11 Days Uganda Tanzania Flying SafariDay 9: Game Drives in Serengeti

We have another full day in this wonderful park, rising early to make the most of our time. Our guides will choose the best spotting locations for the time of year; say the Hippo pool watching the animals; look out for the big pride of lions, be in the middle of the migration or surrounded by wildebeest and zebras.

We journey from the wide-open plains to the kopjes: these volcanic rocky outcrops provide protection and shelter for a wide variety of animals and from the top, we can look out across the vast grasslands of the Serengeti. This diverse and interesting landscape will provide us with the ultimate in game viewing, we will hopefully see all of the plain games; elephants, giraffes, zebra, wildebeest, lions, and if you are lucky the elusive leopard and cheetah, as well as huge amounts of the interesting birdlife, from the elegant secretary birds to the flightless ostrich. We return to our special tented camp for the night.

Day 10: Drive to Ngorongoro

We start the day with an early morning game drive before heading to Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Ngorongoro is a special place in that it is a Conservation Area, not a National Park; the whole area is managed for both the animals and the local Maasai people who graze their cattle alongside the indigenous wildlife.

During the drive-in Ngorongoro, we have a chance to glimpse something of the Maasai way of life. After stopping at the entrance gate, where there is a chance to learn more about this fascinating volcanic landscape, we will drive around the rim of the Crater itself, and from here we can look down and see the herd of wildebeest or buffalos.

Finally, we descend into the crater. The crater walls provide a natural sanctuary for the animals, which means there is plenty to see: lions, elephants, buffalo, rhinos, and leopards (if you are lucky). The only animal you won’t see here is a giraffe, whose long legs are unable to cope with the steep sides of the crater. In the late afternoon, we travel to Karatu.

Day 11: Drive to Lake Manyara

Today we shall drive to Lake Manyara national park which is famous for the great sightings of tree-climbing lions, leopards, and much more wildlife in the pretty Tanzanian wilderness. Expect to have enough safari hours in the park, have lunch and transfer to Arusha for an overnight or flight to Zanzibar for a relaxing 3 to 5 days island holiday.
