The little-visited Mkomazi N.P.
The route begins in the little-visited Mkomazi National Park, which lies at the foot of the Usambara and Pare Mountains. A lost world with grand landscapes. With chances to see black rhinos, oryxes, gerenuk and wild dogs, this is an impressive start to your extended safari trip. You will then fly to Lake Victoria. Below you pass all the landscapes you will discover during your journey.
The iconic game parks Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater
A safari trip to northern Tanzania is not complete without a visit to Serengeti. Start in the less visited Western Corridor, which is enclosed between the Grumeti and Mbalageti rivers. In the months of May-July-July, the great migration passes here. Heading north, thousands of wildebeest and zebra cross the Grumeti River, a visual spectacle. After the more familiar savannas, rock formations and gallery forests of the Central Serengeti, the road climbs to the crater rim, from where you descend into the iconic Ngorongoro Conservation Area.
Lake Natron
Get ready for an adventurous stay at Lake Natron, where you will explore by foot, mountain bike and jeep under the care of your Masai guide. The scenery is overwhelming, so different and so rugged. Close to nature and under the stars, this is an intense and worthy conclusion to your safari trip. Where the world can't find you...
