5-Day Best Camping Manyara Serengeti Ngorongoro Safari

5-Day Best Camping Manyara Serengeti:  This 5-day camping safari allows you to experience the highlights of the Northern Safari Circuit. You will experience breathtaking wildlife in the midst of some of the most diverse landscapes; monkeys in the forest, lions in trees, elephants amongst acacias, and a huge variety of animals inside a collapsed volcano. You will also visit Serengeti National Park, which is home to 3 million animals. These spectacular grass plains offer the best opportunity of viewing Cheetah, Leopard, and Lion.

Day 1: Arrival in Arusha

You will be picked up from the airport by a Lion King representative and conveyed to your accommodation in Arusha where you will overnight, relax, and prepare in anticipation of the adventures to come. Our partner lodge, Outpost Lodge, is an oasis of calm and aesthetic pleasure.

Main Destination: Arusha (City)

Accommodation:

Meals & Drinks: Breakfast (Lunch & dinner not included)

Drinking water (Other drinks not included)

Day 2: Lake Manyara National Park

In the morning you will be collected from your accomodation in Arusha by your personal Safari Guide. The drive to Lake Manyara National Park is on a good tarmac road, across the gently rolling Masai plains with scattered acacia trees. En route, you will pass many Masai in their colourful dress walking on the roadside, riding bicycles, herding their cattle and driving donkey carts.

The park’s namesake is a shallow, salt lake. It covers a large area of the park, flooding and drying with the seasons and is home to thousands of flamingos and over 500 other bird species. On your exploration of the park you will see monkeys, giraffe, zebra, wildebeest, buffalo, elephant and with some luck, lions lounging in the trees. After an extensive game drive, having experienced the various sights and sounds of the wilderness, you will leave the park and head to a nearby campsite, where you will enjoy dinner and an overnight stay.

Day 3: Serengeti National Park

After breakfast, we set off for the famous Serengeti National Park, home of the Great Migration. The views are spectacular as you drive up the crater highlands, stopping at the rim for a birds-eye view of the spectacular Ngorongoro Crater. Continuing on, spread out before you, is the vast Serengeti.

Serengeti meaning ‘endless plains’ in Maa, the Maasai tongue, and this 6,900 sq. mile (18,000 sq. km) park is inhabited by more than 2 million large animals including more than 1.5 million wildebeest and 250,000 zebra, as well as both Gazelle and Impala. Large predators including lions, cheetahs, leopards and hyenas are drawn to the area by this abundance of prey which migrate through the park. Many smaller animals like rock hyrax, bat eared foxes, mongoose, honey badger, jackals, monkeys, baboons and African hares also inhabit the area along with nearly 500 species of birds.

After your extensive game drive, you will arrive at your campsite and enjoy dinner and an overnight stay.

Day 4: Serengeti to Ngorongoro conservation area

After an early breakfast we head out for another game drive on the Serengeti. We may be afforded the opportunity to spot the “Big Five” – lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino and leopard – before embarking on our journey to the Ngorongoro Crater. The animals roam freely through the unfenced reserves offering us an uninterrupted game viewing experience. Arriving at the edge of the crater we have our first glimpse of what awaits us the following day – glistening streams, open grassland and a myriad number of animals. We spend the night at The Simba Campsite directly on the crater’s edge with the orange glow of sunset surrounding us as we drift off to sleep.

Day 5: Ngorongoro Crater and return to Arusha

Very early in the morning, after a quick stop at the viewing point high up on the Calderas edge, giving a birds eye view of this teeming land of beauty, we descend down onto the crater floor for a full day of wildlife viewing in one of the seven wonders of Africa and most incredible places on Earth. The Caldera, formed with the massive explosion of a volcano three million years ago, is home to 25,000 ungulates and makes a paradisiacal roaming ground for the big five along with over 500 species of bird. After a stop for a picnic lunch near the hippo lake, and more wildlife viewing in the afternoon, we drive up the steep road out of the crater, passing through different climatological zones before our return to Arusha.
