Country: Tanzania
Duration: 5 days
Description
During this 5 day safari, you will have the opportunity to experience the finest that Tanzania has to offer. You will encounter breathtaking wildlife amidst some of the most diverse landscapes.
Arrival - Arusha
You will be picked up from the airport by a representative of Worth of Africa and driven to your accommodation in Arusha. Depending on your arrival time, you will hopefully have time to relax and prepare for the adventure of a lifetime. Busy Arusha is an essential part of safari life here in northern Tanzania, and most travelers pass through at some stage.
Day 2: Arusha - Tarangire National Park
Your Worth of Africa safari guide will pick you up from your accommodation after breakfast. You will then drive to Tarangire, which is approximately two and a half hours away on good tarmac roads. The park derives its name from the Tarangire River that flows through it, known as the 'river of warthogs', as it serves as the sole water source for wildlife in the region during the dry season. Tarangire is renowned for its elephant families often seen gathering by the river, as well as sightings of giraffes, bushbucks, and hartebeests. These animals are closely followed by various predators, including lions and leopards. The park boasts more breeding species of birds than any other place on the planet. Additionally, visitors can marvel at the enormous and ancient Baobab trees, some of which are believed to have existed for over a thousand years.
Lunch will be provided at a picnic site within the park. Following your game drive, you will then proceed to your accommodation in Karatu.
Day 3: Ngorongoro Crater - Serengeti National Park
After breakfast, you will drive up to the cooler regions of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Upon your first glimpse of the Ngorongoro Crater, it appears like a forgotten world. Concealed within the steep volcanic walls lies a pristine wilderness, comprising sweeping savannah, pockets of acacia woodland, and glistening lakes and swamps. The Crater formed when a large volcano erupted and collapsed in on itself two to three million years ago, covering an area of 260 km². Renowned for its geological marvels, the Crater is also famed as a natural reserve housing some of the densest populations of large mammals on the entire African continent.
Day 4: Serengeti National Park - Karatu
The Serengeti presents a truly spectacular sight. Renowned for its expansive open grasslands, it offers excellent opportunities for wildlife viewing. Its climate and vegetation have remained largely untouched for millions of years. While it hosts a diverse array of wildlife, its most famed feature is the annual Great Migration. Each year, vast herds of wildebeest, accompanied by sizable numbers of zebra and antelope, follow a cyclical route in search of fresh grazing.
Day 5: Lake Manyara National Park - Arusha
After breakfast, you will drive to Lake Manyara National Park, a small but diverse park 120km west of Arusha. Everything you’ll see here is on a different scale. It is both compact (this is one of the narrowest parks in Africa) and epic (the Great Rift Escarpment towers over Lake Manyara’s western boundary).
