Don't be discouraged if you only have 4 days to visit Tanzania! Highlights of Tanzania is the perfect tour for you as you'll visit the most popular parks in the north circuit: Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro and the Serengeti.
Our guide will pick you up at the airport/accommodation and drive you to Lake Manyara National Park. This park is truly breathtaking, with its luscious acacia forest, giant figs, and mahogany trees. Here you can find plenty of wildlife, including giraffes, elephants, impalas, and a large number of buffaloes. The lake is also the habitat for lots of hippos!
The most distinctive characteristics of this national park are the tree-climbing lions, flamingos in the lakeshore, as well as the Ground Hornbill and the Crested Eagle. You will have many photo opportunities, as its landscapes are indescribable and with abundant wildlife!
We recommend some extra activities, such as a bike tour or a boat excursion. After this immersion in the wild, drive to the selected campsite/lodge for dinner and overnight.
You will wake up very early in order to do a morning game drive, which will allow you to witness the most beautiful sunrise of your life. After the game drive, you will return to the lodge for a gratifying brunch and then leave to Ngorongoro Conservation Area.
Ngorongoro Crater is the world's largest unbroken caldera, recognized as one of the wonders of the Natural World. Here inhabit almost every species of wildlife that is indigenous to East Africa. And it's also one of the few places in the whole continent where you can spot the Black Rhino. The crater has a river, several swamps, a lake full of flamingos, a forest, and open plains. Due to the rich mineral content of the volcanic soil, the elephants found there are the largest in the world!
You will reach there in time for a sundowner. After this immersion in the wild, drive to the selected campsite/lodge for dinner and overnight.
After an early breakfast, you will descend into the crater floor for a fabulous morning of wildlife in one of the most fascinating places on Earth. You'll have your picnic lunch near the beautiful hippo lake, followed by a short game drive. You'll exit Ngorongoro Conservation Area towards the Serengeti National Park, where you will dinner and overnight.
After an invigorating breakfast, you'll go on an early morning game drive, which is when the animals are most active.
This park is home to the Great Migration, when over 1.5 million wildebeests, hundreds of thousands of zebras, and all kinds of antelopes start their ever-moving journey. And with such a large number of animals, it's only expectable to observe many big cats and other large predators, attracted to their prey. So take this opportunity to look out for lions, cheetahs, leopards, and hyenas. Many other smaller animals reside here too, not to mention over 500 species of birds.
After the afternoon game drive, you will be transferred to the airstrip for your return flight to Arusha.
