Tanznaia Lodge Safari in 7 Days

Let's lead you in exploring this 7-day lodge safari, you will visit the Tarangire and Lake Manyara National Park as well as the Serengeti and the world-famous Ngorongoro Crater. Traveling through breath-taking landscapes on adventurous tracks you will experience nature and wildlife at their best.

Day 1: Arusha to Tarangire National Park

After a safari briefing in the morning and an approximate 2-hour drive, you will arrive at the Tarangire National Park. Giant baobab trees, bush savannah, and seasonal marshes add to the wonder of this nature reserve. The Tarangire National Park is considered one of the best places to view elephants up close. The park is also home to buffaloes, zebras, and wildebeests which are always closely followed by a range of predators such as lions. Leopards are seen now and then but cheetahs are rarely spotted. From the open roof of the safari vehicle, you will be able to absorb the landscape and watch the animals. In the late afternoon, you will leave the park and drive to your Tented Camp, where you will overnight. Lunch; Dinner

Day 2: Tarangire National Park to Lake Manyara National Park

After breakfast, you will travel from the Tarangire Area to the Lake Manyara National Park. The park is known for its over 400 bird species, primate-filled forests, and grassy plains. A large area of the park is covered by the alkaline Lake Manyara, the seasonal breeding grounds for large colonies of flamingos and many more waterfowls. The park is also home to giraffes, hippos, wildebeests, impalas, and groups of noisy monkeys and baboons. After an extensive game drive, you will travel to the  Lodge, where you will spend the night. Breakfast; Lunch; Dinner

Day 3:: Lake Manyara Area to Serengeti National Park

After breakfast, you will travel via the cooler highlands towards the southern Serengeti and at midday, you will reach the plains of the Serengeti National Park. This park is the largest in Tanzania and has a diversity of habitats and landscapes – short grass plains, savannah, thick bush, swamps, and lakes. Bizarre rock formations called kopjes dot the grassy landscape where predators are often seen. The Serengeti is famous for the yearly migration when hundreds of thousands of wildebeests and zebras trek to find fresh grass and water.

You will spend the night at the Tented Camp inside of the park. Breakfast; Lunch; Dinner

Day 4 -5: Serengeti National Park

The entire 2 days are dedicated to game viewing in the Serengeti National Park. The areas that you visit will depend upon where the migrating herds are. Predators usually follow closely behind the trekking animals and include lions, leopards (in the acacia trees), and cheetahs. During the short rainy season in November and December, the herds move from the hills in the north to the plains in the south. During the longer rainy season from April to June, they return up north. As the migration is completely dependent on the yearly rainfalls, the location of the herds may vary from year to year but your guide will know where to locate the animals and where to see them best.

You will spend another night at the  Tented Camp. Breakfast; Lunch; Dinner

Day 6: Serengeti  – Ngorongoro Conservation Area

You will have a morning drive at the Serengeti before starting your trip to the Ngorongoro conservation area. After the drive on your way, you will stop by the Maasai bomas for meeting the traditions and culture of the Maasai society. You will proceed driving to the lodge for rest and dinner.

Day 7: Ngorongoro Crater – Arusha

Enjoy a sumptuous breakfast at the Lodge, before setting out for the Ngorongoro Crater tour, the world’s largest unflooded caldera (collapsed cone of a volcano). Ngorongoro is home to over 25,000 mammals ranging from the Big Five – lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino, and leopard – to spotted hyenas, rare wild dogs, and some of the more than 500 bird species of the area.

After an extensive game drive and a picnic for lunch, you will leave the caldera in the afternoon and return to Arusha. And this marks the End of our Tour.
