6 DAY - BEST OF TANZANIA (Book Now)
Day 1: ARUSHA - TARANGIRE NATIONAL PARK (L / D) Transfer
from the safari capital of Tanzania, Arusha before driving to Tarangire National
Park. This baobab laced park hosts the greatest concentration of wildlife
outside the Serengeti ecosystem – a smorgasbord for predators – and the one
place in Tanzania where dry-country antelope such as the stately fringe-eared
oryx are often seen. For the more ardent bird-lovers might keep an eye open for
screeching flocks of the dazzlingly colourful yellow-collared lovebird, and the
somewhat drabber rufous-tailed weaver and ashy starling – all endemic to the dry
savannah of north-central Tanzania. Day 2: TARANGIRE NATIONAL PARK - SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK (B / L / D) Leaving the
Tarangire behind you will drive to Tanzania's oldest and most popular national
park, also a world heritage site and recently proclaimed a 7th world-wide
wonder, the Serengeti National Park. The park is renowned for its annual
migration; when some six million hooves pound the open plains, as more than
200,000 zebra and 300,000 Thomson's gazelle join the wildebeest’s trek for fresh
grazing. Yet even when the migration is quiet, the Serengeti offers arguably the
most scintillating game-viewing in Africa: great herds of buffalo, smaller
groups of elephant and giraffe, and thousands upon thousands of eland, topi,
kongoni, impala and Grant’s gazelle. Accommodation - Serengeti Sopa Lodge Day 3: SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK (B / L / D) There’s nothing
like an early morning start allowing you to experience one of the most ultimate
game viewing sessions. After a hot cup of tea or coffee you will soon be
wide-awake as you watch wildlife in its most active time. The cat family love to
make appearances in the morning, while the early morning light makes
photographing herds of wildlife a photographer’s dream. Accommodation - Serengeti Sopa Lodge Day 4: SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK - NGORONGORO CONSERVATION AREA (B / L / D) Say goodbye to the
enchanting Serengeti National Park only to be presented with another natural
wonder, the Ngorongoro Crater. This incredible formation is part of the larger
Ngorongoro Conservation Area, which covers more than 8300 square kilometres. The
actual crater is 260 square kilometres and 620m deep. The original volcano was
probably as high or higher than Kilimanjaro. Accommodation - Ngorongoro Sopa Lodge Day 5: NGORONGORO CONSERVATION AREA (B / L / D) To experience the
crater without the crowds you will rise early for your full days game drive.
Reaching the crater floor as the sun begins to rise, you will undoubtedly be
amazed at this natural phenomenon before you. The Ngorongoro Crater is home to
about 25,000 animals and is one of the last places in Tanzania where the Big
Five can be seen. The NCA is considered one of the World Heritage Sites and also
one of the International Biosphere Reserves. Additionally, the NCA is unique
because it is a multi-use conservation area - where the animals and environment
are protected but the Masai are allowed to live and continue their pastoral
lifestyle. Accommodation - Ngorongoro Sopa Lodge Day 6: NGORONGORO CONSERVATION AREA - ARUSHA (B / L) After a breakfast you will proceed back to Arusha through the dramatically but stunning Rift Valley in time for lunch before continuing with your onward journey. |
