Embark on a unique journey through the wilderness of Tanzania with Timon Safaris’ “7-day Baobab Safari.” This adventure will take you through four of Tanzania’s most iconic national parks, each offering distinct experiences and sights.
Beginning with Tarangire National Park, known for its massive elephant herds, the park is studded with ancient baobab trees and hosts diverse fauna. Wildlife enthusiasts can spot giraffes, buffaloes, zebras, and, if lucky, the elusive tree-climbing lions amidst a backdrop of endless savannah.
The journey then leads you to the world-renowned Serengeti National Park. Its vast plains, home to an array of wildlife species, including the big cats, hold nature’s drama that unfolds daily. Optional activities include walking safaris and a hot air balloon ride offering a bird’s eye view of this wildlife Eden.
Your stay in the Serengeti comes with our luxurious accommodations, tailored to your preference with our Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum packages. Every lodge provides all modern comforts while preserving the authentic African wilderness feel.
One cannot mention the Serengeti without noting the unique opportunity to see the critically endangered Black Rhinos. Your visit contributes to their preservation, a cause Timon Safaris is deeply passionate about. An optional visit to the Maasai Village provides cultural enrichment, offering insight into the lives of this nomadic tribe.
Next on the itinerary is the Ngorongoro Crater, the largest intact caldera in the world, brimming with diverse wildlife. This UNESCO World Heritage site provides a unique ecosystem with representatives from all the Big Five – elephants, lions, leopards, buffalos, and the nearly extinct rhinos.
The final leg of your safari adventure takes you to Lake Manyara National Park, a gem hidden in the Great Rift Valley. Known for its flamingo-flocked lake and lush groundwater forest, the park is a habitat for tree-climbing lions, hippos, baboons, and more than 400 species of birds.
Beyond the wildlife, the crater also hosts the Olduvai Gorge Museum, holding the earliest evidence of the existence of human ancestors. This archaeological marvel adds a touch of ancient history to your wildlife adventure.
The trip’s inclusions are designed for comfort and convenience, with all meals included and served under the African sky. Travel in a specially designed 4*4 Land Cruiser with a pop-up roof for the best game-viewing experience. English-speaking professional guides ensure your safety and provide invaluable insights into the wilderness.
All National Park and transit fees are included, ensuring a hassle-free journey. With airport transfers and unlimited mineral drinking water provided, we pay attention to every detail. On-board Wi-Fi and the availability of tea and coffee during lunch add a touch of luxury to your wilderness adventure.
While international and local flights, personal expenses, tips, insurance, visas, and drinks at the lodge are not included, we provide 24/7 service from our Arusha, Tanzania office for any assistance. We at Timon Safaris strive to offer an unforgettable African adventure with memories to cherish forever.
In conclusion, the “7-day Baobab Safari” is not just a trip. It’s an immersive experience that takes you close to nature, wildlife, and the beautiful landscapes of Tanzania. It’s a journey into Africa’s heart, touching the continent’s soul and the people who call it home.
