Tanzania Budget Safari
4 Days Budget Safari Itinerary
OVERVIEW
The 4 Days Tanzania Budget Camping Safari allows you to tour the northern circuit on a shoe string budget but still be able to experience the very best of flora and fauna. Serengeti is famous for its exceptional population of lions, leopards, cheetahs, and its annual migration of zebra and wildebeest, Lake Manyara bests for the big four and is also a great bird’s sanctuary.
DAY 1: Lake Manyara National Park
Depart Arusha for Lake Manyara National Park. Arrive at the lodge by lunchtime. Lunch and afternoon game drive follows in this very scenic park with fabulous views over the valley to the lake below. Lake Manyara National Park is small, beautiful and richly diverse; its manageable size makes it possible to see virtually every highlight in a day, from its pods of hippos wallowing in the lake alongside the pink fluttering of a million flamingos, to its rich wildlife and perhaps some of the park’s famous tree-lounging lions. Overnight at Lake Manyara Budget camping safari accommodation. Upgrade to Mid-range lodges/ tented camps are available at an extra cost.
DAY 2: Ngorongoro Crater
After breakfast, we’re off on the next leg of our journey with an en-route game drive to Ngorongoro crater, the eighth wonder of the natural world. Along the way, we drive through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area with lunch en-route a region created to accommodate the grazing needs of the Masai people and a unique test of the idea that humans leading a pastoral lifestyle can coexist with wildlife. We arrive at Ngorongoro by evening from around 16:00 hrs at the camp, situated on the rim of the crater. Check into your camp and enjoy the breathtaking atmosphere of the park. This magnificent natural amphitheater contains the largest concentration of animals in all of Africa. Pride of lion, black rhino, and elephant share this land with the legendary Masai tribesmen.
DAY 3: Serengeti National Park
Game is easily spotted and can be approached quite closely. We spend a splendid morning on the floor of the crater observing wildlife in this ageless World Heritage Site and later exiting to Serengeti National Park. En route, we stop at Olduvai Gorge, the “cradle of mankind,” where the Leakey family uncovered the fossil of Homo habilis, who lived 1.75 million years ago. Arriving at our lodge/ camp in time for lunch, we find ourselves deep in the heart of this famous migration corridor. A large pride of lions lazes in the long grasses, plentiful families of elephants feed on acacia bark and trumpet to each other across the plains, while giraffes, gazelles, monkeys, eland, and the whole range of African wildlife present themselves in awe-inspiring numbers. Overnight at Serengeti Seronera campsite. Possible upgrade available. With its wide-open spaces, bright blue skies, and creature-filled landscape in the afternoon, we will discover why the fabled Serengeti typifies the dream of “Old Africa.”
