Customizable Itinerary Family Safaris Tanzania

This is a 6-days safari that will initially take you to Tarangire National Park which is home to vast population of elephants, where in the dry season you will also see lots of predators, then the tour will take to the heart of safari in Tanzania to the first & most famous African park, Serengeti National Park which has a big population of lions and leopards. And later to Ngorongoro Crater, world heritage which others refer as a natural zoo due to its high concentration of animals that attracts an array of predators such as cheetahs, leopards, lions, hyenas etc.
Day 1
ARRIVAL

Whatever your arrival time at Kilimanjaro International Airport will be, your TmT driver-guide will be waiting for you with a warm welcoming smile.

On the way to the hotel, you will get a brief impression of this large, bustling, Safari Hub. Depending on your arrival time, you may have your pre-safari briefing today; if not, it will take place early tomorrow morning.

Day 2
TARANGIRE NATIONAL PARK

In the morning, we will pick you up from your hotel in Arusha and drive to Tarangire National Park, which is famously known to be the home of the giants (Huge Baobab Trees and Large Herds of Elephants). Its sparse vegetation makes it a beautiful and special location, where up to 300 elephants can be found, looking for underground streams in the dry riverbeds. Migratory wildebeest, zebra and buffalo can also be seen crowding the shrinking lagoons. Here you will enjoy an afternoon game drive with a picnic lunch before heading to your lodge in Karatu.

Day 3
SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK

After an early breakfast, depart towards the most famous National park in the World, the Serengeti. The driving itself, although long, is spectacular. You will drive up the crater highlands, making a quick stop at the rim for an out of this world view of Ngorongoro Crater. This will be an unforgettable moment for anyone seeing it for the first time. As you progress well into the Serengeti, you will see why the name means, in the local language, 'endless plains'. The park has 6,900 sq. mile (18,000 sq. km) and for most of it, the plains will stretch to the horizon defying your senses and perception of distances. It is the home of the Great wildlife Migration and to over 2 million wildebeests, hundreds of thousands of zebras and antelops. As for Big Cats and large predators, it's the place of choice to look out for lions, cheetahs, leopards, hyenas and crocodiles.. Smaller animals like foxes, mongoose, honey badgers, jackals, monkeys, baboons, rock hyrax and African hares, together with more than 500 species of birds, also inhabit this park.

Day 4
SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK CENTRAL (FULL DAY GAME DRIVE)

We have another full day in this wonderful park, rising early to make the most of our time. We are completely flexible with your preferences and your guides will discuss with you on choosing the best spotting locations for the time of year; we can spend time at the Hippo pool watching these majestic animals laze about in the cool water happily living alongside the crocodiles, watch a big pride of lions, be in the middle of the migration, sometimes surrounded by wildebeest, sometimes by zebras, which travel with the wildebeest. For example, on this day, you could do a morning game drive, return to the camp for lunch and relaxation and finish with an afternoon game drive, or you could do a full day game drive with picnic lunch.

Day 5
NGORONGORO CONSERVATION AREA

On this day we suggest a very early wake up in order to do an early morning game drive (when the animals are more active) and see one of the best sunrises you'll ever witness. It's really one of the most beautiful experiences you could imagine. After the game drive, we return to the camp for a rewarding brunch and then we'll proceed to Ngorongoro, this collapsed volcano is the main feature of the area and creates a unique ecosystem with a wide variety of vegetation making it the 8th wonder of the Natural World. The crater spreads for 102 sq. miles and has 2.000ft high walls, making it virtually Noah's ark and inhabiting almost every species of wildlife that is indigenous to East Africa. It's one of the very rare locations in the whole continent where if you are lucky you can witness the black Rhino. The concentration of African wildlife if the greatest in the continent. It's also famous for its elephants which are the largest in the world and have huge tusks. This is due to the rich mineral content of the volcanic soil and its grasses. Ngorongoro Crater is truly a Wonder of the Natural World. You will reach Ngorongoro in time for a sundowner.
There are a range of activities to do in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, like visiting a Maasai village, visiting Oldupai George, Hiking Olmoti crater, visitng the shifting Sand etc.

Very fascinating trip. We drove to Tarangeri and camped in the park for the night. We drove around the first day without seeing any elephants, but the following day we came pretty close. Overall, our guides were fantastic; they shared with us their experiences and history while also adding a good dose of humor—always a pleasure. I'm grateful.

He also made sure we were safe and protected! I will never forget this experience! Thank you Gifton

Everyone was extremely happy and I would recommend him for anything you want to do around Arusha or safaris! He's a great communicator and he's so much fun! Plus, I liked that I was supporting a local tour company instead of an international company. 5 stars!
