Zurura Africa Safaris

 You will be picked up by our Tour driver from your accomodation, hotel, or agreed pick up point in Arusha Town. After the safari briefing from your driver guide, we will then start our journey and drive on Tarmac Road 130km to towards lake Manyara National Park. The lake occupies a large portion of the park, the forest starts just when you cross the park gate along the base of the Great Rift Valley and the hot springs are located to the west of the park.

The park is home to the famous tree climbing lions as well as buffalo, giraffe, hippo, baboons, flamingo, ostrich, geese and so many more. After your picnic lunch,your driver guide will take you for an afternoon game drive. In the late afternoon,  you will drive to camp for dinner and your overnight stay at Burundika Lodge

After breakfast you will depart for Serengeti. The driver will pass through Olduvai Gorge.

The Olduvai Gorge or Oldupai Gorge in Tanzania is one of the most important paleoanthropological localities in the world; the many sites exposed by the gorge have proven invaluable in furthering understanding of early human evolution. The gorge takes its name from the Maasai word oldupai which means "the place of the wild sisal" as the East African wild sisal grows abundantly throughout the gorge area. Twenty-five kilometers downstream of Lake Ndutu and Lake Masek, the gorge is the result of up to 90 meters erosion cutting into the sediments of a Pleistocene lake bed. A side gorge, originating from Lemagrut Mountain, joins the main gorge 8 km from the mouth. This side gorge follows the shoreline of a prehistoric lake, rich in fossils and early hominin sites. Periodic flows of volcanic ash from Olmoti and Kerimasi helped to ensure preservation of the fossils in the gorge

Serengeti offers arguably the most scintillating game-viewing in Africa: great herds of buffalo, smaller groups of elephant and giraffe, and thousands upon thousands of eland, topi, kongoni, impala and Grant’s gazelle. The spectacle of predator versus prey dominates Tanzania’s greatest park.

Lions feast on the abundance of plain grazers. Solitary leopards haunt the acacia trees lining the Seronera River, while a high density of cheetahs prowls the southeastern plains. 

The Serengeti hosts the second largest terrestrial mammal migration in the world, which helps secure it as one of the Seven Natural Wonders of Africa, and as one of the ten natural travel wonders of the world.

Dinner and overnight stay will be at Osinon Tented Camp 

 After breakfast you your driver guide will take you to an early morning game drive along the Sogore River circuit, which loops into the plains south of the Seronera River. This is a good location for spotting lion, gazelle, topi, ostrich and cheetah.

The Visitor Center, close to the Serengeti Seronera Lodge and public campsites offers some interesting wildlife displays as well as a gift shop where you can purchase information leaflets and maps of the area.

In the afternoon, we will follow the Kopjes circuit going counterclockwise around the Maasai Kopjes. On this tour you have the chance to view more lion and some large cobras.

 After breakfast you will depart for the Tarangire National Park. The park runs along the Tarangire River and is mainly made up of low-lying hills on the Great Rift Valley floor. Its natural vegetation consists mainly of Acacia woodland, giant African Baobab trees and huge swamp areas. Both the river and the swamps act like a magnet for the local wildlife during the Tanzania dry season.

The Tarangire National Park is home to three rare species of animals, the Greater Kudu, the Fringed-eared Oryx and the Ashy Starlings. After a picnic lunch, head out for an afternoon game drive.
