However, it is more well-known for its great migrating herds of zebras and wildebeest. The animals’ trek is determined by the rainfall and varies from year to year. In November and December, the animals move from the northern region, dominated by woodlands and hills, to the grassy plains of the south. During the longer rainy season from April to June, they return to the north. Apart from the migrating herds, you might have the chance to see predators, such as leopards, cheetahs and lions, always lurking close by.

Day - Day Itinerary

ARRIVE IN TANZANIA

You will be picked up at the Kilimanjaro International Airport and transferred to your hotel in Moshi/Arusha town, you will meet our guide who will brief you on your upcoming trip.

In the morning pick up from your hotel in Arusha and drive to Tarangire National Park for game drives. 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 is reputed to contain some of the largest elephant herds in Africa from June to October. The fierce sun sucks the moisture from the landscape, baking the earth a dusty red and the withered grass as brittle as straw. This African National Park is also home to three rare species of animals – the Greater Kudu and the Fringed-eared Oryx. After a picnic lunch we do an afternoon game drive for more animal-spotting and wildlife experiences, after which you will be driven to Kudu Campsite in Karatu for overnight and dinner.
Main Destination: Tarangire National Park
Accommodation: Budget camping, Just outside Tarangire NP
Meals & Drinks:

In the early morning, we will continue our journey to Lake Manyara National Park. The park encompasses the northwest bank and part of the Lake Manyara which itself rests in the Great Rift Valley. The park is perhaps best known for its flamingos, pelicans and cormorants but it is also the home for hundreds of other bird species; it is therefore a paradise for ornithologists. With a bit of luck you might see elephants and with even more fortune the tree-climbing lions. It was thought for a long time that the Lake Manyara is the only place where lions can be found with this behavior of climbing trees. Baboons and velvet monkeys are found in the forested areas and giraffes nibble at the fresh leaves while the various types of antelopes searching for tasty shoots. After a picnic lunch, there will be more time for further game-drives before it is time to continue towards the Ngorongoro Crater, where you will dinner and overnight close to the rim of the crater at Simba Campsite.
Main Destination: Lake Manyara National Park
Accommodation: Budget camping, Outside Lake Manyara NP

Game drives through the Ngorongoro Crater begin early in the morning in safari vehicles with pop-up roofs – departure from your accommodation will therefore be around 6:00 or 7:00 AM. The descent into the crater is one of scenic beauty, as you make your way through lush forests, home to numerous elephants and buffaloes. As you reach the inside of the crater, your guide will take you through the grassy crater floor, the unbelievable fever tree forest, the banks of Lake Magadi and the surrounding marshes. The crater, which formed when a giant volcano exploded and collapsed on itself some two to three million years ago, is mostly open grassland with two small wooded areas. Lunch is served picnic style, surrounded by the natural wonders around you as well as the exceptional wildlife with which you share this extraordinary paradise. After lunch and a short game-drive, you will be taken back to Arusha where you will be dropped at your accommodation around dinner time.
