(0 Reviews)

Talk about safaris in Tanzania and what comes in mind is the famous Northern Circuit with the most famous parks in East Africa including The Serengeti, Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara and the Ngorongoro Crater.

This incredible 6 days safari from Arusha and back to Arusha includes these all. Lake Manyara is famous for the lush green nature of the park located at the base of the Great Rift Valley with lots of game and birdlife alike. Most famously for its legendary tree climbing lions. Tarangire with the largest herds of the biggest elephants you can see in Africa and the old majestic baobab trees, Ngorongoro Crater harboring the Big Five and the endless plains of Serengeti where the famous herds of the annual wildebeests migration graze for the most part of the year, all these are the features of this wonderful 6 days Camping Safari in Tanzania.

Picnic lunch will be served at one of the designated picnic sites in the park. Lake Manyara is a beautiful lush green park that harbours a lot of animals including the easily spotted baboons, monkeys, giraffes, zebras, dik-dik, and the legendary tree-climbing lions.

We will have a brief stop at the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater and can have a brief stop at Olduvai Gorge if you wish (at extra cost). Olduvai Gorge is where Dr Leakey Louis and his wife Mary Leakey the great archaeologists discovered fossils of the early man that suggested that Africa is the Cradle of mankind.

A fun-filled day at the crater floor with picnic lunch we will be able to spot many animals at close range in the 8th wonder of the world also referred to as the Eden of Africa. Ngorongoro harbours the highest concentration of animals in a small area of about 21 Kilometers square only and with a little luck, you will be able to spot the Big Five on the Crater floor.
