3 Days Stone Town Zanzibar

You meet with one of our safari driver guides at the airport where he will deliver a short welcome brief followed by 50 minute – 1-hour drive to Arusha for your overnight stay.

On this day your safari will start at 7:15 AM in the morning with your guide and drive to Lake Manyara National Park which takes about 2 hours. The park offers a mosaic of vegetation habitats that can sustain a high density of wildlife. It's a groundwater forest which acts like a giant filtering sponge that gradually releases water so it can flow gently into streams, instead of running off, prevents the soil from eroding.

From its high concentrations of animals such as elephant, buffalo, and antelopes to its dense forests of Trichilia, ficus, and Acacia species, the park is diverse with both wildlife and vegetation. With its location at the base of the East African rift valley along the Gregory rift, it offers spectacular viewing of the escarpment. Lake Manyara is one of those national parks which offer rich and diverse game viewing within a reasonably small area. It is one of the best areas for elephant viewing; the bird’s life here is also exceptional.

Your safari will begin at 7:00 AM soon after having breakfast the journey begins heading to Serengeti National Park. On your way to Serengeti, you will stop at the Olduvai Gorge where the anthropologists Louis and Mary Leakey discover the theory that describes the origin of human life in Africa.

You will continue with a Game drive towards Serengeti and drive across kopje (rock outcropping) the place where lions like to stay, in the evening you will be taken to the camp for dinner & overnight stay.

After breakfast, we head towards the far northern reach of the Serengeti National Park, also known as the Wagakuria. We will do a game drive en-route from the Lobo area to the Wagakuria area. As we head north, good sightings of giraffe, plain game, herds of buffalo and elephants can often be seen.

We arrive in time for lunch at the camp and after lunch will we enjoy an afternoon game drive in the area. The wildebeest migration can normally be found in the Wagakuria area from August to October, depending on rainfall patterns. A long stretch of the Mara River runs through the northern Serengeti National Park and the Mara River provides the migration with its most difficult obstacle. Witnessing the frantic herds of wildebeest crossing the Mara River is an amazing experience.

After breakfast, enjoy a full day game drive in the Wagakuria area. Resident wildlife numbers are exceptionally high in this area of the park, with pride of lion up to 30 strong, however, from August to October the area turns into a wildlife paradise. The key feature is the Mara River and it is not uncommon to see the herds cross the Mara River north on one day and then back south a few days later. Please take note –Finding a crossing is very difficult and is sometimes a matter of luck. A herd can be seen next to the river and only decide to cross or not cross until a couple of days later. This area is a stunning region with kopjes, woodland, riverine vegetation and open plains, similar to Kenya’s Masai Mara Game Reserve.

On this day you will wake up early in the morning and having breakfast then picked up by your driver at 9:00 AM and start your way by driving back to central Serengeti. You will continue with a game drive in the park toward central Serengeti while exploring a lot of great amazing African wild animals. On your way will stop for a picnic lunch then proceed with a game drive and later will drive to overnight at Tanzania Bush Camp Central Serengeti.

Show your final respects to the Serengeti (for this time) with another game drive while heading back to Ngorongoro Conservation Area. You will overnight at Ngorongoro Rhino Lodge where you enjoy the views and share stories over dinner. Don't be surprised if wild animals are visiting the lodge, as you are closer to their home.

After breakfast, it is time for the World Heritage Site- Ngorongoro Crater. You will descend into the caldera floor that represents 260 km2 of paradise on earth. The game drive aims to satisfy your senses and complete your wildlife safaris for this time. Reminisce of wilderness adventures, new insights on your way back to Arusha.
