4-day camping safari North Tanzania 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 color. 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. Breakfast; Lunch
