Day by day
You will be picked up at Kilimanjaro International Airport and transferred to your arranged hotel in Moshi or Arusha town. You will meet your guide, who will brief you on your Africa safari tour. You will spend the rest of your time at your own leisure and relaxation.
Your first day of your 5-day camping safari in Tanzania starts with the drive to Lake Manyara. Nestling at the base of the Great Rift Valley escarpment, the park is recognized for its incredible beauty. You can see many game animals such as buffalo, elephant, giraffe, impala, hippo, and others.
After breakfast, you start on your way to Serengeti National Park. A picnic lunch will be provided. On the way, you will stop at Olduvai Gorge, where anthropologists Louis and Mary Leakey made many significant discoveries, contributing to the theory that human life originated in Africa. After stopping for your picnic lunch on a kopje (rock outcropping) in Serengeti, you will continue further into the park and go on a game drive.
Halfway through your 5-day camping safari tour in Tanzania, you will head out on an early morning game drive to see nocturnal predators returning from hunting and animals waking up in the early morning light, followed by a day filled with more drives around Serengeti. Depending on the time of year and the migration of the herds, you can expect to see wildebeest, lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, monkeys, baboons, hippos, rhinos, antelopes, many birds, and other species.
After breakfast, you will proceed to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and descend into the crater for a wonderful game drive, with a picnic lunch, inside the Ngorongoro Crater, considered a UNESCO World Heritage Site. As very few animals migrate in and out of the crater with its 2000 ft. high walls, the Ngorongoro Crater has the highest wild animal density worldwide. Among the species are lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, hippos, flamingos, jackals, rhinos, antelopes, many birds, and other species. You might expect to see the 'Big Five' in one day.
In the morning, when the mist has cleared away, depending on the weather, you go on a nature walk at the northern crater rim of Ngorongoro Crater, inhabited by buffaloes, elephants, baboons, monkeys, and different species of birds. Escorted by a ranger or Maasai guide, you follow animal paths through the dense bush. Afterwards, you return to Arusha with arrival in the early afternoon to finish your five-day safari camping tour.
