The itinerary

Day 01

Arusha to Tarangire National Park Safari

In the morning, we will start our journey to Tarangire National Park, where you may marvel at the large termite mounds and historic baobab trees. The picturesque scenery and abundant birdlife 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 an adult African elephant can weigh around eight tons. Tarangire is also home to various animals, including lions, giraffes, warthogs, ostriches, impalas, cheetahs, mongooses, buffaloes, and baboons.
In the evening, after the game drive, we will take you to Mto wa Mbu, where you will have dinner and an overnight stay.

Day 02

Mto wa Mbu to Serengeti via Ngorongoro

Soon after an appetizing breakfast, we will begin our journey to Serengeti National Park via the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. There is an opportunity to spot wildlife along the way. The endless golden savannah, together with varied vegetation types and different mammal species, makes it easy to understand why the Serengeti is one of the seven natural wonders of Africa.
You can enjoy your picnic lunch on a kopje, a small hill in an otherwise flat area.
We will proceed further into the Serengeti for a leisurely game drive. You will spend the night in the Serengeti.

Day 03

Early Game Drive in Serengeti and Transfer to Ngorongoro

We will begin our day with an early morning game drive inside the Serengeti. The savannah is a living landscape, and the air is filled with the melodies of birds as the fresh daylight begins to illuminate the entire landscape.
After lunch, we will continue with a game drive in the Serengeti.
In the evening, we will start our journey to Ngorongoro, where we will have dinner and an overnight stay.

Day 04

Ngorongoro Crater Safari and Return to Arusha

After an early morning breakfast, we will descend into Ngorongoro Crater, as it is a great time to encounter different animals.
On this day, we can enjoy a game drive across the crater and stop for a picnic lunch at the Ngoitokitok picnic site. The Ngoitokitok spring is home to many hippos and migratory birds, so guests are sure to enjoy the view of the area. The Ngorongoro Crater contains 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 certainly an awesome place. A massive volcano once erupted and collapsed, leaving a superbly unbroken crater known as a caldera. In this remarkable crater, you can expect to see playful zebras, lumbering hippos, swift wildebeests, and cackling hyenas.
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 discarded carcasses. 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.
