Day 01

Arusha to Tarangire National Park Safari

  • Connect with your tour guide in Arusha to begin the journey to Tarangire National Park, where you may marvel at the large termite mounds and the historic baobab trees.
  • Witness the picturesque scenery and abundant wildlife that help create the tranquil atmosphere of Tarangire National Park. The extraordinary elephant population is a truly wonderful sight. African elephants are the largest land mammals, and adult males can weigh as much as seven tons. Tarangire's diverse wildlife also includes lions, giraffes, warthogs, ostriches, impalas, cheetahs, mongooses, buffaloes, and baboons.
  • As your game drive comes to an end, we will take you to Lake Manyara, where you will have dinner and an overnight stay.

Day 02

Mto wa Mbu through Ngorongoro to Serengeti

  • After a delicious breakfast, we will travel through Ngorongoro to Serengeti National Park. We can take the scenic route to the Serengeti, which allows us to journey close to the Ngorongoro Crater, with an opportunity to spot game along the way. The endless golden savannah, with splotches of colour created by the vegetation and wildlife, makes it easy to understand why the Serengeti is one of the seven natural wonders of Africa.
  • Then, enjoy your picnic lunch on a kopje, a small hill in an otherwise flat area.
  • Afterwards, proceed further into the Serengeti for a leisurely game drive.

Spend the night in Serengeti.

Day 03

Early Serengeti Game Drive to Ngorongoro Crater

  • Begin the day with an early morning game drive in central Serengeti. The savannah is a living landscape, and the air is filled with the melodies of birds as the renewed daylight begins to illuminate the entire area. Your guide will look for prints on the ground to track predators.
  • Afterwards, travel to the Ngorongoro Crater. Dinner and an overnight stay will be provided.

Day 04

Ngorongoro Crater Safari and Return to Arusha

  • After an early morning breakfast, head to the Ngorongoro Crater.
  • Then, enjoy a game drive across the crater and stop for a picnic lunch at a small lake in the park. The lake is home to many hippos and migratory birds, so guests are sure to enjoy the wildlife in the "oasis" created within the crater. There is a high chance of spotting every member of the 'Big 5'. This group includes some of the most powerful animals in Africa - the ferocious lion, the massive elephant, the stealthy leopard, the charging rhino, and the powerful water buffalo. Ngorongoro Crater is truly an amazing place. In addition, there are flocks of graceful flamingos along the Soda Lake, while hungry hawks and vultures circle the sky in search of their next meal from a discarded carcass. Beautiful storks, ibis, and cranes are also common waterbirds in the crater, making this a sight not to miss.
  • After a lovely afternoon of animal sightings, we will eventually begin our journey back to Arusha.
