Explore Tanzania’s Wildlife During Calving Season

Day 1: Drive to Tarangire – Wildlife Viewing – Elephant Paradise – 135km and 2.5 hr. drive

In the early morning we drive to Tarangire. In this national park you have an excellent opportunity for game viewing. With a game viewing area roughly ten times the size of the nearby Manyara National Park and an exceptionally high game concentration from July to October, this seasonal safari park in Tanzania is a little gem on the northern safari route. Elephants are the main attraction with up to 3,000 animals living in the park during peak months. In the high season there are also many wildebeest and zebras, as well as giraffes, buffalo, Thompson’s gazelles, warthogs, larger and smaller kudu, eland, leopards and cheetahs. Tarangire is also one of the best bird watching destinations in Tanzania. Overnight in Eileen’s Trees Inn or Peak Hotel in Karatu, (B|L|D).

Day 2: Drive to the southern Serengeti region – into the endless Ndutu plain – 110km and 2 hr. drive

Early in the morning we drive to the Lake Ndutu region, of the southern Serengeti ecosystem. The Ndutu Plain is famous for its short grasses and excellent visibility for predators. Lake Ndutu, like most other Rift Valley lakes, is alkaline. It is a vital source of water and is visited by a wide variety of wildlife living here. During the migration season, herds come to calve, which attracts large numbers of predators such as lions, cheetahs, hyenas, caracals, jackals, and bat-eared foxes, to name a few. More and more young predators are sighted, which shows how valuable this sanctuary is to the survival of the species. After an unforgettable day, we make our way to our accommodation to dine and relax by the fire in the plain under the star-lit, endless African night sky. Overnight in Semi luxury camp or Lodge  (B|L|D).

Day 3: Game drive in the Ndutu region – Heard Migration

After a good breakfast, we will set off for a full day game drive in the Ndutu region. Most of the wildebeest migration usually takes place from December to April in the short grass plains. The area is usually heavily populated with elephants, giraffes, over four hundred species of birds, and a variety of other resident wildlife. We will visit the various landscapes of the region including swamps, forests, alkaline lakes and the world-famous Serengeti short grass plains. Herds of wildebeest and zebras will make our hearts beat faster during the trip. In February, several thousand calves are born here every day within 3 weeks. A unique spectacle of a great act of synchronized birth! The grass offers little protection, making the young easy prey for a wide variety of predators such as lions, hyenas, cheetahs and leopards. Wildebeest calves can walk minutes after they are born and are usually strong enough to keep up with the herd within 3 days. This unique natural spectacle will stay in your memory for a long time and possibly bring you to this wonderful country at least one more time. In rhe afternoo depart to Ngorongoro conservation area and Overnight in a Lodge or camp ensuite.  (B|L|D).

After wildlife tours, in the evening drive to the Crater rim, and overnight at One of Semi luxury camps or Lodges.

Day 5: Game drive in Ngorongoro Crater and drive to Arusha – 22 km and 40 min. drive

Today we dedicate ourselves to the Ngorongoro Crater, which offers a breathtakingly beautiful backdrop and is the best place in East Africa to see the ‘Big Five’ (elephant, rhinoceros, buffalo, lion and leopard). Any safari in northern Tanzania should ideally include a visit to the Ngorongoro Crater. It is one of the most beautiful nature safari locations in the world and an extraordinary place to meet people from the Maasai tribe. The Ngorongoro Crater and the surrounding highlands together form one of the most beautiful regions in Africa. Volcanic craters make a great backdrop to some of the most fertile and richest grazing land in Africa. The most famous crater of its kind is without question Ngorongoro, the largest intact volcanic caldera in the world and is home to the highest density of large game in Africa. Ngorongoro is rightly one of the most famous safari destinations on the continent. In the afternoon, we drive back to Arusha.  Overnight in Outpost Lodge or similar category, (B|L|D).
