A really excellent trip. In just over a week we had game drives in several different environments (forest, open plains, the Ngorongoro Crater) and had some truly magical experiences. Visiting the Olduvai Gorge to learn about humans' early ancestors was a moving experience. Our visit to a Maasai village helped us to see and understand something of their way of life. We stayed mainly in luxury tented camps (Tortillis Camps), which were spotlessly clean, very comfortable and run by a team of very helpful staff.

Migration tracking in Serengeti safari will be main focuses on tracking the migration .A little after this, in late November and December, the herds of the wildebeest migration arrive on the short-grass plains of the Serengeti. These are south and east of Seronera, around Ndutu and include the north of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Dispersed across these plains, wildebeest and zebra are everywhere – feeding on the fresh, nutritious grasses. They stay here through January, February and March, with most wildebeest calves born in a short window around February. Gradually they spread west across these plains, then around April they start their great migration north.
May the Serengeti’s wildebeest all seem to be moving north, migrating to seek fresh grazing and water. The area around Moru Kopjes and west of Seronera is then hectic with a series of moving columns, often containing hundreds of thousands of animals – joined by many zebra, and a scattering of Thomson’s and Grant’s gazelles.
Some of the migration then head due north of Seronera, but most are usually further west. Around June the wildebeest migration is often halted on the south side of the Grumeti River, which has some channels which block or slow their migration north. The wildebeest then congregate there, in the Western Corridor, often building up to a high density before crossing the river. The river here is normally a series of pools and channels, but it’s not continuous – and so whilst they always represent an annual feast for the Grumeti River’s large crocodiles, these aren’t usually quite as spectacular as the crossings of the Mara River, further north.
The wildebeest migration continues moving northwards during July and August, often spreading out across a broad front: some heading through Grumeti Reserve and Ikorongo, others north through the heart of the Serengeti National Park.

Join us on this four-day, guided tour and make the most of your short stay in Tanzania with a visit to two of its iconic national parks. Serengeti National Park, your first wildlife destination, is famous for its huge concentration of wildlife, especially big cats, as well as for being the stomping ground of the great migration, which sees one and a half million wildebeests, 200,000 zebras and 350,000 gazelles traveling over 1,200 miles in an annual race for water and green grass.
The Ngorongoro Crater, where you will proceed from Serengeti, is the world's largest intact caldera, forming a spectacular bowl spread over 265 square kilometres with sides up to 600m deep. The crater is home to as many as 20,000 to 30,000 wild animals at any given time.
Also included is a stopover at the famous Olduvai Gorge, where the missing puzzles of human evolution were found. Please note that two night's accommodation in Moshi, one night each before Day 1 and on Day 4, is included in the tour price.

At 4,566 m Mt Meru is the fifth highest mountain on the African continent and the second highest in Tanzania. About 250,000 years ago, a massive volcanic eruption blew away the entire eastern flank of the mountain and left it with the distinctive appearance it has today.
The mountain became well known mainly because it is only 70 km from Mount Kilimanjaro. Mt. Meru has become a popular "warm up" trek for Kilimanjaro climbers.
Mt. Meru is located within Arusha National Park, and usually the climber can start the trip from Moshi or Arusha, in Northern Tanzania. This major location provides Mount Meru climbers the chance to spot some wildlife that naturally inhabits the area.
The ascend is fairly steep and the route to the summit passes over watercourse, through parkland, montane forest, a giant heather zone and moorland.
The summit is made by a narrow, barren ridge, which gives spectacular views of the Ash Cone lying several thousand feet below in the crater.
Africa is very big, sometimes it is difficult to decide on where to go for vacation because of your schedule and the number of days you have available. This tour will suit any person who would like to explore Tanzania's fantastic nature and wildlife!
In just 6 days you will get to explore the North of Tanzania that will give you an opportunity to explore the famous Serengeti National Park which is one of the oldest national parks on earth and it is most well-known for its annual wildlife migration. You will be going on safaris in the famous Ngorongoro Crater and visit Tarangire National Park which is the home of a variety of Carnivores, Herbivores and Predators. The park also has many baobab trees and elephants. Don't think too much about the limited number of days you have for your safari, with us six days will be more than enough.
This tour includes full-board accommodation during the safaris, bed-and-breakfast at the Ilboru Lodge, 4x4 safari vehicle, driver guide, all necessary park entry fees, airport transfers, coffee, tea and bottled water during the safaris.

Seif was absolutely great! We had a great chat on the walk from the hotel to the pier. The lads on the boat were such a laugh. We enjoyed it so so much. Thanks to everyone!
Known as the "Coca-Cola" route, the Marangu route is a classic trek on Mount Kilimanjaro. It is the oldest, most well established route. Many favor the Marangu route because it is considered to be the easiest path on the mountain, given its gradual slope. It is also the only route which offers sleeping huts in dormitory style accommodations.
The minimum days required for this route is five, although the probability of successfully reaching the top in that time period is quite low. Spending an extra acclimatization day on the mountain is highly recommended when climbing Klimanjaro using the Marangu route.
However, despite its immense popularity, we avoid leading climbs on the Marangu route. The route has the least scenic variety of all the routes because the ascent and descent are done on the same path and it is the most crowded route for that reason. Marangu is favored during the rainy season, where the hut accommodations are preferred over wet ground, or for those who only have five days to climb Kilimanjaro.
NB: With small Additional cost we can book for you accommodation before or/and after summiting Mount Kilimanjaro.
