7 Days Tarangire/ Lake Manyara/ Serengeti/ Ngorongoro Camping Safaris

Day 1. Arusha/Tarangire
Depart from Arusha in the morning and drive to Tarangire National Park with lunch boxes to start your game drives as soon as you reach the park. Dinner and overnight at camp.Tarangire National Park, gazetted in 1970, is 118km away from Arusha town, which covers an area off 2600sq km that's about 1600 miles and derivers its name from the Tarangire River that flows through the center of the park. The river flows from south to north/northwest and empties its water in Lake Burungi. An exceptional collection of "Acacia tortilis" and baobab trees ahs become synonymous with the name Tarangire National Park. The best time to visit Tarangire National Park to view the wildlife is in dry season, from June-October.
 
Day 2. Lake Manyara
After breakfast, drive to Lake Manyara Park for full day game drives with picnic lunch. Dinner and overnight at camp. The Lake Manyara National park is serene and beautiful with main attractions of a rich bird life, tree-climbing lions, its elephants, and hippos that you can see at closer range than most other places. Lake Manyara is an alkaline lake and at certain times of the year hosts thousands of flamingos and a diversity of other bird life. Although it is one of the smallest parks, its vegetation is so diverse enabling it to host a variety of wildlife habitats. 

Day 3. Serengeti
Depart Manyara after breakfast for Serengeti National Park with a game drive en route. After a picnic lunch, proceed with an afternoon game drive. Dinner and overnight at Seronera or Lobo Campsite.

Day 4. Serengeti
Full day of game viewing in Serengeti with picnic lunch in the park. Dinner and overnight at camp. You can visit the park all year round but there is less game in the park during the dry season – July /October, where they migrate to the Masai Mara in Kenya. During March to May the herds move in search of grazing to the southern section and in May to June, they move towards the western corridor of the park. Serengeti in the low season will still offer game viewing to match that of any park in Africa, and for some, the fact that there will be fewer tourists may be an added bonus.

Day 5. Ngorongoro
Following your morning game drive, depart for Ngorongoro Crater with a game drive en route and an optional stop at Olduvai Gorge Museum. Dinner and overnight will be at Simba Campsite. The Ngorongoro crater is the world’s biggest whole volcanic caldera at 8300 sq km and is arguably the most stunning arena. It is frequently described as one of the wonders of the world, not only because of its geological magnificence, but also because it serves as an extraordinary natural sanctuary for some of Africa’s largest populations of large mammals. Ngorongoro and other freestanding mountains are volcanic in origin, formed during the fracturing process that created the Rift valley 15 to 20 million years ago. When it peaked in size 3 million years ago it was a similar height to Mt. Kilimanjaro today.

Day 6. Ngorongoro
After an early breakfast descend into the crater floor for a full day crater tour. Dinner and overnight at the simba campsite.

Day 7. Ngorongoro/Arusha
After breakfast depart to Arusha arriving to connect with a shuttle bus to Nairobi or a flight to Zanzibar.
