Lion Safari 6 Days Serengeti National Park

Our Driver Guide will pick you at the airport for transfer to your accommodation facility in Arusha. Depending on your arrival time, you can decide to refresh and take your time by the pool after the long journey before meeting our guide for briefing this evening.

Overnight: Standard hotel in Arusha (bed and breakfast)

Today we leave Arusha at 7:00 Am to Tarangire National Park. One of the most striking features of the park is the majestic old baobab trees with massive silvery trunks and gourd-like fruit that dominate the skyline. Tarangire has the greatest concentration of wildlife outside of the Serengeti ecosystem and is part of a larger ecosystem that extends further south into the Maasai steppes. The permanent water sources in the park result in Tarangire being home to the largest elephant populations in Tanzania, where during the dry season over 300 elephants can be seen digging for water in the riverbeds. The park is also home to the shy fringed eared Oryx and the gerenuk antelope that are not seen in other parks.Overnight: Standard Hotel in Karatu (Full board meals-breakfast, lunch and dinner)

This morning we will have a very early start to make our way to the crater where we will descend from the upper rim, driving down a steep track that drops a staggering 600m to the grassy plain, lake and marshes of the basin floor below. The crater provides a unique wildlife spotting experience and is home to the Big Five. Among the animals to watch out for are elephant, lion, cheetah, buffalo and rhino. The perennial marshes teem with birdlife. The crater itself, technically classed as a caldera, owes its existence to the violent fracturing of the Rift Valley over a period of some 15 million years. At one time a volcano occupied this spot that then became extinct and collapsed into the empty magma chamber beneath it leaving only the gigantic natural basin which is now considered a veritable 'Garden of Eden'. By lunch time you will arrive at the lake side, where you will be offered lunchboxes, after which the safari will continue, ending in a few hours with a transfer to Serengeti National Park. Overnight: Standard Hotel in Ngorongoro hills (Full board meals-breakfast, lunch and dinner)

Today we embark on an exciting part of an adventure in the endless plains of Serengeti. Famed for its spectacular annual migration, this is the best place for game viewing in Africa. As we travel through the various habitats from dry, dusty savannahs to long grasses and mud pools, pray and predators can be found in the park with easy. From the Leopards, Lions, Cheetahs, Elephants, buffalos, giraffes, zebras, a thousands of wildebeest and more than 500 species of birds. This day we focus our game drive safari in the eastern and southern parts of the park. Keep your cameras and binocular within reach. We will have our packed lunch on one of the picnic areas in the afternoon. In the evening we will return to our accommodation and enjoy the sunset on bonfire before dinner.

After breakfast you will start the safari by being transferred to the central part of the Serengeti (also called Seronera). Here your driver will try to find the animals you're the most interested in. Closer to lunch time you will visit the Serengeti Visitor Centre, where you will be offered a lunchbox and provided with lots of interesting information not only about the animals’ populations, but also about the history of the National Park. Also, in this area you will be able to see hyraxes, which are the elephant's closest relatives. It is difficult to describe in detail all the animals of the Serengeti valley, for they number in the thousands: elephants, buffalo, ostriches, giraffes, jackals, hyenas, lions, antelopes, leopards and cheetahs—just keep your eyes peeled and enjoy nature around you.
