On this 6-day midrange safari we will cover the 4 most popular destinations in Tanzania – Ndutu (2 nights), Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire & Manyara. With our experienced driver guides, it will be a trip of a lifetime! According to the last few years pattern, the possibility of sighting the migration is in the Ndutu region from last week of December to March. Hence, this tour is recommended for the tour date between last week of December and beginning of April. You will sleep in midrange hotels or lodges.

Your safari will begin by 8AM in the morning with a pick up from your hotel in Karatu and head towards the Ndutu region. A few minutes commencing the drive, you will enter the Ngorongoro Conservation Area (NCA) where you will notice the landscape changing from hilly forests to plain and green grasslands. Once you reach Ndutu you will begin a half day game drive with a convenient stop for your picnic lunch. Sweeping grasslands cover the region which gradually fade into the Serengeti. Ndutu forms a part of the route for the annual migration of more than 2 million wildebeests and thousands of zebra, antelope and gazelle. During game drives at the right season between December and April, you will be able to see the fertile plains turn into calving grounds and nursery for the great migration. This season attracts hordes of predators prying on vulnerable young wildebeest.
After game viewing, you will now head towards your choice of accommodation, where a freshly prepared dinner awaits you.

Accommodation: | Pamoja Serengeti Luxury Camp |

You can either have a relaxed breakfast and depart for full day game drives around 9:00 AM with packed lunch and return back to lodge late afternoon around 6:00 PM.

Early morning after breakfast at your accommodation, you will drive straight to Ngorongoro conservation area whereby you stop at the view point of Ngorongoro crater before you descend down the crater. The Ngorongoro Crater is the world’s largest intact volcanic caldera forming a spectacular bowl of about 265 square kilometres, with sides up to 600 metres deep and is home to approximately 30,000 mammals.
The crater offers a breathtakingly beautiful scenery and is the best place in East Africa to see the ‘Big Five’ (elephant, rhinoceros, buffalo, lion and rarely leopard). Any safari in northern Tanzania should ideally include a visit to the Ngorongoro Crater.
The Ngorongoro Crater offers excellent birding, with over 500 species. You will have packed picnic lunch boxes with you and after having lunch at the picnic site, you will proceed with game drive until the late afternoon where you will ascend the crater and drive straight to your lodgings in Karatu for overnight stay.

More than 500 species are present in Lake Manyara, and even for a first-time visitor to Africa might reasonably expect to observe 100 of these species in a single day. Inland of the floodplain, a narrow belt of acacia woodland is the favored haunt of Manyara’s legendary tree-climbing lions and impressively tusked elephants. Other animals that can be found here are giraffes, Zebras, hyenas, Buffalo, Hippo, elephants and wildebeests.
Lunch will be served inside the park and after further exploration of the park you will return to Arusha. Those who wish to combine this safari with a trip to Zanzibar can take a flight from the local Arusha Airport or Kilimanjaro International Airport.

EXCELENTE A base de 55 reseñas Joyce GohTrustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. As a solo female traveller, I was placed in a group tour with 5 other travellers - the 6 of us had different nationalities so I was glad to meet people from all over the world. It was an enjoyable 4d3n experience to the Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater! Cornelius, whom arranged my trip, was splendid! He was very quick with his email responses and was reliable, extremely helpful before, during, and after my trip. Thank you Cornelius, for your hard work and dedication in making sure I had the best time in Tanzania. He also placed me in the BEST accommodation - Plant Lodges (truly the best stay) - before and after my Safari. I really enjoyed my safari experience! Appreciate your help, you're truly a wonderful person! Sara FernandezTrustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. Safari Africa United and its great team have made it possible for my brother and I to have the best trip of our lives. We had been wanting to go on a safari for a long time, so we had very high expectations and Cornelius and his team have not let us down, quite the opposite. From the first day, our guide Evance and our driver Zubira became the best adventure companions we could have. With a 100% professional and friendly treatment, they made the 6 days we were on safari fantastic, full of laughter and animals in equal parts. We have learned a lot thanks to them, both about animals and about Tanzanian culture and customs. Without a doubt, I will recommend Safari Africa United to all my family, friends and contacts who are thinking of taking a trip of this type. We will always be grateful to Cornelius for giving us the opportunity to live this experience, and especially to Evance and Zubira for making it possible and taking care of us, from the first day to the last.

Hicimos el safari con el “capitan” Evans y la “Black Mamba” Zuberi. La verdad que nos sentimos muy a gusto con los dos, y al final es una parte fundamental en tu viaje (no dudéis en pedirlos como guías). Vimos todos los animales que había en Tanzania y nos ayudaron siempre que lo necesitamos. Enhorabuena por la disponibilidad de Cornelius en la organizacion y resolución de dudas!! Tuvimos problemas con el vehiculo pero no nos afectó en nada de lo que teniamos planeado y se disculparon desde el primer momento. Hemos viajado mucho, y este es uno de los mejores viajes que hemos hecho. Cuidado con la Black mamba, nunca sabes cuando te morderá!😛 Asante sana!!

Lástima que en Gorongoro no había demasiados animales. Recomiendo el viaje en Globo (norte Serengueti). Eugenio MennaTrustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. Una aventura inolvidable. Viajé solo, tuve un pequeño problema de coordinación el primer día pero la compañía logró resolverlo y se mantuvo muy atenta en todo momento. Recomiendo sin dudas Sadari África United por su amabilidad y trato familiar. Gracias a Cornelius especialmente. Saludos de Argentina! Allison MacriTrustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. The trip of a life time! My partner and I chose Safari Africa United for our 8 day mid range private safari and it was beyond our expectations. Safari Africa United is a locally owned company which I think really sets them apart from the big ones in delivering a more personalized experience. Cornelius (the owner of the company) delivered everything that our package outlined and more. He was also very responsive and flexible when we were a bit late getting into Arusha, as well as very prompt in emailing me back when I was booking the experience. Our guide was Laurian and he was very friendly and knowledgeable about all the animals, tribes and culture of Tanzania, and the diverse landscapes. Laurian was also a safe driver (super important on the dirt roads/ rough terrain of the Serengeti). We saw so many animals every day- way more than expected including the big five as well as The Great Migration and so many more. The accommodations were exactly as promised and all the staff were very hospitable and friendly as well. Laurian and Cornelius both delivered an amazing experience that I will remember for the rest of my life. Leire LizarragaTrustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. We did a 6-day safari in Tanzania with Safari Africa United and it was great. They met us at the airport and accompanied us for 6 days. We felt very well looked after and protected. They knew the terrain very well and we saw a lot of animals. We had a driver and a guide and at all times we could choose different plans or routes, adapting 100% to our needs. I recommend you to choose this company. Thank you for this amazing holiday. laura berbisTrustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. Inolvidable viaje!!!. Quería un safari, y prolongación en Zanzibar, hablé con Cornelius, lo organizo todo a mi gusto y a un precio asequible. Un equipo humano dedicado a crear experiencias inolvidables, tanto Cornelius como Richard, Evans y Pepe. Y no me olvido del personal de cada hotel, como Justin de Arusha, un gran ser humano. Maravillosa experiencia, que debería realizar todo el mundo una vez en la vida. Gracias Cornelius de todo corazón, Asante sana!!
