Trip Information

A perfect introduction to Africa’s wildlife. The Ngorongoro Conservation Area is as breathtaking for its landscapes as it is attractive for its animals. The walls of the crater provide a home for an abundance of animals acting like a giant enclosure. As a result only a few of the vast numbers of animals actually migrate out of the crater. Tarangire National Park has the biggest numbers of elephants in the northern part of Tanzania and is dotted with the eerie and irresistible Baobab trees, which are a favourite with the elephants and make for a beautiful landscape. Finally Lake Manyara National Park is small but supports a high density of mammals including its famous population of tree climbing lions. The mandatory park fees contribute to conservation of the parks and surrounding areas.

Itinerary

Day 1 Transfer to Arusha to meet vehicle. Drive to Taranagire National Park; gameviewing.

You will be picked up from your lodge in Marangu at 7:30 am and transferred to Arusha to meet the safari vehicle. Breakfast is included as part of the Kilimanjaro trip. We will then drive to Tarangire National Park. This park is particularly famous for large herds of elephants and as we drive through it you should be able to view hundreds of them. Tarangire is a mix of large mature trees, grassland and the Tarangire River. You should also see herds of giraffe, zebra and buffalo, and there are regularly good sightings of both lions and leopards. Migunga Tented Camp or similar

Day 2 Drive to Ngorongoro Conservation Area; descend into crater; full day on safari.

Today we drive from our permanent tented camp to Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Ngorongoro is a remarkable place. It is a conservation area, rather than a national park, which means the whole area is managed for both the animals and the local Masai people who graze their cattle alongside the indigenous wildlife. Whilst in Ngorongoro we have a chance to glimpse something of the Masai way of life. We will drive around the rim of the crater itself, and from here we can look down and see the herd of wildebeest or buffalos. Finally we descend into the crater. The crater walls provide a natural sanctuary for the animals, which means there is plenty to see: lions, elephants, buffalo, rhino and leopard (if you are lucky). The crater walls form a stunning backdrop and seeing herds and solitary animals roaming within it make for some of the best wildlife viewing in Africa. The only animal you won't see in here is a giraffe, whose long legs are unable to cope with the steeps sides of the crater. After a full day in the crater we drive back to our permanent tented camp.Migunga Tented Camp or similar

Day 3 Head to Manyara National Park for safari; transfer to Kilimanjaro Airport.

We drive to nearby Manyara National Park for a game drive in one of Tanzania's smaller but fantastic parks, where the safari experience will be both diverse and rewarding. The lakeshore at Manyara teems with birdlife, and while you are looking for the birds, with luck you might spot one of the elusive tree-climbing lions. There is a surprising number of other large mammals and the striking cliffs of the Rift escarpment form a dramatic backdrop. We will then drive to Kilimanjaro international airport. The drive back is approximately 4-5 hours and to allow sufficient time you should have a flight booked no earlier than 4pm on this day.
