Tanzania Budget Safari

Picked up from Kilimanjaro airport with your driver and driven to Arusha town where you will have been dropped at the lodge where you will have dinner and overnight.

Safari to Tarangire National Park starts at 08.30 am, for about 2hrs. This park is often referred to as the "home of elephants", The park runs along the line of the Tarangire River and is mainly made up of low-lying hills on the Great Rift Valley floor. Its natural vegetation mainly consists of Acacia woodland and giant African Baobab trees, with huge swamp areas in the south. Both the river and the swamps act like a magnet for wild animals, during Tanzania’s dry season. The Tarangire National Park is reputed to contain some of the largest elephant herds in Africa. We will enjoy a picnic lunch inside the park and do two exciting morning and afternoon game drives, along the Tarangire River. Other animals to be spotted include leopards, lions, giraffes and even tree-climbing pythons. After full day game drive in Tarangire, later evening you will drive to the lodge for dinner and overnight

After breakfast we descend 600m into this magnificent crater for a full-day game drive. The Ngorongoro Crater is one of the most densely crowded African wildlife areas in the world and is home to an estimated 30,000 animals including some of Tanzania’s last remaining black rhino. Supported by a year-round water supply and fodder, the Ngorongoro conservation area supports a vast variety of animals, which include herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, Black Rhino, eland, warthog, hippo, and giant African elephants. Another big draw card to this picturesque national park is its huge population of predators, which include lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs and the ever-elusive leopard. We will enjoy a picnic lunch on the crater floor and then after you will drive to Serengeti National Park with game on route to the lodge for dinner and overnight.

After breakfast We head 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. We arrive in time for lunch and enjoy an afternoon game drive in the Serengeti National Park. Be one of only a few fortunate people to glide in a Hot Air Balloon over the Serengeti Plains. Floating silently above the awakening bush, while spotting wildlife and enjoying the amazing scenery of Africa (Option), We do an after-breakfast game viewing drive along the Sogore River Circuit, which loops into the plains south of the Seronera River, and which is good for possible lion, Thomson gazelle, topi, ostrich and cheetah sightings. The visitor’s center not far from the Serengeti Seronera Lodge and public campsites, is well worth a visit after the morning’s game drive. This nicely designed center, offers some interesting wildlife displays as well as a gift shop selling information leaflets and maps of the area. The center also has a shop where cold drinks and snacks can be purchased, as well as a picnic area and information trail up and around a nearby kopje. We will enjoy a relaxed picnic lunch at the center in the shade of the giant acacia trees. In the afternoon we will follow the Kopjes Circuit, which goes anti-clockwise around the Maasai Kopjes, which usually attract a number of lion and some formidably large cobras. Kopjes are weathered granite outcrops, scattered around the plain. This makes the kopjes particularly good for spotting wildlife.

From early in the morning you will do a half day game drive in Serengeti searching for big game animals with different actions like fighting, playing, killings and matting. You will continue with a game drive towards Ngorongoro to the lodge for dinner and overnight
