Embark on a luxurious 5-day journey through Northern Tanzania's most breathtaking landscapes. This safari combines the lush groundwater forests of Lake Manyara, the endless plains of the Serengeti (with two full days), and the stunning Ngorongoro Crater. With Four Seasons-level accommodations and flexible game drive schedules, this is the ultimate East African wildlife experience.
Your game drives are completely flexible â discuss with your guide each day for the best timings. Option to replace Lake Manyara with Tarangire NP, or add an extra day to visit both.
Pick-up at 8 AM for a full-day game drive across the Great Rift Valley. Though small in dimension (205 sq miles), the park has breathtaking scenery â lush acacia forest, giant figs, mahogany trees, and growing populations of baboons and blue monkeys.
Permanent residents include giraffes, elephants, impalas, and huge numbers of buffaloes. The lake hosts large numbers of hippos. Photo opportunities with giraffes and buffaloes against the lake backdrop are stunning.
After early breakfast, depart towards the most famous national park in the world. The driving, though long, is spectacular. As you progress into the Serengeti, you see why the name means "endless plains" in the local language.
The park covers 6,900 sq miles â home of the Great Migration and 2 million wildebeests, hundreds of thousands of zebras, and all manner of predators including lions, cheetahs, leopards, and hyenas.
Enjoy a full day in the Serengeti â completely flexible to your preferences. Your guide will discuss the best timings with you each day. Options include morning game drive, return to camp for lunch and relaxation, then afternoon game drive. Or a full-day game drive with picnic lunch.
Every moment in the Serengeti reveals something new â from dramatic predator hunts to peaceful herds grazing on the endless plains.
Very early wake-up for an early morning game drive when animals are most active â witness one of the best sunrises you'll ever see. After brunch at camp, proceed to Ngorongoro â the 8th Wonder of the Natural World.
The crater spreads for 102 sq miles with 2,000 ft high walls, making it virtually Noah's Ark. Home to the rare black rhino, massive elephants with huge tusks, a river, swamps, soda lake with flamingos, forest, and open plains. Arrive in time for a sundowner.
Start very early and descend into the crater floor for an incredible morning of wildlife in one of the most stunning places on earth. After the game drive, enjoy a picnic lunch near the beautiful Hippo Lake.
After lunch, a short final game drive, then ascend the crater and exit towards Arusha. Expected arrival around 5 PM â flexible if there's a flight to catch.
