The Itinerary of the 5-Day Tanzania Private Safari Tour
Day 1: Lake Manyara National Park
Your adventure begins as you depart from Arusha, journeying towards Lake Manyara National Park, approximately a two-hour drive. This picturesque park, located at the base of the Great Rift Valley escarpment, offers a unique mix of habitats. Upon arrival, you will embark on your first game drive. The park is famed for its tree-climbing lions, an unusual behavior not commonly observed in other parks. Keep your eyes peeled for these elusive predators resting in acacia trees. The lush forest of Lake Manyara is home to large herds of elephants, troops of baboons, and a variety of antelope species.
In the afternoon, enjoy a picnic lunch by the lakeshore, where you can watch the spectacular birdlife. Lake Manyara is a haven for ornithologists, with over 400 species of birds, including large flocks of flamingos that paint the lake pink. As the sun sets, you will head to your luxurious lodge or tented camp for dinner and an overnight stay, nestled in the tranquility of the surrounding wilderness.
Day 2: Tarangire National Park
After a hearty breakfast, you will drive to Tarangire National Park, known for its vast elephant population and iconic baobab trees. The park's landscape is dotted with these ancient trees, providing a dramatic backdrop for wildlife photography. On your morning game drive, you will traverse the varied terrain, from riverine woodlands to open savannahs. The Tarangire River, which flows through the park, attracts a multitude of animals, especially during the dry season when it becomes a lifeline for wildlife.
After a picnic lunch in the park, continue exploring in the afternoon. Besides elephants, Tarangire is home to a diverse array of wildlife, including lions, leopards, and buffaloes. Bird watchers will also find the park rewarding, with over 500 species recorded. As evening approaches, you will head to your comfortable lodge or camp for dinner and overnight stay, surrounded by the sounds of the African bush.
Day 3: Serengeti National Park
On the third day, your journey takes you to the legendary Serengeti National Park. After breakfast, you will travel through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, stopping briefly at the Ngorongoro Crater viewpoint to take in the breathtaking panorama. The Serengeti, with its endless plains and abundant wildlife, awaits you. Arriving in time for lunch, you will have the afternoon to start your game drive. The Serengeti is renowned for its annual migration of wildebeest and zebras, a spectacle that attracts predators like lions, cheetahs, and hyenas.
Your private safari allows you to explore the Serengeti at your own pace, stopping to observe and photograph the wildlife. The landscape is dotted with kopjes, rocky outcrops that provide excellent vantage points for predators and photographers alike. As the day ends, you will retire to your lodge or tented camp within the park for dinner and overnight stay, with the sounds of the Serengeti enveloping you in the magic of the wild.
Day 4: Serengeti National Park to Ngorongoro Conservation Area
Begin your day with an early morning game drive in the Serengeti, when the animals are most active. Early mornings offer the best light for photography and a higher chance of witnessing predator-prey interactions. After a leisurely breakfast back at your accommodation, continue exploring the Serengeti. The park's diverse habitats, from grassy plains to riverine forests, support a wide variety of wildlife, ensuring that every game drive is unique.
In the afternoon, you will drive towards the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, enjoying wildlife sightings along the way. The transition from the plains of the Serengeti to the highlands of Ngorongoro offers a dramatic change in scenery. Arrive at your lodge or camp near the crater rim in time for dinner and overnight stay. The cooler climate and the stunning views of the crater below create a perfect setting for a relaxing evening.
Day 5: Ngorongoro Crater
On the final day of your safari, descend into the Ngorongoro Crater for a half-day game drive. The crater is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most spectacular wildlife destinations in the world. Its steep walls enclose a diverse ecosystem with permanent water sources, supporting a dense population of animals. You will have the opportunity to see the Big Five (lion, elephant, rhino, buffalo, and leopard) in one of the most unique settings on earth.
Enjoy a picnic lunch by the hippo pool, where you can watch these massive creatures wallow in the water. The crater floor is also home to large herds of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles, which attract predators like lions and hyenas. As the afternoon progresses, you will ascend the crater and begin your journey back to Arusha, reflecting on the incredible experiences and wildlife encounters of the past five days. Your safari adventure concludes with a drop-off at your accommodation or the airport, marking the end of a truly memorable journey.
