4-day camping safari
During
this 4-day camping safari, you will visit the three most well known reserves in
North Tanzania: Lake Manyara National Park, Ngorongoro Conservation Area and
the Serengeti National Park. This safari has something for everybody and is
ideal for those with limited time but who do not want to miss out on what the
national parks have to offer.
Day 1 Arusha – Lake Manyara National
Park
In
the morning, we will collect you from your hotel and take you to the Lake
Manyara National Park. Once you have reached the national park gate, your
driver will open the roof of the vehicle, allowing you to better observe the
wonderful wildlife and scenery.
Ernest
Hemingway spoke of this area as the most beautiful area that he had ever seen.
It is easy to see why as to the West the Rift-Valley-Escarpment rises to almost
600m and to the East, the seemingly endless Masai Steppe stretches to the
horizon.
In
between lays the shallow and alkaline Lake Manyara where the flamingos seem to
turn the shallow waters into a pink colour. On the lake’s perimeter, a diverse
range of animals can be seen such as elephants, giraffes, buffalos, antelopes
and gazelles. The Lake Manyara National Park is also well known for its lions
that like to climb the trees- something, which is quite unusual for big cats.
In the late afternoon, you will leave the Lake Manyara National Park and spend
the night at a nearby camping site. Lunch; Dinner
Day 2 Lake Manyara National Park –
Serengeti National Park
After
breakfast, you will travel to the cooler regions high up at the crater before
later reaching the southern Serengeti. Masai Mara National Park in Kenya, the
Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Conservation Area in Tanzania create
mutually one of the largest conservation areas in the world. Their combined aim
is to maintain this intact wildlife ecosystem continuously- one of the few left
in the world. The Serengeti National Park is famous for the ‘Great Migration’,
over one million wildebeests and more than two hundred thousand zebras follow
the rains each year. In October and November, these animals travel from the
mountains of the North, southwards to the plains seeking lush pastures. After the
great rain season in April, May and June, the herds then make their return
journey. Even without this mass migration, the Serengeti is still an exciting
and spectacular place that still cannot fail to enthrall. You will camp for the
night at a campsite in the Seronera area (central Serengeti). Breakfast; Lunch;
Dinner
Day 3 Serengeti National Park –
Ngorongoro Conservation Area
Dawn
is the best time to watch wildlife and therefore, the first wildlife tour of
the day takes place before breakfast. Afterwards, another explorative tour of
the Serengeti National Park follows in which you can watch wildebeests and
zebras next to lions and other big cats such as leopards and cheetahs in the
Seronera region. You will have lunch at a picnic spot before you slowly drive
towards the Ngorongoro Crater. On the way, you will pass the Olduvai Gorge
where the English couple, Louis and Mary Leak, pioneered archaeological
excavation work. In the sixties, some of the earliest archaeological deposits
of human evolution were found here and a small museum (visit optional) reports
these discoveries.
Once
you reach the crater’s rim, you will be able to see into this massive caldera
and down to its floor, which lies 600m below. You will camp on the craters edge
where you can enjoy the wonderful view across the caldera as the sun sets.
Breakfast; Lunch; Dinner
Day 4 Ngorongoro Crater – Arusha
Breakfast
will be at the break of day followed by a drive on a small road through a
forested region to the crater’s floor where the landscape slowly turns into a
savannah with scattered acacia trees. At the craters floor, the wildlife is
just breathtaking; with a little luck, you can observe the big five – lions,
elephants, buffalos, rhinoceros and leopards – in just a few hours. You will
also be able to observe warthogs, wildebeests, zebras, gazelles, antelopes,
hippopotami and many more. After a morning full of wildlife watching, you will
have lunch in the crater before you return to Arusha in the afternoon.
