This is a concise but highly rewarding tour. Traveling to iconic destinations such as Ngorongoro Crater and the famous Serengeti will give you a glimpse of Tanzania’s abundant wildlife. You will get to see a wide variety of wild animals, including lions, elephants, giraffes, antelopes, and many bird species.
Where you book your own stay in Arusha, be sure to provide a precise pickup location. The driver's phone number will be provided.
You will be picked up from your hotel at 8:00am and driven alongside the Great Rift Valley to the iconic Tarangire National Park for a full-day game drive. Your day ends at a lodge/tented camp, where you will retreat for your overnight stay. Tarangire is a breathtaking and fascinating wildlife destination—you will only realize how beautiful the park is once you arrive. With big elephant herds (bigger than anywhere else in Tanzania's northern parks), hundreds of baobab trees, and thousands of wildebeests and zebras, Tarangire is truly magnificent.
After breakfast, you will start your journey through the Great Rift Valley towards Serengeti National Park. As you approach the park you will be amazed by the endless plains and the high concentration of wildlife. The Serengeti also has the highest number of big cats in Africa and features the world’s largest migration of wildebeest and zebra. With some time here, you can witness predators hunting impalas, gazelles, hartebeest, elands, zebras, wildebeests, buffalo, and—on very few occasions—giraffes. Hyenas and vultures are also found en mass here. Last but not least, 480 species of birds call this place home.
This is your first full day in the central Serengeti. We recommend that you wake up early in the morning so you can watch the wonderful sunrise. You will then have a full-day game drive in the park (with lunch), before returning for your overnight at the lodge. The Serengeti hosts the world’s largest migration of wildebeest and zebra. With some time here, you can witness predators hunting impalas, gazelles, hartebeest, elands, zebras, wildebeests, buffalo, and—on very few occasions—giraffes. Hyenas and vultures are also found en mass here. Last but not least, 480 species of birds call this place home.
We suggest a very early wake-up and breakfast today before departing for the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. You will go on a short game drive until midday, at which time you’ll eat a hot lunch at the Ngoitoktok public picnic site. After lunch, continue with your game drive before exiting the crater back to Arusha for your departure home. Ngorongoro Crater is the world’s largest and most famous caldera. It is 19km in diameter and 260km in circumference. It features one of the largest concentrations of wildlife in the world due to the availability of water and food almost year-round. The crater has a river, several swamps, a soda lake with a great concentration of flamingos, a forest, and open plains. The Gorgor and Mwanduzi swamps are home to buffalos, hippos, and the oldest male elephants (they have the longest tusks ever) all year. This is also one of few places in the world with a high population density of black rhinos.
