You will be met at Kilimanjaro International Airport and welcomed to Tanzania by a Dikop Tours staff member. Our Staff member (Guide) will drive you to Arusha to your accommodation where you will have the chance to relax and prepare for tomorrow’s safari.
In the morning you will start your safari with a drive to the Tarangire National Park. The park is roughly the size of Luxembourg and covers an area of about 2,600 km². Bush savannah, seasonal swamps and giant baobab trees make up the landscape of this nature reserve and the park is probably one of the best places in East Africa to see elephants. From the open roof of the safari vehicle you will be able to watch them and absorb the landscape. Apart from elephants, the park is also home to Masai giraffes, various gazelles, antelopes, buffaloes, lions, leopards, baboons and more than 500 types of birds. After an extensive game drive you will leave the park in the afternoon and drive to your accommodation in Karatu.
After an early breakfast, you will enter the Ngorongoro crater on a steep and narrow road. The slopes are forested but soon the landscape changes to savannah dotted with the occasional acacia tree. The wildlife here is breathtaking and if you are lucky you might spot the “Big Five” – lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino, and leopard. The crater is also home to warthogs, wildebeests, zebras, hippos, hyenas, and many more. Some interesting facts about the crater, The Ngorongoro Crater is the world’s largest volcanic caldera, formed during the massive explosion of the volcano once higher than Kilimanjaro some 2 to 3 million years ago. The crater has a total area of 304 km², 600 m deep, and a diameter of 20 km. After a morning full of game viewing and a picnic lunch you will leave the crater in the afternoon and head to Serengeti National Park for overnight.
Serengeti has special sights, sounds, and smells of Africa with stunning scenery, ever-changing light, and entertaining wildlife. In this par,k the animals don’t walk to any schedule so we may find lions, leopards, elephants, zebras, cheetahs, antelopes, gazelles, hippos, and many species of birds and reptiles during our game drive. Here you might spend your day in the central park area or your guide will know where to take you according to the season (migration of the animals).
Half game drive in Serengeti National Park and before leaving the park we visit the Serengeti visitor’s center for more information about the park and be able to follow the trails of wildebeest and see some animals very close such as rock or tree hyrax, porcupines, and lizards. After that, we will be having lunch and exit the Serengeti and drive to Karatu.
After a long drive through the rough and dusty roads from Serengeti and Ngorongoro Conservation Area, together with the great adventure you have had from day one. This day will be a great day for you to relax and enjoy the swimming pool and wait for the next day of adventure. But still, there is an option, if you feel good then you can have a short walk in the evening with your guide around your lodge to Karatu town.
This last day will be taking you to the paradise of the primates and aquatic birds. The lake Manyara national park offers breathtaking views and a large variety of habitats such as acacia woodlands and underground water forest. The park is very small but can support a large number of animal species and incredible bird life.
