5 Days Maasai Boma Road Safari

This is an eight-days road drive safari in the Northern circuit which you will have the honor of visiting four beautiful national parks with distinctive features, namely: Arusha national park, Serengeti national park, Manyara national park and Ngorongoro conservation area. Arusha National park, lying between the peaks of Kilimanjaro and Meru, is an area of outstanding beauty. The Park has a wide range of habitats, from the string of crater lakes where many water birds can be watched, through the highland montane forest and on up to the imposing summit of Mt. Meru. Often called the eighth natural wonder of the world, the Ngorongoro Crater is the largest intact crater in the world. At over 19 kilometres wide, Ngorongoro Crater is filled with great areas of acacia forest, hippo filled swamps and open grasslands. These different habitats contain over 30,000 animals. The Maasai can also be seen grazing their cattle alongside the buffalo and wildebeest. The Serengeti National Park is the world’s last great wildlife refuge as it contains an estimated three million large animals, most of which take part in a seasonal migration that is one of nature’s wonders. Lake Manyara is a beautiful little park which is famous for its tree-climbing lions, elephants and large troops of baboons. The park is home to an amazing variety of birds and animals considering its small size.

About 2 million years ago the Ngorongoro volcano erupted, and its walls collapsed. The volcano floor sank to create a natural enclosure with its 600m tall walls. Now, at over 19 kilometres wide, Ngorongoro Crater is filled with great areas of acacia forest, hippo filled swamps and open grasslands. These different habitats contain over 30,000 animals – including elephants, warthogs, flamingos, magnificent birdlife, the rare black rhinoceros and all the predatory cats.
