All Year Round
The hotel we select comply with our high standards and requirement per category.
If we didn't get a chance to talk about your safari plans when you arrived yesterday, we'll catch up on them after breakfast today, either at your hotel or as soon as you arrive at the airport. After that, we're heading to Tarangire National Park, which is about a two-hour drive from Arusha. During the drive, you'll see a lot of Tanzania's stunning landscapes.
Tarangire is well-known for its many elephants - it's a real elephant hotspot! But that's not all; you'll also have the chance to see buffalo, lions, wildebeest, and a variety of other animals. Keep an eye out for less common animals like kudu and oryx, as well as smaller creatures such as colorful lizards and hyraxes. If you love birds, you're in for a treat with many different kinds to spot, like the vibrant lilac-breasted roller and the large ostrich. The park is also known for its huge baobab trees and expansive grasslands. After a full day of animal watching, we'll return to our camp for dinner and a good night's sleep.
After breakfast, a short 30-minute drive will take you to Lake Manyara, a paradise nestled between Tarangire National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater, right by the vast Great Rift Valley. Lake Manyara National Park stands out for its diverse landscapes, home to a wide variety of animals. You'll have the chance to see the lake, explore a lush forest filled with monkeys and birds, spot elephants among the trees, and visit the famous Manyara hippo pool where hippos can be seen bathing. In the afternoon, we'll go to our lodge where you can enjoy dinner and spend the night.
After breakfast, we're off to the Ngorongoro Crater for a game drive, where lunch will be served on the crater floor, overlooking the hippo pool. This spectacular site is one of Africa's natural wonders, created over two million years ago by a volcanic eruption. Its fertile soils have fostered a unique ecosystem with the highest density of animals in Africa. As we explore the crater, we'll be surrounded by a stunning variety of wildlife, including lions, zebras, buffaloes, and the elusive black rhinos. This experience offers incredible views and close encounters with wildlife. In the late afternoon, we'll make our way back to the lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.
After breakfast, we'll head to the Serengeti, about 145 kilometers away, a drive of roughly 3 and a half hours. Once we get there, we'll have lunch and then go on an afternoon safari. The Serengeti is famous for its huge, open plains that amaze everyone, especially if it's your first visit. Over the next few days, we'll see lots of different animals in this amazing place. Every safari drive here is a new adventure, filled with surprises from the wild. You'll see many animals and beautiful scenes that change with the light of day. Remember to take photos, but also to just look around and enjoy the beauty of nature all around you. After a day full of adventure, we'll go back to our camp for dinner and to sleep overnight.
