6-Day Tanzania Northern Circuit Mid-Range Safari

Day 1: Arusha – Tarangire Meet and greet by our professional tour guide/driver, who will deliver a short safari info briefing about your safari, after which we travel east to the Tarangire National Park with picnic lunch boxes. The park runs along the line of the Tarangire River and is mainly made up of low-lying hills on the Great Rift Valley floor. Its natural vegetation mainly consists of Acacia woodland and giant African Baobab trees, with huge swamp areas in the south. Both the river and the swamps act like a magnet for wild animals, during Tanzania’s dry season. The Tarangire National Park is reputed to contain some of the largest elephant herds in Africa. We will enjoy a picnic lunch inside the park and do two exciting morning and afternoon game drives, along the Tarangire River. Late afternoon drive for relaxation, dinner and overnight at your camp.

Day 2: Tarangire – Serengeti Today after breakfast you will start 4 hours' drive with lunch boxes to Serengeti National Park via Ngorongoro Conservation Area, we will break for picnic lunch before getting to Serengeti National Park, enter to the park for evening game drive. The Serengeti National Park is the world’s last great wildlife refuge as it contains an estimated three million large animals, most of which take part in a seasonal migration that is one of nature’s wonders. The area covers 14,763 sq kms and the name Serengeti comes from the Maasai “Siringet’’, meaning endless plains. Dinner and overnight to your camp.

Day 3: Serengeti Full game drive in Serengeti with picnic lunch boxes. The lush plains of the Serengeti have made it an ideal home to wildlife for millions of years. This ancient ecosystem continues to thrive and wildebeests, zebras, gazelles and giraffes are often seen grazing in herds. This is one of the best places in the world to spot lions dozing in a shade. Also, leaping after a marked prey or gnawing off a share of their hunt. Dinner and overnight at your camp.

Day 4: Serengeti – Ngorongoro Conservation Area Today we will have a half day game drive in Serengeti then after lunch we will drive to Ngorongoro Conservation Area. There are several documented resident lion prides just within a one-hour game drive radius from Seronera. During the dry season, the resident prides begin to shift west and north in their territories and concentrate in the central region of the park. The dry season is a particularly good time for lion viewing in the Central Serengeti. The Central Serengeti is also one of the best areas in Africa to spot the elusive leopard. You may be lucky enough to encounter this majestic cat in the branches of the sausage trees that dot the banks of the Seronera River. Dinner and overnight at your camp.

Day 5: Ngorongoro Crater – Arusha Breakfast then descend into the Ngorongoro caldera very early in the morning to view the wildlife on the crater floor with picnic lunch box. The Ngorongoro Crater is often called “Africa's Eden” and the “8th Natural Wonder of the World”. A massive extinct volcano, the sheet walls drop thousands of feet on the verdant floor below. Large herds of zebra, buffalo, antelope and wildebeest graze nearby while sleeping lions laze in the sun. At dawn, the endangered black rhino returns to the thick cover of the crater forests after grazing on dew-laden grass in the morning mist. You will have lunch at the picnic site near Hippo Pool. Later afternoon ascend from the crater and drive back to Arusha and dropped off at your hotel in Arusha. End of Services
