7-Day Luxury Tanzania Safari with Serengeti and Ngorongoro

• Arrive at Kilimanjaro Airport, drive to Arusha, and stay at the Gran Melia Hotel for dinner and an overnight stay.

• After breakfast, drive from the Gran Melia Hotel to Tarangire National Park, which takes about two hours. This park is spectacular in the dry season, when many migratory wildlife species return to the Tarangire River's permanent waters. Vast herds of wildebeest, zebras, elephants, elands, and oryx gather in Tarangire until the onset of the rains, when they migrate again to good grazing areas.
• In the late afternoon, drive to Tarangire Sopa Lodge for an overnight stay on a bed and breakfast basis.

• Drive to the spectacular Serengeti National Park via Olduvai Gorge, a journey that takes 3 to 4 hours. Olduvai Gorge is an archaeological site in the eastern Serengeti plains, where early human fossils were first discovered. It features a fantastic landscape shaped by the same tectonic forces that created the Great Rift Valley millions of years ago.
• Then, in the late evening, drive to Ole Serai Luxury Lodge for dinner and an overnight stay on a full-board basis.

• After breakfast, venture into the Serengeti's wilderness and explore its breathtaking corners on a full day of game viewing in the park. With a picnic lunch beside you, enjoy exploring this World Heritage Site, where the earth's largest concentration of plain game still roams free.
• In the late evening, return to Ole Serai Luxury Lodge to rest, have dinner, and stay overnight.

• After breakfast, drive to Ngorongoro Crater for a game drive inside the crater. This is the best place in Tanzania to see black rhinos and prides of lions, including the magnificent black-maned males. There are also lots of colourful flamingoes and a variety of water birds. Other game you can see includes leopard, cheetah, hyena, other members of the antelope family, and small mammals. In the late afternoon, drive to Ngorongoro Serena Lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.

Overnight at Ngorongoro Serena Lodge (full board) or similar.

• Drive to Lake Manyara National Park. After having a picnic lunch in Manyara, start a late afternoon game drive, the best time to view animals in this park. As you approach the park from the east, the Rift Valley escarpment looms on the horizon, forming an impressive backdrop to the lake. In the tall trees of the groundwater forest, monkeys leap from branch to branch, and elephants stand in the shade on the escarpment. Other animals frequently seen include zebras, impalas, monkeys, giraffes, buffalos, and hippos.
• Later in the day, drive back to Gran Melia Hotel in Arusha for an overnight stay.

Overnight at Gran Melia Hotel (full board) or similar.

• Enjoy a morning at leisure before your transfer to Kilimanjaro Airport for your flight home.
