Day 1: Arusha – Ngorongoro
On arrival in Arusha, you will be met by your guide. After an introductory lunch, we start our Tanzania safari by driving to the Ngorongoro Highlands to the Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge (or similar) where you check in for the night.
The Ngorongoro Crater is recognized as a UNESCO protected World Heritage Site and forms part of an international biosphere reserve. The crater measures approximately 300 sq km and measures about 19 km across. The floor of the crater is 600 meters below the rim, (which is over 2200 m.a.s.l), and is home to an abundance of wildlife including black rhino, lion, cheetah, buffalo, elephants and a plethora of antelope species.
Day 2: Ngorongoro Safari (Tanzania)
Today we will descend to the floor of Ngorongoro Crater for a fullday gamedrive. Our lunch will be served on the crater. At the end of the day, we will drive back to the rim and our bedroom for dinner and one night.
Day 3: Ngorongoro – Serengeti
After breakfast, we drive to Olduvai Gorge – a famous archaeological site known for the remains of the first man. From there we continue our journey to the world-famous Serengeti National Park.Lunch will be served at our lodge, Serengeti Serena Lodge or similar lodge. This afternoon we are taking our first gamedrive to the wildlife heaven. Dinner and overnight at the lodge.
The Serengeti National Park has also been declared a World Heritage Site and covers more than 1,700 square kilometers of Africa’s vast desert. It actually forms a single ecosystem and the Kenya Masai Mara Game Reserve, and plays a key role in the annual wildebeest migration that goes in a circular pattern between them and the Masai Mara (in Kenya).
The terrain is most famously characterized by the endless grassy plains dotted, at times, by millions of head of game – the classical ‘Out of Africa” feel. However certain parts also are covered in the Acacia savanna, densely wooded hills or rocky outcrops are known as koppies, as well as pans and lakes.
The abundance of African wildlife is of course what makes it such a sought-after safari destination, and includes healthy populations of lion, buffalo, impala, hippo, waterbuck, elephant, cheetah, leopard and a host of other game species – not mention the more than 400 species of birds.
Day 4: Full Day in Serengeti
On this day we will go for a full day game drive safari in the Serengeti national park. we would love to spend more time in this African wonderland so again we take picnic lunches with us so we can enjoy our lunch in this famous park in the world. Dinner and overnight at a lodge in Serengeti.
Day 5: Serengeti – Lake Manyara
After having our breakfast, we will drive to soda lake which is also the part of the Great Rift Valley (Lake Manyara National park). we will have our lunch time at Lake Manyara Serena or similar lodge. later after lunch we will have late gamedrive then dinner and overnight at the lodge.
Lake manyara national park is famous for its tree climbing lions, 77 % of this national park is taken up by the soda lake. The lake is a huge attraction to migratory birds and as such is an ornithologists dream. The variety of habitats including swamp, savanna, and dense jungle give rise to an equally wide variety of African wildlife, including buffalo, elephant, leopard, baboon, impala, giraffe, zebra, wildebeest, ostrich and hippo. The national park is just 125 km from Arusha and is, therefore, our last stop in this Tanzania safari.
Day 6: Lake Manyara – Arusha
After breakfast, we drive back to Arusha in time for lunch at a restaurant, which marks the end of our 6 Days Tanzania Group Safari.
