Northern Tanzania Safari DiscoveryDay 1: Arrive in Tanzania - Arusha

Welcome to Tanzania! Upon your arrival into Kilimanjaro Airport and after clearing customs and immigration, you

will be

met by your Ecological Wilderness Adventures representative who will transfer you to the lodge

Ngaresero Mountain Lodge

Day 2: Lake Manyara National Park.After breakfast, we will drive to Lake Manyara National Park for a game drive and have a picnic lunch. While

Manyara is

one of the smallest parks, it is one of the most interesting. Much of the northern part of the park is fed by underground

water from the Ngorongoro Highlands and as a result is covered in dense forest vegetation, giving the appearance

of a

tropical jungle. This forest is ideal habitat for elephant, bushbuck, blue monkey, and huge troops of olive baboon. Some

parts are dry bush land attracting zebra, impala and giraffe, while the lakeshore provides another habitat, perfect for

flamingos and other shore birds. Our game drive will take us slowly south through the park and later in the afternoon

proceed to Tloma Mountain Lodge. We will have dinner and stay the night at the lodge.

Overnight at Tloma Mountain Lodge or similar

Day 3: Full day Crater tour

Today we will leave very early in the morning (after a very early breakfast) and drive to the floor of the Ngorongoro

Crater. There we will have a full day game drive, as we will be carrying our picnic lunch with us. The Crater is wonderful

place - you descend more than 2,000 feet on steep tracks cut into the crater wall to reach the open plains of the Crater

floor. The Ngorongoro Crater is undoubtedly the best place in Tanzania to view black rhino as well as large prides

of lionthat include magnificent black-manned males. It is also home to huge herds of wildebeest and zebra and many other

plains game. An alkaline lake in the floor of the Crater provides a habitat for colorful flamingo and a variety of other

water birds. Massive bull elephants feed in the swamps, some adorned with enormous tusks. We will have our picnic

lunch at the hippo pool and later in the afternoon drive back to the Lodge for dinner and overnight

Overnight at Tloma Mountain Lodge or Similar.



Day 4 - 7: Serengeti National Park

After breakfast at the lodge, you will drive to the Serengeti. We will ascend through an extensive and rich agricultural

area between Lake Manyara and the Ngorongoro Crater rim and then we enter the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. The

main route to the Serengeti (a lovely dirt road) passes alongside the Crater rim for our first view down to the Crater floor.

From a good viewpoint overlooking this ecosystem 2000 feet below, a small speck is perhaps an elephant and the pink

hue on the alkaline lake most certainly flamingos. We then cross over from the highlands down to the short grass plains.

From there, we drive slowly over the Serengeti plains to Olduvai Gorge on the eastern boundary of the Serengeti

Ecological Unit. Here the Leakey’s found the hominid remains Australopithecus, Homo habilis and Homo erectus, plus

many other fossils exhibited in the excellent, small museum at Olduvai. Then we are off across the Serengeti

plains to

Central Serengeti. There will be many chances to spot the resident mammals and birds of the area. We may find spotted

hyenas, golden and silver-backed jackals, kori bustards, and gazelles.

At the end of the journey across the plains, we arrive at the Serengeti Savannah Camp – your home for the next 4 days.

The camp is located in an area of the bush where you can experience living in the wild of Africa. This is not

camping in

tents and sleeping bags and eating canned food. This is a luxurious tented camp. The spacious verandah in front

of your

room is furnished with comfortable safari chairs and tables - the perfect retreat for a relaxing moment watching a weaver

bird building its nest in a nearby Acacia tree, a herd of impala grazing quietly only meters away, or simply relaxing

and

listening to the sounds of the African bush. Your bathroom is complete with a dressing table and is fully plumbed with

washbasin, lavatory and showers – a new and often surprising interpretation of ‘camping’. Hot water is available

throughout the day and evening. Your butler will see that your laundry is done, your morning tea is waiting, and the

water for your shower is ready.

Each day we will head for the plains at dawn taking hot, coffee, tea and muffins to have for breakfast later in the morning

on the Serengeti plains. We'll search for bat-eared fox and cheetah out hunting and possibly honey badger still

foraging.As the mornings are very cool at this season the nocturnal mammals are sometimes still active. We may even spot

African wild cat, though it is extremely shy. The Serengeti is an excellent area for cheetah, which feed mainly on gazelles

and hares. Grant's gazelles stay year around while Thomson's gazelle is the last in the migration. During this time

of the

year we will see a lot of wildebeest and zebra as they all congregate where the grass is very nutritional.

Dinner and overnight at the Serengeti Savannah Camp!

Day 08: Ndutu Area

Leave after breakfast head to the Southern end of Serengeti around Ndutu area arrive in time for lunch and

afternoon will

be spent exploring the grassy plains and woodlands in the area, tracking the resident animals such as lion, cheetah and

hyena on the hunt. The area also teems with other wildlife, including elephants, eland, various gazelle species,

Kirk’s dik-

dik, giraffe and, if we’re lucky, the elusive leopard as well.

Dinner and overnight at Ndutu Safari Lodge
