Spot The Giants Of Africa On A 7-Day African Safari

Day 1: Relax amid the coffee plantation in Arusha

Get ready to get lost in the smell of fresh coffee and the fragrance of adventure on arriving the International Airport of Kilimanjaro. On your arrival in Arusha, you will be transferred to your lodge which would be a few km away from the airport. Though the adventurous gorilla trekking will start on the next day but the random sounds of wildlife will make you feel as if you are a part of Africa on the day one itself.

Day 2: Exquisite game driving in the land of pachyderms

Begin the day 2 of your safari with a drive to the land of pachyderms. After a journey of 2 hours from Arusha, you will reach Tarangire, a land of the giants. Huge herds of elephants which sometimes crosses the second digit as well, are scattered equally across the savannah. You will rarely see any elephant walking alone in the park as they prefer to evocatively in herds. Not only this, a game drive to the Tarangire park will take you closer to the African wildlife wherein you will spot scampering baboons, giraffes, lions, and many more wild animals which will make your safari actually a worth.

Day 3: The Ngorongoro Trip - spot the big five in just one day

If you had to explore Africa in just one day, then Ngorongoro would be the only place any guide will suggest to you. Ngorongoro is home to incredible wildlife including the big five. A game drive to the Ngorongoro, can take you closer to the lions, hippos, elephants, rhinos, and wildebeests. Spend a whole day exploring Ngorongoro wildlife and try not to get satisfied. Leopard, cheetah, hyena, hartebeest, eland, hippos jackal, warthog, ostrich, are flamingos just a few names. Reaching Ngorongoro in the morning hours assure you to spot unexpected and unseen mammals sunbathing in the park.

Day 4: Follow the drama of the Great Wildebeest Migration in Serengeti

If staying in the Ubuntu camp, you will have a marvelous opportunity to witness the great wildebeest migration that happens occasionally in Serengeti. Pull open the canvas of your boutique tent and watch the great wildebeest migration happening right in front of you. If this does not give you goosebumps, then the zebras - filling the landscape with a blur of black and white stripes - will surely do. Try to stand transfixed as a leopard disappears into the grass and emerges with an impala carcass, to the cacophonous protest of storks that swoop overhead. Watch how the great wildebeest migration seems to be a scrumptious buffet to the lions.

Day 5-7: Visit Maasai Mara for the river adventure

If Serengeti is a place to explore the wildlife, Maasai Mara is a place to explore the azure waters of Africa.  From 500 resident bird species to the wild black rhinos, Maasai Mara game driving would be full of surprises. You will get to see new species that you have not yet seen emerge, like a caracal or a colobus monkey. However, spotting Leopards and Cheetahs looking for prey is always a breathtaking view. Explore Maasai Mara for three days and get closer to the African riverside areas.
