What to expect

Day 1: Arusha to Lake Tarangire National Park
  1. Tarangire National Park
    8h · Admission ticket included
    After breakfast, you will meet with an office representative for a safari briefing before driving 2 hours to Tarangire National Park.

    Along the route, you'll see breathtaking views of grassland plains dotted with ancient baobab trees, traditional Maasai huts, and livestock herded by nomadic people.

    Tarangire National Park is notable for its old baobab trees, tree climbing pythons, and the biggest concentration of African elephants, lions, leopards, and cheetahs.

    Following a midday picnic lunch, you will resume your afternoon game drive before driving to Migombani Campsite for dinner and an overnight stay.
Day 2: Tarangire to Serengeti National Park
  1. Serengeti National Park
    1 day · Admission ticket included
    Following an early breakfast we'll drive from Migombani Campsite to Serengeti National Park.

    This route will take you through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, allowing you to see the Ngorongoro Crater along the way (a breath-taking view indeed).

    Also, expect to encounter plenty of wildlife during this drive as there is sometimes a significant concentration of game on the southern plains.

    You see, the Serengeti is home to more than just huge creatures. Over 500 different bird species have been identified, from the enormous ostrich and strange secretary bird of the open grassland to the black eagles that swoop gracefully over the savannah. That's what makes this wildlife "sanctuary" magical.

    On the journey, you will stop for a picnic lunch before continuing on with your journey and arriving to Nyani Campsite in the evening for dinner and overnight.
  2. Ngorongoro Crater
    1h · Admission ticket included
    Ngorongoro Conservation Area is a breathtaking natural wonder in northern Tanzania, renowned for its iconic Ngorongoro Crater, the world's largest intact and unfilled volcanic caldera. This vast protected area encompasses a diverse landscape of highlands, savannas, forests, and volcanic plains, teeming with an abundance of wildlife. The crater itself is a sanctuary for a remarkable concentration of animals, including the Big Five: buffalo, elephant, lion, leopard, and rhino.

    Beyond the crater, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area extends across the Serengeti plains, where millions of wildebeest and zebras embark on their annual migration. The area is also home to the semi-nomadic Maasai people, who coexist harmoniously with the wildlife, adding a rich cultural dimension to the region's allure.
Day 3: Serengeti Full Day
  1. Serengeti National Park
    1 day
    We hope you're excited for today! We'll be in the park all day long.

    At dawn, after a light breakfast, we'll set out and begin our journey. We will go on a full-day wildlife drive to explore the Serengeti's stunning surroundings and look for the Big 5. After the spectacular morning game drive, we'll go back to the campsite for a cooked lunch before leaving for yet another breathtaking late afternoon game drive.

    The Serengeti is home to more than just huge creatures. Over 500 different bird species have been identified, from the enormous ostrich and strange secretary bird of the open grassland to the black eagles that swoop gracefully over the savannah. That's what makes this wildlife "sanctuary" magical.

    That being said, we'll keep on looking for wildlife in the Serengeti, then head back to camp for some delicious dinner and a rustic night's rest after a day well spent!
Day 4: Serengeti to Ngorongoro Highlands
  1. Ngorongoro Conservation Area
    8h
    This will be our last day in the Serengeti. We'll say goodbye to the park in style!

    Following breakfast, we'll go with a packed lunch for an early morning game drive that will last for 6 hours. You’ll get to experience what The Serengeti is famous for (stunning beauty, diverse landscapes and amazing wildlife) for one last time.

    Then after we are done with lunch, we’ll head to our campsite, grab our things and then drive to Ngorongoro Conservation Area. We'll be stopping along the way to view for more wildlife viewing.

    We'll then stay at Simba campsite at the rim of the crater for the night.
Day 5: Ngorongoro Crater
  1. Ngorongoro Crater
    8h · Admission ticket included
    Following an early breakfast, we'll descend 600 meters into the crater for our last wildlife viewing.

    This stunning place will offer you almost every species of wildlife indigenous to East Africa, including the rare black rhino(we'll be the luckiest travelers if we spot one).

    Lunch will then be served at the crater's base about lunchtime near a hippo lake and after that, take our last photos in the park and head back to Arusha.
