Northern circuit, Having it All.

8 Days

Overview

This trip will give you a chance to explore Tarangire, Serengeti, Lake Manyara, Lake Natron, and the magnificent Ngorongoro Crater. Lake Natron, the soda lake, lies below the only active volcano in Tanzania, the “Ol Doinyo Lengai”. The area is rich in wildlife, history, and culture.

This safari is ideal for nature enthusiasts, couples, families, and friends traveling together. The safari can be done all year round but we don’t recommend visiting Lake Natron during the rainy season as the roads tend to be impassable.

Game drives into these finest parks in northern Tanzania will leave you with memories you will never forget.

Note: While in Serengeti Np, you can spice up your African safari by engaging yourself in different activities like balloon safaris (at extra costs). Or you can opt to conduct a night game drive in either Tarangire Np or Lake Manyara.

Trip Highlights.

  • Explore Lake Natron, the breeding site of 75% of all lesser flamingos in the world.
  • You will get an opportunity to visit Serengeti Np, the best national park in Africa.
  • Discover the Ngorongoro crater, the only place on earth where human and wildlife coexist.
  • Visit Tarangire Np, the northern circuit elephants paradise.

Itinerary

We will pick you up from your hotel at 7:30am and after being familiar to the guide, chef & other clients we will drive to Tarangire national park (2hr drive) famous for its diverse landscape. The park is particularly known for the abundance of Ancient Baobab trees & having the largest concentration of elephants in the whole country and provides unique chances to observe the interaction between elephant families. We will do a game drive through the park depending on where they are reported sightings of animals (mostly predators, lions, cheetah & leopards as they are harder to spot) as herbivores (giraffes, wildebeest, zebras etc. are plenty to see through the park.
Later on will go to the Tarangire river picnic site and enjoy the beautiful view of the river & animals while having lunch, small monkeys & baboons will try to scare you of your lunch but there is nothing to worry about
After lunch will proceed with the game drive and exit the park around 4:30pm where will head to our accommodation (Marera valley lodge) for dinner & sleep
Meals included:
• Lunch
• Dinner

Distance: 80 km
Time/road condition: 2 hours, mostly sandy, bumpy roads.

After your breakfast, you will start your trip to Lake Natron. The route takes you through the cultural home of the Maasai. On the way, you will pass Engaruka, an archaeological site of a Stone-age settlement, as well as majestic Ondonyo Lengai, the only active volcano in the Great Rift Valley.
Lake Natron will fascinate you with its colors varying from pink, lime green, and red, this due to the concentration of minerals. Lake Natron is a breeding site to 75% of the world's lesser flamingos.
At midnight, wake up for the hike towards the ol donyo lengai mountain hike for a total of 6 hours
Dinner and overnight at Lake Natron Tented Camp.

After a Break, explore the Lake Natron for some time before continuing your journey further north to Serengeti Np. Enjoy the last view onto Lake Natron before leaving the Rift Valley behind and continue via the village of Wasso to Northern Serengeti.
Enter Serengeti by midday at Kleins Gate and enjoy a first game drive in Lobo. Between October and December, large herds of wildebeests can be found as they cross back to the southern plains. Lobo supports a vast diversity of resident game, including leopards, lions, buffaloes, elephants, giraffes and zebras, thanks to permanent springs and a landscape marked by open grass plains scattered with kopjes. Proceed to your overnight accommodation.
