5-Day Luxury Tanzania Safari from Arusha with Serengeti and Ngorongoro

After breakfast, you will meet your guide for a briefing about your safari, then take a 2-hour drive to Tarangire National Park. Along the way, you will take in scenic views of the grassland plains speckled with ancient baobab trees, traditional Maasai houses, and cattle being herded by the nomadic people.

You will see what Tarangire National Park is known for - the famous ancient baobab trees, tree-climbing pythons, and the largest concentration of African elephants, lions, leopards, and cheetahs. After a picnic lunch at midday, you will resume your afternoon game drive, then drive to the lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.

Meals: Bed and full board

After breakfast, you'll depart from the lodge and begin the drive to Lake Manyara National Park. The journey takes approximately 35 minutes, and then you'll enter Lake Manyara National Park.

The park is truly a photographer's playground and offers some of the best game viewing in the world. You can expect to see many of Africa's most well-known animals, with the tree-climbing lions being a particular treat. These proud predators lounge in acacia trees, practically begging to be photographed.

Birdwatchers will find Lake Manyara an absolute delight, with a huge variety of birds on display in the park. Even the novice can expect to be amazed by large flamingo flocks, circling birds of prey, and the brightly coloured lilac-breasted roller. During the evening, you will walk to the lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.

Breakfast at your lodge, then you will check out and head out for one last game drive in the Serengeti. Following your professional safari guide's guidance, you will explore the Seronera River Valley, rich in wildlife and birdlife, or anywhere else in the Serengeti.

Your safari guide, as usual, will be in constant contact with other guides through the VHF high-frequency radios fitted in the safari vehicles, so he will have a better idea of the best places to explore. Here in the Seronera region, you will often see wildebeests and zebras close to lions and other predators such as leopards and cheetahs.

Later in the afternoon, you will drive back to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and check in at a lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.

After an early breakfast, you will descend over 600 meters into the crater to view wildlife. At midday, you will have lunch at the crater's base.

Ngorongoro is one of the 8th Wonders of the World, and the crater is a very important refuge for various wildlife. Most commonly seen are big bull elephants and the vulnerable species of black rhinos. The crater is also home to big herds of wildebeest and zebras, Thomson's and Grant's gazelles, hippopotami, African cape buffaloes, prides of lions, hyenas, serval cats, golden and black-backed jackals, and close to 400 species of birds.

Later on, you will transfer back to Arusha town or directly to the airport.
