Tour Plan
Arrive in Arusha for overnight
After your safari briefing, you will depart from the hotel in the town of Arusha and drive on Tarmac Road for 130 kilometers to Lake Manyara National Park. The lake occupies a large portion of the park, the forest starts just when you cross the park gate along the base of the Great Rift Valley, and the hot springs are located to the park's west.
%The park is home to the famous tree-climbing lions, as well as the buffalo, giraffe, hippo, baboon, flamingo, ostrich, goose, and so many more animals. After your picnic lunch, you will take off for an afternoon game drive. In the late afternoon, you will head over to the camp of your booking for dinner and an overnight stay
After breakfast, you will head towards the Serengeti National Park by way of the beautiful, high-lying farmland of Karatu and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Leaving the highlands behind, you will descend into the heart of wild Africa, the Serengeti National Park, with its endless plains rolling in the distance as far as the eye can see.
You will proceed to the central park area known as the Seronera area, one of the richest wildlife habitats in the park. The Seronera River provides a valuable water source to this area of the park and attracts wildlife well-representative of most of Serengeti's species. Arrive in time to enjoy lunch and then head out for an afternoon game drive. Dinner and an overnight stay will be at the Seronera Campsite.
After breakfast, enjoy an early morning game drive along the Sogore River Circuit, which loops into the plains south of the Seronera River. This is a good location for spotting the lion, gazelle, topi, ostrich, and cheetah. The Serengeti Visitor Center, which is close to the Seronera Lodge and public campsites, is well worth a visit after your morning game drive.
%This nicely designed center offers some interesting wildlife displays, as well as a gift shop where you can purchase information leaflets and maps of the area. In the afternoon, follow the Kopjes circuit going counterclockwise around the Maasai Kopjes. On this tour, you will have the chance to view more lion and some formidably large cobra. Dinner and an overnight stay will still be at the Seronera Campsite.
After breakfast, you will depart for the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. There will be a stopover at the Olduvai Gorge which boasts of history dating back to the dawn of time. It was there that anthropologists, Dr. Louis and Mary Leakey, discovered the skulls of the "nutcracker man" and the "handy man", which both are very significant links to the chain of human evolution.
During this day, you might get to meet the indigenous tribe of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and be exposed to all the aspects of their lifestyle. You will be invited to participate in their traditional dance performed by men in colorful cloaks where they chant and jump, every man trying to jump higher than the others. After the welcome dance, you can visit a traditional Maasai hut which is the handwork of the Maasai women. They build them in one month's time.
The Maasai people are known for strongly upholding their traditional values and culture. After arriving at the lodge in time for lunch, you will then descend over 600 meters into the Ngorongoro Crater to view the wildlife for half of the day's safari tour. Dinner and an overnight stay will be at the Ngorongoro Simba Campsite.
After breakfast, you will depart for the Tarangire National Park. The park runs along the Tarangire River and is mainly made up of low-lying hills on the Great Rift Valley floor. Its natural vegetation consists mainly of acacia woodland, giant African baobab trees, and huge swamp areas. Both the river and the swamps act like a magnet for the local wildlife during Tanzania's dry season.
%The Tarangire National Park is home to three rare species of animals - the greater kudu, the fringe-eared oryx, and the ashy starling. After a picnic lunch, you will head out for an afternoon game drive. Dinner and an overnight stay will be at the Tarangire National Park public campsite.
Enjoy a final, pre-breakfast game drive then returns to camp for breakfast before transferring back to Arusha, where you will book a hotel for your overnight stay. This is where your tour will end.
