6DAYS TOUR – TARANGIRE/ SERENGETI PARK/ NGORONGORO/ LAKE MANYARA

Pick up from your accommodation in Arusha and head to Tarangire National Park. This park, with its
endless grasslands, huge baobab trees, the perennial Tarangire River, and seasonal swamps, is home to the
largest elephant herds in northern Tanzania. Animals gather at the river, and you should be able to see
elephants, giraffes, bushbucks, hartebeests, dik-diks, waterbucks, warthogs, and reedbucks all year round.
Furthermore, the park is also home to buffalo, zebras, and wildebeests, which are always closely
followed by a range of predators such as lions. Leopards are seen every once in a while, but cheetahs are
rarely spotted. After an extensive game drive, you will leave the park in the late afternoon and head to
Karatu for dinner and overnight.

After breakfast, depart for Serengeti National Park. Leaving the highlands behind, we descend into the
heart of wild Africa – the Serengeti National Park – with its endless plains, rolling into the distance as
far as the eye can see. Then head to the central park area, known as the Seronera area, one of the
richest wildlife habitats in the park, featuring the Seronera River, which provides a valuable water
source to this area and therefore attracts wildlife well-representative of most of the Serengeti’s
species. Arrive in time for lunch and enjoy an afternoon game drive in the Serengeti National Park. You
will stay overnight inside the park.

This entire day is committed to wildlife viewing inside the Serengeti. The areas to be visited will
depend mostly on where the groups are generally found. Wildebeests and zebras are mostly
discovered in the short stormy period of October and November moving from the slopes of the north
to the primary fields of the south. Furthermore, during the more extended stormy periods of April,
May as well as June, they get back to the North. Our guide will know the specific area to spot the herds
and where the best views may be. You will spend the night inside in the park.

Dawn is a good time to watch wildlife and so you will be up early to join an early morning game drive. You
will return to the camp for breakfast before heading out for another game drive in the park. Here in the
Seronera region you will often see wildebeests and zebras in close proximity of lions and other predators
such as leopards and cheetahs. After a picnic lunch you will continue your journey towards the
Ngorongoro Crater. Once you have reached the crater rim you will enjoy fantastic views of this 600 m
deep collapsed volcano. You will stay inside in the park, situated on the crater rim.

After an early breakfast you will drive down the steep and narrow road that takes you into the crater. The
slopes are forested but soon the landscape changes to savannah. Here the wildlife is just breath-taking
and with a little luck you can observe the Big Five – lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino, and leopard – in just a
few hours. You should also see warthogs, wildebeests, zebras, hippos, and some of the more than 500 bird
species of the area. After a morning dedicated to game viewing and a picnic lunch, you will leave the
crater in the late afternoon and drive to Karatu, where you will overnight.

After breakfast depart to Lake Manyara Park which is famous for its tree lions climbing also known as
home of baboons, giraffes, elephants, hippos and much more. Enjoy your packed lunch in the park and
later afternoon head out of the park heading toward to Arusha for overnight or transfer to airport for
your flight to next destination.
