6-Day Tanzania Safari through Serengeti and Ngorongoro

• After breakfast, your driver will meet you at your hotel for an approximately 2-hour drive to Tarangire National Park.
• The park is home to buffaloes, zebras, and wildebeests, which are often closely followed by a range of predators such as lions. Leopards are occasionally seen, while cheetahs are rarely spotted. Tarangire National Park is also one of the best places to view elephants up close and admire giant baobab trees.
• Lunch will be served at a picnic site overlooking the Tarangire River.
• Dinner and overnight stay in Tarangire.

Additional Notes: This is your first day on safari, so we ask that you please pay special attention to the National Parks visitor guidelines and our company recommendations.

• After breakfast, you will travel via the cooler highlands towards the southern Serengeti National Park. This is the largest park in Tanzania and features diverse habitats and landscapes, including short-grass plains, savannah, thick bush, lakes, and bizarre rock formations called kopjes that dot the grassy landscape, where predators are often seen. The Serengeti is famous for its yearly migration, when hundreds of thousands of wildebeests and zebras trek in search of fresh grass and water.
• Lunch at a picnic site. Dinner and overnight at tented camps.

• After breakfast, you will enjoy a game drive in the Serengeti National Park. The areas you visit will depend on where the migrating herds are located. Predators follow closely behind the trekking animals, including lions, leopards in the acacia trees, and cheetahs. During the short rainy season in November and December, the herds move from the northern hills to the southern plains.
• They return north during the longer rainy season from April to June. As the migration depends entirely on the yearly rainfall, the location of the herds may vary from one year to another, although your guide will know where to locate the animals and where to see them best.

Dinner and overnight at camps.

• On your outward journey to the park gate, you will enjoy more game viewing before leaving Serengeti National Park in the early afternoon and continuing to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.
• On the way, you can also visit a Maasai Boma and observe their traditional way of life. You will stay at a lodge on the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater.

Dinner and overnight in Ngorongoro.

• After breakfast, you will descend 600 m into the crater for a game drive. This massive collapsed volcano is home to over 25,000 mammals, ranging from the Big Five - lion, rhino, elephant, buffalo, and leopard - to spotted hyena, as well as some of the more than 500 bird species.
• After an extensive game drive and a picnic lunch at Hippo Pool, you will leave the caldera. In the late afternoon, you will depart the crater and drive to Manyara for dinner and an overnight stay.

• After an early wake-up and breakfast, your game drive will begin in Manyara National Park.
• The entire territory of this park is crossed by groundwater streams that provide a favourable environment for plants and, in turn, for many birds, including pink flamingos, as well as African forest animals.
• Around lunchtime, you will visit Maji Moto (Hot Springs) and receive a personal lunchbox. After this stop, the safari will continue, and by evening, you will be transferred to a hotel in Arusha town to end your safari.
