Medium Budget, Maximum Game Viewing in Tanzania’s North (11 days)

Arusha

• When you arrive at Kilimanjaro International you'll be met by a Discover Africa representative and briefed before the start of your safari. 
• Enjoy a late dinner at Arusha Coffee Lodge and relax before your safari adventure begins. 

Tarangire National Park | Lake Manyara

• Today you'll drive to Tarangire National Park for your first two days on safari.
• Stop enroute for a warm lunch before continuing south along the Tarangire River during the afternoon.
• Overnight at Kirurumu Tarangire Camp, with your meals included.

Tarangire National Park

• This is your first full day on safari so get out early to explore the river system all the way to Siale swamp, where you'll find elephant herds, birds and some cats.
• Overnight at Kirurumu Tarangire Camp, with your meals included.

Lake Manyara | Ngorongoro Crater

• You'll drive towards the Great Rift Valley’s Gregory Rift to visit Lake Manyara National Park, famous for its tree-climbing lions. There's wonderful rain forest vegetation and good primate species, pelicans and flamingo.
• Enjoy lunch at Kirurumu Manyara Camp and an afternoon drive at Lake Manyara before driving up the escarpment in the late afternoon and up the rim of Ngorongoro Crater.
• Overnight on the Crater rim at Kirurumu Ngorongoro Crater Camp, with meals included.

Ngorongoro Crater

• You'll spend a full day on the floor of the Ngorongoro Crater (caldera), exploring the area and trying to find the endangered Black rhino as well as lion and cheetah.
• Overnight again at Kirurumu Ngorongoro Crater, with your meals included. 

Serengeti National Park | Ndutu

• The Great Migration should be just north-west of Ngorongoro Crater and you'll drop down onto the southern Serengeti/Ndutu plains. With a packed lunch, you'll spend the whole day driving and looking for herds and some predator interaction. It's hard to take in the vast numbers of wildebeest dotting the green plains of the southern Serengeti.
• Overnight at Kirurumu Ndutu Camp, with your meals included.

Serengeti National Park | Ndutu

• Spend your first full day on the plains among the Wildebeest herds. You'll also go looking for some predator interaction. It's easy to find cats with the migration present, the wildebeest, zebra and gazelles occupy so much space that if you see an open circle you know that there must be a predator at its centre. This is the ideal time to follow cheetah or lion to see what they're up to during the calving season.
• Overnight at Kirurumu Ndutu Camp, with your meals included.

Lake Masek and Matiti Hill

• On your last day on the plains, you'll venture further west towards Matiti Hill to look for more migratory plains game and spotted hyena. If needed, you can enter into the Serengeti side of the plains because our park fees include the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and Serengeti National Park.
• Overnight at Kirurumu Ndutu Camp, with your camp fire and meals included.

Serengeti National Park | Moru

• Your safari in the south-western Serengeti ends at Moru. The top end of the migration might be here towards the end of March and it's a wonderful area – with or without the migration.
• If you're lucky you might bump into rhino, but good lion and leopard sightings are likely all year round at Moru.
• Overnight at one of our favourite camps, Dunia, with your meals and drinks included. 

Serengeti National Park | Seronera Valley

• On your last full day on safari, you'll look for leopard if you haven't seen this elusive cat yet. Driving north from Moru towards the Seronera Valley, we'll look for one of three leopards we know are in the area. Fundi, Mawe and our favourite, Hatari, can be found along the tree line that runs with the Seronera river system just west of the airstrip.
• Overnight at Dunia Camp with your meals and drinks included. 

End of Journey

Your safari ends with a last morning game drive to Seronera airstrip, before you fly back to Arusha. Enjoy aerial views of Ngorongoro Crater and Ol Doinyo Lengai, the Masai holy mountain. We'll transfer you to Kilimanjaro International for your connecting flight home.
