombani Public Campsite close to Lake Manyara.

• After breakfast at your campsite, leave for Serengeti National Park. The drive passes through the beautiful high-lying farmland of Karatu and across the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.
• Stop at the Ngorongoro gate for check-in before driving up to the crater viewpoint and stopping for some nice pictures of the crater floor from the rim.
• Then drive around the crater rim and across Malanja Depression down to the world-rich Serengeti National Park with its endless rolling plains. While checking in at Naabi Hills Gate, you can have your packed lunch here or at the kopjes (rocky outcroppings) before heading to the central Serengeti area known as Seronera. Seronera is the richest animal habitat in the park, endowed with the Seronera River, which serves as a valuable water source to this area and therefore attracts a big number of wildlife well representative of most of the Serengeti's species.
• After lunch, start your afternoon game drive searching for big cats and the wildebeest migration, depending on travelling time.
• In the late afternoon, drive to Seronera Public Campsite.

All meals included - breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Overnight at Seronera Public Campsite, Central Serengeti.

• Get up early at 06:30 with a packed breakfast box and lunch box. We take you for an early morning game drive in the vast Serengeti plains, with the possibility of spotting cat families on the road as they avoid the morning mist.
• You may also see other nocturnal predators coming back from their long night of hunting, or a group of lionesses organizing a morning ambush or eating along the road, after which you will break for breakfast in the bush. Serengeti National Park is the scene of the Great Wildebeest Migration, depending on travelling time.
• After breakfast, you will follow the migrating herds and spend much time with them in anticipation of experiencing animal action such as eating, fighting, and even killing.
• Packed lunch can be served at the picnic site or in the bush. This is a full-day game drive in Serengeti, after which you will return to your campsite before or during sunset.

All meals included - breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Overnight at Seronera Public Campsite, Central Serengeti.

• Start as early as 06:30 am with a packed breakfast box, then go back to your campsite for an early hot lunch before heading to Ngorongoro Conservation Area with an en-route game drive.
• Arrive at Simba Campsite for sunset watching and a camping orientation.

All meals included - breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Overnight at Ngorongoro Simba Campsite located at the crater rim.

• Start as early as 06:30 after breakfast at your campsite. Descend over 600 m high walls into the crater floor for game viewing. Ngorongoro Crater, "The natural wonder of the world," was formed some 3 million years ago due to internal forces under the earth's crust. Supported by a year-round water supply and enough fodder, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area supports many animal species, including herds of buffalo, zebra, wildebeest, eland, topi, warthog, hippo, as well as the giant African elephant.
• Another big drawcard to this unique natural animal sanctuary is the dense population of predators, which include lions, cheetahs, jackals, hyenas, and the ever-mysterious leopard, which sometimes needs a binoculars eye to spot.
• The tour will take you to Lake Magadi, a large but shallow alkaline lake in the southwestern corner, frequently visited by hippos, flamingos, and other aquatic birds.
• In the late afternoon, drive back to Arusha City for overnight stay or drop-off at Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO).
