Experience the best of Northern Tanzania with game drives through Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater.
This 5-day safari takes you through three of Tanzania's most iconic national parks. Starting with Tarangire's famous elephant herds and baobab trees, you'll then journey to the endless plains of the Serengeti for incredible wildlife viewing before descending into the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Wake to the views of Mt Meru before heading down to breakfast. You will be collected by your driver guide and will traverse the floor of the Great Rift Valley as you head to Tarangire National Park for a game drive. Tarangire National Park, named after the river that crosses through the park, is Tanzania's sixth largest park and home to large herds of elephants. Spend the afternoon exploring the park before making your way towards Kirurumu Tented Lodge for dinner and overnight.
Today we have a long drive through arguably the best game park in the world. We will head to the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater and then descend into the endless plains of the Serengeti. The Serengeti is Tanzania's oldest and most popular national park. Its name means "endless plain" in the Masai language. Watch golden-maned lions stalking the migrating herds, spot leopards at rest in trees at dusk and take a hot-air balloon tour at dawn.
The Serengeti at sunrise is a beautiful sight and one not to be missed. This is also the best time for spotting animals so take advantage of the morning hours for the first game drive of the day. Afternoons are normally a lazy affair that ends in the late afternoon when the temperatures cool down and the animals start to be active again. At 4pm we will head out for an evening drive before returning to camp.
After the thrills of the Serengeti, we head out on a full day's game drive through the Serengeti towards the Ngorongoro Crater, pausing along the way to enjoy a packed lunch. After lunch, we continue our journey to our lodge passing through some incredible scenery and game rich country.
The Ngorongoro Crater awaits us. The Crater is a conservation area and a UNESCO World Heritage Site situated 180km west of Arusha. After an early breakfast, we will head out towards the Ngorongoro Crater, a large volcanic caldera, where we experience an amazing game drive on the crater floor filled with wildlife and said to be one of the most thrilling game spotting experiences. After lunch you will drive to Arusha or Kilimanjaro.
