7-Day Tanzania Safari through Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire

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

Dinner and overnight stay at a lodge in Arusha.

• Head to Tarangire National Park for a game drive, observing elephants, sometimes at very close range.
• Drive to Larmaku Swamp, a large wetland where you can find elephants and other animals cooling down in the water and sheltering from the sun in the shade of the acacia trees.
• When it comes to encountering wildlife, nothing can be guaranteed, but the chance of seeing large herds of elephants in this park is 99.9%. Tarangire is one of the few areas where you 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.

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

Dinner and overnight stay at Green Hills Lodge, Karatu.

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

Dinner and overnight: Serengeti Kati Kati Tented Camp.

• Drive along the shores of the Seronera River and Mara River, looking for unforgettable moments and a glimpse into the way wild animals live and survive. You may see herds of wildebeests crossing the river, a hunting cheetah, lions, or other predators.
• Keep an eye out for Nile crocodiles, sometimes more than 6 meters long, waiting for animals to come for a drink or attempt a crossing before ambushing them.
• Enjoy 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 across the plains.

Dinner and overnight: Serengeti Kati Kati Tented Camp.

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

Dinner and overnight stay at Green Hills Lodge, Karatu.

• Head out 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.
