Day 1

Tarangire national park

Tarangire national park

Tarangire National Park is one of Tanzania’s hidden gems, offering a quieter and more intimate safari experience away from the crowds. Just a few hours from Arusha, the park is known for its iconic baobab trees, large elephant herds, and dramatic seasonal landscapes. The Tarangire River, the park’s lifeline, draws huge numbers of animals during the dry season from June to October, creating one of the greatest wildlife concentrations outside the Serengeti. Elephants are the stars here, with herds of up to 300 roaming the plains or gathering under ancient baobabs. The park is also a paradise for bird lovers, boasting over 500 species, including colorful rollers and the endemic Ashy starling.

Day 2

Serengeti national park

Serengeti national park

Program: After breakfast, you will depart for Serengeti National Park on a game drive and enjoy lunch in a suitable place inside the park. We will continue the game drive activity in the afternoon before reaching the lodge or camp for relaxation, dinner, and an overnight stay.

The great migration is the most significant movement of wildebeest, zebra, and other herbivores gathering for calving season. The best time to visit to spot wildebeest giving birth is from mid-December to early April every year. After the game drives, we will drive to the lodge for dinner and your overnight stay.

In November and December, the animals move from the northern region, dominated by woodlands and hills, to the grassy plains of the south (ndutu Area). During the extended rainy season from April to June, they return to the north. Apart from the migrating herds, you might have the chance to see predators, such as leopards, cheetahs, and lions.

Main Destination:
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)

Day 3

You'll get up early in the morning and enjoy breakfast. After breakfast, you will continue with game drives in Serengeti Park for wildlife sighting. Then, in the afternoon, you'll depart for Karatu Village for an overnight stay at the accommodation located near Ngorongoro.

Although the Serengeti is home to a wide variety of animals, including hippo, buffalo, crocodiles, and impala, it is most known for its massive migratory herds of antelope (half a million), wildebeest (one and a half million), and zebras (two hundred and fifty thousand). Rainfall determines the animals' journey, which changes every year. In addition to the.

Day 4

Lake manyala national park

Lake manyala national park

After breakfast, our safari guide will pick you up from the lodge. Then, you'll depart for Lake Manyara National Park for game drives for wildlife sighting while carrying lunch boxes. Once you finish the game drive, we will transfer you to the Arusha or Kilimanjaro Airport, where the safari ends.

Lake Manyara National Park is a tiny yet varied park. The scale of everything you see here is different. It is both majestic (the Great Rift Escarpment towering over the western limit of Lake Manyara) and compact (this is one of Africa's narrowest parks). A tiny Salt Lake is the park's namesake. Thousands of wading birds, including flamingos and more than 500 other bird species, call it home. It spans a sizable portion of the park and floods and dries with the seasons. You might spot baboons and elephants in the park's dense evergreen forest.
