6-Day Highlights Tanzania Safari

Day 1 Tarangire National Park

In the morning you will be collected from your Hotel in Arusha by your personal Safari Guide. The drive 2 hours to Tarangire National Park is on a good tarmac road and a short rough road, across the gently rolling Masai plains with scattered acacia trees.

The park is well known for its large elephant herds and abundance of Ancient Baobab trees. From the open roof of the vehicle we will experience the seasonal swamps, savanna and Tarangire River which is full of wildlife ranging from a large variety of birds to giraffes, impalas, zebras, lions, leopards, elands, warthogs and elephants

Day 2 Lake Manyara National Park

Today we will begin our program at around 9:30am after having our breakfast. We will drive 40mins to the gate of Lake Manyara National Park.
The park’s namesake is a shallow, salt lake. It covers a large area of the park, flooding and drying with the seasons and is home to thousands of flamingos and over 500 other bird species. On your exploration of the park you will see monkeys, giraffe, zebra, wildebeest, buffalo, elephant and with some luck, lions lounging in the trees.

Lunch at around 1:00pm in the picnic area inside the park.

Day 3-4 Serengeti National park
After breakfast drive up the crater highlands, stopping at the rim for a specatcular view of the Ngorongoro Crater. Continuing as far as the eye can see is the vast Serengeti. Serengeti mean “endless plain” and this 6900 sq. mile (18000 sq. km) park is inhabited by more than 2 million wildebeest. From January to April is the season when wildebeest give birth to their calves and also hundreds of thousands of plains zebras and Thomson’s gazelles. Large predators including lions, cheetahs and hyenas are drawn to the area by this abundance of prey which migrate throughout the park. Many smaller animals like rock hyrax, bat eared foxes, mongoose, honey badger, jackals, monkeys, baboons and African hares also inhabit the area along with nearly 500 species of birds. After the game drive, we will drive to Africa Safari Ikoma for dinner and overnight.

Day 5 Serengeti to Ngorongoro Conservation Area
After breakfast you will head out for game drive through the Serengeti towards Ngorongoro Crater where animals roam freely through the unfenced reserves offering you an uninterrupted game viewing experience

Lunch at around 1:00pm at Nabi gate in Serengeti

Day 6 Ngorongoro Crater and Arusha
Very early in the morning, descend down to the crater floor for a day of wildlife viewing in one of the most incredible places on Earth.

After lunch inside the crater, drive up the steep road out of the crater and return to Arusha.

You will arrive back in Arusha at approximately 5.00 p.m., where your safari will end.
