Your first night will be spend outside the safari gateway of Arusha. Starting fresh the next morning your safari guide will drive you to Tarangire National Park. This game reserve is home to the migration of wildlife from the Masai Steppe to the east and so in season is rich in wildlife. Elephants are dominant here and are photogenic with a backdrop of baobab trees.
Moving on a short safari in Lake Manyara National Park is good for bird life and for lions that are know to climb trees here. Climbing the steep side of the Rift Valley wall you reach the Highlands, an agricultural area before ascending further to Ngorongoro Crater rim with spectacular views to the crate floor. You will overnight at a lodge on the rim with anticipation for the coming day.
A safari in Ngorongoro Crater is one of the most iconic safari drives in Africa. There is just so much wildlife playing out life on the crater floor in a full variety of habitats, from woodland glades to marsh and lake. A truly wonderful day on safari.
To the west lies the great grasslands of the Serengeti, home to the great migration and so much more wildlife. A great choice of camps and lodges await and safari activities are primarily game drives but nevertheless it is a memorable location to be on safari and concludes this tour across northern Tanzania.
From Seronera you can fly back to Arusha to connect with your international departure or return by road.
