At Tanzania Authentic, we don’t just offer safaris; we offer gateways into the heart of the wild, where every sunrise brings new adventures and every sunset leaves a heart full of memories. Ready to experience the essence of Africa? Join us on a 6-day safari adventure through Tarangire, Lake Manyara, the Serengeti, and the Ngorongoro Crater.
Day 1: Arrival and Exploration in Tarangire National Park
Your adventure begins at the vibrant city of Arusha, where you will be warmly welcomed by our Tanzania Authentic team. After a brief introduction, a scenic drive will take you to your first destination: Tarangire National Park. Known as the ‘Elephant Playground,’ this park boasts large herds of elephants and majestic Baobab trees that sketch the skyline.
Your afternoon game drive will introduce you to the diverse wildlife of Tarangire. From graceful giraffes and buffaloes to a myriad of bird species such as the Ashy Starling and Yellow-collared Lovebird, keep your cameras ready for an exquisite photographic safari. As the sun sets, enjoy a sumptuous dinner at your lodge, where you can relax and soak in the serene atmosphere of the African bush.
Day 2: Further Discoveries in Tarangire
With a whole day in Tarangire, explore more hidden corners of the park. Our expert guides, well-versed in the behaviors and trails of the park’s inhabitants, will enhance your experience with insightful narratives and exceptional viewing opportunities. Whether it’s witnessing a lion pride lounging in the shade or tracking the elusive leopard, every moment is filled with excitement and awe.
As evening approaches, participate in a night game drive—a rare opportunity to see nocturnal creatures and perhaps the magic of hunting predators under the veil of darkness.
Day 3: Lake Manyara National Park – A Flamingo Haven
After breakfast, wave goodbye to Tarangire as we journey to the diverse ecosystems of Lake Manyara National Park. Nestled at the base of the Great Rift Valley escarpment, Lake Manyara is a scenic gem, with lush forests, acacia woodlands, and the expansive lake itself.
Upon arrival, marvel at the pink hues of flamingos lining the lake shores. The park is also famous for its tree-climbing lions, a rare and photogenic sight. Explore the forest paths, and you might spot troops of baboons and blue monkeys. Bird enthusiasts will be thrilled with the park’s over 400 species, making it an ornithological paradise.
Day 4: The Endless Plains of the Serengeti
Prepare for the crown jewel of Tanzania safari destinations—the Serengeti National Park. Renowned for its role in the Great Migration, the Serengeti’s vast plains are home to the largest concentration of wildlife on the planet. This day is dedicated to game drives across these iconic savannas.
Watch awe-inspiring scenes of life and survival unfold: cheetahs accelerating for their next meal; herds of wildebeest and zebra grazing under the watchful eyes of predators; and perhaps even the dramatic river crossings, fraught with danger and raw beauty.
Day 5: More Adventures in the Serengeti
A second day in the Serengeti allows for deeper exploration. Opt for a sunrise balloon safari—an unforgettable experience floating silently over the bustling plains as the new day dawns. The rest of your day will be filled with further game drives and the chance to capture the park’s magic from every angle—from the majestic elephants to the subtle interplay of light and landscape.
Day 6: Ngorongoro Crater – A Natural Wonder
Concluding your safari, visit the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the world’s largest inactive volcanic caldera. Descend into the crater floor for a chance to see an incredible density of wildlife, including the rare black rhino.
As you drive through this garden of Eden, reflect on the unique ecosystems and geological formations that make Ngorongoro a microcosm of Africa. After a picnic lunch in the heart of the crater, begin your journey back to Arusha, carrying with you memories of a lifetime.
