Tanzania is magnificent with sweeping savannah grassland teeming with wildlife and birds, offering jaw-dropping game viewing experiences. With your 3 days/2 nights trip to Northern circuit destinations of Ngorongoro Conservation Area as well as Serengeti and Tarangire National Parks takes travellers through a real African wilderness experience with almost every animal species found in the Continent.
These protected Areas shelter an array of big cats-leopards, cheetahs and lions, antelopes-Defassa waterbucks, impalas, common elands, Topis bushbucks, hartebeests and others like zebras, giraffes, spotted hyenas and birds.
On the first day of your 3 days trip, you will be picked up from your Hotel in Zanzibar with packed breakfast and driven to Abeid Amani Karume International Airport (formerly known as Zanzibar Airport) for a morning flight to Seronera Airstrip in Central Serengeti or any of the remaining 8 airstrips to different parts of the Park.
On landing at the Airstrip, be met and greeted by our Company representative with packed lunch and straightaway start your game drive till late afternoon when you take a break to enjoy Lunch. The commonest animals in Serengeti National Park and cannot be missed during the game drive are wildebeests, Masai giraffes, Dik-dik, greater kudu, Cape buffaloes, lions, common warthogs, spotted hyenas, elephants and cheetahs among others. There are some animals that are occasionally seen in this popular safari destination and they include hartebeests, Caracals, jackals, Klipspringers and serval cats. The endangered Black rhinos and elusive African wild dogs are rare but sometimes encountered during game drives.
After the exciting discovery of Serengeti National Park, get checked into a Tented Camp, Tents or lodge where you will settle in for dinner and overnight.
Early breakfast by 6:00am then continue to Ngorongoro Conservation Area with en-route game drive and Picnic lunch.
