These months are perfect for safaris and beach excursions, thanks to the pleasant climate and outstanding wildlife viewing. However, be prepared for elevated hotel prices and busier parks and attractions.
This time strikes a balance with moderate hotel rates and fewer crowds. While the weather can be unpredictable and some attractions may have limited access due to rain, you can still enjoy excellent wildlife sightings and a more tranquil safari experience.
Ideal for those on a budget, the low season offers the most affordable hotel rates and the least crowded parks. Although heavy rains can impact travel plans, they also create a lush and vibrant landscape that enhances the beauty of your surroundings.
Note: Availability for accommodation have to be checked before confirming safari and accepting payment. We advise guest to book months in advance to secure accommodation availability especially for peak seasons.
The Serengeti offers an optional hot-air balloon ride for USD $595 per person.
After an early breakfast this morning you’ll meet your guide. You will set off for Tarangire National Park, the park is situated in the southern section. The park is known for the large numbers of elephant that congregate here. There are substantial populations of wildebeest, zebra, impala, giraffe, eland and buffalo as well, and even a few localized and unusual species including the gerenuk and fringe-eared Oryx. The primary landscape is dry, open woodland scattered with hundreds of Africa’s prehistoric ‘Trees of Life’, the baobab tree. You’ll explore the park in your private vehicle, stopping for a picnic lunch during your game drive, and eventually head to your camp for the evening.
Olduvai Gorge is a UNESCO World Heritage and palaeo-anthropological site within the borders of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and was made famous by Louis and Mary Leaky, who conducted numerous digs here in the mid-20th century that unearthed early hominid fossils. These fossils have proven invaluable in furthering our understanding of early human evolution. The gorge is a steep-sided ravine about 48 kilometers (30 miles) long and fossils exposed in the sides cover a time span from about 2.1 million years ago to 15,000 years ago. There is a museum overlooking the gorge that helps guide you through the history of the site and the various fossils found here, and there are resident experts on site who you can chat with about current research. The northern circuit involves a lot of time spent in a vehicle, and we’ve found this day to be an interesting and refreshing change of pace mid-way through your trip. At the end of your visit at Olduvai Gorge, you’ll proceed to the great Serengeti.
The central Serengeti is where the southern short grass plains meet the acacia woodland, and the Ngare Nanyuki underground river creates pockets of permanent water that support year-round concentrations of wildlife. With easy prey available throughout the year there is plentiful big cat activity here and the dramatic rocky kopjes that dot the plains serve as excellent observation points for cheetah, lion and leopard. The Serengeti also hosts over 500 different bird species, including a variety of bustards, bright lilac-breasted rollers and shimmering starlings.
The northern section is an area of rolling grassland and tree-lined watercourses and is the most sought-after when the migration is passing through. Instinct drives two million wildebeest and zebra from the Serengeti to the fertile lands of the Masai Mara in Kenya to feed. To get there they must cross the Mara River, swollen by the floods of the rains and teeming with crocodile. The herds plunge into the river by the thousands, and those that survive the crossing must stay alert enough to avoid the big cats lurking on the far side. At some point the grasses will be exhausted and as birth time approaches, the herds will wander back to the southern Serengeti. Seeing the river crossings from the northern Serengeti is the ‘Holy Grail’ of the migration, and you need to plan your safari to be here at the right time.
The Ngorongoro Crater is the world’s largest volcanic caldera. It is almost 20 km wide, approximately 600 m deep and is known for its large variety of wildlife. In addition to viewing the Big Five (Rhinos, Leopards, Lions, Buffalo and Elephants) various springs attract animals such as Wildebeests, Gazelles, Reedbucks and countless bird species. You will stop to have lunch at a beautiful designated picnic area around noon. The Ngorongoro Crater, one of the most important protected areas in Africa, with a diverse eco-system, which boasts to be the home of 2-3 million wild animals.
The best time to be on a game drive in the Ngorongoro Crater is early. With regard to visitors, the crater is the quietest in the morning, and the wildlife is most active around dawn and dusk. Plentiful resources attracted animals to this bowl-shaped topography, creating a Petri dish of wildlife living in relatively close proximity to each other. There are dense populations of predators and herbivores, and the crater walls create a natural barrier causing unusually high numbers of predator-prey interactions.
This is you last day on with our time, depending on you next schedule or flight you will have a wide option to select. From cultural activities, City tours, Tanzanite tour, and many more. Later we shall bid a farewell for your departure to the next destination or home.
