You will be briefed about the safari and the rental 4×4 car before you are flagged off on your Tanzania safari adventure in Northern Tanzania.

From Arusha or Kilimanjaro you leave Arusha and drive towards the dry plains of Tarangire famous for its large elephant herds and huge baobab trees. Tarangire is an often overlooked wildlife gem by most visitors to Tanzania. Tarangire has wonderful game viewing opportunities especially during the dry season months of June to November. On afternoon game drives in Tarangire National Park, be assured of spotting a great number of elephants, zebras, wildebeest, antelopes and a great number of predators, including Tarangire’s famous tree-climbing lions similar to those of the Ishasha Sector in Queen Elizabeth National Park in Uganda.

Day 2. Lake Manyara

On the 2^nd day of this wonderful Tanzania self drive or guided safari, we make an early start from Tarangire as we make the short drive to Lake Manyara National Park.

Lake Manyara is famed for its beauty, stunning scenery and marvellous game viewing opportunities. You will find the largest troops of baboons you can expect to find anywhere else in Africa. Lake Manyara is host to thousands of flamingos.

Day 3. Serengeti

Serengeti and Ngorongoro Safari

Today you depart from Lake Manyara and self drive to the beautiful Serengeti plains where you spend 3 days exploring this safari gem of Tanzania. For self drive clients, we recommend that you drive slowly on the bad roads in Serengeti as we have known a great number of vehicles overturning in this area due to over speeding on fairly tricky roads especially when it rains. If you have one of our driver guides, you’ll be in safe company as they have many years’ experience of guiding safaris in Tanzania, know the hot spots plus the dos and don’ts of driving in Tanzania.

The drive from Lake Manyara to Serengeti is rather a pleasant one through awesome scenery. You will get a chance for game drives enroute  to the Serengeti. Serengeti is teeming with wildlife and game.

With several parks and migratory routes, you will see animals, birds, wildlife  where you least expect them. An afternoon or evening  game self drive through the Serengeti almost  usually reveals a wealth of animal and bird species. This is, after all, the Serengeti – the most celebrated game reserve in the world. It is Tanzania’s premier safari destination and for good reason. It has the big five (elephant, lion, leopard, buffalo and rhino) plus almost all of the large game species found throughout Tanzania.

Almost two million animals march across the plains of East Africa from the Masai Mara down to the Serengeti and back again.
