Tanzania Safari Adventure: 6 Day Journey With Comfortable Accommodations

The Serengeti stands out as a renowned national park, showcasing abundant wildlife and classic African landscapes. As Tanzania's oldest park and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is famed for hosting the breathtaking wildebeest migration and providing exceptional wildlife sightings all year round. Annually, more than 2 million wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles journey from the Serengeti to Kenya's Masai Mara National Reserve. If you are fortunate to visit at the opportune moment, you may witness vast herds of wildebeest and zebras extending as far as the eye can see. Your itinerary includes a half-day game drive in Serengeti National Park and a full day game drive in the same park.

One of the top destinations for wildlife viewing in Africa is the Serengeti. You can witness a wide variety of safari animals in abundance here, making it a thrilling experience. While cheetahs and four of the Big Five are commonly sighted, spotting rhinos, particularly black rhinos, is quite rare. Apart from the majestic big cats, you can also catch glimpses of various other predators, such as spotted hyenas, especially during the morning hours.

Following breakfast in the morning, you will embark on a brief safari drive through the Serengeti park, accompanied by a packed lunch or the option to return for a hot meal. The chances of spotting cheetahs and four of the Big Five animals are promising, although rhinos are more elusive. Following the game drive, the journey will continue towards the Ngorongoro region, where you will enjoy dinner and spend the night at Rhino Lodge before nightfall due to the weather conditions near the Ngorongoro crater rim.

At dawn, following your morning meal, you will embark on a drive from Rhino Lodge to the Crater. Exploring the Ngorongoro Crater promises an unforgettable adventure. Few locations can match the rich diversity and abundance of wildlife found here. Witnessing the Big Five in a single day is not uncommon, making the Ngorongoro Crater a top destination for remarkable wildlife encounters in Africa. The vast crater boasts an impressive array of safari animals in large numbers. Spotting the elusive black rhinos, a rare sight in other parts of Tanzania, is a special highlight against the striking backdrop of the crater wall towering at 600 meters (1,968 feet) high.

After enjoying a hearty breakfast in the morning, you will embark on a scenic drive to Tarangire National Park. Here, you can witness a diverse range of wildlife, including up to 300 majestic elephants searching for water in the dry riverbeds. The park is also home to migrating herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, impala, gazelle, hartebeest, and eland congregating around the diminishing lagoons. Keep an eye out for mongoose colonies residing in abandoned termite mounds. While all the main predators can be found in the park, their sightings may be less frequent due to the dense vegetation compared to other parks in northern Tanzania.
