Detailed itinerary for 6 Days Tarangire Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater Safari.
Day 1: Arrival in Arusha.
Upon your arrival, you will be picked up from Kilimanjaro International Airport where your professional guide will answer all your queries regarding your upcoming safari and provide you with a short briefing as well. Afterward, you will be taken to your accommodation for dinner and an overnight.
Day 2: Transfer to Tarangire National Park.
Following an early morning breakfast at your accommodation, you leave Arusha for Tarangire National Park. This park covering approximately 2600 square kilometers is spectacular in the dry season when many of the migratory wildlife species come back to the permanent waters of the Tarangire River. Huge herds of wildebeest, zebras, elephants, eland, and oryx gather to stay in Tarangire until the onset of the rains when they migrate again to good grazing areas. Expect to encounter large herds of elephants while here that are accustomed to vehicles. You will enjoy your lunch at the park and later have an evening game drive before heading to your accommodation for dinner and an overnight stay.
Day 3&4: Serengeti National Park.
For these 2 days, after breakfast, you will depart for Serengeti National Park with a picnic lunch in hand. You will enjoy a game drive en-route through Ngorongoro Conservation Area to Serengeti.
The Serengeti is famed for its incredible wildlife, stunning views, and the annual migration of over 1.5 million wildebeest and hundreds of thousands of zebras. In this frenzied bout of territorial conquests and mating, witness an actual survival of the fittest as these animals plunge through crocodile-infested waters. The wildebeest will birth more than 8,000 calves daily before the 1,000 km (600 miles) pilgrimage begins again. While here you will spot the big game much easier than you can imagine.
Day 5: Ngorongoro Crater Tour
After early morning breakfast, you will head for a morning game drive to Ngorongoro Craterr, the eighth wonder of the world and one of Africa’s best wildlife areas. This place offers a unique biosphere, which has remained virtually unchanged since the dawn of time. Thousands of large mammals can be found in the crater including elephants, rhinos, and lions. You will later head to your accommodation for dinner and overnight stay.
Day 6: Transfer Back to Arusha
Today is a departure day and you will head back to Arusha and arrange for your transfer to the airport/ hotel. But on your way you may decide to visit the coffee plantations in Karatu for a community tour to understand the way of life of people in Northern Tanzania.
