Tanzania Safari - 3 Days Serengeti and
Ngorongoro crater Tour
DAY 1: Arusha – Lake Serengeti - Ngorongoro
In the morning you will be picked up from your Hotel/Lodge in
Arusha and driven 130kms with lunch boxes and proceed to Lake
Manyara National Park for afternoon game drive. Start game
viewing through underground water forest, proceed to acacia
woodland savannah open land, pass by hot water spring and
proceed to Lake Manyara National Park which is the home for many
flamingoes and other water birds. The Park also hosts
tree-climbing lions, hippos, elephants, zebras, buffaloes,
giraffes, baboons, blue and velvet monkey, warthog and more.
About 350 species of birds have been recorded. In the afternoon
there will be a break to have your picnic lunch, then leave the
Park and drive to Ngorongoro to arrive on time for dinner and
overnight stay in one of the lodges or campsite – superbly
perched on the rim of the Crater.
DAY 2: Ngorongoro –National Park
Early morning breakfast in your lodge at Ngorongoro and then
drive immediately to the Great Serengeti National Park with
picnic lunch. Tanzania’s oldest and most popular national park,
the Serengeti is 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 arguably the most scintillating game-viewing in
Africa: great herds of buffalo, smaller groups of elephant and
giraffe, and thousands upon thousands of eland, topi, kongoni,
impala and Grant’s gazelle. Therefore as you leave the
Ngorongoro you will continue with game drives en-route. Before
reaching Seronera (an area located in the heart of Serengeti),
you will continue to explore the vast rich-game animal plains of
Serengeti National Park. During the afternoon stop over for
picnic lunch shortly before you continue with game drive. In the
evening leave the Park and proceed to Seronera for dinner and
overnight stay in one of the lodges or campsite.
DAY 3: Serengeti – Ngorongoro Crater – Arusha
Wake up for early morning breakfast and collect your picnic
lunch. Drive across the Serengeti plains then to the Ngorongoro
Conservation Area. Upon arrival, you immediately descend into
the Crater base for a full day tour. All the big five - rhino,
lion, elephant, leopard and buffalo live in this wonderful
caldera. Others are zebra, hippo, wildebeest, hyena, and more
can be seen. The birdlife is so abundant and it includes many
flamingoes round the Soda Lake, geese, storks and vultures. Your
lunch will be served at the picnic site in the Crater at
Ngoitoktok Swamp which is a Hippo pool. After lunch drive back
to Arusha arriving after sunset. |
