Lake Manyara National Park, Serengeti National Park, Tarangire national park, and Ngorongoro Crater are the most popular National Parks in Northern Tanzania. On this 7 days safari, you will get to know them well, we will give you the best experience possible and show you all our country has to offer and there so you can return home with good stories to share with your family and friends. The vehicles we use are a mix of 4 and 7 seats, each vehicle is equipped with a hatched roof and sliding windows which allow you to have the best game view and take the best pictures.
Upon arrival in Tanzania, Lindo Travel staff will pick you up at Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) and transfer you to your hotel in Moshi town where you will overnight at Panama Garden resort. It depends on the traffic jam but usually, it takes 45 minutes from the airport (JRO) to Moshi town by car. In case you will arrive early in Tanzania your driver guide or our office representative will meet you and provide a short briefing about your safari on the same day but if you will arrive late on this day the safari briefing will be provided on the next day before the beginning of your adventure.
On this day your safari will start at 7:15 AM and drive to Lake Manyara National Park. The park offers a mosaic of vegetation habitats that can sustain a high density of wildlife. Its groundwater forest which acts like a giant filtering sponge that gradually releases water so it can flow gently into streams, instead of running off, prevents the soil from eroding. From its high concentrations of animals such as elephants, buffalo, and antelopes to its dense forests of Trichilia, ficus, and Acacia species, the park is diverse with both wildlife and vegetation. With its location at the base of the east African rift valley along the Gregory rift, it offers spectacular viewing of the escarpment. Lake Manyara is one of those national parks which offer rich and diverse game viewing within a reasonably small area. It is one of the best areas for elephant viewing and tree climbing lions.
After breakfast, you will drive towards the Serengeti National Park, via the beautiful high-lying farmland of Karatu and Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Serengeti National Park is the endless plains, rolling into the distance as far as the eye can see. You will continue with a game drive to the central park area, known as the Seronera area, one of the richest wildlife habitats in the park, featuring the Seronera River, which provides a valuable water source to this area and therefore attracts wildlife well representative of most of the Serengeti’s species.
You will leave early in the morning around 8:00 AM after breakfast for a full game drive along the Sogore river circuit which loops into the plains south of the Seronera river which is good for viewing lion, Thomson gazelle, topi, ostrich, and cheetah sightings. After having a picnic lunch you will follow the kopjes circuit which usually attracts a number of lions and some formidable large cobras, Kopjes are weathered granite outcrops scattered around the plains that provide drinking in pools left in the lock after the rain, this makes the kopjes particularly good for spotting wildlife in the dry seasons including lions, which like to lie and wait for animals coming to drink water.
You will wake early in the morning and have breakfast then start a game drive at 7:00 AM to see nocturnal predators returning from hunting. Continue with the game routine towards the Ngorongoro conservation area and pass through Naabi Hill Gate. Proceed with a game drive and visit the Maasai village where you will experience the Maasai traditions and culture later in the evening will drive overnight at Ngorongoro Sopa Lodge.
After breakfast around 7:30 AM you will descend into the crater for a wonderful game drive with picnic lunch. The Crater (World Heritage site) holding a permanent population of more than 30,000 animals, with its 2000 ft, high walls, you can expect to see lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, hippos, flamingos, jackals, rhinos, antelopes, many birds, and other species. The crater is also home of the rare black rhino almost extinct in Tanzania. With a bit of luck, you will see the “Big Five” during the game drive. After the game in Ngorongoro crater, you will drive back Moshi for your overnight hotel.
After breakfast, you will be picked up from the hotel and drive to the airport you will be there 2 hours before your flight time.
