Upon the first day of Safari, in the morning after breakfast, depart for Elephant safari heading straight to the Tarangire national park. Elephants are the main attraction, with up to 3,000 in the park during the peak months. Peak season also sees good numbers of wildebeest and zebra as well as giraffe, buffalo, Thompson’s gazelle, greater and lesser kudu, eland, leopard, and cheetah. The real prizes in the park are dwarf mongoose, oryx and gerenuk – but viewings are very rare. Tarangire is one of Tanzania’s finest birding destinations. In the evening depart to the Tarangire Zion camp site for dinner and overnight stay.
Spend the second day at the Tarangire national park, getting familiar with the wildlife and botany species especially baobab trees that attract many Elephants to peel their backs. Making some memorable pictures that will make you remember the Safari at Tarangire in the rest of your life. In the afternoon you will enjoy your lunch box at the Tarangire picnic site, while in the evening you will depart to the camp site for dinner and overnight.
In the morning after hot breakfast you will experience the full day game drive at Lake Manyara national park. Apart from Tree-climbing lions, the park is also famous for its elephant and a huge number of baboons, and its varied landscape supports an impressive range of other game including wildebeest, buffalo, hippo, flamingo, zebra, warthog, waterbuck, dik-dik and impala. In the afternoon you will enjoy lunch at the picnic site at Lake Manyara, while in the evening, you will depart to Lake Manyara Serena safari lodge for dinner and overnight stay.
Early in the morning after breakfast, driver guide will take you heading to the world largest crater, the Ngorongoro that believed to accommodate much wildlife at the same pool. At Ngorongoro crater is the place where you will see animals in easiest way as they are accommodated on a single pool. The Ngorongoro Crater is the best place in Tanzania to see ‘The Big Five’. A healthy population of black rhino and some of the largest tusker elephants left in Africa today are the prize spots, but the crater is also home to good populations of lion, leopard and hyena along with healthy herds of wildebeest, buffalo and zebra.In the evening driver guide will take you back to Moshi/Arusha end of your African adventures.
With almost a quarter of this vast country dedicated to wildlife reserves and national parks, Tanzania is justifiably regarded as Africa’s premier safari destination. It’s one of my favourite countries, not just for the bush, beaches and big peaks, but also for the genuine warmth and friendliness of its people.
"The capital of safari in word and deed" The Northern Circuit boasts what is surely the most celebrated park on the continent, the Serengeti, and few feelings will ever compare to the incredible moment when I saw a cheetah chase down a gazelle across the seemingly endless plains of this great wilderness, without another car in sight. Aside from playing host to the annual wildebeest migration, the Serengeti also boasts one of the largest lion populations in Africa. In fact, Tanzania is home to almost 40% of Africa’s entire lion population.
I can't praise the guides, chefs and porters enough. Everything was perfect. Tent and sleeping bag (which I rented) were in great condition, warm and were always prepared when we got to camp each day.I would highly recommend Mori Tours & Safaris to anyone considering climbing Kili.
