After early breakfast we will cross the Maasai Steppe on our way to Tarangire National Park. Tanzania’s fourth largest and one of its most diverse parks. Its landscape is dotted by the iconic huge tree baobab. Elephants, Buffalos and Giraffes are seen easily, unbothered by our presence and going about their daily routines. Its abundance of wildlife also includes, Lions, Leopards, Oryx, Dik diks, and a wide range of birds species. Even its possible to spot huge pythons on top of the trees. We’ll meander along bush tracks and explore the Tarangire River’s twists and turns, finding elephant drinking and playing in the refreshing waters.
After breakfast during sunrise, we will depart to the iconic Serengeti National Park. During our way we will cross Ngorongoro Crater and make a stop to enjoy the views of the huge caldera. Serengeti means endless plain in Maasai language. A well-known paradise for wildlife, quite bigger than Jamaica and famous for great migrations and its huge natural diversity. Serengeti has the highest concentration of large predators in the world. Your first game safari in Serengeti will not let you down as you will not have problems to spot Lions!
Be one of the few fortunate people to glide in a Hot Air Balloon over the Serengeti Plains (available at supplementary cost by pre-arrangement). Floating silently above the awakening bush. After breakfast at the lodge, short sunrise safari and we will depart to Ngorongoro Conservation area. We will stopover at Olduvai Gorge, boasting with a history dating back to the dawn of time. It was here, that the anthropologists Drs. Louis and Mary Leakey discovered the skulls of ‘Nutcracker Man’ and ‘Handy Man’, both very significant links in the chain of human evolution. We will arrive in time for lunch at the lodge and after lunch we will descend over 600 meters into the crater to view wildlife for a half day safari tour. This volcanic crater is one of the largest caldera in the world and is said to have the highest density of wildlife in Africa, so you can admire many animal species together. That’s the reason why it’s one of the only places on earth where you may see all of the Big Five at once: Lion, Leopard, Elephant, African Buffalo and Black Rhino.
Rise early for breakfast before we spend a fully day exploring the crater floor. Thanks to its year round water supply and fodder, the Ngorongoro National Park harbors a vast variety of animals, which include herds of Wildebeests, Zebras, Buffalos, Elands, Warthogs, Hippos, and Giant African Elephants. Another big draw card to this picturesque national park is its dense population of predators, which include Lions, Hyenas, Jackals, Cheetahs and the ever-elusive Leopards, which sometimes requires a trained eye to spot. To maximize your time on the crater floor you will enjoy a special lunch box at a scenic picnic spot. In the afternoon we will drive to Arusha for dinner and overnight.
