Day 2: Tarangire National Park

Tarangire National Park, Tanzania Safari

The abundance of gigantic baobab trees and large herds of elephants make Tarangire National Park famous. During the dry season, elephants may rely on these trees—which can survive for hundreds of years—for water because of a unique method they’ve developed to extract it. During the dry season, the Tarangire River serves as the sole water source, which explains why the park is home to numerous species, including herds of up to 250 elephants!

Accommodations:
Silver: Sangaiwe Tented Lodge
Gold: Ang’ata Tarangire Camp
Platinum: Nimali Tarangire

Day 3: Lake Manyara National Park

Between Tarangire and the Ngorongoro Crater, in the Great Rift Valley, which is 400 meters deep, is Lake Manyara National Park. There are many different kinds of creatures that visit the park because of its varied terrain. For instance, there’s the lake, the lush jungle teeming with birds and monkeys, the woodlands where you can get up close and personal with elephants, and the manyara hippo pool, where hippos splash about from dawn ’til dusk.

Day 4 – 6 Serengeti National Park (central west/east)

The Great Migration – Wildebeest Migration from the Serengeti to the Masai Mara, Crossing Mara River

Due in large part to the fact that the Great Migration traverses Serengeti National Park, it has become famous as a safari destination. Impressive predator populations include nearly 4,000 lions, 225 cheetahs, 1,000 leopards, 3,500 hyenas, and hundreds of wild dogs; the massive, stampeding herds are no less so. And there are a plethora of other stunning creatures that you and your guide can look for. Is everyone prepared to do this?

Platinum: Serengeti Sametu Camp by Karibu Camps & Lodges

Day 7: Ngorongoro Conservation Area (incl. Crater)

Ngorongoro Crater is a world-renown natural wonder and one of seven in Africa. A huge volcano erupted two million years ago, creating the crater. The unusual ecology, made possible by the fertile lava, is currently inhabited by more creatures than any other location in Africa! You won’t know what to stare at once you’re within the crater because of the incredible views and thousands of animals, including zebras, buffalo, black rhinos, and lions, all around you.

Are you having doubts? Extending your vacation to one of Tanzania’s idyllic islands—like Zanzibar, Pemba, or Mafia—is another great option!
