6-Day Serengeti Photographic Safari with Ngorongoro Crater

You will arrive at Kilimanjaro International Airport and be met by your personal guide, who will host your safari in Tanzania. You will then be transferred by road to the nearby town of Arusha for your overnight stay.

On arrival at the lodge, located about 30 minutes away, you will check in, refresh, and later enjoy dinner before your overnight stay in a River Cottage. Rivertrees Country Inn is a charming country estate that was once an old coffee farm and still retains the nostalgic air of a well-loved homestead. Spanning ten acres of fertile greenery, the grounds are a natural extension of Mt Meru's sloping foothills and offer a sanctuary for the birds and wildlife indigenous to the area.

Depart from the tented lodge after a very early breakfast, armed with your packed lunches, as you drive to Tarangire National Park, located about 1 hour away. This is Tanzania's sixth-largest national park and is famous for its huge elephant herds, ancient and magnificent baobab trees, tree-climbing African pythons, and countless species of beautiful birds.

You will enjoy a full-day game drive within the park before driving out and heading back to the same lodge for the night. Later, you will take a guided walk ending at the beautiful lakeshore, giving you the chance to stretch your legs and enjoy the amazing nature found in the area.

After reaching North Serengeti, you will spend a half-day enjoying this remote and exclusive part of the country, deep in the Serengeti, before driving a short distance to your luxury seasonal tented camp for the night. It will be a very long day, but one that is worth every kilometre covered.

Set closest to the banks of the Mara River and boasting dramatic views across the wide plains of the northern Serengeti, Mara Under Canvas Camp offers an exclusive window and unparalleled access to the greatest migration on the planet.
