Itinerary

Lake Burunge, Tanzania

Set within the ecologically important migratory corridor of Manyara and Tarangire, Lake Burunge-Manyara is one of three major lakes in Tanzania’s Manyara region that provide incredible game viewing opportunities. Lookout decks along the shore offer close-up encounters with the wild animals which come to drink or hunt, as well as with 300 bird species. Game drives, guided walks, canoeing, and cultural tours to the neighbouring Mbugwe and Maasai villages are just some of the activities visitors can look forward to. Neighbouring Tarangire National Park is another highlight of the area, only 30 kilometres away.

Day 2

Day Notes:

You spend a full day on game drives exploring the beautiful Tarangire National Park. During the dry season, many animals congregate along the Tarangire River to quench their thirst. It is an excellent spot to observe their behaviour up close. Since you spend the whole day in the park, you have enough time to explore more remote corners of Tarangire enjoying the big and small moments of a safari: from majestic lions and elegant giraffes to busy dung-beetles and everything in-between. Your guide will share his in-depth knowledge about wildlife and ecosystems with you. You may be surprised how much you have seen and learned on only your second day of safari. Once the day comes to an end, you return to the Lake Burunge Baobab Tented Lodge, just outside the park’s borders.

Shared full-day game drive

Central Serengeti, Tanzania

Situated in the heart of Tanzania, the Central Serengeti encompasses the world-famous Seronera Valley which is known for its prime wildlife-viewing opportunities. This picture-perfect landscape is characterised by endless stretches of savannah-covered open plains interspersed by rocky outcrops of granite and scattered with acacia woodlands and covered in a network of rivers and streams. The Central Serengeti forms part of the great wildebeest and zebra migration and provides an ideal habitat for a variety of wildlife such as giraffe, impala, waterbuck, hippo, elephant, buffalo, lion, leopard, hyena, jackal, serval and much more. Popular activities include: game viewing, cultural tours, horse riding safaris, and hot air ballooning over the spectacularly scenic terrain.

Day 4

Day Notes:

The entire day is dedicated to game viewing in the Serengeti National Park. The areas that you visit will depend upon where the migrating herds are. Predators usually follow closely behind the trekking animals and include lions, leopards (in the acacia trees) and cheetahs. During the short rainy season in November and December the herds move from the hills in the north to the plains in the south. During the longer rainy season from April to June they return up north. As the migration is completely dependent on the yearly rainfalls, the location of the herds may vary from year to year but your guide will know where to locate the animals and where to see them best. You will spend another night at the Kati Kati Tented Camp.

Full day game drive in Serengeti

Ngorongoro Crater, Tanzania

Located within northern Tanzania's Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Ngorongoro Crater is the world's largest intact volcanic caldera and one of Africa's most remarkable wildlife destinations. Encircled by steep crater walls, its fertile grasslands, forests and soda lakes support an extraordinary concentration of animals, including lions, elephants, buffalo and hippos. Game drives across the crater floor offer exceptional wildlife viewing within a relatively compact area, while Maasai communities in the surrounding highlands provide insight into local traditions and culture. From mist drifting over the crater rim at dawn to vast plains dotted with grazing herds below, the landscape is both dramatic and serene. Although popular and often busy, Ngorongoro delivers an unforgettable safari experience shaped by stunning scenery and abundant wildlife.

Ngorongoro Farm House

Day 5 - 7

Ngorongoro Farmhouse Lodge is situated beneath the majestic Oldeani Volcano, and boasts easy access to both the untamed wilderness of Ngorongoro Conservation Area, as well as the simple pleasure of a ramble through 500 acres of farmland.

As soon as you reach the edge of the Ngorongoro Crater, you will see the giant caldera below – a breath-taking view. You will leave the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and drive to Karatu in the Ngorongoro highlands. Here you will join a walk in the coffee plantation to learn more about the cultivation and processing of coffee. You will spend the night at Ngorongoro Farm House or a similar lodge
