Day 1

From the Coast to the Wild, Dar Es Salaam to Tarangire

From the Coast to the Wild, Dar Es Salaam to Tarangire

Your adventure begins at Dar es Salaam Airport, where you'll board a scenic flight to Arusha, watching Tanzania's breathtaking landscape unfold beneath you as the coastline gives way to the vast, golden African interior. Upon landing, your private driver-guide will be waiting to welcome you and head straight for Tarangire National Park, no wasted time, no long road transfers, just pure adventure from the very first hour.

Tarangire is a magnificent introduction to Tanzania's wild soul, with ancient baobab trees rising from rust-red earth, massive elephant herds moving freely across open plains, and a remarkable diversity of wildlife at every turn. Enjoy a bush lunch inside the park before continuing with afternoon game drives through the park's diverse ecosystems. As the sun begins to set, drive to the charming highland town of Karatu for a warm dinner and a restful overnight stay.

Main Destination:
Tarangire National Park
Best Time To Visit July to November (Animals come to the Tarangire River)

Day 2

A Wonder of the World & the Endless Plains, Ngorongoro to Serengeti

A Wonder of the World & the Endless Plains, Ngorongoro to Serengeti

Rise early for one of the most spectacular days any safari can offer. After a quick breakfast, descend into the legendary Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Africa's Seven Natural Wonders. The ancient volcanic floor is home to an extraordinary concentration of wildlife, lions, elephants, black rhinos, hippos, zebras, and thousands of flamingos painting the soda lake pink. Every single moment inside the crater is a photograph waiting to happen.

A crater-floor picnic lunch keeps the magic alive before ascending the rim and continuing westward into the iconic Serengeti National Park, where the golden plains stretch endlessly toward the horizon, and the greatest wildlife theatre on earth never closes. Arrive at your tented camp in time for a spectacular sunset, a memorable dinner, and your first night sleeping in the heart of the Serengeti.

Day 3

The Serengeti Belongs to you, Full day in Serengeti

The Serengeti Belongs to you, Full day in Serengeti

There is no morning on earth quite like a Serengeti morning. Rise with the sun and head straight out on an early morning game drive, the most magical time of day, when predators are active, the light is golden, and the plains feel yours entirely. Lions on the prowl, cheetahs poised on termite mounds, leopards draped lazily over acacia branches, the Serengeti delivers at every turn, all day long.

Lunch is enjoyed in the bush before continuing on an en route game drive as you begin the scenic journey back toward Karatu, because in the Serengeti, even the drive out is an adventure. Arrive at your lodge on the Karatu Escarpment in time for sundowner drinks, a superb dinner, and one final night under the stars of Tanzania.

Main Destination:

Best Time To Visit January to February and June to October (Different areas are best at different times)
