Day 1

Tarangire

Day 1:

Tarangire

Today in the morning we receive and welcome you personally at Arusha Airport. We will introduce you to your safari guide and then we are ready to go. The journey to Tarangire takes about 2 hours via well-developed roads through the Maasai area and several smaller villages. Tarangire is Tanzania’s fifth-largest national park on the edge of the Great Rift Valley. The landscape consists of low hills with sparse acacia forests, huge baobab trees, and savannah grasslands. The Tarangire River is the main water source of the park and is ideal for wildlife viewing of all kinds. Herds of wildebeest, buffalo, elephant, zebra, giraffe, hippos, and many antelopes are waiting to be photographed by you. You might even get the well-camouflaged leopard in front of your lens with luck and good eyes.

Game drive for the rest of the day. At lunchtime, we will head for a picnic area so that you can fortify yourself from your warm lunch. But don’t let the cute monkeys steal your food while you admire the impressive landscape. Early evening arrival at Eileen`s Trees Inn in Karatu. For a well-deserved sundowner and dinner.

Day 2: Ngorongoro Crater

The crater is the main attraction of the Ngorongoro Nature Reserve and is often referred to as the “eighth wonder of the world”. The crater basin is the habitat of approximately 25,000 animals all year round. These include the Big Five (lion, elephant, leopard, buffalo, and rhinoceros) and many other species, except giraffes.

After an early breakfast, we make our way to the crater. After a short journey, we reach the still foggy, somewhat mystical Ngorongoro Highlands and drive down to the crater floor. Today you will spend marveling at the impressive landscape and looking out for the Big Five.

After a lunch break at Lake Magadi, a soda lake in the crater, during which you will enjoy your warm lunch box and watch the flamingos on the shore foraging, we make our way to the Serengeti.

Day 3: Central Serengeti

The Serengeti is a vast and impressive expanse of grasslands, savannahs, and forests that is home to one of the world’s greatest natural spectacles. The Serengeti is famous for its annual great migration, with millions of wildebeest and other herbivores crossing the plains in search of fresh grazing land. It offers safari enthusiasts a front-row seat to this unique natural phenomenon. A safari in the Serengeti promises an unforgettable adventure, allowing visitors to experience the untamed beauty of the African wilderness up close and personal that they would not expect.

On your full day game drive in the Serengeti, you will get closer to African wildlife than in any zoo in the world. Breathtaking encounters await you at the hippo pool.
