Itinerary

1. Day 1: Kilimanjaro Airport to Arusha

   • Arrive at the Kilimanjaro Airport and drive to your lodge in Arusha (45-60 minutes) for your first overnight.
   • Your guide will give you a short introduction and explanation of the details of your tour. 

   Dinner and overnight stay at a Lodge in Arusha.

2. Day 2: Tarangire National Park

   • Head to the Tarangire National Park for a game drive in the park, observing elephants, sometimes at a very close range.
   •  Drive to Larmaku Swamp, a large swamp where you can find elephants and other animals cooling down in the water and sheltering for the sun in the shadow of the acacia trees.
   • Regarding encountering wildlife, one can not guarantee anything, but the chance that you will see large herds of elephants in this park is 99.9%. Tarangire is one of the few areas where one can see oryx. You may also be lucky enough to spot a giant tree-climbing python in the acacia woodlands. 

   Dinner and overnight at Green Hills Lodge, Karatu.

3. Day 3: Lake Manyara National Park

   • After breakfast, take your lunch boxes and leave for Lake Manyara National Park for a whole game drive.
   • With a little bit of luck, you will experience a beautiful sunrise over the lake with abundant flamingoes and hopefully spot lions close by. Most animals are making their way down to the river for a much-needed drink, and you can spot tree-climbing lions.

   Dinner and overnight stay at Green Hills Lodge, Karatu.

4. Day 4: Serengeti National Park

   • After an early breakfast, take your lunch boxes and leave for Serengeti National Park. You'll go via the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, a spectacular area with panoramic views over the crater hundreds of meters below.
   • Today is also an adventurous safari day as a large part of this route is straight across the centre of the Serengeti National Park, the area of the Seronera River.

   Dinner and overnight: Serengeti Kati Kati Tented Camp.

5. Day 5: Serengeti National Park

   • Drive along the shores of the Seronera River and Mara River, trying to find unforgettable moments and a glimpse of the way wild animals live and survive. You can see a herd of Wildebeests crossing the river, a hunting cheetah, lion, or other predators.
   • Keep an eye out for Nile Crocodiles (sometimes more than 6 meters long), waiting for animals to come drinking or crossing, and ambush them.
   • Enjoy the areas that are unknown to the greater public and perfect for an experience off the beaten path. Today, your route follows the presence and migration of the animals on the plains.

   Dinner and overnight: Serengeti Kati Kati Tented Camp.

6. Day 6: Ngorongoro Crater

   • After an early breakfast, depart for Ngorongoro Conservation Area.
   • Wind your way down into the caldera, with the most breathtaking views along the way. Armed with your guide’s years of experience and his ‘eagle-eyes, you might even encounter a rhino. The chance of seeing an active pride of lions at close quarters is high on the list of possibilities.
   • At the Hippo Pool, enjoy all the sights and sounds of the ‘laughing’ hippos, enjoying a wallow in the cool water.

   Dinner and overnight stay at Green Hills Lodge, Karatu.

7. Day 7: Arusha/ Kilimanjaro Airport

   • Head for an early morning game drive before breakfast.
   • Depending on your itinerary, drive to Arusha Airport or Kilimanjaro International Airport for your return flight home.
