7-Day Wonders of Tanzania

After breakfast, drive to Tarangire for a full-day game drive into Tarangire National Park, where your driver will set and prepare the table for a full hot lunch followed by a glass of wine/tea and coffee. In the evening, check into the lodge/camp for dinner and overnight. The Park is located slightly off the main safari route, Tarangire National Park is a lovely quiet park in Northern Tanzania that is most famous for its elephant migration, birding, and quiet authentic safari atmosphere. The majority of travelers to the region either miss out on Tarangire altogether or venture into the park for a matter of hours leaving parts of Tarangire virtually untouched.

After breakfast from the camp, you will be driven to Lake Manyara National Park for a full-day game drive in the park until the afternoon. During lunchtime, your driver will set and prepare the table for a full hot lunch followed by a glass of wine/tea and coffee. After lunch, continue with a game drive until the evening when we drive to the lodge for dinner and overnight. Manyara provides the perfect introduction to Tanzania’s birdlife. More than 400 species have been recorded, and even a first-time visitor to Africa might reasonably expect to observe 100 of these in one day. Inland of the floodplain, a narrow belt of acacia woodland is the favored haunt of Manyara’s legendary tree-climbing lions and impressively tusked elephants.

After breakfast, drive to Serengeti and try to catch and view the great migration. In the afternoon, your driver will find a great place where he will set and prepare the table for a full hot lunch followed by a glass of wine/tea and coffee. At this point, you will meet other guests from other companies who mostly have lunch cold with a sandwich, while our lunch services are known for their 5-star quality. After lunch, go on an afternoon game drive and view the great migration. Check into the camp for dinner and overnight. Serengeti is well known for its healthy stock of other resident wildlife, particularly the "Big Five", named for the five most prized trophies taken by hunters. The Serengeti is believed to hold the largest population of lions in Africa due in part to the abundance of prey species. More than 3,000 lions live in this ecosystem.

After breakfast, we will go on a full-day game drive in Serengeti NP searching for big cats and the Big Five. In the afternoon, your driver will set and prepare the table for a hot lunch followed by a glass of wine/tea and coffee. Later in the afternoon, drive back to the camp for dinner and overnight. A million wildebeest each one driven by the same ancient rhythm fulfilling its instinctive role in the inescapable cycle of life: a frenzied three-week bout of territorial conquests and mating; survival of the fittest as 40km (25 miles) long columns plunge through crocodile-infested waters on the annual exodus north; replenishing the species in a brief population explosion that produces more than 8,000 calves daily before the 1,000 km (600 miles) pilgrimage begins again.

After breakfast at the lodge, go on a game drive in the central Serengeti area in search of big cats and the Big Five. In the afternoon, your driver will set and prepare the table for a full hot lunch followed by a glass of wine/tea and coffee. Later in the afternoon, we head to Ngorongoro to the camp. Dinner and overnight will be at the camp. The only living things which look as if they really belonged to it are the Wild Animals. Between the animals and Africa, there is an understanding that human beings have not yet earned. Today, the Serengeti National Park, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, and the Maasai Mara Game Reserve across the border in Kenya protect the greatest and most varied collection of terrestrial wildlife on earth, and one of the last great migratory systems still intact.

After breakfast at the camp, go on a game drive in the crater. In the afternoon, your driver will set and prepare the table for a full hot lunch followed by a glass of wine/tea and coffee. Later in the afternoon we drive back to Arusha and drop you off at the airport. The jewel in Ngorongoro's crown is a deep, volcanic crater, the largest unflooded and unbroken caldera in the world. About 20kms across, 600 meters deep, and 300 sq km in area — the Ngorongoro Crater is a breathtaking natural wonder. We will visit Lake Magadi, a large but shallow alkaline lake in the southwestern corner, which is one of the main features of the crater. A large number of flamingos hippos and other water birds can usually be seen here.
