Lake Manyara National Park
The driver will pick you up at your hotel at 8 am and start your beautiful journey across the Great Rift Valley for a full day game drive. Although small in dimension (205 sq. mile), the park has breathtaking scenery and well famous for its lush acacia, giant figs and mahogany tress, as well as a growing population of baboons and blue monkeys. Permanent residents of this park also include giraffes, elephants, impalas and a huge amount of buffalos. The lake is also home to a large number of hippos. The landscapes of Lake Manyara are something that cannot be described with words, and the game drives along the lakes provide stunning photo opportunities of giraffes and buffaloes in the foreground and the lake in the back ground. Later in the evening, return to the lodge for dinner. Note: You can replace this park with Tarangire National Park or add another day and visit both parks.

Serengeti National Park
After an early breakfast, you will head to the most famous national park in the world, the Serengeti. The driving itself, although long, is spectacular. This will be an unforgettable moment for anyone seeing it for the first time. As you progress well in the Serengeti you will see why the name means, in 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 Great Migration to over 2 million wildebeests, and hundreds of thousands of zebras and all kind of antelopes. And as for the big cats and large predators, it is the place of choice to look out for lions, cheetahs, leopards, hyenas with many television scenes like the famous river crossing having been filmed in this park.

After the game drive, you will return to the camp for a rewarding brunch and continue with your morning drive until noon for lunch. You will go back to the camp, pack your stuff in the jeep, and proceed with the game drive. This time after finishing your hot lunch you will proceed with a game drive in Serengeti while heading to Ngorongoro in Ngorongoro Oldeani Mountain Lodge for dinner and overnight.

You will start the day very early and descend into the crater floor for an incredible morning of wildlife in one of the most stunning places on Earth. Due to its dense animal population of approximately 25,000 the crater offers the best game viewing of all parks in Tanzania. In matter of minutes you will be able to see wildebeests, eland, lions, zebras, gazelles, elephants, blue monkey and some of the more than 500 birds species in the area. With a little bit of luck you might catch a glimpse of the endangered Black Rhino. After game drive you will have a picnic lunch near the beautiful Hippo lake. After lunch, you will proceed with a short game drive and then ascend the crater and exit Ngorongoro Conservation Area and head to Arusha.

I spoke to more than 10 safari agencies. Anita stood out from the beginning because she was very responsive and you could ask 10 questions at once, she would kindly and patiently reply to all 10. I made several adjustments and special requests to our plans. We wanted to stay in nice lodges, so Anita let me hand-pick the lodges and adjusted the itinerary to all our wishes. We came to a very reasonable agreement in terms of price. We designed the route and picked the lodges, but we did not carry the extra cost of a private safari and so the agency offered another 4 people to join our itinerary, but never changed the route agreed with me. Then came our guide and driver Joseph. He is awesome! Excellent driving skills and orientation in the tough roads of the Serengeti. Super reliable, dealt with logistics of pickups, dropoffs and meals with minimal impact on the fun safari time. Joseph is kind, professional and knowledgeable. Friendly but serious about his job. Knew everything about the animals and answered sooo many questions. Drove such long distances but could spot the tiniest of creatures while driving! A guide like this really makes your safari. I highly recommend this team! The meals were great thanks to our chef, we always had lunch in comfortable places. On the final day there was an issue with a hotel in Arusha, but Joseph didn’t leave us until he knew we were safe and happy in a different hotel, and then Mohamed the agency boss came personally to check on us! I forgot something in the safari jeep and they went out of their way to come meet me and give it back. Really in terms of professionalism and reliability we are very happy! Thank you for an incredible experience and hoping to send many friends your way!

It's worth it! For those who dream of doing a safari or even those who have any doubts, I can say after 20 days in Africa: the Serengeti was one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. It's really like you were on one of the shows on the National Geographic Channel. The animals are beautiful, as are the landscapes. We could see everything from leones with their puppies to hyenas eating a carcass. Our four-day itinerary included Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. The first is like a natural zoo; everywhere are various species. You can get very close and see the animals in detail. The second is the girl of the eyes. Extensive plains in which the game of survival is seen from close. It is simply stunning, alive and real. In our script said two days in the Serengeti. But that's the point. We arrived around 12:00 and left at 12:00 the next day. So, in reality, you don't have two days, but just one. This happens because you can only stay 24 hours inside the park. If you exceed this time, a new "day" is charged. You pay an extra to stay another day. Therefore, check this issue with the agency before proceeding with the package. After everything we've seen I would say: it's worth paying one more day and staying longer. We slept one day in the park and was in a tent. I'd say for one or two nights all right. But it is not possible to sleep so well and restore the energies. So consider that if your script is long. Try merging the two types of accommodation. And if you choose tents, if you have no experience in camping, like me, know that during the night it is very cold. Bring a second leather or a warm coat. The sleeping bag is not enough to keep you warm. Do not forget towels, toilet paper, socket adapter. The campsite does not provide this kind of benefit. Finally we visited the Ngorongoro boiler. A habitat created within a crater with about 20 km in diameter. There you are more likely to see the famous and so rare rhinoceros, but we were not so lucky. Anyway, the landscape is beautiful. And I would not exclude this park. I highly recommend Serengeti Camping Safari. It failed us at nothing! Anita, our direct contact, was always very requested and polite. He helped us in many things. Whether to call a taxi, buy a cell phone chip or with booking airline tickets. Talk to her. She knows which restaurants to indicate, which places to visit and knows all the parks that exist in Tanzania. If you want to climb Mount Kilimanjaro or Meru, or if you want to have an experience with some tribe, she can provide all the assistance. Our two drivers were very cool. Joseph was with us the first day. He explained about birds, social organization of lions, differences between the various antelopes, rodents.. if you are interested he will have a lot to say. David, more laughing, always spirituous. And we can't forget the cook! He was just very good! Every day there was no banquet! Every day a different menu. Summary: very happy and satisfied! 10/2021 It's worth it!

I have to say that I contacted to several companies to organize my safari in Tanzania. Finally, I chose this one due to the great attention from the person behind, she really took care to every detail, Anita Ayo, thank you very much for creating such a nice experience :) tour name was Serengeti Camping Safari. They offer exactly what it is written on the page. From that, you can modify slightly the route, days and sleeping places. In our case, my gf and me, we decided to go the 4 day / 3 night trip including Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Safari cars are for 6 people. For Lake Manyara we were lucky to be only 4. Regarding the safari, as always, depends on the luck you have to see the animals, we were lucky and we manage to see 4 from 5 of the big 5 (We missed the Rhino). But it is true that specially in Serengeti and Ngorongoro is incredible the quantity of animals. About the sleeping places, in our opinion, it is a game change to pay more and select the better ones. Specially in two camps that we visited Serengeti Heritage Luxury Camp in Serengeti and Pakulala Luxury camp in Ngorongoro, the experience is incredible. It is difficult to describe with words, but to summarize you have luxury camps with perfect tends, perfect views from the camps, hot water in the tend, dinner with views and being close to the animals. Just to finish, say that dont hesitate to talk to them and describe what you are looking for, I am sure that they will help you.

The scenery and wildlife was truly astonishing. The animals were so beautiful and surreal to see in their natural habitat. The weather was good overall. Some rain but mostly sunshine and warmth and we didn't even get a single bug bite! In addition to the things intrinsic, the people were so friendly and helpful everywhere we went. It was truly a trip of a lifetime.
