After

to Tarangire National Park, located in Manyara Region. Tarangire is the sixth
largest national park in Tanzania after Ruaha, Serengeti, Mikumi, Katavi and
Mkomazi. Activities will include a wild life game drive where you can see
pythons climb trees, as well as lions and leopards among others. For the bird
lovers, keep an eye for the screeching flocks of colorful yellow-collared
lovebirds, and the somewhat drabber rufous-tailed weaver and ashy starling.
These are all endemic to the dry savannah of north-central Tanzania.

ranger. In the afternoon, there will be another game drive at Tarangire
National park. In this park, you are to see large herds of elephants, tree
climbing lions, and the fascinating baobab trees also called the Tree of Life
for its almost mythical powers that some cultures attach to it. This park is
especially known for Tarangire river which flows all year round and the only
source of water for wild animals during dry seasons.

4: Lake Manyara National Park
After
breakfast, we will set off to Lake Manyara National Park for yet another
exciting game drive.
Lake
Manyara National Park is a scenic lake that made Ernest Hemingway exclaim
"the loveliest I had seen in Africa". Manyara provides the perfect
introduction to Tanzania’s birdlife. More than 400 species have been recorded,
and if your lucky, you can expect to see 100 of these in one day. Inland of the
floodplain, a narrow belt of acacia woodland is the favoured haunt of Manyara’s
legendary tree-climbing lions and impressively tusked elephants.

5: Ngorongoro Crater
After
breakfast, we will depart for a full day game drive at the Ngorongoro
Conservation Area. This is an extensive highland area along the eastern arm of
the Great Rift Valley, with the world-renowned Ngorongoro Crater as its focal
point. It is not a national park in the strict sense of the word, but was
rather established to conserve wildlife and other natural resources. It exists
to safeguard the interests of indigenous people as well as promote tourism.
Thus, guests on safari have the unique experience of seeing Maasai herdsmen
with their cattles among the tremendous variety of wildlife found in the area.

6-7: Serengeti National Park
After
breakfast, we will set off for Serengeti National Park with picnic lunch, and
game drive en route via Olduvai Gorge, Tanzania’s oldest and most popular
national park. A UNESCO world heritage site and recently proclaimed 7th wonder
of the world, Serengeti is famed for its annual migration where some six
million hooves pound the open plains. Between July to October, witness an
actual survival of the fittest as these animals plunge through
crocodile-infested waters. The wildebeest produces more than 8,000 calves daily
before the 1,000 km (600 mile) pilgrimage begins again.
Serengeti
offers an exotic game-viewing experience in the whole of Africa giving you
upclose look of the animals you've only seen in National Geographic: great
herds of buffalo, smaller groups of elephant and giraffe, and thousands of
eland, topi, kongoni, impala and Grant’s gazelle.

Accommodation:

8-9: Serengeti National Park (North Lobo)
After
breakfast, we will head north of Serengeti for a full day game drive in the
wilderness tracking the Great migration trails. Witness million wildebeests,
each one driven by the same ancient rhythm, fulfilling its instinctive role in
the inescapable cycle of life: a frenzied three-week bout of territorial
conquests and mating; survival of the fittest as 40km (25 mile) long columns
plunge through crocodile-infested waters on the annual exodus north.
