DAY 2:

• Established in: 1970
• Visitors: 161,792 (in 2012)
• Covered Area: 2,850 km2 (1,100 sq. miles)

Shortly after you are done with your breakfast (served around 7:54 a.m.), your safari guide will arrive at your accommodation to pick you up. With your safari guide, you’ll drive to the Tarangire National Park, and by 10:30 a.m., you will be at your destination, i.e., the first safari.

The Tarangire National Park is home to over 500 bird species, and this will give you a once in a lifetime chance to witness the best of Tanzania’s wildlife. Zebras, lions, giraffes and buffalos are commonly found in the area, as well as elephants. Mostly found at their favorite water source, the Tarangire River, these elephants are in groups and a sight to behold.

Since it’s a natural habitat, a safari guide cannot guarantee the presence of a specific wildlife species. However, rest assured our staff members will do their best to ensure that you get the most out of this experience.

At this point, we break for lunch, after which the safari will continue till the evening. At day-end, you’ll be escorted back to your hotel.

DAY 3:

Intact Caldera/Ngorongoro Crater (The Black Hole)

• Location: Ngorongoro District, Arusha Region.
• Governing Body: Ngorongoro Conservation Area Authority
• State Party: United Republic of Tanzania
• Area: 8,292 km2 (3,202 sq. miles)

The ideal thing to do is to start day 3 early so that tourists can spectate a variety of animals only found in the early morning hours. To ensure an early departure, lunch boxes for breakfast will be provided to be enjoyed on the route. At 6:35 a.m., you will commence your journey towards Ngorongoro Conservation Area, and within an hour, you’ll be inside the crater.

One of the most popular and exciting national parks of Tanzania is Ngorongoro as it’s the home to hundreds of rare wildlife species. In fact, this is the place with the highest number of animal species are found per square kilometer. On this safari, you’ll encounter elephants, wildebeests, lions, hippos and felines such as caracals and servals. On a fortunate day, some tourists also get to see rhinoceros – a species that’s facing an extinction threat.

The lunch will be provided in parcel boxes at the lakeside, after which you’ll continue the safari tour for a few hours and then transit to Serengeti National Park.

During this day, tourists are also taken to the memorial built in honor of two German researchers, Bernhard and Michael Grzimek. It’s on the back of the services of these two men that the Northern Tanzania Parks have survived in their natural state to date.

At day-end, you’ll be escorted to the hotel located in the center of the Majestic Serengeti.

DAY 4:

MAJESTIC SERENGETI

On day four, after having breakfast, the tourists head out towards the eastern and southern parts of the national park. Most part of the Serengeti is plain and wide, thus allowing visitors to spectate cheetahs hunting antelopes from a distance.

At the end of the day, you’ll be escorted to a hotel where you’ll have dinner and unwind for the night.

DAY 5:

MAJESTIC SERENGETI

On day five, after breakfast, tourists are transported to the central part of the Serengeti National Park. You can communicate with your safari guide regarding the wildlife of your choice, and we’ll try to accommodate your request. Around lunchtime, you’ll be escorted to the Serengeti Visitor Center, where you’ll be provided with lunch over an informative session on the wildlife existence in the park and the history of the Majestic Serengeti.

On this tour, there’s a high possibility of witnessing Hyraxes – the closest relative species of elephants found in this region.

Serengeti has a wide range of wildlife species which is almost impossible to be noted in words. Thousands of elephants, buffalos, giraffes, jackals, lions, antelopes, hyenas, leopards, cheetahs and ostriches can be found here, given that the tourists are vigilant and keen to enjoy the abundance of nature’s gifts.

Upon day end, you’ll be escorted to the northern part of the Serengeti, from where you’ll head back to your hotel.

DAY 6:

Majestic Serengeti

Rise early, have an energizing break and begin your drive through the northern part of the Serengeti National Park. A unique landscape with an abundant variety of rare species, this part of Serengeti is worth visiting. On the last day of your safari tour, you’ll encounter animals that you have never seen elsewhere.
