Day by day
You will be picked up at Kilimanjaro International Airport and transferred to your arranged hotel in Moshi or Arusha town. You will meet your guide, who will brief you on your Africa safari tour. You will spend the rest of your time at your own leisure and relaxation.
This day takes you to Tarangire, the home of elephants, where you will definitely see many elephants throughout the park. It is also a great park to spot wild cats, as lions, cheetahs, and leopards are all present, along with various herbivores. The game drive will take you close to the animals, and you will enjoy a mid-day lunch at the Tarangire River Picnic Site, where small monkeys may try to scare you away from your meal.
After breakfast, we head towards Serengeti National Park via the beautiful Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Leaving the highlands behind, we descend into the heart of wild Africa - Serengeti National Park - with its endless plains rolling into the distance as far as the eye can see.
We head 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 representative of most of the Serengeti's species. We arrive in time for lunch and enjoy an afternoon game drive in Serengeti National Park. Dinner and overnight at a camp.
After breakfast, you will depart for Serengeti National Park. You will do an early game drive to see the sunrise, then head out to explore various parts of the park depending on where the animals have migrated. Expect to see many wildebeest and zebras in a strategic partnership for their survival. A lot of big cats are also present in the park, and if you are lucky enough, you may witness a hunt in action.
After an early breakfast, we will embark on a game drive to various parts of the park. We will then return to the camp for lunch and prepare for the journey back to Ngorongoro, where we will spend the night at Simba campsite, right on the crater rim, ready for an early descent in the morning.
After an early breakfast, we will descend into the crater on a journey to find the black rhinos. Rhinos are the hardest animals to spot in the beautiful crater, while most other animals are easier to see due to it being a floor crater. After lunch, we will continue with a game drive and then ascend the crater to camp. You will spend time at the Sunbright campsite to relax.
After an early breakfast, we will go to Lake Manyara National Park. We will do a game drive, and you will be viewing plenty of birds, including the famous flamingos on the lake. If you are lucky enough, you can spot the famous tree-climbing lions.
We will visit the hippo pool for a close look at the hippos, and we will also spend time at the hot spring. During the drive, other animals you will be able to see include buffalo, wildebeest, warthogs, vultures, eagles, and monkeys. Later, return to Arusha or Moshi to your accommodation.
Our driver will take you to the airport, from where you will take your return flight home.
