The itinerary

Day 01

Arrival in Arusha

Meet the representative on arrival at Kilimanjaro Airport or Arusha Airport.
Transfer to your accommodation in Arusha for an overnight stay. If you arrive at Kilimanjaro Airport, the drive to the hotel in Arusha will take about 45 minutes, covering a distance of around 50 km.

Day 02

Arusha to Serengeti via Ngorongoro

After breakfast, you will meet an office representative or tour guide for a briefing about your safari, then take a 2-hour drive to Tarangire National Park.
Along the way, take in the scenic views of the grassland plains speckled with ancient baobab trees, nomadic Maasai people in their colourful dresses walking on the roadside, riding bicycles, herding cattle, driving donkey carts, and traditional Maasai houses.
This drive will take you through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area so that you can view the Ngorongoro Crater on the way.
Stop for a picnic lunch on the way, then proceed to the central park area, known as the Seronera area, one of the richest wildlife habitats in the park. It features the Seronera River, which provides a valuable water source to this area and therefore attracts wildlife well representative of most of the Serengeti's species.
Later in the afternoon, drive to the Tented Camp.

Dinner and an overnight stay.

Day 03

Full-Day Serengeti Game Viewing

Wake up early so you can depart for a full day of game viewing, moving with the herds across the plains and exploring the Great Wildebeest Migration in the northern part toward the Mara River. It is an impressive experience to see all those hoofed mammals, followed by predators, migrate in a clockwise circle every year. If you would also like to spot the Big Five animals - lion, elephant, leopard, rhino, and buffalo - in one park, the Serengeti is the place to be.
In the evening, you will drive back to your Tented Camp.

Dinner and an overnight stay.

Day 04

Morning Game Drive and Transfer to Airport

After breakfast, you will proceed with a packed lunch for an early morning game drive between 08:00 and 10:00 hours.
After completing the early game drive along with a picnic lunch, we will branch out and head towards the Ngorongoro Crater rim while enjoying a game drive en route.
You will proceed with the drive to the airport for your return flight.
