- TANZANIA
Tanzania is one of Africa’s strongholds of wildlife. This guarantees a wildlife experience that will leave you dreaming of your next trip to this wildlife Eden. A six-day safari takes you to the Northern Circuit’s best and most popular wild destination parks, giving you adequate time to explore various parts of the Serengeti, as well as a day for each of the 4 parks.
DAY 1 – Arusha To Tarangire National Park
This is the day when your adventure begins! Our best guide will meet you at your hotel at around 08:00 am, he will greet you, and give you the brief of the day and you will both drive to Tarangire National Park. Tarangire is well known for its large elephant herds.
From the open roof of the vehicle, you will experience the seasonal swamps, savanna, and Tarangire River in search of many animals including zebra, wildebeest, buffalo, elephant, and giraffe. Enjoy a mid-day lunch by the picnic site where small monkeys will try to scare you off your meal.
After a full day in the park, you will drive to Bougainvillea Safari Lodge, where you will be able to relax and enjoy dinner and have an overnight stay.
DAY 2 – Serengeti National Park
After a wonderful breakfast, head to Ngorongoro as it’s a transitway to Serengeti. You will stop at the viewpoint to enjoy the beautiful view and take pictures, then depart towards the most famous national park in the world, the Serengeti. The driving itself, although long, is spectacular. 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 we call it in the local language, “endless plains”. The Serengeti plains will stretch to the horizon defying your senses and perception of distances. It is the home of the great migration and to 2 million wildebeests, hundreds of thousands of zebras and all kinds of antelopes.
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. After the game drive, you will drive to Seronera to your tented camp.
DAY 3 – Serengeti National Park
After an early breakfast, we will embark on a game drive to various parts of the parks. We will then return to the camp for lunch and park for a journey back to Ngorongoro where we will spend the night at Simba Campsite. The camp is just on top of the crater ready for an early descent in the morning.
DAY 4 – Ngorongoro Crater
After breakfast, depart the campsite and descend to the Ngorongoro Crater floor for a 5 hours of game viewing. The crater (covering a total area of 100 square miles) is host to the black rhino, lion, elephant, hippopotamus, hyena, jackal, zebra, and wildebeest.
Enjoy 10 minutes of stretching outside the safari vehicle at the hippo pool before ascending the crater wall back to the campsite for a hot lunch. Later drive to Bougainvillea Safari Lodge for dinner and your overnight stay.
DAY 6 – Mto wa Mbu Activities and Culture Tours
Mto wa Mbu is a fascinating melting pot of different cultures and tribes. Mto wa Mbu is home to approximately 120 tribes. There is no better place to gain some exclusive insight into the various cultures than in this vibrant village. Take some time out of the safari vehicle and start exploring on foot!
This is a day where you choose what activities you want to do since there are plenty of options such as a walk through Miwaleni Lake and Waterfalls. A walk in the green oasis at the foot of the Great Rift Valley, or a climb to Balaa Hill where you can have a scenic view of the whole town.
