8-Day Tanzania Safari through Tarangire Serengeti and Ngorongoro

• Meet your tour guide on arrival at Kilimanjaro Airport and transfer to your hotel in Arusha. Located beneath the twin peaks of Mt. Meru and Mount Kilimanjaro, Arusha is the gateway to Tanzania's northern circuit of national parks and marks the starting point of your safari into the African bush.
• Set out to explore the vibrant sights and sounds of local life in Arusha.
• Coffee connoisseurs can enjoy popular coffee tours, weaving in and out of the evergreen coffee trees while learning how the beans are nurtured, harvested, dried, and finally roasted to produce the many different blends exported and enjoyed worldwide.

• Enjoy an early start to the day as your guide collects you from Arusha and takes you to Tarangire National Park to begin your safari adventure.
• Situated in Tanzania's Manyara Region, the Tarangire River is the primary source of fresh water for animals migrating into the park from surrounding areas, making wildlife sightings more likely as they stay close to the river.
• Enjoy beautiful sunny weather while watching some of Tanzania's best wildlife, including a 300-strong herd of elephants, wildebeest, zebras, giraffes, eland, and buffalo.
• After an exciting day scouring the bush, your guide will transfer you to your hotel in Tarangire in time for dinner.
• As the African night comes alive, set out on a late-night safari to see nocturnal animals with the aid of your expert guide, including hyenas, leopards, honey badgers, white-tailed mongoose, hippos, and genets.

Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner.

• Early in the morning, depart Tarangire and make your way to the Serengeti for a spectacular afternoon game drive as you begin to track the migrating herds preparing to make the treacherous crossing.
• After an exciting day exploring the heart of the Serengeti, you will be taken back to your accommodation inside the national park to enjoy a gourmet dinner and an early night.

Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner.

• After breakfast, transfer to North Serengeti, following in the footsteps of the Great Migration and spotting herds as they search for the safest place to cross.
• Here on the riverbanks, expect to see wildebeest and other mammals gathered in their thousands as they nervously wait for the first wildebeest to leap. The deep waters are dangerous because of large Nile crocodiles and hungry hippos.

Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner.

• It is an early start to the day as you head out for a full day of game viewing in search of more migration action.
• Located on the border between Tanzania and Kenya, the Mara River is one of the most treacherous migration points. With millions of clattering hooves, crashing waters, and predators waiting on the other side, this is the best place to catch the whirlwind action and enjoy the greatest show on earth.
• Enjoy a full day along the river, exploring the northern and southern banks, watching the build-up of energy among the migrating herds, the first tentative crossings, and finally the amazing crossing of the river.
• The precise timing of the Serengeti wildebeest migration depends entirely on the rainfall patterns each year, so sightings are not guaranteed. However, with the help of expert guides, July to October offers the best chance of catching the migration action.
• Enjoy excellent views of the southern Masai Mara plains to the north and beautiful sunsets to the west.
• After an eventful and emotional day, you will be driven back to your accommodation inside the national park to enjoy a relaxing evening under the starry night sky.

Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner.

• Before leaving North Serengeti, enjoy a morning game drive and get one more chance to catch a glimpse of the migrating herds and the dangers and challenges they face each year in their battle for survival.
• After an action-packed day, your guide will transfer you to Central Serengeti in time for a gourmet dinner at your accommodation.

Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner.

• After an early breakfast, depart with your lunch for a final morning game drive in the Serengeti.
• Few predators hunt during the heat of the day, so early morning is often the best time to observe the thrill of the chase.
• Enjoy your last few moments in Serengeti National Park before making the 3-hour transfer to Ngorongoro Crater.
• Check in to your accommodation in Ngorongoro and settle into your new surroundings.
