8 Days Northern Tanzania Wildlife Safari

Meet our Safari coordinator at Kilimanjaro International Airport or Arusha Airport transfer to Lodge for briefing for safari and overnight. We will check your camping outfit and sleeping bag also you will have a chance to select you preferred meals during safari.

After breakfast, your driver-guide will collect you, and your safari will commence. It will take 3hrs driving to Tarangire National park, Tarangire national park is spectacular in any season and many of the migratory wildlife species can be found at the permanent waters of Tarangire River. Huge herds of wildebeest, zebras, elephants, elands and Oryx gather until the onset of the rain, when they migrate again to good grazing areas. Dinner and overnight at the lodge. Serengeti, defined as “endless plains” in Kiswahili, is inhabited by more than two million large mammals including more than a million wildebeest, hundreds of thousands of plains zebra, and Thomson’s gazelle. Large predators including lion, cheetahs and hyena are drawn to the area by the abundance of prey which migrate throughout the park. Smaller animals like rock hyrax, bat-eared fox, mongoose, honey badger, jackals, monkeys, baboon and African hare, with nearly 500 species of bird, also inhabit the area.

Drive to Serengeti National Park via Olduvai Gorge, which takes between 3 and 4 hours. Olduvai George is an archaeological site located in the eastern Serengeti plains, where early human fossils were first discovered. It has the amazing landscape that earned it the Maasai name Serengeti – Endless Plains. In the evening, enjoy a game drive in the Serengeti. Again this is a great time to view game – particularly the carnivores as this is their favourite time to hunt. Before dark you shall return to the Lodge for dinner and overnight stay. Early in the morning, after breakfast you will drive to Manyara National Park. This takes approximately 2 before entering the park. Frequently seen in Lake Manyara National Park are zebras, impalas, monkeys, giraffes, buffalos, hippos, warthogs among many others, overnight at the lodge.

After breakfast, venture out to the Serengeti’s watering holes, hippo-pools and other sites of interest in a full-day game drive. At midday, partake in a picnic lunch while enjoying the vastness of the Serengeti, with the largest concentration of plain game on earth. In the late evening return to the Lodge for rest, dinner and overnight stay

After breakfast, begin your day with a morning game drive in the Serengeti, and then later in the afternoon drive to Ngorongoro via Olduvai Gorge. Once at the crater’s rim, get some rest and dinner, overnight at Rhino Lodge where you will spend the night. Many smaller animals like rock hyrax or monkeys also inhabit the area along with nearly 500 species of birds. On the second day, after breakfast, full day in Serengeti National Park (morning and afternoon game drives).

After breakfast, drive down into Ngorongoro Crater and enjoy a full day game drive. This is undoubtedly one of the best places to see the rare black rhino in Africa, not to mention the prides of lion and the magnificent black-mane lions. There are lots of colourful flamingos and the variety of water birds. In the crater you are also likely to see leopards, cheetahs, hyenas, many members of the antelope family, and small mammals of all sorts. In the late afternoon we will drive onward to Karatu town where you can settle in for dinner and rest at the lodge. In fact, the crater has the greatest concentration of wild life in the planet. It contains a river, several swamps, a soda lake that, from the top, looks like steam, full of flamingoes, a forest and open plains. The large bull elephants that reside here have extremely large tusk, due to the rich mineral content of the volcanic soil and its grasses

After a well-prepared breakfast, you will begin your drive to Lake Eyasi. Here you will see a great variety of birdlife along the shore of this beautiful lake, and the location alone makes it a great place to spend a couple of nights. The meadows along the shore are home to a wide variety of wildlife including the elusive leopard, hippos, a variety of monkeys, and most importantly a host of both greater and lesser flamingos. Several very pleasant private lodges and tented camps are located in the forest clearings by the lake; these provide great accommodation and are made as much as possible from local materials.

Early in the morning, after breakfast you will drive from Lake Eyasi to Manyara National Park. This takes approximately 2 before entering the park. Frequently seen in Lake Manyara National Park are zebras, impalas, monkeys, giraffes, buffalos, hippos, warthogs among many others. Before dark, we will drive you to back to Moshi or Arusha for dinner and overnight stay.
