Day 2
Arusha to Tarangire National Park
Arusha to Tarangire National Park
Early morning, after breakfast, we depart for Tarangire National Park. The park is named after the Tarangire River, which runs through it. This "river of warthogs" is the only source of water for wildlife in the region during the Dry season. In places, the vegetation is quite dense, including elephant grass, acacia woodlands and lush groundwater forest. The park is well known for its elephant families, which can often be seen congregating by the river. You may also see giraffe, bushbuck and hartebeest. These animals are closely followed by a range of predators, including lions and leopards. There are more breeding species of birds found in Tarangire National Park than anywhere else on the planet!
After lunch and an extensive game drive, we head for our partner lodges in Karatu for dinner and overnight.

Day 3
Ngorongoro Crater to Serengeti National Park
Ngorongoro Crater to Serengeti National Park
Early in the morning, after breakfast, we depart for the Ngorongoro Crater. The crater was created when a large volcano exploded and collapsed 2 to 3 million years ago. It is famous for both its geological delights and its status as a natural reserve that is home to some of the densest large-mammal populations on the African continent. The drive down into the crater is an adventure in itself, and when you reach the crater floor, you quickly find yourself amongst large numbers of wildebeest, zebra, gazelle, and more than 500 bird species. The crater provides you with the best chance of seeing the endangered black rhino, which can sometimes be spotted in the open grasslands.
After a picnic lunch at Ngorongoro, we ascend the crater rim and then take an en-route game drive to Serengeti National Park. Enter Serengeti late evening at Naabi gate and enjoy an en-route game drive in Seronera while heading to your accommodation.

Day 4
Serengeti National Park to Karatu
Serengeti National Park to Karatu
The Serengeti is truly spectacular. It is famous for its vast open grasslands, which offer excellent wildlife sightings. The Serengeti is Tanzania’s oldest national park and one of the oldest ecosystems on Earth. Its climate and vegetation have remained largely untouched for millions of years. Whilst the Serengeti boasts abundant wildlife, it is perhaps best known for the annual great migration. Vast numbers of wildebeest, accompanied by large numbers of zebra and antelope, move in an annual pattern, constantly seeking fresh grazing. The precise timing of the migration is entirely dependent upon the rainfall patterns each year.
After lunch and an extensive game drive, we head for our partner lodges in Karatu for dinner and overnight.

Day 5
Lake Manyara National Park to Arusha
Lake Manyara National Park to Arusha
After breakfast at our accommodation, we depart for Lake Manyara National Park, an unspoilt paradise best known for its abundance of birds and tree-climbing lions. The dramatic western escarpment of the Rift Valley forms the park’s western border. To the east is the shallow, alkaline Lake Manyara. The lake covers a large area of the park, flooding and drying with the seasons and is home to thousands of flamingos during the rains. On your exploration of the park, you may see giraffe, zebra, wildebeest, buffalo, and elephant, and if you are lucky, lions lounging in the trees.
After lunch and an extensive game drive, we head back to Arusha, where you will be dropped off at the airport in time to catch your flight to the next destination.
