Trip Overview

In these five days, you will be able to visit 4 famous parks of Tanzania Northern Circuit in Mid-range accommodations. Start with Tarangire National Park for big groups of Elephants, Lake Manyara for tree-climbing lions, Ngorongoro & Serengeti National Park, trying to locate the big pride of Lions of the Seronera valley, where we believe, we have the best sightings of Lions in Africa. Apart from these big cats, there is also a great sighting of elephants, giraffes, gazelles, hyenas, Hippos, and birds.

Day 1: Arusha - Tarangire National Park.

Pick up from your Hotel in Arusha, then safari briefing and after wards we depart for Tarangire National Park. Your first experience of safari will be the thrilling game drive through the vastness of Tarangire National Park, arrive in good time for lunch. Afternoon game drive through the park then drive to Karatu for Dinner and overnight at Farm of Dreams Lodge.

Day 2: Karatu - Serengeti National Park.

After breakfast we will take a picnic lunch with us and drive west across the gentle rolling ngorongoro highlands en route you pass Zebra and wildebeest grazing with the maasai cattle and young boys tending them, and maasai villages[Bomas]. After that, proceed to Serengeti and stop at the Nabi gate for lunch. In the afternoon we will be doing our game drive in the central Serengeti with great sightings of Lions, Hippos, Giraffes, Leopards, Reedbucks, and Elephants. Dinner and overnight at Serengeti Heritage Camp.

Day 3: Serengeti National Park Full day.

We do an after breakfast game viewing drive along the Sogore River Circuit, which loops into the plains south of the Seronera River, and which is good for possible Lion, Thomson gazelle, topi, ostrich and cheetah sightings.
In the afternoon we will follow the Kopjes Circuit, which goes anti-clockwise around the Maasai Kopjes, which usually attract a number of lions and some formidably large cobras. Kopjes are weathered granite outcrops, scattered around the plains, most of which are miniature ecosystems, providing shade and drinking water in pools left in the rock after the rains. This makes the kopjes particularly good for spotting wildlife in the dry seasons – including lions, which like to lie in wait for animals coming to drink!

Day 4: Ngorongoro Crater Daytrip.

After breakfast, we departed Serengeti and drove to Ngorongoro for a game drive at the Ngorongoro crater.

The jewel in Ngorongoro’s crown is a deep, volcanic crater. We venture into the crater floor for an up close at the residents of this World Heritage Site, and enjoy a picnic lunch here. The Ngorongoro Crater provides great game-viewing all year-round. The wildlife here makes up a permanent population because grazing and water supplies are plentiful throughout the seasons. Later ascend and drive to Farm of Dreams Lodge for Dinner and overnight.

Day 5: Lake Manyara National Park.

Following breakfast transfer to Lake Manyara National Park. There is a profusion of wildlife in this small national park, and the amazing bird watching experience will certainly be rewarding to both a devote and first-time bird watcher.

It is as well among the few places on the African continent to see the tree-climbing lions that will be your main quest for the day. Manyara in addition prides in a large flock of beautiful pink flamingos found near the lake. You will have lunch at a picnic site then proceed with game drive on your way out, exit and drive back to Arusha.

Drop off at your accommodation in Arusha or straight to the Airport for your departure flight to your next destination. End of Service!
