Duration

4 days

Tour Type

Overview

Best safari in Tanzania for those who want to see the maximum number of animals in a short time. First, you will visit Lake Manyara – a magnificent park, in which in the period from July to September flocks of flamingos gather for nesting. As if a narrow strip on the horizon, like a seafoam, they are spread on the surface of the lake that will remain an unforgettable imprint in your memory. Ngorongoro almost needs no explanation – the crater is included in virtually all safari programs, being one of the most beautiful and populated parks with its own ecosystem.

Tour Plan

The group arrives at Kilimanjaro Airport (JRO). Participants are met by our representative and transferred to a hotel in Moshi. Note: The hotel cost only includes breakfast. Check-in starts at 2:00 PM.

In the morning after breakfast (around 7:30 AM) your safari guide will arrive at the hotel and inform the receptionist that he is waiting for you. After meeting up with your driver you will travel to Lake Manyara National Park, and by 10:00 AM you will already be on your first safari! The entire territory of this park is cut through with groundwater streams that provide a favorable environment for plants and, in addition, for a multitude of birds (including pink flamingos) and African forest animals. Around lunchtime, you will visit the Maji Moto hot springs and the driver will provide you with personal lunchboxes. After this stop, the safari will continue, and by evening you will be transferred to a hotel located on the edge of the Ngorongoro volcanic craterAdditional notes: This is your first day on safari, so we ask that you please pay special attention to the national parks visitor rules and our company recommendations.

  • During the safari, it is strictly prohibited to exit the vehicle, except for in specially designated areas. Violations of this rule may be accompanied by large fines for the company, including the revocation of its license.
  • Off-road driving is also prohibited, as such behaviour may cause irreparable damage to the fragile balance of the natural ecosystem.
  • During the safari, you are allowed to smoke, but be extremely careful about how you extinguish and dispose of cigarette butts, as they are a frequent cause of fires in the savanna.
  • In addition, we sincerely request that you not put your feet on the safari car's seats, nor sit on the back of them because this type of behaviour quickly makes the cars unusable.

Thank you in advance for your understanding.

On this day it is best to leave the hotel as early as possible so you can see the variety of animals that are only active during the morning hours; breakfast will be packed in lunchboxes specifically for this purpose. At 6:30 AM you will set off for Ngorongoro Conservation Area, and after about an hour you will already be inside the crater. Ngorongoro is one of the most famous and interesting of Tanzania's national parks because here you can find the greatest number of different animal species per square kilometer. You will have the chance to see buffalo, elephants, lions, wildebeests, zebras, hippopotamus, and feline species such as caracals and servals. The luckiest travelers might even see a rhinoceros, an animal whose numbers are rapidly declining. By lunchtime, you will arrive at the lakeside, where you will be offered lunchboxes, after which the safari will continue. In the evening you will be transferred back to the hotel in Arusha.

Rest in the hotel and transfer to the airport. Note: Hotel check-out is at 11:00 AM. In case you need a late check-out because of an evening flight, you have the option to extend your hotel stay till 6:00 PM for an extra fee.
