Day 1
Pickup in Arusha – Tarangire – Mto wa Mbu
Pickup in Arusha – Tarangire – Mto wa Mbu
Your journey begins with an early morning departure from Arusha. You will be picked up at your own arranged accommodation in Arusha City. After two hours on the road, you arrive at the gates of Tarangire National Park, a vast wilderness renowned for its ancient baobab trees and dense populations of elephants.
Once inside the park, your game drive begins across wide, open plains dotted with massive, centuries-old baobabs standing like silent sentinels. Almost immediately, you are likely to see herds of elephants moving in slow, deliberate lines toward the Tarangire River, the park’s life-giving artery. This river never fully dries and draws wildlife from across the region, especially during the dry season. Along the riverbanks, you might spot impalas, zebras, and wildebeests mingling while pairs of lilac-breasted rollers flash their brilliant colors as they dart between tree branches.
After you will head to Mto wa Mbu for overnight.

Day 2
Mto wa Mbu – Central Serengeti
Mto wa Mbu – Central Serengeti
After breakfast you will depart from Mto wa Mbu and head to Serengeti, a journey that takes about 4 – 5 hours. You then arrive at the Central Serengeti, the beating heart of this legendary ecosystem, where wildlife roams in astonishing abundance. You will embark on your first game drive across the Seronera Valley, an area renowned for its high density of predators. Lions are often found resting on rocky kopjes or lazing beneath trees, while leopards drape themselves across low branches, half-hidden by leaves. Cheetahs patrol the open plains, scanning for gazelles, and hyenas trot purposefully across the grasslands in search of scavenging opportunities. Herds of zebras, wildebeests, and topis graze calmly, their numbers almost blending into the horizon.
Later you will head to your campsite for relaxation and overnight.

Central Serengeti – Ngorongoro
Central Serengeti – Ngorongoro
On your final morning in the Serengeti, you rise early once more to savor the stillness of the plains at dawn. The world feels hushed and suspended in golden light as you head out for a last game drive, soaking in the rhythms of this extraordinary landscape. You may spot giraffes silhouetted against the rising sun, or elephants moving in silent procession across the open plains. Lions often lounge on sun-warmed rocks, and cheetahs watch silently from termite mounds, surveying their kingdom one last time before you depart.
After a leisurely mid-morning brunch back at camp, you pack up and begin the journey out of the Central Serengeti, heading towards Ngorongoro.

Day 4
Ngorongoro Crater – Arusha
Ngorongoro Crater – Arusha
The day begins before sunrise as you depart from your camp. As you reach the crater’s edge, the land opens into a breathtaking panorama a vast, circular basin nearly 20 kilometers across. Formed millions of years ago from a collapsed volcano, the Ngorongoro Crater is often called Africa’s Eden for its extraordinary concentration of wildlife in such a compact and self-contained environment.
As you descend the steep crater walls, the air grows warmer and the landscape spreads out like a living tapestry. The open grasslands are dotted with wildebeests, zebras, and gazelles grazing together while ostriches stride across the plains with stately calm.
Later you will have your lunch at a hippo pool, then you will ascend the crater and begin your journey back to Arusha where you will be dropped off at your own arranged accommodation.
