5-Day Tanzania Luxury Safari with Balloon in Serengeti

After enjoying an early breakfast, a journey towards one of the most famous national parks in the world, the Serengeti, will begin. Although the drive is long, the scenery is truly spectacular and is sure to be an unforgettable experience for anyone visiting the park for the first time. As the journey progresses deeper into the Serengeti, the name, which means "endless plains" in the local language, becomes more apparent.

Covering an area of 6,900 square miles (18,000 square kilometres), the majority of the park is comprised of vast, open plains that seem to stretch on forever. The park is home to the great migration of over 2 million wildebeests, hundreds of thousands of zebras, and numerous species of antelope. The Serengeti is also the perfect place to spot large predators such as lions, cheetahs, leopards, and hyenas. Many famous television scenes, such as the river crossings, have been filmed here.

After the game drive, a night will be spent at Ole Serai Luxury Camp Turner Springs in Serengeti.

Embark on an early morning balloon safari in Serengeti National Park, followed by a game drive. Journey through Africa's top park, taking in breathtaking views along the way. Enjoy a scenic game drive as we make our way to the park, stopping for a picnic lunch at the Serengeti Naabi gate. Spend the entire day on a game drive in the park, then proceed to the accommodation within the park for dinner and an overnight stay.

The journey towards the Ngorongoro Crater for a game drive will begin early in the morning from the lodge. The crater is the largest unbroken caldera in the world and one of the new 7 Natural Wonders of Africa. It supports a vast variety of animals, including herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, eland, warthog, hippo, and giant African elephant. It has a dense population of predators which include lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs, and the ever-elusive leopard, which sometimes requires a trained eye to spot. Additionally, a large number of flamingos, hippos, and other waterbirds can usually be seen here.

During the afternoon, a break will be taken to enjoy the packed lunch at the Hippo Pool picnic site. After the game drive, the journey will proceed to Karatu, where the night will be spent at Lake Manyara Kilimamoja Lodge

After breakfast, there will be some free time to explore the farms in Karatu and Mto wa Mbu, as well as visit some local markets. Later, the trip will proceed to Arusha with a picnic lunch.

Visitors will have the option to explore one of the biggest curious shops in Karatu and pick out some souvenirs for their family and friends back home. Finally, the trip will end with a drop-off in Arusha.
