Day 01

Moshi to Tarangire Among Baobabs and Elephants

  • After breakfast, prepare to leave Moshi in the morning and travel to Tarangire National Park.
  • Marvel at the two-stories-high termite mounds and the "upside-down" giant baobab trees. In addition, the African elephant population, over 300 strong, is a highly remarkable sight. Other animals endemic to Tarangire's savannah include hardy African lions, giraffes, toothy warthogs, ostriches, impalas, agile cheetahs, mongoose, water buffalo, and red-bottomed baboons.
  • After the game drive ends, the guide will transport you to Fanaka Campsite.

Day 02

Scenic Drive to Serengeti via Ngorongoro

  • A delicious breakfast showcasing local and organic products will be served at camp.
  • Take a drive to Serengeti National Park. We will follow the scenic route to Serengeti, allowing for a fantastic bird's-eye view of Ngorongoro Crater. There is a high likelihood of spotting game on the drive. The endless golden savannah, contrasted with the vibrant patterns of zebras, lions, and elephants, makes it easy to understand why the Serengeti is one of the Seven Natural Wonders of Africa.
  • Stop for a picnic lunch on the most famous kopje, a small hill in a generally flat area, allowing visitors to experience the vastness of Serengeti from atop the hill.
  • Proceed further into the Serengeti for a leisurely game drive, where you will likely view herds of giraffes, elephants, and zebra.
  • Spend the night at Nyani (Baboon) Serengeti Camp, where you will fall asleep to the mighty chorus of zebra, lions, and gazelles.

Day 03

Full-Day Game Drive on the Endless Plains

  • After breakfast, continue the journey into the Serengeti's endless plains and start a full day of game driving.
  • View hundreds of diverse animals, including the African mammals that make the park famous - lions, leopards, elephants, cheetahs, and water buffalo - all within a few feet of the jeep.
  • Visitors will also have the chance to view some of the park's lesser-known but equally majestic animals, including elands, hyenas, gazelles, crocodiles, giraffes, zebras, monkeys, baboons, hippos, rhinos, and antelope.
  • Depending on the time of year, visitors will also have the chance to view thousands of zebra and wildebeest on their Great Migration. The hundreds of bird species, endemic and migrating from the Eurasian region, are a special bonus for bird watchers. Guests will enjoy a delicious dinner at the campsite in Seronera, another spot well known for animal sightings.

Day 04

Final Serengeti Game Drive to Ngorongoro Rim

  • The last game drive will take place in Serengeti before we continue to Ngorongoro Crater.
  • We will overnight at Simba Camp, located at the crater's rim, ideal for watching the gorgeous sunset expand over the savannah within the caldera.
  • After watching the sunset, guests can look forward to a delectable dinner made fresh by the cook.

Day 05

Ngorongoro Crater Safari to Lake Manyara

Depart for Ngorongoro Crater early in the morning, as early mornings provide an opportune time to spot game, especially within the "Big 5". The group comprises some of the strongest African animals - the ferocious lion, the mighty elephant, the stealthy leopard, the charging rhino, and the strong water buffalo.

Enjoy a leisurely game drive in the morning and have a picnic lunch near a pond full of hippos inside the crater. We can watch the hippos splash as we enjoy snacks and sandwiches.

The game drive will conclude shortly after lunch, when we will begin our drive to camp.

Overnight at Fanaka Campsite, with dinner included.

Day 06

Lake Manyara Wildlife and Return to Moshi

On the last day of the tour, marvel at the beauty of Lake Manyara National Park.

Enjoy an early breakfast to start the game drive early enough to spot the "Big Five" mammals. Nestled at the base of the Great Rift Valley escarpment, Lake Manyara National Park provides picturesque yet varying scenery. Throughout the day, we will experience the shrubbery of the golden savannah, mighty rivers, and unique wildlife. We will eat our picnic lunch in the heart of the beautiful park.

Soda Lake and the surrounding savannah support a highly diverse ecosystem, leading to the wide array of wildlife found within the park. With over four hundred species of dazzling birds, some of which are migratory, Lake Manyara National Park is a birdwatcher's paradise. Lake Manyara is home to legendary tree-climbing lions, mighty water buffalo, African elephant, giraffe, impala, and a gigantic hippo.

In the late afternoon, leave Manyara and proceed to Moshi to conclude the safari. Guests will enjoy the beautiful scenery as we drive past Maasai bomas, baobab forest, and rolling savannah plains en route to Moshi.
