Day 01

Arusha National Park Game Drive and Walking Safari

  • Connect with your tour guide in Arusha and begin the program by heading to Arusha National Park. The game drive travels along the shores of Lake Momella and through the bronzed bush, where Ngurduto Crater buffaloes, waterbucks, giraffes, warthogs, zebras, and gazelles reside throughout the year. The elusive leopards and elephants tend to be shy at Arusha, but there is still a chance of spotting them. Renowned for flawless memories, the Northern Circuit Safari offers more than exquisite game drives.
  • Stroll through the park to feel the sensation of Africa's vibrant pulse through the soles of your feet and experience the bush at its core. An armed ranger will accompany you on the walk, guiding you through the luscious forest up to the crystal waterfall and leading you to the area for viewing the black and white colobus monkeys.
  • Afterwards, proceed back to Arusha.

Tarangire National Park and Transfer to Mto wa Mbu

The African elephant is the largest mammal on land, and the herds in the park are a remarkable sight. Tarangire's wildlife includes elephants, lions, giraffes, warthogs, ostriches, impalas, cheetahs, mongooses, buffaloes, and baboons.
  • Then drive to Mto wa Mbu, arriving in the late afternoon. The Northern Circuit safari is indeed a memorable one.

Day 03

Journey to Serengeti National Park

  • Today, continue your journey to Serengeti National Park. It contains the world's largest concentration of wildlife, including zebras, gazelles, lions, wildebeest, elephants, and giraffes. The seasonal migration of the masses of wildebeest is a magnificent sight. Serengeti means "The Land that Moves on Forever," and the splendid plains of savannah validate this.
  • Stop for lunch on a kopje (rock outcropping), then journey further into the park.
  • Once the game drive is over, proceed to Serengeti, where an appetizing dinner and overnight stay will be provided.

Day 04

Early Morning Serengeti Game Drive to Ngorongoro Crater Rim

  • On this day, the early morning game drive is exhilarating. The calls of the animals are clear, and the scents of crisp air linger. Tracks left by predators on the prowl are untouched and could lead us to their den - while splendid rays of orange, pink, and purple begin to emerge on the horizon. The park is home to leopards, cheetahs, buffaloes, elands, wild dogs, crocodiles, monkeys, baboons, hippos, rhinos, and various antelope.
  • A delicious lunch will be served at the park.
  • In the afternoon, move to the Ngorongoro Crater rim.

Day 05

Ngorongoro Crater Game Drive and Transfer to Lake Manyara

  • Today, drive to the Ngorongoro Crater early in the morning.
  • Have a tasty picnic lunch and go on a game drive. A large amount of wildlife, as well as the fauna and flora, are traits that contribute to its title as Africa's Garden of Eden. Due to the lofty structure, few animals migrate in and out of the crater, so there is a big chance of seeing every member of the Big 5 in one day.
  • Encounter vultures, zebras, hippos, wildebeest, and hyenas. The alkaline lake attracts flamingos, geese, and storks. The dedicated, skilled, and experienced guides will ensure that you discover all the glorious wonders of nature on your tour.
  • Next, proceed to Lake Manyara, enjoy dinner, and stay overnight.

Day 06

Lake Manyara Wildlife Viewing and Return to Arusha

  • Explore Lake Manyara National Park, which can only be described as an array of vistas. Giraffes so dark in colouration appear black from a distance, and the tree-climbing lions roam the savannah plains. Monkeys cling to the canopies of the forest, while hippos disguise themselves in the waters of the soda lake. Lake Manyara is a birdwatcher's delight, with over four hundred species.
  • Discover some of the wildlife, including buffaloes, zebras, wildebeest, mongooses, klipspringers, and bushbucks.
  • Enjoy a lovely picnic lunch served in the park. After the game drive, return to Arusha/Kilimanjaro Airport.
