You spend this day with various activities in Tarangire National Park and get to know this diverse protected area intensively.

In the morning, you will go on a walking safari in the national park. You will roam the wilderness of Tarangire National Park on foot, accompanied by a trained and experienced local ranger. The guide will show you how to recognize and follow the various tracks of the wild animals. Look forward to rare close encounters with zebras, waterbucks, impalas, ostriches and even the giant African elephant. The ranger will give you information about the animals, their behavior and tracks and explain the plants in the surrounding bushveld. It is an exciting experience to get up close and personal with the wild animals and get an authentic feel for life in the bush.

After the two-hour walk, you return to your accommodation. In the afternoon, you will go on another game drive in a safari vehicle through the varied landscape of the game reserve.

 

Accommodation: Lodge outside the park

Meals: 1x breakfast, 1x packed lunch, 1x dinner

In the morning, you will once again set off on a nature walk, this time on the edge of Tarangire National Park in the Wildlife Management Area. Together with a local ranger, you will set off on a one-and-a-half-hour walk focusing on plants, tracking and nature.

You then continue into the Ngorongoro Highlands. Your accommodation is located right on the edge of the Ngorongoro forest and you will immediately feel at home in the cool, green surroundings.

In the afternoon, you can explore the adjacent forest on the edge of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area on a short hike (optional, organized locally via the accommodation). Or enjoy the unique view over the wooded hilly landscape of the Ngorongoro highlands from the lodge.

In our safari jeep landcruiser we head to explore the famous Ngorongoro Crater. First enjoy the fantastic view from the crater rim over the huge caldera from a vantage point before descending to the crater floor via a steep slope.

The Ngorongoro Crater is a unique animal paradise and is one of the seven natural wonders of Africa.

On a safari here, you can observe almost all of Africa’s major animals in just a few hours. In addition to lions, wildebeests, zebras, buffaloes, elephants and gazelles, there is also a good chance of seeing the rare black rhino. Over 20.000 large animals live in the crater itself. They can leave or enter the crater freely. Most of them stay here permanently, as there is no shortage of water or food.

After the game drive in Ngorongoro, you leave the crater and drive on to the Serengeti, the oldest and probably most famous national park in Tanzania. You cross the huge protected area and pass through the endless savannah landscape of the Serengeti Plains.

On the way, you can observe a wide variety of animals and, with a bit of luck, hunting scenes.

Your accommodation is located in the western central Serengeti, just outside the national park. The camp is ideally situated for observing the seasonal herds of wildebeest, zebra and antelope. As the camp is located outside the actual game reserve, night safaris are also possible here. This increases the chance of spotting leopards or other nocturnal wild animals such as porcupines, aardvarks or genet. As soon as dusk sets in, you set off on an extremely exciting night game drive just outside the Serengeti, as no drives are permitted after dark within the protected area. However, animals know no boundaries and therefore the sightings are no less spectacular – especially in the cover of darkness the impressions are particularly thrilling.

Of course, the camp is also an ideal starting point for game drives in the central Serengeti or the western corridor. Your safari guide will select the most suitable region for you at your time of travel. The lodge’s rangers are specialists in bush walks at dawn or dusk, which are always a very special experience. One such walking safari awaits you tomorrow.
