This 6-day semi-luxury Tanzania safari offers the chance to explore the best of the Northern Safari Circuit. Encounter stunning wildlife amid diverse landscapes, including lions resting in trees, elephants grazing under acacias, and vast herds of wildebeests, zebras, and hippos, all within a collapsed volcano.
Your starting point for safari experiences on the renowned northern circuit is Arusha. Africa and the West meet in this vibrant metropolis in a dizzying and fascinating combination. It's also the ideal location to start your travels to neighboring countries like Rwanda, Kenya, or Uganda, as well as to Dar es Saalam and Zanzibar, thanks to its domestic airport (Arusha) and international airport (Kilimanjaro). Situated in Tanzania's northern highlands, the city serves as both the capital and home of the East Africa Court of Justice.
Main Destination:. Arusha (City)You will leave for Tarangire National Park after you have an early breakfast. The Tarangire River, which flows through the park, is the source of its name. During the dry season, the only water source for the local wildlife is this "river of warthogs." There are areas with abundant vegetation, such as acacia woodlands, elephant grass, and rich groundwater forests. Elephant families are a well-known feature of the park, and they frequently gather by the river. Giraffes, bushbuck, and hartebeest may also be visible. Predators such as lions and leopards often follow these animals closely. On the earth, Tarangire is home to more breeding species of birds than any other place. Throughout the park are giant baobab trees that are more than 200 years old. Take a late afternoon drive to your lodging for dinner and the night.
Main Destination:, Tarangire National ParkAfter an early breakfast, drive through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and into Serengeti National Park, making stops to observe wildlife along the way. The world's most famous wildlife reserve is unquestionably the Serengeti because of its unmatched natural beauty and scientific relevance. The greatest concentration of plains game in Africa can be found there.
The migration is arguably the most well-known feature of the Serengeti.Approximately 200,000 zebras and more than a million wildebeest migrate south from the northern hills to the southern plains each October and November in search of the brief rains. Then, following the protracted rains in April, May, and June, they whirl north and west. No gorge, river, or crocodile-infested area can stop them from moving since their innate want to do so is so powerful. The great wildebeest migration is a phenomenon that only occurs in the Serengeti. In the late afternoon, return by car to your lodging for dinner and the night.
Main Destination; Serengeti National ParkDrive out of the Serengeti and onto Ngorongoro Crater for a game watching drive after an early breakfast. One of Africa's most well-known locations is the Ngorongoro Crater, which is also thought to contain the continent's highest wildlife population. The Crater, sometimes referred to as the "eighth Wonder of the World," has gained international recognition and is drawing an increasing number of tourists annually.
Although it is unlikely that you will be able to avoid other cars here, you can be sure that you will see a lot of wildlife in an absolutely amazing setting. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Ngorongoro is unlike any other place in Africa! The endangered black rhinoceros can be seen there, making it one of the top spots in the nation. All five of the Big Five may be found in the park, which is also a great site to watch Cape buffalo and lions throughout the year. A picnic area will provide packed lunches. You will then drive to your resort for dinner and the night.
Main Destination;. Ngorongoro CraterAfter an early breakfast, you will take a game-viewing trip to the neighboring Lake Manyara National Park. You will see big groups of baboons on your first encounter. The Euphorbia tirucalli plant, sometimes referred to as "Emanyara" in the Maasai language, is the source of the park's name. The Rift Valley wall is a noticeable landmark all over, and patches of yellow fever trees are scattered along the green lake margins.
The park's entrance is situated in a unique setting—a groundwater forest that provides a lovely diversion from parks that are dominated by grasslands. The Rift Valley escarpment, enormous water birds, battalions of baboons, the soda lake home to thousands of pink-hued flamingos, the lush green flora, and tree-climbing lions make this safari a memorable one. A picnic area will provide packed lunches. Drive back to Arusha in the late afternoon to catch your flight home or to Zanzibar.
