Mores than pictures

Experience some of the best National parks and game viewing areas in Tanzania. Starting with the Tarangire to Ngorongoro Crater to the famous plains of the Serengeti.
Our safari vehicles with the thatched roof for shade against sunny African wilderness; are the extended body with roomy seats for comfortable sitting and stretching out legs. Every guest is accessible to the window seat. Cars are also fitted with fridges, power charge sockets and VHF radio calls for easy and fast communication with the base office.

DAY 1: ARRIVE IN TANZANIA.
Arrive anytime at Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO).
We will arrange a private transfer from Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO), to Arusha at Moivaro Lodge, where the rest of the day is at leisure. We stay at Moivaro Lodge, which is beautifully located on the Kilimanjaro viewpoint and is a perfect place to prepare for your adventure.
We will gather in the hotel for a pre-safari briefing and an equipment check.
We will also confirm you have the appropriate mandatory medical coverage and travel insurance.
Dinner and overnight at Moivaro Lodge: full board.


DAY 2: GAME DRIVE IN TARANGIRE NATIONAL PARK.

Today we drive to Tarangire National Park, for excellent game viewing. Tarangire is a small park which offers some excellent sights. Generally, in the dry seasons, Tarangire comes alive as wildlife and birdlife congregate on the Tarangire River, which is a permanent source of water.
We spend the night in our lodge beautifully set inside the park with stunning views and a unique atmosphere.
In the late afternoon, we travel just outside of Tarangire National Park to Karatu.
Dinner and overnight at Eileen’s Tree Inn: full board.


DAY 3: GAME DRIVE IN NGORONGORO CRATER.

We start the day with an early morning game drive before heading to Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Ngorongoro is a special place in that it is a Conservation Area, not a National Park; this means that the whole area is managed for both the animals and the local Masai people who graze their cattle alongside the indigenous wildlife. During the drive in Ngorongoro, we have a chance to glimpse something of the Masai way of life.
After stopping at the entrance gate, where there is a chance to learn more about this fascinating volcanic landscape, we will drive around the rim of the Crater itself, and from here we can look down and see the herd of wildebeest or buffalos.
Finally, we descend into the crater. The crater walls provide a natural sanctuary for the animals, which means there is plenty to see: lions, elephants, buffalo, rhino and leopard (if you are lucky).
The only animal you won’t see in here is a giraffe, whose long legs are unable to cope with the steeps sides of the crater.
Dinner and overnight at Ngorongoro Rhino Lodge: full board.


DAY 4: GAME DRIVE IN SERENGETI NATIONAL ARK.

We head towards the Serengeti National Park. En route, there is an opportunity to visit Olduvai Gorge.
It is within this steep-sided ravine that Louis and Mary Leakey made some of the world’s most important archaeological discoveries in the 1950s.
Here is a small museum we are able to see evidence of our ancestors that have been dated back 2.5 million years.
After lunch, we drive into the Serengeti itself and the rest of the afternoon is spent game viewing in the vast plains that are broken only by stands of acacia trees and the occasional kopje. In December, January and February we will normally meet the migration with large herds of wildebeest, zebra, and gazelle.
There are always plenty of resident animals, such as giraffe, buffalo, and elephant, and many large predators such as lion, cheetah, and leopard.
We return to our special tented camp for the night at Serengeti.
Dinner and overnight at Serengeti Mapito Tented Camp: full board.


DAY 5: FULL DAY GAME DRIVE IN SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK.
We have another full day in this wonderful park, rising early to make the most of our time. Our guides will choose the best spotting locations for the time of year; we can spend time at the Hippo pool watching these majestic animals laze about in the cool water happily living alongside the crocodiles, watch a big pride of lions, be in the middle of the migration, sometimes surrounded by wildebeest, sometimes by zebras, which travel with the wildebeest. We journey from the wide open plains to the kopjes: these volcanic rocky outcrops provide protection and shelter for a wide variety of animals and from the top, we can look out across the vast grasslands of the Serengeti.
This diverse and interesting landscape will provide us with the ultimate in game viewing, we will hopefully see all of the plain games; elephants, giraffe, zebra, wildebeest, lions and if you are lucky the elusive leopard and cheetah, as well as huge amounts of interesting birdlife, from the elegant secretary birds to the flightless ostrich.
We return to our special tented camp for the night at Serengeti.
Dinner and overnight at Serengeti Mapito Tented Camp: full board.


DAY 6: FULL DAY GAME DRIVE IN SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK

After a full day game drive in Serengeti national park drive back to Karatu.
Dinner and overnight at Eileen’s Tree Inn: full board.


DAY 7: HALF DAY GAME DRIVE IN LAKE MANYARA NATIONAL PARK

Today we drive to Lake Manyara National Park for a full day of game drives.
This is one of Tanzania’s smaller parks but still offers a rewarding and diverse safari experience. The lakeshore at Manyara teems with birdlife, and while you are looking for the birds, you might spot one of the elusive tree-climbing lions. There are a surprising number of other large mammals and the striking cliffs on the Rift escarpment form a dramatic backdrop. After lunch, we make a short journey from the park to Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO).
