Itinerary
1
Day 1: Arusha – Tarangire
Depart after breakfast and drive to Tarangire National Park for a full day game drive with picnic lunch. In the evening, drive to the camp for the dinner and overnight.
The Park Located slightly off the main safari route, Tarangire National Park is a lovely quiet park in Northern Tanzania that is most famous for its elephant migration, birding and quiet authentic safari atmosphere. The majority of travelers to the region either miss out on Tarangire altogether or venture into the park for a matter of hours leaving parts of Tarangire virtually untouched.

Day 2: Serengeti
Enjoy your breakfast at the lodge before departing for Serengeti National Park for a full day game drive viewing the great migration. In the evening, check in to the Four Season Safari Lodge for dinner and overnight.
A million wildebeest… each one driven by the same ancient rhythm, fulfilling its instinctive role in the inescapable cycle of life: a frenzied three-week bout of territorial conquests and mating; survival of the fittest as 40km (25 mile) long columns plunge through crocodile-infested waters on the annual exodus north; replenishing the species in a brief population explosion that produces more than 8,000 calves daily before the 1,000 km (600 mile) pilgrimage begins again.

Day 3: Serengeti
After your breakfast at the camp, we’ll drive to Seronera for a full day game drive at the central part of Serengeti still viewing the great migration. Late in the afternoon, we’ll drive back to the lodge for your dinner and overnight.
The park is well known for its healthy stock of other resident wildlife, particularly the big five named for the five most prized trophies taken by hunters: Lion: the Serengeti is believed to hold the largest population of lions in Africa due in part to the abundance of prey species. More than 3,000 lions live in this ecosystem. African Leopard: these reclusive predators are commonly seen in the Seronera region but are present throughout the national park with the population of around 1,000. African Elephant.

Day 4: Ngorongoro Crater
Depart after your breakfast at the camp to Ngorongoro Conservation Area for a full day crater tour game drive with picnic lunch. In the evening, we’ll drive to the Ngorongoro Crater Lodge for the dinner and overnight stay.
The jewel in Ngorongoro’s crown is a deep, volcanic crater, the largest unflooded and unbroken caldera in the world. About 20kms across, 600 meters deep and 300 sq kms in area, the Ngorongoro Crater is a breathtaking natural wonder. We will visit Lake Magadi, a large but shallow alkaline lake in the southwestern corner, which is one of the main features of the crater. A large number of flamingos, hippos and other water birds can usually be seen here.

Day 5: Lake Manyara – Departure
After breakfast, we’ll drive to Lake Manyara National Park for a game drive and in the afternoon, drive back to Arusha for your drop off at the Kilimanjaro International Airport for your flight to your other destination or back home.
Manyara provides the perfect introduction to Tanzania’s birdlife. More than 400 species have been recorded, and even a first-time visitor to Africa might reasonably expect to observe 100 of these in one 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.

Tanzania is an East African country known for its vast wilderness areas. The country boasts of the overwhelming plains of the Serengeti National Park that supports well over 3 million wild animals, a safari mecca populated by the “big 5” game (i.e. elephants, lions, leopards, buffalos and rhinos), Kilimanjaro – home to Africa’s highest mountain and then offshore lie the tropical island of Zanzibar – a repository of a thousand years of African, Indian and Arab influence. While on a safari in this country, it is not uncommon to hear the phrase “Tanzania – The Land of Kilimanjaro, Zanzibar & The Serengeti”.

We had a amazing experience on the Safari organised by Primate safaris .
The owner (maria) was very professional and was very attentive to all of our requests and changes in the plan prior to our arrival. He was easy to deal with and you can even communicate with him
The Driver/Guide (Alex) was a really nice guy and he was very knowledgeable of what he’s doing and provided us with a great insight about all the wildlife and information about each national park. We had a lot of fun hanging out with him.
The food was great but there should be some improvement in the lunch boxes provided during the Safaris.
We were lucky to see The Big Five along with almost every type of animal you can find in those parks. (Thanks to Maria of course).

My wife wanted to see the migration, Maria was constantly on the phone tailoring our trip to put us near the herds. Maria and Andrew were extremely flexible with the travel, lodge, and flight arrangements. Their hard work not only got us all of the experiences we wanted, but also netted an extra days in the Serengeti.
We visited Ngorongo,Manyara ,Tarangire and the Serengeti . Maria arranged accomodations for us a Mt. Meru hotel in Arusha, Serena Ngorongo at the crater, Kati Kati and Serena Seregeti in the Serengeti. All were great.
Our guide John was a great companion on the trip. He had all of the magical animal spotting ability and did a great job of putting us in the right place to see stuff.
I noted the other reviews that complained about car trouble. It is a fact of life on this kind of trip. We had a couple breakdowns last trip, and none this trip, but they can’t be helped. It’s all part of the experience, expect it and don’t worry about it.
Tanzanian banking is a challenge. Try to work it out well in advance, take a good amount of US currency, and accept that the wire transfers to Tanzanian banks can take weeks (or even months) to go through. We did this trip last minute, and our deposit (sent weeks earlier) did not hit Maria”s bank until the last day of our trip. We arrived in Arusha, and Maria handed me the money in cash when we got off the plane. The key to these trips is just to be flexible enjoy the ride.
Highly recommend! We are already planning a trip in February 2021.

We finished today a 5 day safari going to Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Manyara and Tarangire and we are very glad to have Winston Churchill Tours.
Everything was as Maria explained us, even much better as we expected. Since the pick up at the airport and until we finished it was all perfect.
The crew on the safari, Andrew and Alex were taking care of us every single moment and we managed to see the big five so much more than happy.
Also we slept in at Manyara when the schedule was to sleep in tents.
Thanks Maria and all your crew for this fantastic experience

We had a 5-day safari remotely organised with primate safaris Everything went fine and the staff in Winston Churchill Tour and Maria (the owner) in Arusha seemed to really try to care for us best – which they did!
The tour was very nice, great choice of parks (Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara serengenti) and good routing so that the driving didn’t take too long. We had an excellent driver and guide and saw lots of game and enjoyed beautiful landscape.
The accomodation was perfect (Panorama Campsite, which has an amazing view over the Rift and is also perfectly located for the routing of the tour), the meals and lunchboxes were nice and it was no problem for them to make vegetarian food for us.
Also the all-in-all pricing was reasonable, transparent and very affordable for us.
So the safari was and will be a very nice and memorable trip in our holiday.
After the safari Maria also booked a little walking tour through a local village for us. This also went well, and it was great to get in touch with locals and see the country from not only the tourist perspective.
