Luxury Africa safari in Tanzania 8 Days

Description

Luxury Africa Safari Highlights

Our Signature Luxury Africa Safari in Tanzania is an excellent adventure to get to experience the premier destinations on the Northern Safari Circuit. We begin our journey into the Rift Valley at Manyara National Park, so named for its namesake soda lake that covers some seventy percent of the parks environs and is host to some thousands of flamingo feeding and breeding. Famed for its tree climbing lions, Manyara is truly a sight to behold. Roving on from here we take the opportunity to spend three nights upon the Serengeti, world renowned home to the last great terrestrial migration on our Earth, that of the wildebeest and zebra. After our time on the plains we head up to the Ngorongoro highlands to witness the awesome spectacle of the Ngorongoro Crater spread out before our eyes. One of the seven wonders of Africa and a UNESCO world heritage site, this caldera, home to 25,000 large mammals is the premier game viewing experience in the country if not the continent entire. After safari in the crater we take ourselves to Tarangire National Park, so named for the Tarangire river that wends its way through the parklands and attracts a multitude of myriad wildlife to drink of her sating waters. Accommodation arranged in the itinerary in  luxury lodges on full board basis.
