In the morning, your personal safari guide will collect you from your Arusha accommodations, and we’ll set out for Tarangire National Park along a scenic tarmac road that winds across gently rolling Maasai plains dotted with acacia trees. Along the way, you’ll encounter Maasai locals in their vibrant traditional attire-walking, riding bicycles, herding cattle, or driving donkey carts, adding color and culture to the journey.

Tarangire is famous for its large elephant herds, but the park also teems with wildlife. From the open roof of our state-of-the-art safari jeep, you’ll explore seasonal swamps, savannahs, and the life-giving Tarangire River, spotting zebras, wildebeest, buffalo, giraffes, and more.

Day 3

Lake Manyara National Park

Lake Manyara National Park

After breakfast, we’ll continue your epic safari with a journey to Lake Manyara National Park, a relatively small yet incredibly diverse park located 120 km west of Arusha. The park is named for its shallow soda lake, which covers about 70% of the area and changes with the seasons, attracting thousands of flamingos along with over 500 other bird species.

As we explore, you’ll encounter monkeys, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, buffalo, and elephants, and with a little luck, spot lions lounging high in the trees. Lake Manyara is celebrated for its variety of landscapes-from open grassy plains to primate-filled woodlands and dramatic, baobab-studded cliffs.

After another unforgettable game drive, we’ll return, hearts and cameras full of memories, carrying images of the African wilds that will last a lifetime.

From the highlands, you’ll catch breathtaking views of the Ngorongoro Crater before continuing on to Serengeti National Park, arriving by midday.

The Serengeti, Tanzania’s largest national park, is a mosaic of habitats, from grassy plains and swamps to lakes, savannahs, and rolling hills. After an extensive game drive across this iconic landscape, we’ll make our way to your accommodation for dinner and an overnight stay, soaking in the serenity of the African wilderness.

Day 5

Central Serengeti National Park

Central Serengeti National Park

Today is fully dedicated to exploring the Serengeti on morning and afternoon game drives. This legendary park is home to an incredible abundance of wildlife, including impalas, buffalo, hippos, and crocodiles, but it is perhaps most famous for the Great Migration of wildebeest, zebras, and antelope. The timing of this epic journey is guided by the rains: from November to December, the herds move from the wooded northern regions to the lush southern plains, while during the long rains of April to June, they begin their return north.

Beyond the migrating herds, you may encounter the Serengeti’s resident predators, lions, leopards, and cheetahs, playing out the circle of life in the wild. After a day filled with unforgettable wildlife encounters, we’ll return to your accommodation to relax, enjoy dinner, and spend the night surrounded by the vast, timeless plains.

Main Destination:
Central Serengeti National Park
Best Time To Visit January to February and June to October (Different areas are best at different times)
High Season July to March (The Seronera area is crowded)
Best Weather June to October (Little to no rainfall)

Serengeti to Ngorongoro Crater

After breakfast, we’ll depart the Serengeti and journey toward the Ngorongoro Crater, keeping an eye out for the Big Five—lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino, and leopard—along the way.

This UNESCO World Heritage Site, formed millions of years ago, is a staggering 600 meters deep and spans roughly 260 square kilometers. Home to around 25,000 animals, it offers some of the best game viewing in all of Tanzania. We’ll arrive at the crater rim in time for lunch, then descend into the crater for an unforgettable afternoon of wildlife spotting. Expect to see wildebeests, zebras, gazelles, elephants, and over 500 bird species. With luck, you may even glimpse the rare black rhino amid the tall grasses.

After an afternoon filled with wildlife wonders, we’ll head to your accommodation for dinner and an overnight stay, reflecting on the incredible sights of this unique natural amphitheater.
