4-Day Best of Northern Tanzania

After breakfast, your safari guide will collect you from your pickup point and drive you to Tarangire National Park (approximately 2 hours drive). Tarangire is best known for its elephant families, savannah, iconic baobab trees, seasonal swamps, and the life-giving Tarangire River. Animals gather at the river and giraffes; bushbuck and hartebeest are often seen. The park is also home to buffalo, zebra, and wildebeest. These animals are closely followed by a range of predators such as lions and leopards and rarely cheetahs. From the open roof of the safari vehicle, you will be able to absorb the landscape and watch the wildlife while in the truck. You will enjoy a picnic lunch in the park which includes a delicious lunch & soft drink. After a full day in the park, you will drive to your accommodation where you will be able to relax and enjoy dinner and overnight.

Today we will wake up early in the morning and after breakfast, we will drive into the amazing Ngorongoro Crater. The Ngorongoro Crater is the largest intact crater in the world. Later in the evening, you will transit through NCA to the Serengeti, entering at the South of the park.
Due to its natural borders, wildlife is abundant throughout the conservation area which is home to the Big Five. The crater spreads for 102 sq. miles and has 2.000 ft high walls, making it virtually Noah's ark and inhabiting almost every species of wildlife that is indigenous to East Africa. It's one of the very rare locations in the whole continent where you can witness the Black Rhino. The crater has a river, several swamps, a soda lake with a great concentration of flamingos, a forest, and open plains. It's also famous for its elephants which, are the largest in the world and have huge tusks.

After breakfast at the lodge, with a packed lunch drive to Lake Manyara for game viewing.
Lake Manyara National Park is one of the most beautiful places in Africa. The park is dramatically marked off by lush green vegetation consisting of tall trees of the groundwater forest, which provides home to troops of baboons and blue monkeys. Further down, the forest opens up into woodland, grassland, swamps and the soda lake itself, where over 350 species of birds, including the lively flamingo, pelican, sacred ibis, grebe and stork can be viewed. At the southern end of the park are hot sulphur springs called Maji Moto. Manyara is noted for its numerous buffalos, elephants, giraffes, impalas, hippos, as well as a great variety of smaller animals, and the very elusive tree-climbing lions.
