DAY 1: ARRIVAL IN TANZANIA – ARUSHA

Our Best of Tanzania Wildlife Safari will start in Tanzania’s tourism capital, Arusha. We shall arrive via the Kilimanjaro Airport, where our Tour Leader will be ready to receive us and kick start our journey. We shall then head to our hotel in Arusha, where we shall check in.

On this day, if we have an early arrival, we may explore local attractions around Arusha. Otherwise, we can relax and enjoy the nice Arusha weather from our lodge; and prepare for our Best of Tanzania Wildlife Safari.

Night in Arusha.
DAY 2 AND 3: TARANGIRE NATIONAL PARK - LAND OF BAOBAB TREES

The Best of Tanzania Wildlife Safari will then head straight to Tarangire National Park. We shall enjoy game drives in this magical park. Named after Tarangire River, this park is indeed interesting and renowned for its high density of Elephants, beautiful Baobab trees and scenic Termite Mounds.

We shall enjoy game drives in the open savannah grasslands where many animals graze peacefully. We shall also enjoy driving along the mighty Tarangire River, where animals congregate for water. The expansive Tarangire Swamp is also a great site for wildlife viewing.

Nights at Tarangire.
DAY 4: LAKE MANYARA NATIONAL PARK – THE GREAT RIFT VALLEY

On this day, we shall enjoy Lake Manyara, a pristine soda lake in the Rift Valley. The local Baobab trees will illuminate our journey through this lowland region.

At Lake Manyara we see lots of birds and during good time, lots of flamingos. The local game is mainly composed of monkeys; with Manyara having one of the highest densities of baboons globally. Others include Savannah Elephants, Lions and much more. The lions of Lake Manyara National Park are very famous for their habit of climbing on trees. This has earned them the nick-name “tree-climbing lions”. Along the swamps next to Lake Manyara, hippos often congregate to shelter from the hot sun.

Night in Karatu.
DAY 5 AND 6: SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK

We shall then proceed to the mighty Serengeti National Park. We shall enjoy game drives in this wonderful park as we enjoy the scenery of these vast plains. We shall spend time looking around some of the famous rock outcrops, often referred as Kopjes. Look out for animals such as Leopard, Cheetah, Cape Buffalo, assorted Gazelles, Maasai Giraffe, Wildebeest, Common Zebras, Savannah Elephant and Lions.

Here you shall also get an opportunity to learn all about the famous Serengeti migration and get to follow in the steps of the Wildebeests in a lovely Kopje rock, modelled to imitate the migration cycle. This is always a highlight on our Best of Tanzania Wildlife Safari.

Nights in Serengeti.
DAY 7: SERENGETI TO NGORONGORO; VIA OL DUVAI MUSEUM

We shall have all morning to enjoy game drives in Serengeti. We shall then make our way to a phenomenal pre-historic site, the Ol Duvai or Ol Dupai gorge. This site has led to multiple archaeological and paleontological discoveries; and is often a highlight on our Best of Tanzania Wildlife Safaris. Home to the great work by Louis and Mary Leakey, this is a phenomenal destination. Some famous discoveries here include Zinjanthropus, Homo habilis and Homo erectus. You will get to learn all about the work going on at the site in a very interactive way.

From here, we shall continue enjoying wildlife sightings on our way to the Ngorongoro Highlands.

Night in Ngorongoro.
DAY 8: NGORONGORO CRATER

We shall then proceed to Ngorongoro Crater, a prime location on our Tanzania Wildlife Safaris. This is a large and scenic crater located at about 2000m above sea level. We shall have an opportunity to learn about the crater and also view models of the entire area. This crater is about 600m deep and has an amazing view both from the top and inside the crater. The crater is nestled in a pristine natural forest, full of beautiful indigenous trees. It is known as one of the wonders of Africa. Descending down the crater floor takes you through great scenery and you get to experience the local Euphorbia tree varieties.

Herds of wild animals are plenty inside the crater as well as wonderful views of the crater walls. Look out for the local Lions, Cheetah, Black Rhinos, Common Zebras, assorted Gazelles, Nile Hippos and Wildebeests.

We shall spend the most of this day in the crater, enjoying the local wildlife. Later in the afternoon, we shall head to our lodge.
