6 Days Camping Safari Tarangire Ngorongoro,Serengeti and Lake Eyasi is a once in a lifetime holiday travel experience. It touches something deep within you and can be an affordable getaway that will never be forgotten.
To start off you have the option of choosing between a trip to Tarangire National Park or Lake
Manyara National Park. The two Northern circuit delights offer different experiences at different
times of the year. Consult your guide for the best option to visit.
Tarangire National Park
Once you’ve entered Tarangire, you’ll begin your game drive across a rich vista of endless
golden savannah that surrounds the Tarangire River. The perennial river is a vital source of
water for the animals of the region during the dry season and a setting of some riveting game
viewing. The river encrusted with acacia and Baobab trees acts as a watering hole for the park’s
large elephant population as well as other herbivores such as zebras and antelopes.
A picnic lunch with a view of the river is a great way to take it all in, but you’ll have to keep on
your toes as the local monkey population does its best to separate you from your lunch!
Driving through the park you’ll also have the opportunity to see lions, leopards, cape buffalo,
and a huge variety of antelopes. If you’re particularly lucky, you might even see endangered
animals such as the Greater Kudu or the Fringe-Eared Oryx.
After your day’s drive is done, you’ll retire to your accommodation for the evening.
Oldupai Gorge Museum: Know more about the evolution of humans by taking a visit to the
Oldupai Gorge Museum which commemorates some of the oldest evidence of human habitation
ever found. Renowned as the Cradle of Mankind, the stark but stunning prehistoric site of the
gorge country is famed for ancient human and elephant fossils, tools excavations.
Maasai boma visit: Pay a visit to one of the famous Maasai bomas, where you’ll have the
opportunity to witness (and participate in) traditional Maasai dance, tour an authentic Maasai
village, and even do a little souvenir shopping at the local market.
Both of the above activities attract an additional cost. Speak with your safari expert about
adding them to your itinerary.
After a delicious lunch at the Serengeti National Park picnic area, it’s time to explore the
Serengeti itself. Witness Africa’s iconic savannah landscape and be amazed by the sheer

seemingly never-ending treeless plains you can easily view an abundance of hoofed animals
ranging from wildebeests and zebras migrating together, antelopes, African buffaloes, black
rhinos, hyenas and gazelles. It is also the premier predator destination with the largest
population of lions in Africa. You can spot lean cheetahs and the shy leopards resting in the
kigelia or acacia trees. The remote landscape of northern Serengeti is dominated by open
woodlands hills and the best place to find elephants, giraffes, and dik-dik.

to the standard and the type of accommodation requested from our options.
After a hearty breakfast, you will head to the UNESCO heritage site of Ngorongoro Crater,
which has also earned recognition the Eighth Wonder of the World. The crater is the world’s
largest intact caldera with a floor span of 260sq.km. and the first glimpses of the fascinating
natural vistas will convince you why it is the prime tourist attraction in Tanzania. Ngorongoro
Crater is part of the 8300 sq. km. Ngorongoro Conservation Area, which is a biosphere reserve
in a state of constant geological flux. Encompassing lush highlands, savannahs, woodlands,
lakes, volcanic calderas, and forests, the conservation area is rich in wildlife and is the
sanctuary of over 120 species of mammal including the fabled Big Five. It is also the place for
viewing the endangered black rhinoceros grazing on the plains and hippos cooling their hind in
water.
You can soak in the breathtaking views from the safe environs of your comfortable safari
vehicles with pop – up roofs and capture some of the prized wildlife of Africa. Nearly 30,000
animals call the crater home with predators like lions, leopards, cheetahs, jackals, and hyenas,
sharing space with a large population of wildebeest, zebras, antelope, Cape buffalo, and more.
After the thrills and excitement of the day, you will have a picnic lunch in the park. Thereafter we
will make our way to Lake Eyasi to overnight.
The indigenous Hadzabe hunter-gatherers are a fascinating tribe with an ancestry dating back
to nearly 10,000 years. Known as the original bushman of Tanzania, they are now facing
extinction with only 2000 of them left today. You will get a demonstration of the hunting
techniques and get insights into how their daily life is and how their primitive traditions and
hunting techniques continue to endure and helps sustain and feed them. You will also learn how
the Hadzabe uses distinctive motions and even the body parts of certain animals to lure their
quarry close before bringing them down with poison-tipped arrows.
You can also pay a visit to the people of the Datoga tribe while you’re in the area. The Datoga
are farmers who keep animals such as cows, sheep, and goats. Their culture is another
fascinating example of Tanzania’s cultural diversity.
After a late breakfast at the lodge, you’ll continue on to Arusha/Moshi.
