After, the guide will take you to Arusha National park which is at an altitude of 1,280-4,217m, size:552km2. This park is usually less busy than parks like Serengeti since it doesn’t offer a chance of seeing the Big Five but it is still beautiful and it has many great birdwatching opportunities. It is great for climbing and it is amazing if you want to be somewhere with smaller crowds but amazing scenery. You can see Ngurudoto Crater, which is also known as Little Ngorongoro. The park is known more for its scenery than its animals. However, you can easily spot buffalos, giraffes, antelopes, flamingos, black and white Columbus monkeys as well as a vast number of different bird species.

The park is also home to buffaloes, zebras and wildebeest which are always closely followed by a range of predators such as lions. Leopards are seen every now and again but cheetahs are rarely spotted. From the open roof of the safari vehicle you will be able to take in the landscape and watch the animals.

The numbers are astonishing: over 1.2 million wildebeest and 300,000 zebras along with topis and other gazelles move in a constant cycle through the Serengeti-Mara ecosystem in search of nutritious grass and water. Guided by instinct, each wildebeest will cover 800 to 1,000 km on its individual journey along age-old migration routes and hungry predators make sure only the strongest survive, in what is known as ‘the greatest show on Earth.’ You will have lunch at Mara River while waiting for the wildebeest to cross Mara River.

DAY 4: NGORONGORO CRATER After breakfast we will depart to Ngorongoro. Ngorongoro Conservation Area is named after the Ngorongoro crater, a large volcanic caldera within the area. The crater rim is over 2,200 meters high and the crater area has its own climate. Then we descend over 600 meters into the crater to look at wildlife for half the day. Supported by a year round supply of water and animal food, the Ngorongoro National Park hosts a vast variety of animals, which include herds of wildebeest, zebras, buffalos, elands, warthogs, hippos, and giant African elephants. Another popular part of this picturesque national park is its dense population of predators, which include lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs and the ever-elusive leopard, which sometimes requires a trained eye to spot. We will visit Lake Magadi, a large but shallow alkaline lake in the southwestern corner, which is one of the main attractions of the crater. A large number of flamingos, hippos and other water birds can usually been seen here. In the afternoon, you will have a hot lunch outdoors, and then we will start ascending from the crater and head to Moshi for dinner and an overnight stay.

Board: meals during safari (with hot lunch picnic hamper)

If you have any special requests, we can always customise the safari according to what you want. You can choose multiple activities for your safari such as a hot air balloon safari, sailing in a kayak, a safari with a visit to a Maasai village, a treetop walkway in Lake Manyara, a multiple day stay in the village of the Hadzabe tribe, a visit to Lake Manyara with the option of climbling the Ol Donyo Lengai volcano. We can organise nearly anything you want. We can also organise trips to other park in Tanzania that aren’t in our offer. We don’t mention them due to their distance from Moshi.

Other things that you can change are the length of your stay in a park and if you sleep directly in the park or just near it. During longer safaris, you can also pick days for relaxation.

General Safari Information

Your safari guide

Our safari guides are all well experienced in the field and passionate about showing you the amazing wildlife and culture Tanzania has to offer. All are fluent in English, and if you have a special language request just let us know as many will also have an additional language (e.g. French, Spanish, German). They are also well trained in 4×4 driving so will be able to get you anywhere on the varying road qualities we have here! Please feel free to ask your guide any questions you may have about the wildlife, culture or trip along the way.

Your meals & drinks

All meals will be provided by the lodges you are staying at- if you are leaving on a game drive during the day then a hamper with lunch or lunchbox will be provided. Alcoholic beverages will be available for purchase at most lodges. We will provide mineral water in the car each day.

Transport

4×4 Safari Land cruiser with 7 seats. Our safari vehicles have been specifically modified for wildlife viewing, with a pop top roof which will be open during all game drives and sliding windows. Our cars are equipped with a radio system for guide communication with base and park rangers. We carry at least one pair of binoculars in each vehicle. Although we do everything within our powers to ensure your maximum comfort, the roads in Tanzania can vary greatly in quality from newly tarmaced to completely rough and muddy or dusty (depending on rainy or dry season!). Driving times can be long, even to cover what may seem like relatively short distances. Although we regularly maintain our vehicles (with a check-up in the garage after every safari) they can and do sometimes pop a tyre or breakdown. Our guides are well trained with lots of experience in car mechanics and 98% of the time can fix the issue themselves and you’ll be off spotting zebras again in less than 20 minutes! Please be patient if your car encounters a mechanical issue.

Accommodation

We’ve searched high and low to select some of the best lodges within the Northern Circuit. We like to use a mixture of traditional lodges as well as luxury permanent tented camps (to get you right amongst the nature!). For more details on the specific lodges for your safari please refer to your itinerary. *Where specific lodges are named, if between time of quotation and booking confirmation the lodge specified may be fully booked we will ensure to find a lodge of a similar or higher quality. You will be advised of this change as soon as possible. If you choose to upgrade to a different lodge, you will be responsible to pay the difference in price.

What to wear

  • Warm fleece/woollen jumper
  • Waterproof jacket/windbreaker
  • T-shirts (we recommend breathable and lightweight fabrics)
  • Long-sleeved shirt/sweater for the cooler mornings and evenings
  • long, lightweight hiking trousers
  • Shorts
  • Comfortable pair of sports shoes
  • One pair of slip on/ sports sandals
  • Sun hat/bandana and lightweight scarf (it can get quite dusty on some roads so will be handy to cover yourself!)
  • Sunglasses
  • Watch or alarm clock
  • Camera, memory card and extra batteries
  • Extra binoculars (optional)
  • Plug adaptor
  • Money belt
  • Personal first aid kit

  • To carry your belongings we recommend a soft- suitcase or travel backpack. If you have extra items and will be returning to Moshi after the safari we can arrange to leave excess luggage at your hotel/the office to ensure there is more room in the safari vehicle.

Tipping

A great area of confusion and unease for many tourists, tipping is a generally expected and highly appreciated (although not compulsory) part of your safari tour. It is a great way of saying ‘thank you’ to those that have helped you to have a wonderful experience here. Tips should be given at the end of your safari when saying your goodbyes. If you are part of a group safari it is best to try to discuss with everyone beforehand how you wish to do the tipping. To help you feel at ease we have provided a general guide below but please remember that tipping is a way of you showing your gratitude for your safari staff and is up to you! The guidelines given below are for a group amount, not individually. Guide: 20-25 USD/ day.

A $1 gratuity to restaurant staff per meal (lunch/dinner), $1 to hotels/lodges porters per bag upon arrival and departure and $2-3 to transfer drivers per transfer is also appreciated. A $5-10 per person to Balloon safari pilot if taking the optional Hot Air Balloon Safari tour. As always, gratuities are an individual expression of thanks and should be based on the level of service provided.
