The itinerary

Day 01

Arrival in Arusha

Pick up from Kilimanjaro Airport and transfer to Arusha.

Day 02

Tarangire National Park Game Drive

Depart for Tarangire, have lunch in Tarangire Park, and set off for a game drive in Tarangire National Park. This park is dominated by the silhouettes of great baobab trees and is an untouched haven for wildlife. Herds of up to 300 elephants search the dry river bed for underground streams.
Also, see migratory wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, impala, gazelle, hartebeest, and eland crowd the shrinking lagoons. It is the greatest concentration of wildlife outside the Serengeti ecosystem.

Day 03

Lake Manyara Wildlife Safari

After breakfast, depart for Manyara with a picnic lunch on the way.
Go for an afternoon game drive in this scenic park set around Lake Manyara, most famous for the tree-climbing lions. It is a bird watcher's paradise.
Marvel at the variety of species, including spoonbill, teal, pelican, kingfisher, hornbill, and cormorant. In the tall trees, forest monkeys leap from branch to branch on the slope of the Great Rift escarpment, and elephants stand in the shade of the baobab.

Day 04

Journey to Serengeti National Park

After breakfast, drive to Serengeti National Park with a picnic lunch and an afternoon game drive in the park.
Spot vast herds of herbivores like wildebeests, gazelles, and zebras, followed by predators on their annual migration to permanent water holes.

Day 05

Full-Day Serengeti Game Viewing

Go on a morning game drive after breakfast. Enjoy the endless plains of Serengeti with game viewing. Here, you might have the chance to see the migration, where thousands of zebra and wildebeest make a trip from the Masai Mara every year.
Have lunch and proceed for an afternoon game drive.

Day 06

Ngorongoro Crater Exploration

After breakfast, drive to the Ngorongoro Crater rim and descend into Ngorongoro Crater, one of the wonders of the natural world. An extinct volcano collapsed around 25 million years ago, forming a vast super bowl where the largest permanent concentration of African game is on display. Four-wheel-drive vehicles will take you down into this primeval paradise of woodland, lake, river, swamp, and plain that shelters around 20,000 animals.
See large grazing animals such as wildebeest, buffalo, gazelle, and zebra that depend on the open grasslands in the crater.
Have lunch and ascend back to the rim. The views from the top of the forested crater wall are absolutely breathtaking.
