Discovering Great Parks of Tanzania

Summary:

Places to visit: Arusha, Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Lake Manyara. This safari takes you through the highlights of the unrivaled parks of northern Tanzania. It starts with overnight in Arusha before tackling great parks such as Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Serengeti and winding up with Lake Manyara.

Tarangire is a unique combination of stunning nature, wildlife and accommodation. From here, drive to Serengeti, probably the most famous wildlife sanctuary in the world. It is a big game haven that also hosts over 3 million large mammals!

From Serengeti, drive onwards to Ngorongoro Crater, a unique conservation area that is a must visit. The Ngorongoro supports an amazing year round resident population of a variety of wildlife. It is arguably one of the best places to pitch camp for wildlife viewing because of it’s diversity in wildlife and is one of the wonders of the natural world.

Your tour then closes at Lake Manyara National Park, an ornithologists’ paradise that is also noted for the elusive tree-climbing lions. Your stay is in top class accommodation throughout the safari.
