5 days tanzania safari tarangire, serengeti, Ngorongoro, manyara
Day 1: LAKE MANYARA Or Tarangire
You will be met by your guide and vehicle and driven to Lake Manyara or Tarangire, arriving with plenty of time for an afternoon game drive. Full-day game drive in Manyara or Tarangire, then head to a mid-range lodge in Karatu town.
Day 2: Serengeti via OLDUVAI GORGE
After having breakfast, you will pack a picnic lunch to enjoy as you make your way to the Serengeti, which is about a 4 ½ hour drive through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. During your trip, you will stop at Olduvai Gorge, where the Leakey uncovered the remains of Australopithecus boisei, a hominoid skeleton that is approximately 1.8 million years old, providing a notable connection in the human evolutionary lineage.
In a small canyon located just north of the Ngorongoro Crater, the Leakeys and their team of archaeologists from around the world discovered artefacts from at least three different hominoid species, as well as an intact set of hominoid footprints believed to be more than 3.7 million years old. The excavated fossils indicate that this area is among the oldest known sites of hominoid habitation globally. Following this, you will proceed into the Serengeti while also taking the opportunity for game viewing along the way.
Day 3: SERENGETI
Following breakfast, you will embark on a full day of game viewing in the Serengeti National Park with a picnic lunch in tow. In June, the migrating herds gather in the western corridor, getting ready to cross the Grumeti River. Even during periods of migration lulls, the Serengeti provides exceptional wildlife viewing opportunities, showcasing large herds of buffalo and smaller family groups of elephants and giraffes, in addition to thousands of eland, topi, hartebeest, impala, and Grant's gazelle.
Day 4: NGORONGORO CRATER
Following an early morning meal, you will proceed to the intriguing wildlife haven of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. This crater, a designated UNESCO World Heritage site, spans over 260 square kilometres (100 square miles) and was created when a colossal volcano erupted and subsequently collapsed 2 to 3 million years ago. Today, it stands as the largest intact volcanic caldera globally and is commonly known as “Africa’s Eden”.
With a population exceeding 25,000 large mammals, it’s not uncommon to observe all of the 'Big Five' (buffalo, elephant, rhino, lion, and leopard) in a single day. As you navigate through the Ngorongoro Highlands, you will reach the crater’s rim and then descend 610 metres (2000 feet) onto its floor to embark on your safari adventure.
Day 5: TARANGIRE – ZANZIBAR
You will travel to Tarangire, a destination that is essential for enthusiastic birdwatchers, featuring over 550 bird species, making it the most varied in Africa, including the Kori Bustard, which is the heaviest flying bird on the planet! The Tarangire River flows through the park, drawing a significant number of elephants, buffalo, giraffes, and antelope, especially during the dry season from June to October.
It is common to observe large groups of elephants wandering across Tarangire's grasslands or seeking refuge under the peculiar "upside-down trees" (baobabs) that can be found throughout the park. After a morning game drive, you will either be taken to your hotel in Arusha or directly to Kilimanjaro Airport for your next journey.
