Tanzania Safari

Day 2: Tarangire National Park

Giants are fighting for your attention in the 2600 square kilometre of Tarangire National Park, which is famous for its big herds of elephants and its century old giant baobab trees. Besides, many other animals reside here next to the Tarangire River, and so it’s no wonder many people love Tarangire!

SafariBando guide readily explains why so many elephants choose Tarangire over other National Parks, after which he takes you to the best spots to see them. On your way to Tarangire it’s possible to make a stop in a picturesque Maasai village.

Day 3-4: Serengeti National Park (Include Hot Air Balloon)

The word Serengeti means endless plains in the language of the Maasai, which is exactly what you will see the coming days; miles and miles of African savannah! And trust us: it might be the most impressive landscape you will ever see. Of course, Serengeti National Park is home to an enormous variety of wildlife, which is why some many nature documentaries where shot here.

Submerge yourself in this unique landscape, while wildebeests and zebras pass you by in their Great Migration. Spot lions on groups of rocks called kopjes, leopards in single trees or cheetahs hunting for a calf in between the wildebeests. Pass by giraffes, hippos, crocodiles, gazelles and a vervet cat or wild dog if you are lucky. The epitome of romance you can experience in a hot air balloon above these plains (which can even have the shape of a heart!).

Have a lovely overnight in a luxury safaritent, with a staff that knows how to give newly weds just that bit of extra during dinner for example. Cuddle up at night while listening to the distant roar of a lion or the bellowing of the Great Migration herds. This is the true safari experience! Subsequently you will pass through the Ngorongoro Highlands on your way to or from Serengeti, an impressive landscape where you might run into groups of giraffes or some members of resident Maasai tribes.

Day 5: En-Route Serengeti to Ngorongoro Crater    
Ngorongoro Conservation Area is immens, and contains what might be the most special place in Africa – the Ngorongoro Crater! This is a relatively small but very fertile piece of land of 20 by 20 kilometers surrounded by a steep craters edge. Nowhere else in the world you will find this many wild animals on such a small area; on an average day 25,000 big mammals can be found here!

This means that today you stand a big chance to spot some members of the Big Five: lions, elephants and buffaloes roam around here in numbers. Last but not least the crater is home to a few dozen rare black rhinos, which makes this the best place to spot one!

The Conservation Area itself is much bigger than just this crater – in this area you can find multiple calderas and also Olduvai Gorge (with the oldest human remains in the world) can be found here. Driving there you can visit some beautiful Maasai villages, and if your time allows it you can even do a guided walking safari on the edge of the Ngorongoro Crater.
