Day by day
Upon arrival at the airport, meet your driver and get picked up.
Transfer to Arusha town to your designated hotel for an overnight stay.
In the morning, get picked up from your hotel and, after a short briefing, head to Tarangire National Park. The park, with its endless savannah trees, impressive baobab trees, and seasonal marshes, is also home to the largest elephant herds in northern Tanzania.
In addition to elephants, you are likely to spot giraffes, buffaloes, lions, zebras, gnus, and other types of antelopes and gazelles.
Upon arrival at the park, your driver will open the roof of the vehicle, and the extensive wildlife viewing will begin.
Lunch will be taken at a picnic spot, and in the afternoon, see more of this amazing and beautiful park.
In the late afternoon, arrive at the Lake Burunge Tented Camp, located outside the park, for your overnight stay.
After breakfast, depart towards the Rift Valley, passing through Mto Wa Mbu and Karatu in the cooler regions of the crater highlands.
Enter the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and stop for a short look into the crater from a viewing platform.
Continue your journey around the crater and descend the other side, enjoying your free "African massage" on the bumpy road, passing Masai villages on your way to Serengeti National Park.
At the Naabi Hill entrance gate, walk to a viewpoint with spectacular views across the plains of the Serengeti savannah.
Continue towards the Seronera Area in the central part of the Serengeti. The park offers a multitude of wildlife, including the "Big Five": lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino, and leopard.
Late in the afternoon, arrive at the Kati Kati Tented Camp. The camp is in a secluded area, in the heart of the bush, and the stars at night are breathtaking.
Lunch will be enjoyed en route.
Following breakfast, spend the whole day on a game drive in Serengeti National Park and have lunch at a picnic spot en route.
Depending on the time of year, you might even have the chance to witness the great migration, with hundreds of thousands of wildebeests, zebras, and Thompson gazelles.
Your guide will try his utmost to find the animals and will make sure that you can see them from the best spot in the national park.
Naturally, the migration also attracts predators, and with luck, you might see a kill in action.
Spend another night at the Kati Kati Tented Camp.
After breakfast, check out from your lodge and depart with your picnic lunch, enjoying a game drive en route to Karatu village.
Spend your overnight stay at Farm House Lodge.
After breakfast at daybreak, start early on your outward journey to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.
On reaching the crater's edge, the 19 km diameter caldera opens up before you in all its stunning glory, and you will descend into the crater on an adventurous trail. This World Heritage Site is seasonally home to over 25,000 animals, including a wide variety of birds, hyenas, and the "Big Five": lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino, and leopard.
Exit the crater on a different ascent road and, after a relaxing lunch, return to Arusha, arriving around noon before heading to the airport.
