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 the historic baobab trees. The picturesque scenery and abundant wildlife 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 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 journey to Serengeti National Park via the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. There is an opportunity to spot wildlife along the way.

The infinite golden savannah, together with various vegetation types and different kinds of mammal species, makes it easy to understand why the Serengeti is one of the Seven Natural Wonders of Africa. Enjoy your picnic lunch on a kopje, a small hill in a normally 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 birds' melodies as the new daylight illuminates 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 to 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 will be 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. Did you know that it was formed over two million years ago? A massive volcano erupted and collapsed, leaving a superbly unbroken crater called a caldera.

You can expect to see playful zebras, lumbering hippos, rapid wildebeest, and cackling hyenas in this remarkable crater. In addition, there are flocks of graceful flamingos alongside 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 popular water birds in the crater, a sight not to be missed. After a lovely afternoon of animal sightings, we will eventually start our journey back to Arusha.
