This short safari gives you a taste of the amazing wildlife of Tanzania.
During this safari, you’ll visit Lake Manyara National Park. Here we will explore its green forests, pay a visit to the Lake that, at several times a year, will be filled with thousands of flamingo’s. On our way we will pass many different habitats, including the hippo-pool, where all hippo’s feast. After Lake Manyara we’ll spend a day at Ngorongoro conservation area its famous Ngorongoro crater. A unique habitat which hosts many wild animals. So many, that it has in fact, the worlds most dense population of grazing wild animals per square meter on the planet!
*On these safari’s its possible to join a group, to keep the cost low. You can also camp out with your own group and have your camping safari tailor-made to create your group’s ultimate adventure.
This day we will visit Lake Manyara national park, one of the smaller national parks of Tanzania. It’s named after its huge lake take covers most of the area. Nonetheless, Lake Manyara is one of the parks with the biggest variety of landscapes.
You can find yourself in thick woodlands where elephants feast and hunters are hidden, muddy pools filled with hippo’s, mysterious jungle area’s where monkeys rule, desert-like areas where giraffes pass through and the edge of the lake, where thousands of flamingo’s have their summer homes.
Of course not to forget about the impressive 400 meters deep Rift Valley Escapment. A tear in the earth that stretches out for thousands of Kilometers across East-Africa.
After breakfast, we will drive towards a steep and narrow road that takes you into the Ngorongoro crater. A bumpy, but adventureous road with some beautiful views! The slopes are forested, but soon the landscape changes to savannah.
Down in the crater, you’ll be able to spot many animals from a distance. Here is your best chance to spot all the members of the Big 5, including the endangered black rhino!
After the first gamedrive we’ll have a relaxing picknick-lunch at a hippo-filled lake. After lunch, we’ll slowly drive back to the edge of the crater and stop whenever we pass an interesting sight!
During this trip we camp at several established campsites on the route. Here we will set up our tents. Our tents are of high quality, capable of withstanding all the wild conditions of the African savannah.
We use the newest, bigger tents to ensure a comfortable stay. All necessary camping equipment you need, will be provided. Please note that sleepingbags are not provided, as most people like to bring their own. If you don’t have one, they can be rented.
Camping is THE most adventurous way to do a safari and great for adventure-seekers and more budget-orientated travelers. Nothing get’s the adrenaline flowing more, than knowing that the only thing between you and a lion is a thin layer of canvas!
*Group joining prices are always the same. Take note that there aren’t unlimited amounts of groups available and we might have to share a car with some of our partners to get a group within your time-range. Please be as flexible as possible in your safari dates to ensure an available trip.
