6 Days Tanzania Camping Safari

Meet your Tanzania Safari Guide in the lobby after breakfast, and then depart for Tarangire National Park through Arusha town, where you can exchange currency or make any last-minute purchases. Tarangire is Tanzania's fifth-largest National Park and is famous for its stunning scenery and the largest population of elephants that can't be found anywhere else on the planet.

The park's highlights include the Tarangire River and the impressive baobab trees that tower over some of the smaller animal species underneath. The Tarangire-Lake Manyara ecosystem facilitates an annual migration cycle of over 3000 elephants, wildebeests, and zebras. Aside from the elephant population, you might also have the chance to see giraffes, buffaloes, zebras, hippos, warthogs, and three rare species: the Lesser and Greater Kudu, Oryx, and the Ash staling. As the late afternoon approaches, drive back to the Campsite for dinner and an overnight stay, either before or during sunset.

There was a reason that "The Lion King" creators drew their inspiration from the Serengeti, and today you will get to discover why. Renowned for its' large lion population, this may be the best opportunity to get a great view of a Lion Pride in their natural habitat, as the gazelles, zebras, and buffalo are abundant in this region. Come during the right season, and witness the birth of the wildebeest calves, where they will begin their annual migration to Kenya at the end of May. Lunch will be served in the park, and after a full day of games drives your campsite awaits.

Today we will wake up very early in the morning (around 6 am) for a sunrise game drive and to spot the animals when they are most active. We will then stop at a picnic site to enjoy breakfast in the bush and continue with the game drive before returning to the camp (around noon) for hot lunch, load the vehicle, depart camp and continue to Ngorongoro where we will have dinner and overnight at Simba campsite.

After a hearty breakfast, we make our way to the gates of Ngorongoro Crater, where we descend into the world's largest inactive volcanic caldera. An abundance of wildlife graces this infamous area, known worldwide for its stunning landscape. Enjoy spotting a multitude of different species, from elephants, hippos, and giraffes to the majestic Crater Lions and ravenous hyenas. Enjoy a waterfront stop for lunch, enjoying the spectacular views and a bite to eat before you head out for your afternoon game drive. After ascending to the crater rim, we will head back to the camp or Lodge for the evening.

Today we will head for Lake Manyara National Park, for a morning game drive. Lunch will be served at a picnic site after you enter the park and catch your first glimpses of the wildlife and spectacular scenery. After lunch, make your way through the park snapping photos of all the wildlife that call this area home, with the lake serving as a spectacular backdrop. After a full afternoon of game drives, head back to Arusha in the evening.
