Pick up at your hotel in Arusha. Your driver/guide will bring you to Tarangire for an afternoon game drive.
The park is located slightly off the main safari route. Tarangire National Park is a lovely quiet park in Northern Tanzania that is most famous for its elephant migration, birding, and peaceful, authentic safari atmosphere. The majority of travelers to the region either miss out Tarangire altogether or venture into the park for a matter of hours leaving parts of Tarangire virtually untouched. The park is famous for its massive number of elephants, baobab trees and tree climbing lions. Visitors that will go to the park can expect to see any number of residential zebras and wildebeests in addition to the less familiar animals. Other common animals include waterbuck, giraffe, and olive baboons.
Meals: B, L, D
Serian Tarangire Camp
After breakfast, we will depart to game drive en route to the central Serengeti.
Millions of wildebeests, each one driven by the same ancient rhythm, fulfilling its instinctive role in the inescapable cycle of life: a frenzied three-week bout of territorial conquests and mating. Survival of the fittest as 40km (25 miles) long columns plunge through crocodile-infested waters on the annual exodus north; replenishing the species in a brief population explosion that produces more than 8,000 calves daily before the 1,000 km (600 miles) pilgrimage begins again.
Meals: B, L, D
Olkarien Eco Safari Camp
Breakfast at a full day game drive in Serengeti national park central Seronera area, evening back to the camp for the evening campfire, dinner, and overnight.
Magnificent Wildlife: “The only living things which look as if they really belonged to it are the Wild Animals. Between the animals and Africa, there is an understanding that human beings have not yet earned ..”- Laurens van der Post, Venture to the Interior, 1963
Today, the Serengeti National Park, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, and the Maasai Mara Game Reserve across the border in Kenya protect the greatest and most varied collection of terrestrial wildlife on earth, and one of the last great migratory systems still intact.
The Serengeti is the jewel in the crown of Tanzania’s protected areas, which altogether make up some 14% of the country’s land area, a conservation record that few other countries can match.
Meals: B, L, D
Olkarien Eco Safari Camp
After breakfast, we will have a full day game drive in central Serengeti National park.
In the evening, we go back to the camp.
Serengeti National Park is well known for its healthy stock of other resident wildlife, particularly the “big five,” named for the five most prized trophies taken by hunters: Lion: the Serengeti is believed to hold the largest population of lions in Africa due in part to the abundance of prey species. More than 3,000 lions live in this ecosystem. African Leopard: these reclusive predators are commonly seen in the Seronera region but are present throughout the national park with the population at around 1,000 African Elephant.
Meals: B, L, D
Olkarien Eco Safari Camp
After breakfast, a morning game drive in Ngorongoro Crater.
Late afternoon drive back to the lodge.
The jewel in Ngorongoro’s crown is a deep, volcanic crater, the largest unflooded and unbroken caldera in the world. About 20kms across, 600 meters deep and 300 sq km in area, the Ngorongoro Crater is a breathtaking natural wonder. We will visit Lake Magadi, a large but shallow alkaline lake in the southwestern corner, which is one of the main features of the crater. A large number of flamingos, hippos and other water birds can usually be seen here.
Meals: B, L, D
Endoro Lodge
Depart morning game drive at Lake Manyara national park, for a full day game drive in the park with picnic lunch, evening drive to Arusha drop to your hotel or the airport for your flight to Zanzibar.
Manyara provides the perfect introduction to Tanzania’s birdlife. More than 400 species have been recorded, and even a first-time visitor to Africa might reasonably expect to observe 100 of these in one day. Inland of the floodplain, a narrow belt of acacia woodland is the favored haunt of Manyara ’s legendary tree-climbing lions and impressively tusked elephants.
