4-Day Budget Camping Safari in Tanzania with Serengeti and Ngorongoro

• You will be picked up in the morning, and after a short briefing, you will head toward Tarangire National Park. The park, with its savannah, baobab trees, and seasonal swamps, is home to huge elephant herds. Animals gather at the life-giving Tarangire River, and you should see a selection of mammals ranging from giraffes, bushbuck, and hartebeest to zebra and warthog. The park is also home to buffalo, zebra, impala, gazelle, eland, and wildebeest, which are always closely followed by predators such as lions. Leopards are seen now and then, but cheetahs are rarely spotted. From the open roof of the safari vehicle, you will be able to absorb the landscape and watch the animals.
• In the late afternoon, you will leave the park and head to the nearby Kizumba campsite to spend the night.

Overnight in Manyara/Mto Wa Mbu.

• After breakfast, you will continue toward the fertile highlands where the Iraqw people grow wheat, coffee, and corn. You can see the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater as you pass through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Travel onward to Serengeti National Park, which you will reach by midday. Make your way from the crater rim to the Serengeti through the adventurous roads of the hollowed-out Ngorongoro while seeing animals, birds, and reptiles along the way. You will come close to Maasai culture as you pass one of their bomas and have time to see the huts, try their garments, and experience the culture. Serengeti National Park is the largest in Tanzania, with diverse landscapes and habitats, including grassy plains, swamps, lakes, savannah, and mountains. Here, the great wildebeest and zebra migration takes place, and depending on the season, you will have the opportunity to witness thousands of animals in their search for nourishment.

The Ngorongoro Crater is one of the world's most densely crowded African wildlife areas and is home to an estimated 30,000 animals, including some of Tanzania's last remaining black rhinos. Supported by a year-round water supply and fodder, the crater sustains a wide variety of animals, including herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, eland, warthog, hippo, and giant African elephants. Another big draw to this picturesque national park is its vast population of predators, including lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs, and the ever-elusive leopard on the crater floor.
