9 DAY 8 NIGHTS : MANYARA, NGORONGORO, SERENGETI, LAKE EYASI AND TARANGIRE

ARRIVAL – Kilimanjaro 

Airport (KIA)

Pick up from the  Kilimanjaro airport  drive to Arusha for overnight at Arusha Planet Lodge.

DAY 1– ARUSHA – LAKE MANYARA

Meet our professional tours guide/driver in Arusha town, who will deliver a short safari info briefing, after which, we travel to the Lake Manyara National Park. This impressive park is one of Tanzania’s most dramatically located wildlife areas, consisting of a massive but shallow soda lake (covering two-thirds of the park) at the foot of the Great Rift Valley’s western escarpment. The park’s varied habitat attracts a wide variety of animals, including one of Africa’s largest concentrations of elephants, Manyara’s famous tree-climbing lions, as well as large flocks of flamingos attracted by the algae in the lake.

Dinner and overnight at Kitela Lodge

DAY 2 – LAKE MANYARA NATIONAL PARK – NGORONGORO CRATER

After breakfast we descend 600m into this magnificent crater for a morning, game drive. The Ngorongoro Crater is one of the most densely crowded African wildlife areas in the world and is home to an estimated 30,000 animals including some of Tanzania’s last remaining black rhino and other species of animals such as herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, eland, warthog, hippo, and giant African elephants. Another big draw card to this picturesque conservation area is the dense population of predators, which include lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs and the ever-elusive leopard, which sometimes requires a trained eye to spot. We will enjoy a picnic lunch in the crater, then at evening you will return back to your accommodation for dinner and overnight at Lion Paws Lodge

DAY 3 – NGORONGORO– SERENGETI PLAINS

After breakfast we head towards the central Serengeti National Park, also known as the Seronera. We descend into the heart of wild Africa – the Serengeti National Park – with its endless plains, rolling into the distance as far as the eye can see. We head to the Seronera area, one of the richest wildlife habitats in the park, featuring the Seronera River, which provides a valuable water source to this area and therefore attracts wildlife well representative of most of the Serengeti’s species.

We arrive in time for lunch and enjoy an afternoon game drive in the Serengeti national park.

Dinner and overnight at Nyota luxury camp.

DAY 4 – SERENGETI PLAINS

After breakfast enjoy a full day game drive in the Serengeti National Park. The majority of the wildebeest migration normally passes through the Seronera in late November to middle November, when they migrate from Kenya’s Maasai Mara in north to the Ndutu area in the south. The migration then passes through this area again in April when they move west to the Western Corridor of the Serengeti National Park. The Seronera area is also an ideal starting to point to visit the eastern and southern short-grass plains of the Serengeti National Park.

Dinner and overnight at Serengeti Heritage Tented Camps.

DAY 5 – FULL DAY SERENGETI PLAINS GAME DRIVE

The Serengeti National Park – with its endless plains, rolling into the distance as far as the eye can see. We head to the Seronera area, one of the richest wildlife habitats in the park, featuring the Seronera River, which provides a valuable water source to this area and therefore attracts wildlife well representative of most of the Serengeti’s species.

Dinner and overnight at Serengeti Heritage Tented Camp.
