You will be met on arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport by our representative and transferred to Arusha for some well-deserved rest after your long flight. During your transfer or upon arrival at your accommodation, our staff will provide a detailed briefing about your upcoming safari and happily answer any questions you may have. Afterward, you will check in and relax at your lodge, preparing for the exciting adventures ahead.
Depart Arusha after an early breakfast at around 8:00 AM and drive to Tarangire National Park. The park is famous for its large elephant herds, sometimes numbering up to 300, as well as migratory wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, impala, gazelle, hartebeest, and eland grazing along the dry riverbeds. The Silale Swamp is a haven for bird lovers, hosting over 550 species—one of the highest concentrations of breeding birds in any single habitat in the world. Tarangire is also known for its tree-climbing pythons and predators such as lions and leopards. Enjoy a full day of game drives and wildlife viewing with a picnic lunch inside the park. Later in the evening, proceed to Karatu for dinner and overnight.
After breakfast, drive to Serengeti National Park via Olduvai Gorge, one of the world’s most significant paleoanthropological sites, known for its vital contributions to understanding early human evolution. Enjoy a short tour of the museum and a brief history session before having lunch at the site. Continue your journey to Serengeti National Park for an evening game drive across its vast plains, home to lions, leopards, cheetahs, wildebeests, zebras, and a variety of bird species. Dinner and overnight at your lodge in Serengeti, overlooking the breathtaking savannah.
Spend two full days exploring the incredible Serengeti National Park. Rise early to make the most of your game drives as your guide selects the best locations for wildlife viewing depending on the season. Visit the Hippo Pool to watch hippos and crocodiles coexist, observe large prides of lions, and experience the Great Migration surrounded by herds of wildebeest and zebras. Explore the diverse landscapes—from open plains to rocky kopjes that offer panoramic views of the savannah. Expect to encounter elephants, giraffes, zebras, and possibly leopards or cheetahs. You will also have the opportunity to enjoy a walking safari for a closer experience with nature.
Start your day with a once-in-a-lifetime experience — a hot air balloon ride over the Serengeti Plains. Glide silently above the awakening bush as the sun rises, spotting wildlife and taking in breathtaking views of rivers, villages, and vast savannahs. After landing and enjoying breakfast, embark on a game drive along the Sogore River Circuit, renowned for sightings of lions, Thomson gazelles, topis, ostriches, and cheetahs. You may also visit the Serengeti Visitor’s Centre near Seronera Lodge for educational exhibits about the park’s wildlife and ecosystem. In the afternoon, depart for the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, where you’ll enjoy dinner and an overnight stay surrounded by stunning highland landscapes.
After breakfast, take your picnic lunches and descend into the Ngorongoro Crater for a full day of game viewing with your guide. The crater, 670 meters deep and 260 square kilometers wide, is the largest unbroken caldera in the world and a haven for wildlife. Here, you’ll have the opportunity to spot all of the Big Five — lions, elephants, rhinos, leopards, and buffaloes — as well as hippos, cheetahs, antelopes, and spotted hyenas. The crater is also home to an incredible variety of bird species, alongside other animals such as velvet monkeys, jackals, foxes, warthogs, zebras, and hares. Enjoy your picnic lunch in this breathtaking setting before ascending back to the rim. Dinner and overnight at Karatu.
After breakfast, you will be picked up and driven to Lake Manyara National Park with lunch included. This beautiful park is famous for its tree-climbing lions, as well as hippos, elephants, zebras, buffaloes, giraffes, and large troops of baboons and monkeys. Bird enthusiasts will delight in spotting some of the 350 recorded bird species, including the park’s iconic flamingos that line the lake’s shores. For those seeking a unique experience, canoeing on Lake Manyara is available at an additional cost, offering a fresh perspective of the park’s wildlife and scenery.
