What to expect

Day 1: Arusha → Tarangire National Park
  1. Tarangire National Park
    8h
    After breakfast in Arusha, meet your guide for a drive to Tarangire National Park—one of northern Tanzania’s most atmospheric reserves.
    Enjoy a full-day game drive among towering baobab trees and vast herds of elephants, buffalo, and zebra. Keep an eye out for tree-climbing lions and colorful birdlife that thrive along the Tarangire River, a year-round water source.

    Your guide will set up a hot picnic lunch inside the park. Later, as the sun dips over the acacia plains, drive to your luxurious tented camp for dinner and overnight.
Day 2: Tarangire → Serengeti National Park (Central Seronera)
  1. Serengeti National Park
    8h
    After an early breakfast, drive across the Ngorongoro highlands into the legendary Serengeti National Park, home to one of the world’s greatest wildlife spectacles.
    Game drive en route as you enter the vast plains teeming with wildebeest, gazelles, giraffes, and predators like lions and cheetahs.
    Arrive at your camp in the Seronera Valley by afternoon. Enjoy an evening game drive and soak in the golden Serengeti sunset before dinner under the stars.
Day 3: Full Day in Serengeti National Park
  1. Serengeti National Park
    8h
    Spend an entire day exploring the Serengeti plains, following the rhythm of the Great Migration (seasonal from July to October). Watch endless herds of wildebeest and zebra moving across the grasslands while predators stalk nearby.
    After a picnic or hot lunch prepared by your guide, continue searching for the “Big Five.”
    Return to camp in the evening to relax around the bonfire and share stories beneath the African night sky.
Day 4: Serengeti → Ngorongoro Crater
  1. Ngorongoro Conservation Area
    8h
    After breakfast, enjoy a morning game drive as you leave Serengeti for the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Descend 600 meters into the crater — a UNESCO World Heritage Site and natural amphitheater of wildlife.
    Spend the day watching elephants, rhinos, hippos, and flocks of flamingos along Lake Magadi. Lions and hyenas are often seen roaming the crater floor.
    Your guide will prepare a hot lunch beside the hippo pool. Later, ascend to the crater rim and drive to your camp for dinner and overnight.
Day 5: Ngorongoro → Lake Manyara → Arusha
  1. Lake Manyara National Park
    8h
    After breakfast, drive to Lake Manyara National Park, a lush haven famous for its tree-climbing lions and over 400 bird species, including flamingos. Enjoy your final game drive and picnic lunch before returning to Arusha in the late afternoon. You’ll be dropped off at your hotel or Kilimanjaro International Airport for your onward flight.
