6 days Tanzania luxury safari tour

First day of your 6 Days Luxury Safari adventure in Tanzania, you will be picked up from your hotel in Arusha or directly from Kilimanjaro International Airport if you have an early morning arrival, and transfer to Arusha Domestic Airport, where you will take your early morning flight to the Serengeti National Park.

Your private safari guide will meet you at the airstrip on arrival, and the adventure in Serengeti begins straightaway! We will spend the rest of the day exploring the vast Serengeti plains in search for the Big Cats as well as large and small game alike. Serengeti’s name is derived from the Masai Word’ Siringit’ which means endless plains.

Late in the afternoon you will be taken to your lodge or camp for relaxation and later dinner and overnight in the middle of the Serengeti. Overnight at Kubu Kubu Tented Lodge. Lunch and Dinner included.

Upgrades also available at a supplement; you may stay at Four Seasons Serengeti Lodge, Melia Serengeti Lodge, Naona Moru Camp, One Nature Camp, Mwiba Lodge or one of the Ole Serai Luxury Camps. Depending on the time of visit, your guide will be able to advise eon the best locations and accommodations to use.

On this second day of your safari adventure in Tanzania, you have an option to wake up early for a sunrise safari if you don’t mind waking up early. The early morning safari game drive offers unique opportunity to spot a few nocturnal species retiring from a night hunting outing, but also the animals tend to be more active during this time before the sun is hot.

You may also choose to wake up for a hearty breakfast in the morning then leave the camp with a lunch box in order to spend the whole day out there in the wilderness searching for animals.

The over 14,000 Kilometers square of wilderness makes Serengeti one of the best wildlife safari destinations in the world. The Serengeti is home to the wildebeests migration, the big cats; Lions, leopards and Cheetahs but also the Big 5 of Africa. With a little bit of luck you may spot the lions, elephants, buffaloes, Rhinos, leopards, zebras, giraffes, impalas, gazelles, topis, hartebeests, jackals, hyenas. The list is endless! Serengeti is also a birders haven with more than 500 bird species recorded, both migratory and non-migratory alike.

You will spend these two days doing safari game drives at your own pace as the safari is a private tour and therefore very flexible. Please make sure that you discuss the next day’s schedule with your professional safari guide in the evening.

Later in the afternoon we will check in back at the camp for evening campfire, and later dinner and overnight. Overnight at Kubu Kubu Tented Lodge. Lunch and Dinner included.

After breakfast at your lodge or camp on this morning, you will depart from Serengeti and transfer to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area with game viewing en route.

You will arrive at your lodge at the Crater rim where you will check in at your lodge for relaxation, dinner and overnight.

Early morning breakfast this morning or depart with picnic breakfast so as to descend as early as possible to the Ngorongoro Crater’s floor. The earlier we descend the better the chances of avoiding any crowds especially during the peak season of July to September but also that presents a better opportunity to spot more animals before the sun is hot. Once at the Crater floor you will start your full day of wildlife safari game drives that will go on until time for the picnic lunch at the hippo pool side picnic site.

Ngorongoro Crater is often referred as the garden of Eden because of its abundance of animals and birds which can be spotted easily and a very close range. Ngorongoro Crater is also a Big Five destination and with some little luck you may be able to spot all of them in a single day. It is estimated that the Ngorongoro Crater floor is home to over 30.000 animals, large and small game alike. The Lake Makat at the middle of the lake ensures that there is constant water supply within the Ngorongoro Crater and the lakeside makes a great game viewing region in the Ngorongoro Crater. Later in the afternoon you will be taken back to your lodge / camp for relaxation and inner and overnight.

Accommodation is at the Ngorongoro Serena Lodge. All meals included.

Options: The Crater floor breakfast is one of the best extra you can have at the Ngorongoro  Crater. The Crater floor breakfast is normally offered to a minimum of 6 People but we can also arranged for any number of people including couples.
