6 Days Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater Safari From Zanzibar -Overview
As a well-experienced tour operator, we are delighted to guide you through an unforgettable 6-day safari adventure encompassing the diverse and iconic landscapes of Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara National Park, Serengeti National Park, and Ngorongoro Crater.
This overview will provide essential details on each destination, including their locations, significance, climate, and the best times to visit.
Tarangire National Park
Tarangire National Park is located in northern Tanzania, approximately 120 kilometers southwest of Arusha.
From Zanzibar, you will take a domestic flight to Arusha, followed by a scenic drive of about two hours to reach the park.
Tarangire is renowned for its vast herds of elephants, majestic baobab trees, and the seasonal migration of wildebeest, zebras, and antelope.
The park’s diverse habitats support a rich variety of wildlife, making it a prime safari destination.
The park experiences a tropical climate with distinct wet and dry seasons.
The best time to visit is during the dry season, from June to October, when wildlife congregates around the Tarangire River, making game viewing easier and more rewarding.
Lake Manyara National Park
Lake Manyara National Park is situated at the base of the Rift Valley escarpment, about 125 kilometers west of Arusha.
From Tarangire, it’s a short drive of approximately one and a half hours to reach the park.
Lake Manyara is celebrated for its stunning soda lake, which attracts thousands of flamingos and other bird species.
The park is also known for its tree-climbing lions, diverse ecosystems, and dramatic scenery.
The climate is tropical, with the wet season occurring from November to May and the dry season from June to October.
While the dry season offers excellent wildlife viewing, the wet season brings lush landscapes and abundant birdlife, making it an ideal time for birdwatchers.
Serengeti National Park
Serengeti National Park is located in northwestern Tanzania, extending to the Kenyan border.
From Lake Manyara, you will drive or fly to the Serengeti, with the drive taking about four to five hours.
The Serengeti is world-famous for its annual wildebeest migration, one of the most spectacular wildlife events on the planet.
The park’s vast plains are home to a diverse array of wildlife, including the Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino).
The Serengeti has a predominantly dry climate with short and long rainy seasons.
The best times to visit are from December to March, when the migration is in the southern Serengeti, and from June to October, during the dry season, when animals gather around water sources.
Ngorongoro Crater
Ngorongoro Crater is located in northern Tanzania, about 180 kilometers west of Arusha.
From the Serengeti, it’s a scenic drive of approximately three to four hours to reach the crater.
The Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is the world’s largest inactive volcanic caldera. It boasts unparalleled wildlife diversity, including a high density of lions, and is one of the best places to see the endangered black rhino.
The crater experiences a temperate climate with temperatures remaining relatively cool throughout the year.
The best time to visit is during the dry season from June to October, offering excellent game viewing conditions.
