Day by Day Overview
After a short safari briefing in the morning, you will travel southwest towards the Tarangire National Park. The park has a diversity of landscapes including grass, acacia woodlands and forests and it is especially popular for its huge elephant herds and animals gathering at the river and swamps. Wildlife ranges from yellow-breasted lovebirds to kudu, buffalo, giraffe, zebra and impala. Predators include lion, leopard and hyena, while wild dogs are rare. In the late afternoon, you will leave the park to travel to a nearby campsite, where you will spend the night in tents.
Campsite: Lunch, Dinner
After breakfast, you will leave the area around Tarangire National Park and drive via the town of Mto wa Mbu to the Lake Manyara National Park. This park with its shallow alkaline lake stretches along the base of the Rift Valley Escarpment. Lake Manyara attracts thousands of birds, including huge flocks of flamingos. Other animals in the park include buffalo, elephant, hippo and Masai giraffe as well as troops of boisterous baboons and monkeys in the forests. The park is famous for its tree climbing lions and if you are lucky to spot them you will be amused by the site of these animals lounging on branches in the acacia trees. After a game drive in the park you will ascend to the Ngorongoro highlands, where you will overnight on a campsite situated on the crater’s edge with magnificent views of the caldera below.
Campsite: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Rise and shine! After an early breakfast at your campsite, you will travel down a precipitous trail into the crater. Its grass plains and acacia forests are home to almost all the species of animals found in the East African savannah. In only a few hours you might see all of the Big Five – lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino and leopard. After an extensive game drive and a picnic lunch inside the crater, you will leave the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and travel to Arusha (or Moshi).
