Highlights

Moshi to Tarangire National Park

Tarangire National Park - In the morning, we will pick you up from your hotel in Moshi and drive to Tarangire National Park, which is known for its huge baobab trees and large herds of elephants. Its sparse vegetation makes it a beautiful and special location, where up to 300 elephants can be found, looking for underground streams in the dry riverbeds. Migratory wildebeest, zebra and buffalo can also be seen crowding the shrinking lagoons. Here you will enjoy an afternoon game drive with a picnic lunch.

Serengeti National Park

Serengeti National Park - Day 2: Serengeti National Park

Today you drive to one of the most famous game parks in Africa, the Serengeti! Known to host one of the most amazing wildlife spectacles on earth – the great migration of wildebeest and zebra – the Serengeti’s vast plains are also home to a haven of other wildlife, including lions, cheetahs, leopards and many other predators.

Serengeti to Ngorongoro Crater

Serengeti National Park - This morning, you’ll catch a glimpse of lions and other predators on their morning hunt during your first game drive. After brunch, you’ll then leave the park and go for the final game drive while on your way to the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater, one of Africa’s seven natural wonders! Before dinner is served, enjoy awesome views of the crater below.

Ngorongoro Crater

Ngorongoro Conservation Area - Today you’ll rise early in the morning to descend the 600m high walls to the floor of the crater and get up close with one of Africa’s seven natural wonders! Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is considered one of the most beautiful and unique places in Africa. Here you will find a haven of African wildlife and you might also be lucky enough to witness the endangered Rhino!

Lake Manyara to Arusha/Moshi

Lake Manyara - In the morning, drive to Lake Manyara National Park, which is located within the Great Rift Valley. Lake Manyara boasts a spectacular setting, famous for its tree-climbing lions and soda-ash lake. The park also provides the perfect introduction to Tanzania’s birdlife. The shores of the lake, encrusted with pink flamingo, attract more than 400 species of birds, many of them waterfowl or migrants. In the afternoon, drive back to Arusha or Kilimanjaro Airport.

5 Day Camping Safari - I did the 5 day camping safari with Nyange with two friends. We had one guide, Joshua, and one cook, Ely. Joshua was a phenomenal guide! We were so pleased. He was incredibly knowledgeable, kind, thorough, pleasant, and prompt. He was able to answer every question we had and seemed to have a genuine love and passion for his job. Ely provided delicious meals throughout our trip. We could not have asked for a better guide. We would recommend that if you are joining the camping safari you bring the following items: towel, pillow, headlamp or flashlight, wet wipes (not all the showers were functional), toilet paper, and a sleep sack to put inside the provided sleeping bags. We had all these items as we are frequent campers, but we thought others might benefit from this information. Kelvin, our contact for the safari, was very prompt with his responses and provided answers to all my questions. Overall, I would recommend using Nyange when going on a camping safari. Ask for Joshua!

Amazing safari in Tanzania - We went on a 5 day safari in Tarangire, Serengeti en Ngorongoro crater with William as tourguide and Godfrey as chef. We had a really good experience and saw a lot of animals. The guide knew a lot about the different animals and parks. When he didn't remember some information, he looked it up for us and told us about it later. Whenever we wanted to stop to take pictures or to look, he stopped as long as we wanted to. The camping gear was of good quality. The food during the safari was really good!

5days/4nights of amazing adventure with Roger and Mody. 10/10 - We were a family group of 5 on a 4 nights/5 days camping safari with Nyange Adventures right before Christmas 2022. We were welcomed at our Hotel by our guide and driver Roger. He quickly showed how friendly and talented he was, and became part of the “Family”. The first day in Tarangire was extraordinary, and we already felt lucky with Rogers knowledge about the animals. We picked up our Chef Mody, who cooked delicious food throughout our safari. The safari in Serengeti was a highlight as we saw the big 5 right away. Roger has a keen eye for details that others might not notice, and guided us towards an amazing number of animals, birds and reptiles. The storytelling and facts about the different wildlife made the safari seven more special. While we had some bad luck with a small breakdown, Roger and Mody kept the spirits up and were quick to find solutions. At the campsites they were always available and became good friends. At our return to our hotel in Arusha, the manager mr. Nyange himself greeted us, and asked about our adventure with his talented staff. As sad we were to leave Roger and Mody, who we had become friends with through our safari, we were fond of the amazing memories we made. If you are thinking about going on a safari, trip or adventure around Arusha or Moshi, I can highly recommend Nyange adventures, and especially Roger and Mody, who were professional, welcoming, friendly and fun persons to be with.
