Embark on an exciting 6-day lodge safari in Tanzania’s Northern Circuit, exploring the wilderness, spotting wildlife, and immersing in the local culture. Visit Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater for an unforgettable adventure.
TARANGIRE NATIONAL PARK
Tarangire National Park - After breakfast, set off for Tarangire National Park. Enjoy a full day of game drives in the park, which boasts a diverse landscape with nine different vegetation zones. The park is dotted with ancient Baobab trees, the largest in Africa, which tower over the animals that graze beneath them. The Tarangire River winds through the park, attracting a wide variety of wildlife, including elephants, lions, leopards, buffalos, zebras, giraffes, antelopes, and numerous colorful birds. Tarangire is renowned for having the largest elephant population in Tanzania, offering ample opportunities to quietly observe elephant families interacting. After a picnic lunch at an observatory within the park, where you can watch animals drinking from the river (and sometimes witness lions hunting zebras or wildebeests), continue your game viewing before returning to the lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.
TRANSIT NGORONGORO INTO CENTRAL SERENGETI
Serengeti National Park - Today’s journey takes you past Lake Manyara and into the fertile Ngorongoro highlands. As you cross the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, you’ll arrive at the expansive plains of the Serengeti National Park by early afternoon. The next few days are dedicated to exploring the renowned Serengeti, home to the Big Five – elephant, buffalo, lion, leopard, and rhino – along with many other species. Each day on safari promises new wildlife sightings. You’ll spend the night at the Baobab Serengeti Tented Camp or a similar accommodation.
FULL DAY SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK
Serengeti National Park - After breakfast, continue your safari in the Serengeti National Park. In the Seronera Valley, you might witness predators hunting as animals gather at water sources during the dry season or follow the migration from Central to North Serengeti. Lunch will be at a picnic spot within the park. Continue with game drives until late afternoon, then return to your lodge at the BAOBAB Serengeti Camp for rest, a shower, dinner, and an overnight stay.
TRACKING THE SERENGETI MIGRATION
Serengeti National Park - Spend two full days immersed in the Serengeti. With your guide, you’ll scout for animals in this pristine area, taking your time to observe the park’s wildlife and learn about their behaviors and social structures. The Serengeti National Park, the third largest in Tanzania, is breathtakingly beautiful. The southern landscape is characterized by vast open grasslands, while the north and west feature open woodlands and hills. Along with the Masai Mara, the Serengeti hosts the Great Migration of millions of wildebeest and zebras, one of the most spectacular natural events on Earth. Your accommodation will be at the Baobab Serengeti Camp or a similar camp. To maximize your chances of witnessing the Great Migration, your route and camp order will be chosen based on your travel time.
SERENGETI TO NGORONGORO
Serengeti National Park - Witnessing the sunrise in the African Savannah is an unforgettable experience. After a morning game drive, return to the camp for brunch. In the afternoon, transfer to Ngorongoro, often referred to as the 8th natural wonder of the world. The crater, with walls 2,000 feet high and a floor spanning 102 square miles, is like a modern-day Noah’s Ark, home to nearly every species of wildlife native to East Africa, including the rare black rhino. The crater boasts the highest concentration of wildlife on the planet and features a river, several swamps, a soda lake that appears to steam from above and is filled with flamingos, a forest, and open plains. The large bull elephants here have enormous tusks due to the rich mineral content of the volcanic soil and grasses, making them some of the most impressive elephants you’ll ever see.
NGORONGORO CRATER
Ngorongoro Conservation Area - Early in the morning, descend to the crater floor for a day of wildlife viewing in one of the most extraordinary places on Earth. After a picnic lunch near the hippo lake and more wildlife viewing in the afternoon, drive up the steep road out of the crater and return to Moshi or Arusha.
