Arusha to Serengeti National Park

Arusha - Upon arrival at the airport, a representative from Lappet Faced Safaris will greet you and transport you to your accommodation in Arusha. Depending on your arrival time, you may have the opportunity to unwind and gear up for an unforgettable adventure. Arusha is a bustling hub in northern Tanzania, and most travelers pass through it at some point during their safari journey.

Tarangire National Park

Tarangire National Park - After breakfast, your Lappet Faced Safari guide will pick you up from your accommodation. You will then embark on a drive to Tarangire National Park, which takes approximately two and a half hours on well-maintained tarmac roads. The park is named after the Tarangire River, the sole water source for wildlife in the area during the dry season. Tarangire is renowned for its elephant herds, often seen gathering by the river. You might also spot giraffes, bushbucks, and hartebeests, along with predators like lions and leopards. Tarangire boasts more breeding bird species than anywhere else on Earth! The park is also home to ancient Baobab trees, some of which are believed to be over a thousand years old. Lunch will be enjoyed at a picnic site within the park. After your game drive, you will proceed to your accommodation in Karatu.

Ngorongoro Crater

Ngorongoro Crater - Following breakfast, you will journey into the cooler regions of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. The first sight of Ngorongoro Crater resembles a hidden world. Enclosed by steep volcanic walls, it features a pristine wilderness with expansive savannahs, acacia woodlands, and shimmering lakes and swamps. The Crater was formed when a massive volcano erupted and collapsed in on itself two to three million years ago, covering an area of 260 km². It is renowned for its geological wonders and as a natural reserve with some of the densest large mammal populations in Africa. Upon descending into the Crater, you will encounter large herds of wildebeest, zebras, gazelles, and over 500 bird species. The Crater offers the best chance to see the endangered black rhino. Lunch will be at a picnic site on the Crater Floor. After your game drive, you will return to your accommodation in Karatu.

Lake Manyara National Park

Lake Manyara National Park - After breakfast, you will head to Lake Manyara National Park, a small yet diverse park located 120km west of Arusha. The park offers a unique experience with its compact size and the dramatic Great Rift Escarpment towering over its western boundary. The park’s namesake is a shallow salt lake that fluctuates with the seasons, attracting thousands of wading birds, including flamingos and over 500 other bird species. In the park’s dense evergreen forest, you may spot baboons and elephants, and keep an eye out for the famous tree-climbing lions. Enjoy a picnic lunch in the park. After your game drive, you will bid farewell to your guide and be dropped off at a location of your choice, such as Arusha, Kilimanjaro Airport, or Arusha Airport. We hope your adventure with Lappet Faced Safaris has been a memorable one.
