What to expect
Day 1: Arusha to Tarangire National Park
Tarangire National Park
10h
After breakfast, depart for Tarangire National Park with picnic lunch for full day game drive. Tanzania’s third largest National park is known for its majestic baobab trees that dot the landscape, dwarfing the animals that feed beneath them. The Tarangire River is the centre piece of this park which is famous for some of the largest herds of elephants in Africa. Here you may see lion, leopard, cheetah, lesser Kudu, buffalo, Oryx, eland, giraffe and zebra. The eventful day comes to an end with a heavy dinner and a good night’s rest in your accommodation.
Day 2: Transit to Serengeti Serengeti National Park
Serengeti National Park
10h
After finishing up a good breakfast, you will head out towards the Serengeti National Park and travel in the midst of the never ending plain grasslands. The Serengeti is arguably the most impressive wildlife sanctuary in the world. You will have an afternoon game drive in the endless plains of the Serengeti for a chance to see the great herds of wildebeest, zebras and gazelles or a pride of lions lounging in the shade. A picnic lunch will be done during the day long game drive itself. The eventful day comes to an end with a heavy dinner and a good night’s rest in your accommodation
Day 3: Full day In Serengeti National Park
Serengeti National Park
8h
Starting your full day game drive by 8 AM after a filling breakfast, you will explore the central portion of the Serengeti National Park today. The legendary Serengeti National Park is the most renowned safari destination for its incredible population of lions and leopards. The central portion of the Serengeti – known as Seronera area is one of the richest wildlife habitats in the park. It features the Seronera River, which provides a valuable water source to this area and therefore attracts wildlife well representative of most of the Serengeti’s species. During the off season of the migration, one must really look out for the many lion prides that thrive in this region. The interactions and survival of these lion prides provide an excellent game viewing experience all year round. Along with a picnic lunch during the full day game drive, the day will come to a close by around 5PM. The long day comes to an end with a heavy dinner and a good night’s rest in your accommodation.
Day 4: Serengeti National Park To Ngorongoro Crater
Ngorongoro Conservation Area
10h
Begin the day with an early breakfast and a final morning game drive in the Serengeti, when wildlife activity is at its peak. This is often the best time to witness lions returning from a hunt or cheetahs scanning the plains. Afterward, depart for the Ngorongoro Conservation Area with an en-route game drive and picnic lunch. This unique area is not only rich in wildlife but also home to the Maasai people, who coexist harmoniously with nature. Arrive at your lodge set on the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater or in the surrounding highlands, where cooler temperatures and sweeping views create a dramatic contrast to the plains below.
Day 5: Ngorongoro Crater to Arusha
Ngorongoro Conservation Area
10h
After breakfast, descend 600 meters into the magnificent Ngorongoro Crater for an unforgettable 5-hour game drive. The crater floor supports an extraordinary concentration of wildlife, including large herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, hippos, and some of Tanzania’s last remaining black rhinos. Predators such as lions, hyenas, and occasionally elusive leopards patrol this natural amphitheater. Enjoy a picnic lunch on the crater floor surrounded by wildlife before ascending in the afternoon and returning to Arusha, arriving by early evening with unforgettable memories of Tanzania’s wild beauty
