11-Day Private Tanzania Safari: Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater & Northern Serengeti

After the Serengeti, Tarangire has the greatest concentration of wildlife in Tanzania, and in the dry season the Tarangire River is a magnet for thirsty wildlife. Large herds of elephants and migratory wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, impala, gazelle, hartebeest and eland gather, and not surprisingly the predators follow. This is also the one place in Tanzania where dry-country antelope such as oryx and gerenuk are regularly spotted. Tarangire is also known for its spectacular baobab trees and its breathtaking views of the Masai Steppe and the mountains to the south. Located just a few hours’ drive from the town of Arusha, Tarangire is a popular stop for safaris travelling through the northern circuit on their way to Ngorongoro and the Serengeti. The park extends into two game-controlled areas, and the wildlife is allowed to move freely throughout.

The Ngorongoro Crater is game viewing at its most intense, and it is not surprising that it is one of Tanzania’s major tourist drawcards. Within the crater rim, a daily wildlife drama is played out as large herds of zebra and wildebeest graze near lions, leopards, elephants and black rhinos. Outside the crater, a similar drama continues in a more spread-out manner, with Masai herdsmen thrown into the mix.

Day Itinerary

After breakfast, depart from your lodge with a packed lunch, descend into the Ngorongoro Crater and spend half a day game viewing on the crater floor. In the afternoon, ascend and drive to the Serengeti plains, arriving in the early evening. Check in to your lodge for dinner and overnight. You will stay for 2 nights with game drives. This is a full-day activity. There is a possibility to downgrade or upgrade your accommodation level. Accommodation: Suenus De Africa Luxury Tented Camp, located inside Serengeti National Park

The Serengeti together with Kenya’s Masai Mara Game Park forms Africa’s most famous wildlife park. The image of acacia trees on an endless grass plain epitomizes Africa for many, and then add a Masai warrior and some cattle to the picture and the conversation needs to go no further. The annual wildebeest migration through the Serengeti and the Masai Mara is the largest mass movement of land mammals on the planet – with more than a million animals following the rains. But that is not where the game viewing ends; large prides of lions, elephants, and giraffes in grasslands, gazelles, and eland to mention but a few. Aside from traditional vehicle safaris, hot-air ballooning over the Serengeti plains has become almost essential and you can even do a horseback safari.

The vast, rolling savannah of the Northern Serengeti is known as the hub of the great migration. The landscape is characterized by wide stretches of savannah interspersed with acacia trees and riverine woodlands. Wildlife can be seen along the banks of the Mara River, and visitors may witness the annual spectacle of migrating wildebeest. Commonly spotted wildlife includes plains game such as buffalo, zebra, gazelle, impala and giraffe, as well as lion and leopard. Optional activities include bird watching and game safaris (hot air ballooning is available at extra cost).
