Itinerary

1. Day 1: Arusha City to Tarangire National Park

   • We will pick you up from your hotel at 8 am and take you to a very special national park. Tarangire is famous for its diverse landscape with nine different vegetation zones. The park is particularly known for the abundance of Ancient Baobab trees (the largest trees on the continent), which fill the landscape and dwarf the animals next to them. The park's river is full of wildlife, ranging from many birds to lions, leopards, zebras, giraffes, buffaloes, antelopes, and elephants. The park has the largest concentration of elephants in the country and provides unique chances to observe the interaction between elephant families.
   • The lunch area is fascinating, boasting an observatory with amazing river and wildlife views (with good chances of seeing a hunt while having your picnic). We will still do a game drive in the afternoon before continuing to your accommodation.

2. Day 2: Explore Lake Manyara National Park

   • A beautiful short journey across the Great Rift Valley until Lake Manyara National Park for a full-day game drive. Although small in dimension (205 sq. miles), the park has breathtaking scenery. It is well famous for its lush acacia forest, giant figs, mahogany trees, and a growing population of baboons and blue monkeys. Permanent residents of this park also include giraffes, elephants, impalas, and a huge amount of buffaloes. The lake is also home to a large number of hippos. Lake Manyara's landscapes can not be described in words. The game drives along the lake provide stunning photo opportunities of giraffes and buffaloes in the foreground and the lake (and its flamingoes) in the background. 
   • During this day, some extra tours are possible, including a bike tour or a boat excursion. In the afternoon, transfer to the camp for dinner.

3. Day 3: Explore Serengeti National Park

   • After an early breakfast, depart towards the most famous National park in the World, the Serengeti. You will drive up the crater highlands, stopping at the rim for an out-of-this-world view of Ngorongoro Crater. This will be an unforgettable moment for anyone seeing it for the first time. 
   • As you progress well into the Serengeti, you will see why the name means, in Swahili, 'endless plains'. The park has 6,900 sq. miles; for most of it, the plains will stretch to the horizon, defying your senses and perception of distances. It is the home of the Great Migration and to 2 million wildebeests, hundreds of thousands of zebras, and all kinds of antelopes, including the abundant impalas and Thomson's gazelles. As for Big Cats and large predators, it's the place to look out for lions, cheetahs, leopards, and hyenas, with many television scenes like the famous river crossings filmed in this park.

4. Day 3: Game drives in Serengeti national park

   • Full day in the Serengeti National Park. We are completely flexible with your preferences, and this day will be organized according to your wishes. Every day of the safari, your guide will discuss the best times for you, including the game drives and the wake-up time. 
   • For example, on this day, you could do a morning game drive, return to the camp for lunch and relaxation, and finish with an afternoon game drive, or you could do a full-day game drive with a picnic lunch.

5. Day 5: Serengeti NP to Ngorongoro Crater

   • On this day, we suggest waking up very early for an early morning game drive (when the animals are more active) and seeing one of the best sunrises you'll ever witness. 
   • After the game drive, we return to the camp for a rewarding brunch, and then we'll proceed to Ngorongoro, the 8th wonder of the Natural World. The crater spreads for 102 sq. miles and has 2.000 ft high walls, making it virtually Noah's ark and inhabiting almost every species of wildlife indigenous to East Africa. It's one of the rare locations on the continent where you can witness the Black Rhino. The crater has a river, several swamps, a soda lake with a great concentration of flamingos, a forest, and open plains. It's also famous for its elephants, which are the largest in the world, and it has huge tusks. Ngorongoro Crater is truly a Wonder of the Natural World. You will reach Ngorongoro in time for a sundowner.

6. Day 6: Ngorongoro crater to Arusha City

   • We will start the day very early and descend into the crater floor for an incredible morning of wildlife in one of the most stunning places on Earth. 
   • After the game drive, there will be time for a picnic lunch near the beautiful Hippo Lake. After lunch, we will have time for a short game drive, ascend the crater, and exit the Ngorongoro Conservation Area towards Arusha. 
   • We expect to be back in Arusha around 5 pm, although we are flexible in case there is a flight to catch or another situation.
