Your safari with Golden Trips Tanzania begins with an exciting drive to Lake Manyara National Park, famous for its lush groundwater forests, tree-climbing lions, and pink-hued flamingos along the lakeshore.

After breakfast, Golden Trips Tanzania takes you deep into the Ndutu region of the southern Serengeti, the heart of the wildebeest calving season between December and March. Here, thousands of wildebeest give birth almost simultaneously, filling the plains with life and energy. This incredible event attracts predators such as lions and cheetahs, creating opportunities for dramatic wildlife encounters. Your day will be filled with unforgettable game drives, breathtaking scenery, and close-up views of the circle of life unfolding before your eyes.

Your expert guide will help you track the movements of wildebeest herds, spot elusive leopards in the woodlands, and admire cheetahs sprinting across the open plains. This full day in Ndutu ensures that you fully experience one of the most extraordinary wildlife events on Earth.

On your final day, Golden Trips Tanzania leads you into the world-famous Ngorongoro Crater, often described as the “Eighth Wonder of the World.” Descend into this vast caldera, home to an incredible density of wildlife, including elephants, black rhinos, hippos, lions, and a dazzling array of bird species. As you enjoy your game drive across the crater floor, the dramatic scenery of crater walls rising around you creates a truly unforgettable safari experience.
