OVER VIEW
Embark on an extraordinary journey exploring Tarangire, Serengeti, Lake Manyara, Lake Natron, and the magnificent Ngorongoro Crater. Lake Natron, a soda lake nestled beneath Tanzania's only active volcano, Ol Doinyo Lengai, awaits with its abundant wildlife, historical significance, and vibrant culture.
This safari is perfect for nature enthusiasts, couples, families, and friends traveling together. While the adventure can be enjoyed throughout the year, it's advisable to avoid visiting Lake Natron during the rainy season due to challenging road conditions.
Immerse yourself in thrilling game drives across these remarkable national parks in northern Tanzania, creating unforgettable memories. Please note that during your time in Serengeti National Park, you have the option to enhance your African safari experience by indulging in additional activities such as balloon safaris (at an extra cost). Alternatively, you can choose to embark on a captivating night game drive in either Tarangire National Park or Lake Manyara.
We will pick you up from your hotel at 7:30am and after being familiar to the guide, chef & other clients we will drive to Tarangire national park (2hr drive) famous for its diverse landscape.
After your breakfast, you will start your trip to Lake Natron. The route takes you through the cultural home of the Maasai. On the way, you will pass Engaruka, an archaeological site of a Stone-age settlement, as well as majestic Ondonyo Lengai, the only active volcano in the Great Rift Valley.
Lake Natron will fascinate you with its colors varying from pink, lime green, and red, this due to the concentration of minerals. Lake Natron is a breeding site to 75% of the world's lesser flamingos.
At midnight, wake up for the hike towards the ol donyo lengai mountain hike for a total of 6 hours
Dinner and overnight at Lake Natron Tented Camp.
