Safari Tanzania Classic
In addition to the Serengeti National Park there are the famous Ngorongoro Crater. Thanks to the conservationist Bernhard Grzimek we can enjoy the rich wildlife. In the Northern Circuit there are also Tarangire and Lake Manyara National Park, which can be visit during this Safari Tanzania Classic. Tanzania is one of the last countries with an unimaginable animal wealth and big plains. By the way – in contrast to the fenced-in national parks in South Africa and Namibia, wild animals in Tanzania actually live in freedom and can migrate between the parks.

ITINERARY AND HIGHLIGHTS TANZANIA CLASSIC SAFARI
Day 1 Arrival day Tanzania – Kilimanjaro
After your arrival at Kilimanjaro Airport our driver will pick you up and take you to the hotel in Moshi / Arusha. Our guest manager will inform you in detail about the safari and answer your questions. Depending on the time of arrival you will have the opportunity to gain first impressions of Tanzania.
Day 2 Moshi – Lake Manyara Park
You will be picked up at your hotel and will go on a three-hour drive to the East African Rift in the Lake Manyara National Park. When you get there, the roof will be opened up for the first game drive. You will cross the forest and keep your eyes open for monkeys of all different species, elephants lumbering between the trees and many other inhabitants of the forest. You are certain to encounter large herds of buffalos, zebras, gnus and giraffes in the grass covered flood plains. Also look at the trees – you might see a lion dozing on the branches. At the marshy riversides of the Lake Manyara salt lake, you will find water birds like flamingos, pelicans and cormorants.
Day 3 Lake Manyara – Serengeti National Park
After breakfast, you will head to the famous Serengeti National Park. On your way, you will pass the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, the “African Eden”, which has a very rich variety of vegetation and species. Soft hills, dormant volcanoes and stunning jungles provide a breath-taking view. During migration from January to March, millions of gnus and zebras pass the Serengeti Plains and the edges of Ngorongoro. When you enter Serengeti through the Nabi Gate, you will have an impressive first impression. The first game drive will be on the way to your lodge.
Day 4 Serengeti National Park
The third day begins in the heart of Serengeti, the Seronera Valley, among umbrella thorn acacias and huge fig trees. The range of hills in the north feed several waterholes which attract numerous impalas, antelopes, reedbucks and baboons. Hippos splash around in the water, leopards rest on the acacias and lions take naps in the high grass. This day is completely devoted to game drives in Serengeti. You can decide how you would like to organize the day.
Day 5 Serengeti National Park – Karatu
In the morning, you leave the Serengeti National Park and its wildlife. After the rains, the green hills are covered with lush grass, which is favored by free-roaming wild animals such as zebras, wildebeests and giraffes, as well as Maasai cattle. Afterwards, you will drive over the Ngorongoro Crater Rim towards Karatu. On the Ngorongoro View Point you might take the chance to stop for another picture. As you descend into Karatu Farmland, the temperature will rise again.
Day 6 Ngorongoro Crater – Tarangire National Park
It is still dark when you set off on your drive into the Ngorongoro Crater. After a few kilometers you will reach the park entrance, and you may already spot the first animals – lions, monkeys or buffalo. They are not uncommon here! From the crater rim, you have a great view into the crater bowl before you drive down the steep slope to the crater floor. Always have your camera to hand, because nowhere else is the density of animals higher than here. The crater, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is home to almost all species of East African wildlife. With a bit of luck, you might spot the endangered black rhino, which is one of the “Big Five” along with buffalo, lions, elephants and leopards! In the afternoon, continue to Tarangire National Park.
Day 7 Tarangire National Park – Arusha
After a hearty breakfast, you set off on an exciting game drive through the diverse landscapes of Tarangire. The savannah stretches endlessly before you, with acacia trees standing like sentinels against the azure sky. As the day progresses, Tarangire reveals its wonders – herds of graceful giraffe roam the plains and a leopard lolls in the branches. But the adventure is not over yet. With the impressions of the day in mind, you make your way to Arusha and follow the winding road that leads back to civilization.
