Tanzania National Parks Safari 8 Days

You will arrive at  Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) and will be met by a member of the Kilimanjaro Bound Team and transfered to your hotel or lodge in Arusha or Moshi.

The rest of the day is free to relax, recover from your flight and prepare to start your Tanzania National Parks Safari 8 Days early the next morning.

After breakfast, we leave for Lake Manyara National Park for a full day within the Park to looking for game animals from the rear of our open top vehicle.

Lake Manyara is a bird watchers paradise and even if you have not come for the birds, you will marvel at the variety of species, spoonbill, teal, pelican, kingfisher, hornbill and cormorant, to name a few.

In the tall trees, forest monkeys leap from branch to branch on the slope of the Great Rift Escarpment, elephants stand in the shade of the baobab and in the acacia woodland, lions lie draped along the branches of the umbrella trees.

Lake Mayara is truly a magical place and your eyes will be wide open throughout the day.

Late in the evening we will move to Lake Manyara Serena Lodge for dinner and sleep.

After breakfast we leave Lake Manyara National Park and proceed to Serengeti National Park via Olduvai George where we will stop and enjoy a picnic lunch, arriving at Serengeti National Park during the early afternoon.

Once into the Serengeti we will take a game drive and spot the immense herds of wildebeests, gazelles and Zebras on their annual migration to permanent water holes. They will always be followed by predators like the lion prides, offering you a timeless spectacle unequalled in the world.

That night we will stay within Serengeti National Park at Serengeti Sopa Lodge and enjoy a relaxed dinner and a chance to talk about the things we have witnessed that day.

On this day we will make the most we can of being in the Serengeti and enjoy a game drive straight after breakfast.

We will get to enjoy the endless plains of the Serengeti trying to spot the majestic animals that live and thrive there. A magnificent experience awaits as you travel within the most famous wildlife park in Africa, the legendary Serengeti.

Here you might have the chance to see the migration, where thousands of zebra and wildebeest make the trip from the Masai Mara every year.

A packed lunch is served before proceeding for the afternoon game drive.

At the conclusion of a tiring day we will all retire to Serengeti Sopa Lodge for some much needed rest.

After breakfast, we will spend the morning within The Serengeti National Park before we continue our Safari Adventure and driveto the Ngorongoro Crater Conservation Area.

On arrival, we descend down into the Ngorongoro Crater, one of the largest intact Volcanic Caldera’s in the world.

The crater floor offers game viewing of the permanent population of more than 30000 animals and is one of the only places in Africa where you stand a very good chance of seeing the big five (lion, leopard, buffalo, rhino and elephant) in the course of a morning or evening game drive.

We will spend this night at the Crater Rim, Ngorongoro Sopa Lodge.

We descend once again down and into the Ngorongoro Crater, one of the wonders of the natural world. An extinct volcano that collapsed around 25 million years ago thus forming a vast super bowl where the largest permanent concentration of African game is on display.

The views from the top of the crater wall are absolutely breathtaking, these areas are forested but four wheel drive vehicles will take you down into this primeval paradise of woodland, lake, river, swamp and plain that shelters around 30000 animals.

Large grazing animals such as wildebeest, buffalo, gazelle and zebra, depend on the open grasslands in the crater.

These magnificent animals attract predators, the black-mained lion, the leopard and hyena.

The Fever Tree forests shelter monkeys, bushbuck and waterbuck and the few black rhino that have taken refuge here.

A soda lake attracts water birds, including flamingoes and is a favorite place for predators to make their kill.

Wildly beautiful as it is, it is not surprising that Ngorongoro Crater has been called a Garden of Eden.

Your dinner and overnight stay will be at at the Ngorongoro Sopa Lodge.

After breakfast, our game drive continues and takes us to Tarangire National Park.

Will arrive early in the afternoon and you will be taken on a game drive through the park. Many of the animals congregate around the only source of permanent water in the park, the Tarangire River.

This is the best place in Tanzania to see really big herds of elephants of up to 300 at a time whilst you are on Safari.

Tonights stay will be at Tarangire Sopa Lodge.

After breakfast we will travel to Arusha or Moshi where you will have the rest of the morning to relax after your great Tanzania National Parks Safari 8 Days and explore the town, especially the Masai market.
