4-Day Camping Safari in Tarangire Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater

• Set out early in the morning from Moshi and drive to Tarangire National Park.
• Tarangire National Park contains a range of different habitats, from grasslands and woodlands to low hills, scrub, and swampland in the south.
• Located southeast of Lake Manyara, Tarangire is well known as the home of elephants, where it is not unusual to hear of hundreds of sightings in a single day.
• It is also home to the mystical baobab trees, a favorite food source for elephants. Other wildlife includes waterbucks, impalas, wildebeest, zebra, and buffalo.
• The predators most commonly spotted here are lions and hyenas. You will also see the stunning birds of East Africa, from the Fire Finch to the African Fish Eagle.
• The Tarangire River cuts through the park and connects to Lake Burunge in the west. It is the key to life in the dry season, when much of the migration congregates here.
• We will stop at one of the many viewpoints in the park for a picnic lunch, then continue with an afternoon game drive.

• After breakfast at the campsite, we will drive through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area toward the Serengeti plains, a journey of approximately 4 to 5 hours. As we transit through the conservation area, the opportunities for game viewing are endless.
• The Serengeti is one of Tanzania's oldest and largest national parks, covering an area of 14,763 square kilometres.
• The park is a World Heritage Site, with the earth's largest concentration of plains game, mainly wildebeest and zebra.
• These are especially abundant during the annual migration. The population of plains game also includes buffalo, giraffe, and warthog, as well as a wide range of antelopes including Thomson's and Grant's gazelle, dik-dik, bushbuck, eland, and impala.
• Apart from Ngorongoro, the Serengeti is one of the best places to see predators in action. Predators include large clans of hyenas, lion prides, cheetahs, and the hardest to spot, leopards.
• We will have a picnic lunch in the park before an afternoon game drive and then head to the campsite.

• After an early breakfast, we will head out for an early morning game drive. This is the best time to enjoy great animal viewing, as they wake up and begin their day.
• Apart from the wildlife mentioned above, you may also be lucky enough to see other scavengers, including jackals and vultures.
• There are also around 520 bird species to be spotted, including storks, ostriches, and many more.
• After our morning game drive, we will leave the Serengeti and head back through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area toward the crater.
• You will have plenty of opportunity for further game viewing en route.

• We will have breakfast at the campsite before descending into the 600-metre-deep crater.
• The crater has a 19-kilometre diameter, making it one of the world's largest unbroken and unflooded calderas.
• The park covers approximately 300 square kilometres, where the landscape ranges from lush rainforest on the rim to bush savannas and acacia woodland.
• Ngorongoro is home to the highly endangered black rhino and the largest herds of wildebeest, zebra, and buffalo.
• Predators also live in the crater, and there is plenty of opportunity to spot a hunt. Most of the predators found here include lions, hyenas, cheetahs, jackals, and serval cats.
• We will enjoy a picnic lunch before leaving the crater, where plenty of wildlife can still be spotted.
• In the late afternoon, we will begin our drive back to Moshi.
