Day by day
You will be picked up at Kilimanjaro International Airport and transferred to your arranged hotel in Moshi or Arusha town. There, you will meet your guide, who will brief you on your Africa safari tour. You will spend the rest of the day at your own leisure.
After breakfast, your driver will be at your hotel, ready for an approximate 2-hour drive to Tarangire National Park. Giant baobab trees, bush savannah, and seasonal marshes add to the wonder of this nature reserve.
Tarangire National Park is considered one of the best places to view elephants up close. The park is also home to buffaloes, zebras, and wildebeests, which are often closely followed by a range of predators such as lions. Leopards are seen now and then, but cheetahs are rarely spotted.
From the open roof of the safari vehicle, you will be able to absorb the landscape and watch the animals. In the evening, you will reach your lodge inside the park.
After breakfast, you will travel via the cooler highlands towards the southern Serengeti, and by midday, you will reach the plains of Serengeti National Park. This park is the largest in Tanzania and has a diversity of habitats and landscapes - short grass plains, savannah, thick bush, swamps, and lakes.
Bizarre rock formations called kopjes dot the grassy landscape, where predators are often seen. The Serengeti is famous for its yearly migration, when hundreds of thousands of wildebeests and zebras trek in search of fresh grass and water.
On your outward journey to the park gate, you will enjoy more game viewing before leaving Serengeti National Park in the early afternoon to continue your journey to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.
On the way, you can also see a Maasai boma and observe their traditional way of life. You will be staying at a lodge on the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater.
After breakfast, you will descend 600 m into the crater for game viewing. This massive collapsed volcano is home to over 25,000 mammals, ranging from the Big Five - lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino, and leopard - to spotted hyenas, rare warthogs, and some of the more than 500 bird species found in the area.
After an extensive game drive and a picnic lunch at the hippo pool, you will leave the caldera in the late afternoon. You will then drive on to Arusha town.
Our packages include departure-day services. Enjoy breakfast and morning sightseeing in the city, or join us for safaris. If you are returning home, our driver will take you to Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) to catch your flight.
