Days Wildlife Safari in Tanzania

This 6-day wildlife safari will immerse you in some of Tanzania's most renowned national parks, offering an opportunity to experience both the rich tapestry of wildlife and the pristine natural beauty, while gaining insights into the indigenous peoples who have inhabited these regions since ancient times.

Day 1: Lake Manyara National Park

Distance: 190 km

Non-game viewing time: 4 hours

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner included

After breakfast, the tour sets off. The initial stop is Arusha Town for any final purchases before we proceed on safari. We then continue to Lake Manyara. Lake Manyara National Park is renowned for its stunning vistas and diverse range of habitats, including Acacia woodlands, lush water forests, baobab-dotted cliffs, algae-covered hot springs, swamps, and the lake itself. This variety of environments allows the relatively small park to support a wide array of animal species and remarkable birdlife. Manyara is known for having the world's highest concentration of baboons, and its lions are famously known for their tree-climbing behavior. In the late afternoon, we transfer to our private bush camp located beside the lake.

Day 2: Lake Eyasi – Ngorongoro Crater

Distance: 100 km

Non-game viewing time: 4 hours

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner included

Experience an early morning hunt with the Bushmen, accompanied by instruction in survival techniques. Following this, you will be transferred to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, where you will descend over 600 meters into the crater to observe wildlife. Bolstered by a consistent supply of water and vegetation throughout the year, Ngorongoro National Park sustains a diverse array of animals, including herds of wildebeest, zebras, buffalo, elands, warthogs, hippos, and colossal African elephants. A notable attraction of this scenic park is its high density of predators, such as lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs, and the elusive leopard, which can be challenging to spot without a keen eye. We will also visit Lake Magadi, a large yet shallow alkaline lake located in the southwestern corner of the crater, known for its large populations of flamingos, hippos, and other waterfowl.

Dinner and overnight stay at Ngorongoro Simba Campsite or Lodge, depending on customer preferences.

Day 3: Serengeti National Park

Distance: 145 km

Non-game viewing time: 3-4 hours

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner included

After breakfast, set out for Serengeti National Park. Leaving behind the highlands, we descend into the heart of untamed Africa—the Serengeti National Park—characterized by its vast, unending plains stretching into the horizon. We then proceed to the central region of the park, known as the Seronera area, one of the most abundant wildlife habitats within the park. This area is distinguished by the Seronera River, which provides a crucial water source that attracts a diverse range of wildlife, representing most of the Serengeti's species. Arrive in time for lunch and then embark on an afternoon game drive in Serengeti National Park.

Dinner and overnight stay at Serengeti Seronera Campsite or Lodge, depending on customer preferences.
