Drive from Arusha to Tarangire National Park

After an early breakfast, depart for Tarangire National Park, a spectacular destination named after the Tarangire River that winds through its heart. This life-giving river, often called the “river of warthogs,” serves as the only permanent water source during the dry season, attracting an incredible variety of wildlife. The park’s landscapes range from thick elephant grass and acacia woodlands to lush groundwater forests. Tarangire is famous for its large elephant herds, often seen gathering along the riverbanks. You may also encounter giraffes, bushbucks, and hartebeests, closely followed by predators such as lions and leopards. Bird enthusiasts will be amazed to learn that Tarangire hosts more breeding bird species than any other park on Earth. After enjoying a picnic lunch and an exciting game drive, continue to your luxury partner lodge near the park, where a delicious dinner and a restful night await amid the sounds of the African wilderness.

Day 3

Maramboi to Lake Manyara National Park

Maramboi to Lake Manyara National Park

After an early breakfast, set out for Lake Manyara National Park, a pristine haven renowned for its incredible birdlife and famous tree-climbing lions. The park lies between the towering cliffs of the Great Rift Valley to the west and the shimmering, shallow waters of Lake Manyara to the east. This alkaline lake expands and recedes with the seasons, becoming a vibrant home to thousands of flamingos and other water birds during the rainy months. The park’s name, Manyara, is derived from the Maasai word emanyara, referring to a plant used by the Maasai to build protective fences around their homesteads. As you explore the park’s diverse landscapes—ranging from open savannahs to lush evergreen forests—you may spot giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, buffaloes, elephants, and, with some luck, lions resting gracefully in the trees. After enjoying a picnic lunch and an extensive game drive, continue to your luxury lodge in Karatu, where dinner and a peaceful overnight stay await.

Lake Manyara National Park to Ngorongoro Crater

Lake Manyara National Park to Ngorongoro Crater

After an early breakfast, descend into the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater, a natural wonder nearly 600 meters deep. Formed two to three million years ago when a massive volcano collapsed in on itself, the Crater is now one of Africa’s most remarkable wildlife sanctuaries. Its rich volcanic soil and year-round water supply support one of the densest populations of large mammals on the continent. The descent into the Crater is an adventure in itself, offering panoramic views of this ancient caldera. Once on the Crater floor, you’ll find yourself surrounded by vast herds of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles, along with an impressive array of more than 500 bird species. Keep your eyes peeled for the rare and endangered black rhino, often seen grazing in the open plains. After enjoying lunch and an extensive game drive through this extraordinary ecosystem, continue to your luxury lodge perched on the Crater’s rim for dinner and a restful overnight stay overlooking the magnificent landscape.

After an early breakfast, depart for the world-renowned Serengeti National Park, one of Africa’s most iconic safari destinations. The Serengeti is a breathtaking expanse of endless plains, home to some of the richest wildlife populations on the planet. As Tanzania’s oldest national park and one of Earth’s most ancient ecosystems, its climate and landscapes have remained virtually unchanged for millions of years. The park’s vast grasslands provide ideal conditions for spotting an array of animals, from lions and cheetahs to giraffes, elephants, and countless grazing herds. The Serengeti is especially famous for the Great Migration—a natural spectacle where millions of wildebeests, zebras, and antelopes move in search of greener pastures, following the rhythm of the seasonal rains. After enjoying a picnic lunch and an extensive game drive, continue to your luxury tented lodge for dinner and an overnight stay. You will spend two unforgettable nights immersed in this wilderness.
