Tag 6:
wir beginnen mit einem letzten game Drive am mara Fluss, werden vermutlich in der Lodge zu Mittag essen, bevor wir weiter ziehen in die zentrale Serengeti.
Die meisten Gruppenreisen sehen nur 2 Nächte und 1 Safaritag in der zentralen Serengeti vor, da hier immer Tiere zu finden sind, nicht aber die Migration. Die ist von Ende Juni bis Oktober der Nordserengeti und von Januar bis März in der Südserengeti. In den anderen Monaten kann man Glück haben und die großen Herden auch in der zentralen Serengeti erleben.
Tag 7:

Day 8

Day 8 Central Serengeti National Park

(for english please scroll down)
Heute starten wir mit einem letzten Game Drive in der zentralen Serengeti, der auch eine Transferfahrt zum Ngorongoro Krater ist. Denn unser Tagesziel ist das luxuriöse Pakulala Camp oben am Kraterrand, damit wir am nächsten Morgen die Chance haben unter den ersten zu ein, die in den Krater einfahren können, bevor die Masse der Autos kommt. Da die meisten nicht oben am Krater übernachten, sondern aus Karatu, vom Lake Manyara oder aus der zentralen Serengeti anreisen, dauert es mindestens 2 Stunden länger, bis sie am Kratereingang eintreffen.

English:Today we start with a final game drive in the central Serengeti, which is also a transfer to the Ngorongoro Crater. Our goal for the day is the luxurious Pakulala Camp at the top of the crater rim, so that we have the chance to be among the first to enter the crater the next morning before the mass of cars arrive. Since most people do not spend the night at the top of the crater, but come from in Karatu, from Lake Manyara or Central Serengeti, it takes at least 2 more hours to reach the crater entrance.

Activities Day 8

Morning or Afternoon

As we drive you to the next part of your safari, you'll be enjoying a game drive at the same time.

Day 9

Day 9 Ngorongoro Crater

(for english please scroll down)
Heute brechen sie sehr früh auf und werden bis Mittag im Krater auf Safari gehen.
Der Krater beherbergt sehr viele Tiere, die dort allerdings nicht 'gefangen' sind, wie oft behauptet wird, sondern durchaus hinein und hinaus wandern. Es kann auch vorkommen, dass man verhältnismäßig wenig Tiere sieht. Im Krater gibt es Spitzmaulnashörner. Die Chance sie aus der Nähe zu sehen ist jedoch sehr gering. Meist reicht es nur zu 'Dokumentatiosfotos'. Auf dieser Reise erleben sie im Mkomazi Park die Rhinos garantiert aus nächster Nähe.
Mittags kehren sie zum Pakulala Camp zurück und werden dort unser Lunch mit Blick auf den Krater genießen bevor es weiter geht zum Tarangire Park. Das Tagesziel ist die Osupuko Lodge am Tarangire Park.
English:
Today you will set off very early and go on safari in the crater until midday.
The crater is home to a lot of animals, which are not 'trapped' there, as is often claimed, but rather wander in and out. It can also happen that you see relatively few animals. There are black rhinos in the crater. However, the chance of seeing them up close is very slim. Most of the time you only get 'documentary photos'. On this trip you are guaranteed to see the rhinos up close in Mkomazi Park.

At midday you will return to Pakulala Camp and enjoy our lunch there with a view of the crater before continuing on to Tarangire Park. The day's destination is the Osupuko Lodge at Tarangire Park.

Activities Day 9

5:30 am to about 12 am

Bitte warm anziehen - morgens ist es sehr kalt im Krater und das Dach ist offen!

Please use warm clothes - in the morning the crater is very cold

Day 10

Day 10 Tarangire National Park

(for english please scroll down)
Am heutigen Tag ist der südliche Teil des Tarangire Parks unser Ziel. Weite Teile des Jahres ist dies ein Sumpfgebiet und nicht befahrbar. Wir nutzen die Trockenzeit, diesen mehr als reizvollen Teil des Parks zu erkunden. Um die Mittagszeit wandern große Elefantenherden in die Sümpfe, um zu trinken und sich im Wasser zur erfrischen.
Tarangire-Park
Wohin Sie auch im Tarangire-Nationalpark gehen, Sie werden auf die riesigen Affenbrotbäume - Baobabs und viele Elefanten stoßen. Diese beiden Elemente verleihen diesem Park viel Persönlichkeit. Dazu kommt ein große Anzahl von Gnus, Giraffen, Flusspferden, Büffeln, Pavianen, Grünmeerkatzen und Zebras und eine zerklüftete Landschaft mit felsigen Hügeln und Flüssen, Sümpfen und Savannenebenen. Tarangire ist auch eine echte Löwenhochburg – und halten Sie auch nach Leoparden und Geparden Ausschau.
english:
Today our destination is the southern part of Tarangire Park. For large parts of the year this is a swamp area and not accessible by car. We use the dry season to explore this very attractive part of the park. At midday large herds of elephants wander into the swamps to drink and refresh themselves in the water.
Tarangire Park
Wherever you go in Tarangire National Park, you will come across the giant baobab trees and plenty of elephants. These two elements give this park a lot of personality. On top a that large numbers of wildebeest, giraffes, hippos, buffalo, baboons, vervet monkeys and zebras and a rugged landscape of rocky hills and rivers, swamps and savannah plains. Tarangire is also a real lion stronghold - and keep an eye out for leopards and cheetahs too.

Come with us as we look for lions, elephants and so much more amid the baobab trees and classic safari scenery of Tarangire National Park.

Day 13 Mkomazi National Park

(for english please scroll down)
Wir brechen früh auf, da eine längere Fahrt zum Mkomazi NP ansteht. Unterwegs werden wir in Moshi als Picknick Lunch die besten Samosas Tansanias verzehren. Die Hauptattraktion des Tages wird der Besuch des Rhino Geheges sein. Es ist die einzige Gelegenheit in Ostafrika Spitzmaulnashörner garantiert aus der Nähe zu betrachten. Der Park ist landschaftlich sehr schön, aber ihr werdet erleben, dass die Tiere hier deutlich scheuer sind als in den anderen Parks. Das hängt damit zusammen, dass Mkomazi noch nicht lange Nationalpark ist und die Tiere hier noch Jagd erlebt haben. Der Park bildet eine Einheit mit den Tsavo Parks in Kenia. Zäune gibt es nicht (mit Ausnahme des Rhino Geheges).
ENGLISH:
We set off early as we have a long drive to Mkomazi NP. On the way we will have a picnic lunch in Moshi, eating the best samosas in Tanzania. The main attraction of the day will be a visit to the rhino enclosure. It is the only opportunity in East Africa to see black rhinos up close. The park is very scenic, but you will find that the animals here are much more shy than in the other parks. This is because Mkomazi has not been a national park for long and the animals here have experienced hunting. The park forms a unit with the Tsavo Parks in Kenya. There are no fences (with the exception of the rhino enclosure).

Activities Day 13
