5-Day Budget Safari in Serengeti, Ngorongoro

<p>Early Morning, you will start driving from our hotel in Arusha to Tarangire National Park for a game drive until afternoon, where you will break for a picnic lunch. After lunch, you will continue with the game drive until evening, exit from the park, and drive to your Fig tree lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.<br><br>Tarangire National Park is referred to as the playground of elephants, but is also known as the home of buffalo, lions, wildebeests, zebras, and gazelles in the dry season. Also, the shore of Lake Burunge attracts a lot of mammals for water and various bird species like Kingfisher, Hoopoe, and White Bellied bird.</p>

<p>fter breakfast you will drive to the Serengeti National Park, enjoying the beautiful high lying farmland of Karatu and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area along the way. Leaving the highlands behind, you will enter into the heart of wild Africa, the Serengeti National Park with its endless plains rolling into the distance, as far as the eye can see. You will head to the central area of the park, known as the Seronera, one of the richest wildlife habitats. In this part of the park you will visit the Seronera River which provides a valuable water source to this area and therefore attracts wildlife well representative of most of the Serengeti's species. You will arrive in time for lunch and afterwards, enjoy an afternoon game drive in the Serengeti National Park. Later in the day you will have dinner and your overnight stay in the tumbili camp</p>

<p>Today features a half-day game drive in the Serengeti, with a strong chance of spotting lions and leopards around Seronera, especially during the dry season. After lunch, you’ll drive to the Ngorongoro Crater Rim. Dinner and overnight at Simba Campsite.</p>

<p>You'll descend into the Ngorongoro caldera very early in the morning to view the wildlife on the crater floor. The Ngorongoro Crater is often called “Africa’s Eden” and the “8th Natural Wonder of the World”. A massive extinct volcano, the sheer walls drop thousands of feet onto the verdant floor below. Large herds of zebras, buffalo, antelopes, and wildebeest graze nearby while sleeping lions laze in the sun. At dawn, the endangered black rhino returns to the thick cover of the crater forests after grazing on dew-laden grass in the morning mist. Later afternoon, you'll ascend from the crater and drive for dinner and overnight stay at Fig tree lodge on a full board basis.</p><p><br></p>

<p>After breakfast, you will travel to Lake Manyara National Park. The Lake Manyara National Park is one of Tanzania’s most dramatically located African wildlife areas, consisting of a massive but shallow soda lake (covering two-thirds of the park) at the foot of the Great Rift Valley’s western escarpment. The park’s varied habitat attracts a wide variety of animals, including one of Africa’s densely populated African populations, Lake Manyara’s famous tree-climbing lions, as well as large flocks of flamingos, attracted by the algae in the lake. You will enjoy a picnic lunch inside the park and do two exciting morning and afternoon game drives, in search of the tree-climbing lions. Late afternoon, you'll depart from Lake Manyara and drive back to Arusha and be dropped off at your hotel in Moshi or Arusha. End of Services.</p><p><br></p>
