5-Day Epic Wilderness Adventure- Budget

On the first day we will pick you up from Arusha /Kilimanjaro Airport or your hotel in (or around) Arusha. During the 2.5-hour drive, you will enjoy the beautiful nature and landscapes. In Tarangire, we'll do a game drive before lunch. After lunch at the picnic site, we'll do a game drive all afternoon. Tarangire National Park is located 115km south of Arusha, and is a long and narrow park that covers 2850sq km, and runs along the Tarangire River. The name of the park is also coming from the Tarangire River, which is the only source of water for wild animals during the dry season. The park is famous for its large number of elephants, baobab trees and tree climbing African pythons. During the dry months the concentration of animals around the Tarangire River is almost as diverse and reliable as in the Ngorongoro Crater. At the end of the afternoon, we will arrive at your lodge/camp for enjoying dinner.

In the morning, we'll be heading to Lake Manyara where we will do a game drive all day. Lake Manyara is known for its breathtaking panoramic views, waterfalls, babbling brooks with clear water and hot springs. Lake Manyara National Park is located between the rocks of the Great Rift Valley and Lake Manyara. The beauty of this park is partly due to a large variety of wildlife, grasslands, forests and water. Lake Manyara has one of the largest populations of water birds, over 400 species, including flamingos and pelicans. There are also large herds of elephants, giraffes, hippos, water buffalos and of course the impalas. At the end of the afternoon, we will arrive at your lodge/camp for enjoying dinner.

On this day, we will leave after breakfast and head towards the Serengeti. After a 4-hour drive, we will arrive at the Serengeti. After lunch we'll do a game drive all afternoon in this beautiful park. The Serengeti is known for its endless plains of savannah and forest landscapes. The park is famous for the migration involving about 1.5 million herbivores and followers, thousands of predators are moving because of the drought in the northern hills to the southern plains. After the rains in mid-April, they go back via a detour through the western part. Then you will be driven to your nice Lodge/ camp for dinner and relaxing.

On day 4, we will do an early morning game drive in Serengeti. In the afternoon, we will be heading to Ngorongoro Conservation Area where we will have dinner and our overnight at Crater
Today, we will get our first sight of the spectacular, incomparable Ngorongoro Crater, the world’s largest intact volcanic caldera and the heart of the Conservation Area of the same name. But before that, we will have another morning game drive in the amazing Serengeti, marveling at its animal inhabitants. It's another day of adventure, another day to enjoy wildlife.

We have saved the best for the final day. After breakfast, with breathtaking views of the crater below, your 4-wheel drive vehicle will descend about 2,000 feet into the Ngorongoro Crater. Covering an area of approximately 8,300 square kilometers, the Ngorongoro Crater is the world’s largest unbroken volcanic caldera and is often described as one of the natural wonders of the world. Beyond its geological grandeur, it is an extraordinary sanctuary, home to some of Africa’s highest concentrations of large mammals, including lions, elephants, and rhinos. After a rewarding game drive and lunch within the crater, we will depart the park and begin our journey back to Arusha or to Arusha/Kilimanjaro Airport for your onward travel.
