Mult day Amazing Safari

Arusha | Serengeti | Tarangire

Day 1: Arusha –Tarangire national park At 7am after breakfast, you will be picked up from the lodge by your safari guide and driven to Tarangire National Park.  Enjoy the wildlife! Overnight at campsite Lunch and dinner provided. 2 small bottles of water (500ml) per person are also provided. Tarangire National Park is almost 3000 sq km in size and is probably best known for its huge numbers of elephants and baobab trees. The name of the park comes from the Tarangire River which crosses through the park. Tarangire is especially spectacular during the dry season (June – November) as wildlife concentrations rival that of the Serengeti (since enormous populations of elephants and other animals are drawn to the Tarangire River as their only source of water). With its varied habitats and permanent water in the Tarangire River the park is home to over 2000 elephants and 500 bird species.

Serengeti

Day 3: full day Serengeti national park Option: Hot Air Ballooning in the early morning followed by Bush Champagne Breakfast After breakfast, enjoy full days in different parts of Serengeti! Overnight at campsite Breakfast, lunch,water and dinner provided.   The Central Serengeti offers superb game viewing all year round due to its abundance of resident animals. Specifically, the Seronera River Valley in the Central Serengeti is a ‘must see’ on every safari regardless of the specific month of travel. Game viewing in Central Serengeti is at its best during the dry season (June – November) as resident animals are more concentrated in the immediate area due to the lack of water on the plains. Resident herbivores include impala, buffalo, hippo, warthog, topi, hartebeest and giraffe. Resident carnivores include lion and leopard.

Ngorongoro Crater

Day 5: Ngorongoro Crater After breakfast, descend into the crater for a crater tour. Overnight at campsite Breakfast, lunch,water and dinner provided.  Often called the eighth natural wonder of the world, the Ngorongoro Crater is the largest intact crater in the world. About 2 million years ago the Ngorongoro volcano erupted, and its walls collapsed. The volcano floor sank to create a natural enclosure with its 600m tall walls. Now, at over 19 kilometres wide, Ngorongoro Crater is filled with great areas of acacia forest, hippo filled swamps and open grasslands. These different habitats contain over 30,000 animals – including elephants, warthogs, flamingoes, magnificent birdlife, the rare black rhinoceros and all the predatory cats. The Maasai can also be seen grazing their cattle alongside the buffalo and wildebeest.
