Shumba Safaris serves as an adventure of confidence that which is proudly aimed at clientele satisfaction on connecting Africa to explore with our esteemed clients. Our 7-day tour specifically include the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and the world famous Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania. This specific Africa safari and travel itinerary has been designed for visitors with more time on hand for a stretched safari experience. The adventure specifically includes the Tarangire National Park that have been designed to offer you a total Tanzanian northern circuit safari experience, whilst attempting to keep the non-game viewing travel time to a minimum. This unforgettable safari will take us to the Lake Manyara National Park, one of Tanzania’s most dramatically located wildlife areas, consisting of a shallow but huge soda lake, located at the foot of the Great Rift Valley’s western escarpment.
The size of the park makes it perfect for a full day game drive and is notably famous for its tree-climbing lions. This safari will also take you to the Serengeti National Park, a massive wilderness of 14500 square km, where every day brings a new landscape and a new adventure. We will visit the Ngorongoro Crater and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area in Tanzania, featuring one of the highest concentrations of game and arguably the densest population of predators and carnivores in Africa. Here you will witness an amazing spectacle of African wildlife inside a self-contained world teeming with animals. Finally our safari will also take us to the Tarangire National Park, which once again features some of the greatest concentration of game in Tanzania, second only to the Ngorongoro Crater, although less crowded and possessing unspoiled wild natural beauty.
