5-Day Tanzania Wildlife Safari through Serengeti, Manyara and Ngorongoro

In the morning, get picked up from the hotel and drive to Lake Manyara National Park.

Upon entering the park, open the vehicle roof and start observing the wildlife.

Later in the afternoon, leave the park and camp at a nearby campsite.

Meals: Lunch, Dinner

After breakfast, the safari tour makes its way to the fertile crater highlands, where the Iraq people grow wheat, corn, and coffee.

At midday, reach the plains of Serengeti National Park. This national park is the second-largest park in Africa, the largest in Tanzania, and is about the same size as Hawaii.

Camp for the night at a campsite in the Seronera region (central Serengeti).

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

The whole day is devoted to observing the wildlife in Serengeti National Park.

Observe the herds of wildebeests and zebras wandering.

Stop at the Visitor Centre of Serengeti National Park (only with advanced notification; best at the time of booking).

Meet a staff member from the Frankfurter Zoologischen Gesellschaft (Frankfurt Zoological Society) at the center, who will tell you about their work in the Serengeti, their current researchers, what it entails, and the reason behind it.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

After breakfast, continue the tour through Serengeti National Park. In the Seronera Valley, observe wildebeests and zebras, as well as lions and other big cats such as leopards and cheetahs.

After lunch at a picnic place, slowly drive in the direction of the Ngorongoro Crater. On the way, pass Oldupai Gorge, which became world-known due to the archaeological work of the English research couple Leakey.

In the sixties, they found the oldest remains of a prehistoric person here, and in a small museum nearby, their work is documented (a visit is optional).

As soon as the crater's edge is reached, take in the incredible view of the caldera.

The campsite for the night will be on the crater's rim, where you can enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime sunset view.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

After an early breakfast at daybreak, drive down into the crater. The Ngorongoro Crater is the largest unbroken caldera in the world and fascinates with unbelievable wildlife diversity.

On the grass steppe and in the acacia tree woods, almost all species found in the East African savannah can be seen, with the exception of topis, Masai giraffes, and impalas.

Quite often, the "Big Five" (lions, elephants, buffalos, rhinoceros, and leopards) can be observed within a couple of hours.

After an extensive wildlife tour and a picnic lunch, leave the caldera in the afternoon and drive back to Arusha.
