Private Safari Tour
Start/Finish in Arusha – Option to start at Lake Manyara or Tarangire National Park
Enjoy this amazing safari in a customized pop-up roof 4×4 Safari Jeep that includes: Cooler Box, long-range high-frequency radio, Power Outlets AC 230V, First Aid Kit, and above all, a professional multi-lingual safari guide who will ensure you have an unforgettable safari experience.
Serengeti National Park is perhaps the most famous wildlife reserve in the world, with its horizons filled with wildebeests and zebras. The lion population here is the largest of any park in the region, if not all of Africa. But for sheer density of big cats, nothing beats the Ngorongoro Crater, the largest intact volcanic caldera on the planet.These are Tanzania’s finest parks and we give you a choice to begin this Africa safari adventure at either Lake Manyara or Tarangire National Parks. Manyara is a colorful jewel, filled with thousands of pink flamingoes settled on the shores of a cobalt blue lake. Tarangire is known for its elephants, lots of migrating wildlife, and few tourists. Take your pick of the parks.
We’ll visit these wild, colorful and memorable parks and all the wildlife that live upon these vital lands on this five-day Natural World Kenya Safaris exploration.
Arusha is safari-central for Tanzania – we’ll start here and head out to small but pretty Lake Manyara where we’ll be greeted with one of Africa’s most iconic sights – a dazzling canvas of innumerable pink flamingoes set upon the lake’s shoreline. Manyara is also home to the bizarre and curious, but very real tree-climbing lions.
On this safari, we offer a choice to skip Lake Manyara and instead visit Tarangire National Park, a rugged expanse that’s home to multitudes of elephants and has a yearly migration of over 250,000 animals. Yet, despite this rich display of wildlife, the park is only lightly touristed so you’ll feel a greater sense of connection.
The king of Tanzania’s parks comes next as we land upon the great plains of the Serengeti, home to millions of wildebeests, zebra, gazelle, eland, topi and so much more. It’s on these expansive fields that the massive herds of wildlife birth their young before embarking on the greatest movement of animals on the planet, known as the Great Migration.
On our way to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, we’ll come across the steep ravine of the Oldupai Gorge, the most profound anthropological site in the world. Here, an ancient, fossilized record of early man has been discovered leading to great insights into our pre-historic development.
At the top of the Ngorongoro Crater, we’ll look out over an isolated world of habitats and wildlife thriving on the extinct volcano’s floor. Descending the steep caldera walls in our 4 x 4 Jeep, we’ll come upon rich savannahs, marshes, lakes, and woods holding dense populations of lions, leopards, elephants, black rhinos, monkeys, and pink flamingoes. Separated from the rest of Africa, this rich ecosystem awaits a full day of discovery of its depth and breadth.
Then, with this busy and immersive safari completed, we’ll head full circle, back to Arusha.
Your 5-day Lake Manyara/Serengeti/Ngorongoro safari includes all ground transportation, park entrance fees, game drives, accommodations, and meals.
Natural World Kenya Safaris always offers you the most in choice and flexibility. You can even customize the cost of your safari, depending on your choice of season, the number of travelers in your party, and your pick of accommodation. Depending on your style or budget, choose from economy, comfort, or luxury safari lodges or tented camps.
But it’s important to know… whatever level of accommodation you choose, your actual safari adventure with us will always be at our highest standards.
Your Guide. For your 5 – day journey you’ll be guided, hosted, and looked after by your own experienced driver/guide.
Transportation to the parks and game viewing will be in a private 4 x 4 Land Cruiser Jeep – this vehicle is the safari standard with its higher seating and rugged all-wheel drive. Always included on our tours, the Land Cruiser Jeep is just another example of the value we offer you at Natural World Kenya Safaris.
Does reading about Tanzania’s exciting parks get your imagination fired up? Do you see yourself visiting other colorful wildlife reserves around the country? Even if these parks are not scheduled for your tour, we can customize any of our safaris to include the special places you have in mind.
For instance, you can substitute Lake Manyara at the start of your safari, going to Tarangire National Park instead.
Just talk to one of our travel experts – they’ll be happy to work with you and include your safari ideas, or some of their own into your Tanzania adventure. Just give us a call – at Natural World Kenya Safaris, your journey begins when you say ‘Hello’.

Tour Highlights:
Daily Itinerary
Arusha – Lake Manyara
2 ½ Hour Drive
7:30 am Your safari begins at your hotel, residence, or place of your choosing when your Natural World Kenya Safaris driver/guide comes to pick you up in a 4 x 4 Land Cruiser Jeep.
Hop aboard and we’ll take off through the Maasai country, passing local farms and Maasai herders tending to their cattle as we proceed to Lake Manyara Park.
Lake Manyara – Serengeti
4 Hour Drive
Let’s rise with the sun and listen to the birdsong as we take in the early morning light softly dappling the park. This is a wonderful time to appreciate the gentle stirrings of nature all about. We’ll breakfast and then head out to the great Serengeti.
We’ll make stops along our route to relax and enjoy a picnic lunch.
And then, we’ll find ourselves in the massive reaches of the world-famous Serengeti. The almost treeless plains are home to uncountable wildebeest, zebra, gazelle, impala, and vast herds of buffalo filling these grasslands out to the horizon.
Our second safari evening will be spent relaxing at our Serengeti lodge or tented camp.
Full-Day at the Serengeti
Everything about the Serengeti is immense and impressive – it’s been called one of the “Seven Natural Wonders of Africa”. Even the name Serengeti comes from the Maasai word “siringet” meaning “endless plains”.
And as you take your game drives throughout the day over these “endless plains”, you’ll be in awe of the massive amount of wildlife populating this vast expanse – the greatest number of big cats, especially lions of any spot in Africa.
We’ll enjoy a lunch break and some downtime before tracking for more predators and smaller game as well, like monkey, baboon, wild dog, and even the honey badger.
Overhead, we’ll be entertained by an endless sky of over 500 bird species. The park does contain some forest and marsh areas where we’ll look for hippo and crocodile in its rivers.
Come evening, we’ll spend our final night at our Serengeti accommodation.
Serengeti – Ngorongoro
3 Hour Drive
The early morning sun will light up the vast plains and its multitudes of predators and grazers emerging from the night. We’ll take in this glorious scene before heading off to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.
En route, we’ll stop at the incredible Oldupai Gorge, site of a treasure trove of fossilized artifacts from early man’s development in this area.
And then we arrive at the rim of Ngorongoro – the world’s largest intact volcanic caldera. We’ll descend into the crater, a self-contained ecosystem teeming with over 25,000 animals.
We’ll spend the day exploring this thriving world of wildlife cut off from the rest of Africa. Lions, leopards, black rhinos, elephants, monkeys, antelope, and even pink flamingoes occupy this special place.
Then, toward evening, we’ll head back up the volcano’s wall and marvel at a stunning sunset lighting up the crater’s rim.
Our final safari evening will be at our Ngorongoro accommodation.
Ngorongoro – Arusha
3 ½ Hour Drive
If we get up early we can catch another marvel at the crater’s rim – an amazing sunrise.
And then we’re off for our trip back to Arusha. We’ll take some rest stops and enjoy lunch along the way.
We’ll bring you back to your hotel, residence, or place of your choosing.
The best of Tanzania’s parks – Manyara or Tarangire, plus Serengeti and Ngorongoro – you have seen wildlife and landscapes that few have been lucky enough to experience. We hope you’ve enjoyed this rich journey and will think of Natural World Kenya Safaris when you’re ready to take your next safari. We thank you for your time, your trust, and your sense of adventure.
