Tour step
You'll be collected from the airport. Accommodation before the tour starts can be arranged for an extra cost.
Day 1
After your safari briefing, leave the hotel in Arusha town and drive on a tarmac road 130km to Lake Manyara National Park. The lake occupies a large portion of the park. The forest starts just when you cross the park gate along the base of the Great Rift Valley and the hot springs are located to the west of the park. The park is home to the famous tree-climbing lions as well as buffalo, giraffes, hippos, baboons, flamingos, ostriches, geese and so many more. After your picnic lunch, take off for an afternoon game drive. In the late afternoon, drive to camp for dinner and your overnight stay. Just outside Lake Manyara NP All meals included All drinks (Except for spirits/liquor)
Day 2
After breakfast, head towards the Serengeti National Park by way of the beautiful high-lying farmland of Karatu and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Leaving the highlands behind, you'll descend into the heart of wild Africa; into the Serengeti National Park with its endless plains rolling in the distance as far as the eye can see. Head to the central park area, known as the Seronera area, one of the richest wildlife habitats in the park. The Seronera River provides a valuable water source to this area of the park and attracts wildlife well represented by most of the Serengeti’s species. Arrive in time to enjoy lunch and then head out for an afternoon game drive. Dinner and your overnight stay are at the Seronera Campsite. Inside Serengeti NP All meals included All drinks (Except for spirits/liquor)
Day 3
After breakfast, enjoy an early morning game drive along the Sogore River Circuit, which loops into the plains south of the Seronera River. This is a good location for spotting lions, gazelles, topis, ostriches and cheetahs. The Visitor Center, close to the Serengeti Seronera Lodge and public campsites, is well worth a visit after this morning's game drive. This nicely designed centre offers some interesting wildlife displays as well as a gift shop where you can purchase information leaflets and maps of the area. In the afternoon, follow the kopjes circuit going counterclockwise around the Maasai kopjes. On this tour, you will have the chance to view more lions and some formidably large cobra. Dinner and your overnight stay are in the Seronera Camp. Inside Serengeti NP All meals included All drinks (Except for spirits/liquor)
Day 4
After breakfast, depart to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Have a view from far at Olduvai Gorge which boasts a history dating back to the dawn of time. It was here that the anthropologists, Dr. Louis and Mary Leakey discovered the skulls of "Nutcracker Man" and "Handy Man" both very significant links in the chain of human evolution. Arrive at the lodge in time for lunch and then descend over 600m into the crater to view the wildlife for a half-day safari tour. Dinner and your overnight stay are at Ngorongoro Simba Campsite. On the crater rim of Ngorongoro Crater All meals included All drinks (Except for spirits/liquor)
Day 5
Your day will start at 7:00 am with a game drive inside the Ngorongoro Crater. Due to the high crater walls (2000ft), very few animals migrate in and out of the area. You can expect to see lions, elephants, zebras, hippos, flamingos, jackals, rhinos, antelopes, a variety of birds and many other animal species. Your driver-guide will be in contact with other safari drivers and will amaze you with his skills in locating hidden animals. After a picnic lunch and further exploration in the Ngorongoro Crater, we will drive to the Twiga Campsite for dinner and your overnight stay. Inside Ngorongoro Crater All meals included All drinks (Except for spirits/liquor)
Day 6
After breakfast at the camp, you will leave early for Tarangire National Park, the third largest park in Tanzania. Tarangire is characterized by its baobab trees and the amazingly large herds of elephants that live here. The Tarangire River that flows all year round is the lifeblood of the many predators and their prey, all of whom gather around the river later in the evening and drive back to Arusha. All meals included All drinks (Except for spirits/liquor)

5.0/5Hi everyone, My group of six friends and a nearly two-year-old baby and I went on a two-day safari in Tarangire and Ngorongoro National Parks. We saw incredible landscapes and animals. Special thanks to Gordon, our driver, and Daniel for taking care of everything. If you want to go on safari, Suricats Safari is the place to go!!! (automatic translation from French)

We had an absolutely incredible 2-day safari in Tanzania! A huge thank you to Gordon, who was an exceptional guide: passionate, funny, attentive, and always smiling. He truly made this experience even more special with his explanations and energy. Thank you also to Daniel for the perfect organization of the trip and his kindness from beginning to end. Everything was very well prepared, and we felt in good hands throughout the entire journey. The meals were excellent, plentiful, and always very welcome after the safaris. Tarangire National Park and Ngorongoro Crater are simply magnificent, with breathtaking landscapes and incredible animals to observe. An unforgettable experience that we wholeheartedly recommend! 🦁🌍✨ (automatic translation from French)

The organization was perfect, from the transfers to the food, etc. Gordon and Daniel were very, very kind; they took the time to show and explain everything to us. We saw a huge number of animals over two days. (automatic translation from French)

Just came back from an amazing 3 day safari through Serengeti and Ngorongoro national park. Our guide Felix was very knowledgeable about both flora and fauna within the parks. He answered all our questions and also told us many interesting stories throughout the day and during our meal breaks. He was accompanied by Jeremiah, our group's cook. The food was always delicious and plenty. I did not expect such a good quality given the simple infrastructure that they are working with. Highly recommend this safari.
