You’ll also witness the unique annual migration of wildebeests into the Serengeti.

This best Tanzania safari can start in JRO or Arusha.

Day 2: Arusha – Tarangire National Park

We will pick you up from your hotel in Arusha at 8:00am and take you to a very special safari park in Tanzania. Tarangire is famous for its diverse landscape with nine different vegetation zones. The Tarangire safari park is particularly known for the abundance of ancient baobab trees (the largest trees on the continent), which fill the landscape and dwarf the animals next to them. The river in the park is full of wildlife ranging from a large variety of birds to lions, leopards, zebras, giraffes, buffaloes, antelopes, and, of course, African elephants. In fact, Tarangire has the largest concentration of elephants in the whole country and provides unique chances to observe the interaction between elephant families. In the afternoon we will still do a game drive before continuing to your accommodation.

Day 3: Lake Manyara National Park

Beautiful short safari across the Great Rift Valley until Lake Manyara National Park for a full-day game drive. Although small in dimension (205 sq. miles), Lake Manyara has breathtaking scenery and is well known for its lush acacia forest, giant figs, and mahogany trees, as well as a growing population of baboons and blue monkeys. Permanent residents of this park also include giraffes, African elephants, impalas, and a huge number of buffaloes. The lake is also home to a large number of hippos. Some unique facts about this park include the tree-climbing lions and flamingos on the lakeshore, as well as the ground hornbill and the crested eagle. The landscapes of Lake Manyara are something that cannot be described with words, and the game drives along the lake provide stunning photo opportunities of giraffes and buffaloes in the foreground and the lake (and its flamingos) in the background. During this day, some extra adventure tours are possible, including a bike tour or a boat excursion. In the afternoon, transfer to the lodge for dinner.

Day 4: Ngorongoro Crater

After breakfast, you will go to the Ngorongoro Crater, hoping the cool morning air allows for us to see some active wildlife. As the temperatures rise, we may head to the hippo pool to see these spectacular creatures enjoying a dip to beat the heat. As lunch approaches, we make our way to the picnic site on the lake, taking in the spectacular views and having a bite to eat before you head out on the final game drive. After lunch and an extensive game drive, we head to your lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.

Day 5: Serengeti National Park

After an early breakfast, depart towards the most famous safari destination in the world, the Serengeti. The driving itself, although long, is spectacular. You will drive up the crater highlands, making a quick stop at the rim for an out-of-this-world view of Ngorongoro Crater. This will be an unforgettable moment for anyone seeing it for the first time. As you progress well into the Serengeti, you will see why the name means, in the local language, “endless plains.” The park has 6,900 sq. miles (18,000 sq. km), and for most of it, the plains will stretch to the horizon, defying your senses and perception of distances. It is the home of the Great Migration and 2 million wildebeests, hundreds of thousands of zebras, and all kinds of antelopes, including the abundant impalas and Thomson’s gazelles. As for big cats and large predators, it’s the place of choice to look out for lions, cheetahs, leopards, and hyenas, with many television scenes like the famous river crossings having been filmed in this park. Smaller animals like foxes, mongoose, honey badgers, jackals, monkeys, baboons, rock hyrax, and African hares, together with more than 500 species of birds, also inhabit this park.

On the way to the park, you will have the option to stop for a visit to Olduvai Gorge, a famous place where Dr. Louis and Mary Leakey discovered the remains of the first man who walked on Earth. This Tanzanian safari includes a short lecture describing the archeological digs and geologic characteristics of the gorge, as well as a visit to their museum.
