7 Days Tanzania Safari

 

Travel to Tarangire National Park, taking approximately 3–4 hours. Tarangire is a sanctuary for an unusually large elephant population. Majestic baobab trees are an interesting feature of the park. Animals concentrate along the Tarangire River, which provides the only permanent water supply in the area. There is a great diversity of wildlife, including lions, leopards, cheetahs, and up to six thousand elephants. Enjoy an afternoon game drive.

 

After breakfast, you will commence your drive to one of the most famous game parks in Africa, the Serengeti, taking approximately 4 hours. Serengeti is home to millions of wildebeest during the migration, and over the huge flat plains, you are likely to find lions, cheetahs, leopards, hyenas, and many other small predators. Your guide will choose the best wildlife viewing locations for the time of year. Spend time at the hippo pool, watching these enormous animals laze about in the cool water alongside the crocodiles, watching a lion stalking its prey, or being staggered by the scale of the great wildebeest migration. The journey from wide, open plains to the kopjes, volcanic rocky outcrops that provide protection and shelter for a wide variety of animals. This diverse and interesting landscape will provide you with the ultimate in-game viewing experience.

 

An early morning start in the Serengeti to try and find cats before they retreat from the blazing sun during the day. After a few hours of the game, drive to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, where you will spend the night. The Ngorongoro caldera is the largest unflooded and unbroken caldera in the world. At approximately 19 kilometers across and 590 meters deep, the Ngorongoro Crater is a breathtaking natural wonder. Ngorongoro Crater is unique in that almost all the wildlife lives within the crater walls; hence, you have the opportunity to find the game easily. You’ll want to wake up early to make the most of your day exploring the crater, where rhinos, in particular, can be seen regularly, as well as the pride of lions and other predators like the cheetah.
