Hi there traveler! Interested in taking a safari, possibly in Tanzania? First of all, you are going to have one great trip – a safari is an awesome idea!
A safari, also known as a “game drive,” is an amazing opportunity to see wildlife up close, not in a zoo, but in their natural habitat!

  • A support team handles all the heavy lifting.
  • Safari guides are experts at finding animals.

This national park is one of Tanzania’s most dramatically located wildlife areas, consisting of a massive but shallow soda lake (covering two-thirds of the park), located at the foot of the Great Rift Valley’s western escarpment. The park’s varied habitat attracts a wide variety of animals, including one of Tanzania largest concentrations of elephants, Lake Manyara’s unique tree-climbing lions, as well as large flocks of flamingos attracted by the algae in the lake.

Day 2 Lake Manyara – Serengeti Plains

Non game-viewing travel time: 4 hours
Distance: 205 km
After breakfast you head towards the Serengeti National Park, via the beautiful high lying farmland of Karatu and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Leaving the highlands behind, we descend into the heart of wildlife – the Serengeti National Park – with its endless plains, rolling into the distance as far as the eye can see. You will arrive in to the central of Serengeti N.P, known as the Seronera area, one of the richest wildlife habitats in the park, featuring the Seronera River, which provides a valuable water source to this area and therefore attracts wildlife well representative of most of the Serengeti’s species. You will arrive in time for afternoon game viewing in the Serengeti National Park.
Dinner and overnight in Seronera area, as per the standard and type of accommodation option requested that you will experience.

Day 3 Serengeti Plains

Be one of only a few fortunate people to glide in a hot air balloon over the Serengeti Plains (available at supplementary cost by pre-arrangement). Floating silently above the awakening bush, while spotting wildlife and enjoying the amazing scenery of Serengeti, across rivers and over numerous small villages. After breakfast game viewing drive along the River Circuit, which loops into the plains south of the Seronera River, possible lion, Thomson gazelle, topi, ostrich and cheetah sightings. The Visitor Centre close to the Serengeti Seronera Lodge and public campsites, is well worth a visit after the morning’s game drive. This nicely designed centre offers some interesting wildlife displays as well as a gift shop selling information leaflets and maps of the area. The centre also has a shop where cold drinks and snacks can be purchased, as well as a picnic area and information trail up and around a nearby kopje. You will enjoy a relax picnic lunch at the centre in the shade of the giant acacia trees. Afternoon you will follow the Kopjes Circuit, which goes anti-clockwise around the Maasai Kopjes, which usually attract a number of lion and some formidably large cobras. Kopjes are weathered granite outcrops, scattered around the plains, most of which are miniature ecosystems, providing shade and drinking water in pools left in the rock after the rains. This makes the kopjes particularly good for spotting wildlife in the dry seasons – including lions, which like to lie in wait for animals coming to drink!
Dinner and overnight in Seronera area, lodge or public ground camping safari.

    Amazing Usambara Trekking and Safari has always provided me, my family and friends with above average, quality customer service. The owner of this company is clever, charming, and so nice! His attention to detail is impeccable, his knowledge of nature and Tanzania's surroundings is noteworthy and his team set the standards high. If you want a trustworthy guide, choose Mr. Ronaldo Mvungi.
