7 Day Tanzania Wilderness Safari
- Tarangire National Park
- Serenget National Park
- Manyara National Park
- Ngorongoro
This amazing safari will take you to the top safari destinations in Tanzania to witness the high concentration of wildlife, including lions, cheetahs, and, at certain times of the year, the world-renowned “Great Wildebeest Migration”. Included in the tour are Serengeti, Tarangire, Lake Manyara, and Ngorongoro Crater. Another highlight of this tour is the walking safari in Lake Eyasi to witness the lifestyle of the bushmen in northern Tanzania.
Day 01: Lake Manyara National Park
We pick you up from your hotel and drive you to Lake Manyara. The park derives its name from the Maasai word “manyara”, which is the Swahili name for the plant Euphorbia tirucalli. The Maasai use this plant to grow livestock stockades, which mature into a highly durable stock-proof hedge.
The Great Rift Valley is part of a fault in the earth’s crust that stretches 8,000 kilometers (4,971 miles) from Turkey to the mouth of the Zambezi River in Mozambique. The fault is so massive that when astronauts landed on the moon, the Rift Valley was clearly visible to them.
Meals: L,D
Accommodation: Tloma Lodge
Day 02 Serengeti National Park
After breakfast, we proceed to Serengeti, Tanzania's oldest and most popular national park and famed for its annual migration, when some six million hooves pound the open plains, as more than 200,000 zebras and 300,000 Thomson's gazelle join the wildebeest’s trek for fresh grazing. Yet even when the migration is quiet, the Serengeti offers a remarkable game-viewing experience in Africa.
Meals: B,L,D
Accommodation: Acacia Seronera Luxury Camp
HOT AIR BALLOON PER PERSON COST $546 (price are separate from the total price above)
Day 03: Serengeti Central (Cantal Seronera)
After breakfast, we proceed to the central part of Serengeti. This park is well-known for its healthy stock of resident wildlife, particularly the "big five", named for the five most prized trophies taken by hunters: lions, leopards, elephants, buffaloes, and rhinos.
Meals: B,L,D
Accommodation: Acacia Seronera Luxury Camp
Day 4: Ngorongoro Crater
We start with an early morning game drive inside the Ngorongoro Crater. As very few animals migrate in and out of the crater with its 2000-foot-high walls, you can expect to see lions, elephants, zebras, hippos, flamingos, jackals, rhinos, antelopes, and various species of birds. The Ngorongoro Conservation Area (NCA) is an extensive highland area along the eastern arm of the Rift Valley, with the world-renowned Ngorongoro Crater as its focal point.
Meals: B,L,D
Accommodation: Ngorongoro Farm House Lodge
Day 5: Lake Eyasi tour trip (Hadzabe, Datoga)
We depart for Lake Eyasi to visit the bushmen and observe their activities, such as hunting and gathering wild fruits. The Hadza, or Hadzabe, are an indigenous ethnic group in north-central Tanzania. They live in Lake Eyasi, in the central rift valley and in the neighboring Serengeti Plateau. The Hadza has just under 1,000 people in its population living as hunter-gatherers, among the last hunter-gatherers in the world.
Meals: B,L,D
Accommodation: Lake Eyasi Safari Lodge
Day 06: Tarangire National Park
One of the largest national parks in Tanzania, located in the Manyara region, this place is characterized by large herds of elephants, tree-climbing lions, and the fascinating baobab trees, also called the Tree of Life, for their almost mythical powers that some cultures attach to them. This park is especially known for the Tarangire River, which flows all year round and is the only source of water for wild animals during dry seasons.
Meals: B,L,D
Accommodation: Acacia Tarangire Luxury Camp
Day 07: Tarangire National Park, Arusha
We continue with another game drive in Tarangire before proceeding back to Arusha. You will be dropped off at the airport or hotel.
