We can't overemphasize how incredible is the experience of sleeping in a normal camping tent, over the savanna, under the starry sky and hearing wild animals during the night. Of course, it's also a great opportunity to do a life-changing safari while keeping a low budget..
Adventure is the name associated with this style of doing Safaris. Coming close to nature is the sense so achieved, it is fascinating, it is awe-inspiring, and it is moving.
“Welcome to Tanzania”.
This 4 Days Safari Tour will take you through the Northern Safari Circuit in Tanzania. Primarily, you will be visiting Serengeti National Park, Lake Manyara National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater.
A visit to the Ngorongoro Crater is an experience of a lifetime. Few places have wildlife densities and variety at this level. It is not unusual to see the Big Five in one day and all this in the most amazing setting with a backdrop of the 600m/1968ft high crater wall.
Lake Manyara National Park provides the perfect introduction to Tanzania’s birdlife. More than 400 species have been recorded, and even a first-time visitor to Africa might reasonably expect to observe 100 of these in one day. Highlights include thousands of pink-hued flamingos on their perpetual migration, as well as other large water birds such as pelicans, cormorants and storks.
There is more to Serengeti than large mammals. Gaudy agama lizards and rock hyraxes scuffle around the surfaces of the park’s isolated granite kopjes. A full 100 varieties of dung beetle have been recorded, as have 500-plus bird species, ranging from the outsized ostrich and bizarre secretary bird of the open grassland to the black eagles that soar effortlessly above the Lobo Hills.
You will be served daily meals during this safari. To avoid health problems, we use only bottled water, the vehicles always come stocked with plenty of bottled water to ensure you remain hydrated while on safari.
If you have special dietary requirements, it's a good idea to communicate with us when making a reservation
