Overview

Duma Tanzania Safari

Duma is a Swahili word meaning “cheetah”. On this 5 Days safari visiting Serengeti National park, Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater Safari Tour will take you through the Northern Safari Circuit in Tanzania.

Visiting Serengeti National Park, Tarangire National Park, and the Ngorongoro Crater is a breathtaking experience that immerses you in the natural wonders of Tanzania. These iconic destinations offer a unique opportunity to witness Africa’s incredible wildlife and stunning landscapes.

Starting with Serengeti National Park, it is renowned for its annual Great Migration, where millions of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles traverse the vast plains in search of fresh grazing grounds. The park’s sprawling savannahs, dotted with acacia trees and rocky outcrops, create a picturesque backdrop for unforgettable game drives. Serengeti is home to the Big Five—elephants, lions, leopards, rhinos, and buffalos—as well as cheetahs, hyenas, giraffes, and an abundance of bird species.

Tarangire National Park, located southwest of Arusha, is known for its dense elephant populations. The park’s landscape is dominated by the Tarangire River, which serves as a vital water source, attracting a variety of wildlife during the dry season. In addition to elephants, Tarangire is famous for its large herds of zebras, wildebeest, giraffes, and various antelope species. Exploring the park on a game drive or guided walking safari allows visitors to appreciate its unique flora and fauna up close.

Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a geological marvel. It is an extinct volcanic caldera that formed a natural enclosure for a diverse range of wildlife. As you descend into the crater, you’ll be greeted by an awe-inspiring sight—a vast, fertile basin teeming with wildlife. Rhinos, lions, cheetahs, hippos, and flamingos are just a few of the species that inhabit this incredible ecosystem. With its stunning vistas and abundant wildlife, Ngorongoro Crater offers an unparalleled safari experience.

Each of these destinations has its own distinct charm, but they collectively showcase the incredible biodiversity of Tanzania. Whether you’re a wildlife enthusiast, a nature lover, or a photography enthusiast, visiting Serengeti National Park, Tarangire National Park, and the Ngorongoro Crater will leave you with lifelong memories of Africa’s natural wonders.

FAQs

Oranje safari is a well-reputed company in Kenya with a wealth of experience in the travel industry spanning close to 20 years. Considering the tour operator does not have its own accommodations, the advice given on safari accommodations will never be biased. Oranje's exclusive safari collects a small deposit via secured Visa or Mastercard to secure the booking and payment of the full amount just days before the safari, reducing the fear of losing your money and giving our customers peace of mind. We are members of KATO.

We highly recommend a minimum safari with an overnight stay. The best is to pre-book your safari from your country and end with a beach stay. To have a more relaxed safari, stay two nights in the same accommodation if you are going on a safari holiday because the game drives entail early starts where you might not even have time to enjoy the luxuries of the accommodations you are staying in. A safari will always depend on your budget and the desired days of stay. Oranje Exclusive Safaris recommends 4 days and above for a safari within East Africa (Kenya). For Family Safaris, Oranje Safaris recommend more than 7 days and above for great experiences with a beach extension to relax.

As a leading tour operator offering exclusive high-end safaris in Kenya, we regularly receive payments from all over the world. Customer payment is secure because you can pay with Visa, MasterCard, or American Express. As a Kato Member we are bonded by Kato member scheme. The KATO Bond Scheme is therefore intended to be a form of "financial guarantee" to cushion the business associates of KATO members against the possible loss of monies paid to a KATO member who is facing involuntary liquidation.

For the comfort of the parents’ children below 5 might be advisable for shorter safaris close to the beach Hotels or spending more nights in one lodge or safari camp. Children tend to become tired quickly, and the long bumpy roads are extremely uncomfortable for children.

On safari, you will be driving around to spot different animals; this is called a game drive. When booking your safari, your core interest is to know how many game drives you will be having and for how long, because that determines the chance you have of spotting animals. We can never guarantee the animals you will spot, but our professional driver guides will do their level best for you to see a lot of wildlife.

The best time to visit Kenya depends on what you want to do. Kenya is divided by the equator and is characterized by a tropical climate. We are luck to have 12hours of son and 12 hours of Darkness the whole year.
The weather in Kenya is often ideal, although the coast can be very humid and there are hot, desert-like conditions around Lake Magadi and in the northern areas of the country around Lake Turkana.
During the coolest months of June, July, and August, temperatures in Nairobi are around 60 °F, which can drop to about 50 °F in the Aberdare region and Mount Kenya.
Short rains: November to December It rarely rains all day. Short, heavy rainfalls are usually replaced by sunny periods, which makes this time in Kenya very pleasant.

Safari wear should be comfortable and casual. Evenings and early mornings can be chilly, so warm sweaters are recommended. Low-heeled, comfortable sports or trekking shoes are the most suitable walking shoes, should you intend to join any walking safaris.
We recommend you bring warm clothes, including a fleece or light wool sweater and socks, apart from the normal safari gear. During the day, it can get quite hot, so do not forget sunglasses and a high-factor sunscreen, as well as a sun hat with a small brim.
Due to the limited space in the light aircraft, we advise you to keep your luggage to a minimum. We suggest you pack your luggage into a small, soft bag weighing no more than 15 kg, the luggage limit for local flights issued by the airlines.

Safari’s cost is expensive because you get the total cost for the 4x4 Land Cruiser, park entrance fees, fuel, driver’s allowance, accommodations, drinks in the 4x4, all meals, etc. These costs are paid to us, and we pay for the accommodations.
We work with deeply knowledgeable, experienced driver guides, whom we pay well to ensure we retain them.
The lodges and camps we work with cost more because maintaining the high standard costs a lot more in the parks than in towns or cities. Lodges located inside the parks pay equally for Kenya's wildlife services.
