  1. Day 1 Moshi/Arusha to Lake Manyara National Park

    In the morning, you will be picked up at your hotel to start your safari to Lake Manyara National Park. Established in 1960, the small Lake Manyara National Park is a home to tree climbing lions, elephants and large troops of baboons and monkeys. The park is dominated by the shallow, alkaline lake and boasts with diverse habitats like grassy plains, escarpment and forest. Here hundreds of bird species gather most notable, thousands of pink flamingos.

    In addition to the striking scenery you have a chance to see giraffes, buffaloes, hippos, wildebeests and the comical warthogs. The safari vehicle has an open roof and is the ideal viewing platform to appreciate the nature and animals of this park. In the afternoon, you will have your picnic lunch before you leave the park and travel to the lodge, where you will spend the night.

  2. Day 2 Lake Manyara Area to Serengeti National Park

    Take an early drive towards the fertile crater highlands immediately after your breakfast and get mesmerized with the beauty of the crop fields that grow wheat, corn and coffee. At mid-day, you will reach the plains of the Serengeti, the one of the largest National parks in Tanzania. Serengeti has a diversity of landscapes including short grass plains, savannah, thick bush, swamps and lakes and it is famous for the yearly migration when hundreds to thousands of wildebeest and zebras trek to find fresh grass and water. On your way to your accommodation you will understand, where the word Serengeti (plains in the language of the Maasai) comes from. In the early evening, you will reach the lodge, where you will spend the night.

  3. Day 3 Serengeti National Park

    The whole day will be spent on a game drive in the Serengeti National Park. During the short rainy season in November and December the herds move from the hills in the north to the plains in the south while during the longer rainy season from April to June they return back up north. This circle of life is determined by the rainfalls and locations of the herds might vary from year to year but your guide will know where to find the animals and where to see them best. A visit to the Serengeti Visitor Centre is also possible. Here you can learn more about the history of the park and the research that is done by the Frankfurter Zoological Society. You will spend another night at the lodge in the park.

  4. Day 4 Serengeti National Park to Ngorongoro Conservation Area

    After breakfast, you will continue your safari in Serengeti. In the Seronera Valley you might be lucky to see predators hunt as animals gather at the waters during the dry season. After lunch at a picnic spot you will slowly drive in the direction of Ngorongoro Crater. As soon as you reach the crater you will have a superb view of the caldera. This approximate 20km wide crater is part of an UNESCO World Heritage Site and is home to over 20,000 animals. You will stay at the lodge possibly (depends on availability) on the crater rim from where you will be able to enjoy an incredible sunset.

  5. Day 5 Ngorongoro Crater to Moshi/Arusha

    Rise and shine! Take our breakfast and drive down in the steep path of world’s greatest caldera” Ngorongoro Crater” the largest, unbroken and unfolded caldera in the world. The crater is not only scenically beautiful, rather it houses an unbelievable diversity of wildlife. The rare black rhino and other members of the “Big Five” – lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino and leopard. The crater is also a home to other animals that include hyenas, waterbucks, bushbucks, eland and more than 500 bird species. After an extensive game drive and a picnic lunch you will leave the caldera in the afternoon for Moshi/Arusha.

Tanzania Safari Accommodations

Jas Expeditions offer 4 division of safari; named as super luxury lodges/camps safari, luxury lodges/camps safari, mid-range lodges/camps safari as well as basic camping safari.

BASIC CAMPING SAFARI

Budget camping safari is the ideal way for those who like to “rough it” as we provide mostly bivouac pop-up tents for accommodation whereby mattresses are laid on the sewn-in ground sheet. The tents are spacious enough for two people and they have a mesh on each window to keep off insects. Basic washroom facilities are available in the public campsites, and are shared by everyone at the campsite. Campsites are the most basic of accommodations in terms of facilities and amenities. However, out here you will most likely have the most authentic experience and get as close to nature as nowhere else.

Lodge Accommodation

 

There are numerous Tanzania National Park such as Serengeti, Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and more. The best safaris are those which combine all kinds of safari adventures such as enjoying at various Tanzania Beaches, exploring Tanzania Culture, hiking the tallest peaks of Africa, and taking pleasure in Solo Safari Tanzania.

If you have enough amount of time we suggest you combine a safari or two and all the activities mentioned above to have a fantastic time in Africa. Go on Zanzibar Beach Holidays; explore the Tanzania Border Countries such as Kenya, Rwanda, and more!

A Tanzania Safari can be done in 10 days or 2 days as well depending on the time you have to spend and the locations you wish to visit on your Safari. The more time you spend on the safari the better experience you are going to have. Tanzania Capital has developed into a mini-Dubai and exploring the city is fun.

With diversified Tanzania Demographics that hosts a mix of folklore and traditions, there are numerous opportunities to explore in the country. So take your time and buy longer itineraries and Tanzania Safari Packages to have enjoyed your safari to the fullest.

Many travelers constantly worry about their Tanzania Travel Safety but there is nothing to worry about. With our guided tours and Tanzania Travel Advice you will be enjoying the safest and the most secure safari in the country.

However, we advise you to not carry expensive belongings, such as laptops, important travel documents, cash, or other electronic items, and keep them safe at your stays and accommodations.

Apart from this we also suggest you not walk alone in unknown areas especially during the dark in Tanzania. It is suggested to always accompany your safari guides with you wherever you wish to go to the towns and cities in Tanzania.

You can book your safari with utmost ease with Jerry Tanzania Tours. What we suggest you initially do is plan the various Things To Do In Tanzania and the locations you wish to visit in the country. Give us a call and we will assist you in preparing the best-customized itinerary for Tanzania as per your needs. You need to make a 30% payment to save your bookings and make the complete payment before 120 days of your safari date.

After this, you need to book your international flight tickets at least 6-9 months before your safari schedule dates. After this, you need to start applying for your Tanzania Visa on the Tanzania Embassy websites or visit their offices in your country. This is followed by buying your travel insurance and takes the necessary vaccinations before your travel.

On your Tanzania Safari, we suggest you avoid black and dark blue clothing as both colors attract tsetse flies. We also suggest you leave bright-white items at home. As safari parks are often dusty it is recommended that you avoid wearing white clothes as they may get dingy. Take comfortable safari clothing in neutral colors and light fabrics. Wear khaki colors as they merge well with the surrounding colors in safari.

Watching a zebra or giraffe grazing near your campsite or an antelope hiding in the bushes near your mobile camp isn’t anything surprising. There are great opportunities for Tanzania Wildlife in the national parks. While traveling with your kids, be careful near the campsite too. Most of the campsites are inside the national parks; though it’s a mostly animal-free area you can expect some of the grazers near your accommodation.

Yes, it is. We encourage the parents who are looking for a good place for planning a family vacation to bring their kids in safari. There can’t be a better place for your kids to be on a vacation. Being close to nature and wildlife they can learn a lot more than reading about them in text-books. Safari vacation is safe for the children completely. We can choose child-friendly accommodations. This could mean anything from having an extraordinary pool, to gigantic rooms resting up to 4 people. We can also arrange some great activities for your children to enjoy at the lodges.

Yes, Completely. We give unlimited refreshments in our safari vehicle including packaged drinking water, your favored soda pops, juice, household brew, French-press coffee, and tea. All our safari vehicles are outfitted with a little cooler to keep your beverages chilled for you to appreciate amid your safari.
