Tarangire - Elephant Paradise
Tarangire
In the morning after breakfast we drive to Tarangire. In this national park you have an excellent opportunity for game viewing. This seasonal safari park in Tanzania is a little gem on the northern safari route. Elephants are the main attraction with up to 3,000 animals living in the park during peak months. In the high season there are also many wildebeest and zebras, as well as giraffes, buffalo, Thompson’s gazelles, warthogs, larger and smaller kudu, eland, leopards and cheetahs.
Kankari Lodge
Ndutu Plains - Southern Serengeti
Serengeti
Today we drive to the Lake Ndutu region, which is located in the Ngorongoro Nature Reserve, a sublime landscape of the southern Serengeti ecosystem. The Ndutu Plain is famous for its short grasses and excellent visibility for predators. Lake Ndutu, like most other Rift Valley lakes, is alkaline. During the migration season, herds come to calve, which attracts large numbers of predators such as lions, cheetahs, hyenas, caracals, jackals, and bat-eared foxes, to name a few.
Ndutu Safari Lodge
Full day in Ndutu Plains
Serengeti
Wake-up in the Ndutu Plains. In February, several thousand calves are born here every day within 3 weeks. A unique spectacle of a great act of synchronized birth! The grass offers little protection, making the young easy prey for a wide variety of predators such as lions, hyenas, cheetahs and leopards. Wildebeest calves can walk minutes after they are born and are usually strong enough to keep up with the herd within 3 days. This unique natural spectacle will stay in your memory for a long time.
Ndutu Safari Lodge
Ngorongoro crater - Arusha
Ngorongoro Crater
Today we dedicate ourselves to the Ngorongoro Crater, which offers a breathtakingly beautiful backdrop and is the best place in East Africa to see the ‘Big Five’ (elephant, rhinoceros, buffalo, lion and leopard). Any safari in northern Tanzania should ideally include a visit to the Ngorongoro Crater. It is one of the most beautiful nature safari locations in the world and is rightly one of the most famous safari destinations on the continent. Later you will drive to Arusha for overnight.
