4 Day Excellent Tanzania Lodge Safari
Tour Highlight
Four days full of exciting game drives. First it goes to Tarangire National Park where there is a big concertation of elephants and other animals. Afterwards, you will visit two of the seven UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Tanzania. The probably most famous national park in Africa, the Serengeti with its endless expanses and the Ngorongoro crater with its unique animal world.
Tour Plan
After breakfast, you will be picked up at your hotel and together with your guide you drive to Tarangire National Park. In 1970, the national park emerged from a former colonial hunting ground. He has a very diverse animal world, not least because of its size, which corresponds to approximately Luxembourg.
The park is home to one of the largest elephant populations in the north of Tanzania, but is also home to many other wild animals. With some luck you can spot lions, cheetahs or leopards. The landscape of the park is very diverse. Especially the huge baobab trees, which are located close together in the north-eastern sector of the park, are particularly impressive. After an extensive game drive, you stay overnight at Eileens Trees Inn which it is located on the main road to Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater, Karatu
Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
After breakfast, we will drive pass the small town of Karatu to the vegetation rich Ngorongoro Crater Highlands before the vast savanna of the southern Serengeti opens before you. The park was already founded in 1951 and is thus the oldest one in Tanzania. He is the heart of a vast ecosystem, whose species-rich animal world is unique in the world.
Together with the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and the Maasai Mara National Reserve in Kenya, the Serengeti National Park is one of the largest natural migration systems for wild animals. Annually between the three mentioned conservation areas migrate over 1.4 million gnus, almost 300,000 Thomson's gazelles, about 200,000 zebras and several thousand topis with the rainy seasons to the areas with the greener and lush meadows.
With about 3 million larger mammals, the Serengeti is the national park with the richest wildlife worldwide. Around two-thirds make up the above-mentioned animal species, furthermore the park is the home to many other animal species, such as giraffe, buffalo, hyena, elephant or crocodile. Particularly large is the population of feline predators, about 3000 lions, a good 300 cheetahs and estimated 400-700 leopards has their hunting ground here. After the game drive you will stay overnight at Tukaone Tented Camp in the central Serengeti, the Seronera area.
Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
This morning you will continue with further game drives in the Serengeti, at noon you will leave to the Ngorongoro Crater. Both conservation areas are not separated by fences, on the way you can observe with some luck some more wildlife. You will stay overnight at Ngorongoro Wild Camp which is located on the upper crater rim with a spectacular view.
Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
Before breakfast you can enjoy the fantastic view over the Ngorongoro crater in good weather. After breakfast it goes on partly adventurous roads about 600 meters downward into the crater. The crater has a diameter of 17-21 kilometers and is the home of a great animal world. Nearly all the biodiversity of the East African savannah has gathered here, only giraffes and a few other animal species for which the rock faces are too steep do not live in the crater.
Depending on the season, 15,000 to 25,000 animals are gathering here, thereof more than two thirds’ buffaloes, gnus, zebras and gazelles. This large number of grazers also explains why in the crater the largest density of predators in Africa can be found. Beside other predators more than 100 lions live here in several prides. The chances of watching the "Big Five" lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino and leopard within just a few hours are here particularly good. In the late afternoon it goes up again the steep crater walls and then drive back to Arusha or will drop you to the Airport with good memories of tour.
