Discover the best of African savannah wilderness by booking our 7 Days Best of Tanzania Adventure safari package that takes you to the northern part of Tanzania exploring the Tarangire, Ngorongoro Conservation Area and Crater, Serengeti National Park and Lake Manyara.
Tarangire National park is most renowned for it high population of elephants than anywhere in Tanzania, its sparse vegetation, strewn with baobab and acacia trees, makes it a beautiful and special attraction.
Come close to the abundance of Wildlife on the floor of Ngorongoro Crater. Eight million years ago, the Ngorongoro Crater was an active volcano but its cone collapsed, forming the crater that is 610 meters deep, 20 kilometres in diameter, and covers an area of 311 sq. km. Spectacular as it is, the crater accounts for just a tenth of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. The crater is home to many species of wild game and birds. With the exception of impala and topi (due to fierce competition with the wildebeest) and the giraffe (because there is not much to eat at tree level), almost every species of African plains mammal lives in the crater, including the endangered black rhino, and the densest population of predators in Africa. A strange thing is that the crater elephants are mainly bulls! The birdlife, which includes the flamingo, is mainly seasonal, and is also affected by the ratio of soda to fresh water in Lake Magadi on the crater floor.
The 7 days Best of Tanzania adventure then takes you to experience the wildebeest Migration in Serengeti. Covering an area of 14,763 square kilometers, the world famous Serengeti National Park is Tanzania’s oldest park, and one of the world’s last great wildlife refuges. It stretches as far as Lake Victoria to the West. Its name comes from the Maasai word Siringet, meaning ‘endless plains’. The park’s vegetation ranges from the short and long grass plains in the south, to the acacia savannah in the centre and wooded grasslands concentrated around the tributaries of the Grumenti and the Mara rivers in the park. The western corridor is a region of wooded highland and extensive plains reaching the edge of Lake Victoria. Thereafter proceed to Lake Manyara. Lake Manyara National Park which apart from its abundant bird life, is known for its tree-climbing lions
