Day 4Wildlife Photography in Tarangire National Park

Embark on a full-day game drive in Tarangire National Park. The Park is the wilderness experience in its own right! Tarangire is much more wooded than Serengeti with Acacia Trees and mixed woodland dotting the African Savannah of the Park. Herds of up to 300 elephants scratch the dry river bed for underground streams, while the migratory Wildebeests, Zebras, Buffalos, Impalas, Gazelles, Hartebeests, and Elands crowd the shrinking lagoons. It is also the one place in Tanzania where dry–country antelopes such as the stately Fringe–eared Oryx and peculiar spiral–horned Lesser Kudus can readily be observed. Dinner and an overnight stay in Tarangire.

Day 5Tarangire – Manyara, Wildlife Photography in Lake Manyara

After breakfast, drive to the foothills of the Ngorongoro Crater Highlands, en route visit Lake Manyara National Park. Lake Manyara NP is a lovely scenic park that offers another unique experience of a Tanzania Safari! The park is also famous for its elephants; a huge number of baboons and due to its varied landscape, the park has an impressive range of other game animals including wildebeest, buffalo, hippo, flamingo, zebra, warthog, waterbuck, dik-dik, and impala.  Bird – Watching here is very good, especially raptors. Along the way, you will stop and discover the local village of Mto wa Mbu to experience real African life, the local market, and enjoy the exceptional hospitality of the local people. After a home-hosted local lunch, you will drive up across the Great East African Rift Valley to your other beautiful place of stay on the foothills of Ngorongoro at Karatu.

Day 6Karatu – Ngorongoro Crater

After a leisurely breakfast, you will have a chance to visit Iraq People in the area. These are ancient Cushitic people who moved here from the “Horn of Africa” nearly 1’000 years ago and they practice farming in the area.  Later during the day, drive up to Ngorongoro Conservation Area for lunch, followed by an afternoon game viewing in the famous Ngorongoro Crater. Afterward, you ascend on the most breathtaking walls of the caldera to your place of stay on the rim of the Crater.

Rise up early with the sun and descend down into the famous Ngorongoro Crater for game viewing. Ngorongoro Crater is such a unique safari destination, a veritable “Garden of Eden”. With a large concentration of animals and short grasslands, game viewing in the crater, or more appropriately a caldera is excellent as animals are everywhere! The caldera is reputed to contain the highest density of carnivores in the world and the only place in East Africa where one can easily observe the last remaining populations of Black Rhinos in the real natural world. Dinner and overnight stay in Ngorongoro.

Day 8Ngorongoro – Serengeti

Today you drive to Serengeti National Park for lunch and an afternoon game drive. Serengeti is Tanzania’s most renowned national park and home to the greatest concentrations of large mammals on the planet.

In the wake of all these, follow the predators- Lions, Leopards, Cheetahs, Hyenas, and Jackals, while vultures circle overhead to clean up. It is this migration that many people envisage when they think of the “Wild Africa”. The timing is so perfect to enable you to enjoy the magic of real African wilderness and the beautiful African Sunset at the horizon! Dinner and an overnight stay in the Serengeti.
