After breakfast, drive to Tarangire National Park, a beautiful park known for large elephant herds, ancient baobab trees, and open savannah landscapes. Enjoy a full game drive along the Tarangire River, where animals gather for water, especially during the dry season. You may see elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, buffalo, lions, and many bird species before continuing to your lodge or camp for dinner and overnight.

Today you visit Lake Manyara National Park, a scenic park located below the Great Rift Valley escarpment. The park offers groundwater forests, open plains, lake views, and excellent birdlife. During the game drive, look for baboons, monkeys, elephants, giraffes, hippos, buffalo, and flamingos along the lake shore when conditions are favorable. After the game drive, return to your lodge for dinner and overnight.

After breakfast, drive through the Ngorongoro highlands toward Serengeti National Park. The route gives beautiful views of rural landscapes, crater highlands, and open plains as you enter one of Africa’s most famous wildlife areas. Enjoy an en-route game drive as the landscape opens into the Serengeti. Watch for lions, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, and gazelles before arriving at your camp for dinner and overnight.

Spend a full day exploring Serengeti National Park. Your guide will plan the route based on wildlife movement and recent sightings. The Serengeti is famous for big cats, large herbivore herds, open plains, kopjes, and dramatic predator-prey interactions. This full-day game drive gives you more time for photography, animal tracking, and quiet observation in one of the world’s greatest safari destinations.

Enjoy another full day in Serengeti National Park, allowing deeper exploration of different areas depending on the season. You may follow migration routes, search for leopards in riverine areas, watch lions around kopjes, or visit productive plains where cheetahs and hyenas are often seen. Extra time in the Serengeti improves your chances of seeing varied wildlife behavior and capturing strong safari moments.

After breakfast, enjoy a final Serengeti game drive as you travel toward the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. The day offers more chances to see wildlife on the open plains before leaving the Serengeti. Continue toward the crater highlands, where the scenery changes into green slopes and volcanic landscapes. Arrive near Ngorongoro for dinner and overnight, ready for the crater descent the next morning.

Descend into Ngorongoro Crater for a memorable game drive inside one of Africa’s most concentrated wildlife areas. The crater floor supports lions, elephants, buffalo, zebras, wildebeest, hippos, hyenas, and, with luck, the rare black rhino. Enjoy a picnic lunch inside the crater before continuing your game drive. Later, ascend the crater wall and return to your lodge for dinner and overnight.

After breakfast, drive back to Arusha. Depending on your schedule, you may be transferred to Arusha Airport, Kilimanjaro International Airport, or your hotel. This marks the end of your 9 Days Northern Circuit Safari Tanzania with Serengeti Wild Tours.
