Day 2

Arusha - Tarangire National Park (lunch at Tarangire Safari Lodge)

After breakfast, we will depart for Tarangire National Park, which we will reach after approximately 2 and a half hours on a paved road until we arrive at the park's entrance. This park is considered one of the most beautiful refuges for Tanzania's large fauna. Its name comes from the Tarangire River, which crosses the park from south to north. Baobabs and acacias dominate the landscape, as do the elephants. Additionally, we can observe some animals not found in other parks, such as the Jackal or types of antelopes unique to this location. Lunch at Tarangire Safari Lodge, enjoying stunning views of the Park, and where, for an additional charge, it will be possible to cool off in the pool. The safari will continue in the afternoon, taking advantage of the best light for photographing animals and landscapes. The best season to visit Tarangire extends from mid-July to February, but the park can reserve wonderful surprises throughout the year. Arrival at the camp around 5:30 PM, where we can relax while admiring the spectacle that nature offers at the end of every day. Dinner and accommodation.

Day 3

Tarangire National Park - Manyara National Park- Karatu

Early in the morning, we depart for Manyara National Park, which we will reach after a 1.5-hour drive. Safari in Manyara Park. Picnic lunch at the park tables in front of the lake. Manyara is quite different from the rest of the Tanzanian reserves; it is covered with forests and bushes, which requires sharp eyesight to spot animals, including tree-climbing lions. Its alkaline and shallow lake is often home to birds such as pink flamingos, herons, cranes, etc., as well as a notable population of hippos that snort while semi-submerged in the water. Around 5 in the evening, we depart for Karatu, arriving about 40 minutes later. Dinner and accommodation.

Day 4

Karatu - Ngorongoro Conservation Area - Olduvai

Early breakfast at the camp. This day will be dedicated to exploring the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. From the lodge, it takes about 15 minutes to reach the “Ngorongoro Gate” and another 45 minutes to reach the road that descends to the crater floor. The caldera measures 20 km in diameter and protects in its center an incredibly rich fauna, perfectly safeguarded by a 600-meter-high wall. This natural amphitheater is undoubtedly the world’s most famous wildlife reserve... It is the land of the Big Five: buffalo, elephant, leopard, lion, and rhinoceros. Picnic lunch. The safari continues in the afternoon in this splendid location that offers a mix of forests, plains, and swamps, where different wildlife cross in varied landscapes. We will ascend from the crater around 4:00 PM and make a short stop on the north slope of the crater to admire the superb landscapes in beautiful light. After arriving at our camp, we will take a 1-hour walk at the top of a Kopje to admire the great plains of the Serengeti before the sun sets. Dinner and accommodation.

Day 5

Olduvai - Serengeti

After breakfast at the camp, we will continue our safari, heading to the great plains of the Serengeti. The Serengeti is a vast ecosystem, home to a dazzling array of wildlife and the site of the planet's largest migration. The name comes from the Maasai word for endless plains, but the Serengeti is much more, with woodlands, riverine forests, and swamps that provide shelter to several species of mammals and more than 300 varieties of birds. The fate of these animals is intimately linked to the ever-changing landscape. The transition from the rainy season to the dry season means there is no rest or stability: those who live here must remain in constant motion to survive on the savanna. Picnic lunch. In the afternoon, we will continue our safari along the Seronera and Banagi rivers, where a significant concentration of felines (lions, leopards, …) is often found. Arrival at the camp is expected around 5:00 / 5:30 PM. Dinner and accommodation at Ronjo Camp, which is located in the center of Serengeti NP, near the Banagi River and away from other camps. Ronjo Camp is nestled in the heart of a beautiful acacia forest, providing cover and shade. Ronjo offers an authentic experience, where you can forget about your phone, admire the stars around a campfire, and listen to the "voices" of the savanna.
