Day 1

Arrive in Arusha and Rest Before the Safari

Arrive in Arusha and Rest Before the Safari

Meet your Gosheni Safaris transfer driver at Kilimanjaro International Airport or Arusha Airport at the confirmed arrival time and travel to Arusha Planet Lodge in Arusha. Your first evening is kept free so you can rest after your flight rather than rush straight into a park. Your safari team will confirm the next morning's collection time, discuss luggage and dietary needs, and answer practical questions about the route. Meals today are at your own expense. If your flight arrives early, enjoy the hotel's surroundings or arrange an optional Arusha activity for an extra cost. This arrival night makes the following three safari days easier to manage. No game drive is scheduled today.

Activities:
  • No wildlife-viewing activities on this day
Accommodation:
Arusha Planet Lodge
  • Mid-range lodge located in Arusha (City)

Day 2

Tarangire Game Drive and Serian Tarangire Camp

Tarangire Game Drive and Serian Tarangire Camp

After breakfast, meet your private Gosheni driver-guide and leave Arusha for Tarangire National Park. Explore woodland, baobab-studded plains and the river habitats that influence wildlife movements through the seasons. Watch patiently for elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, zebras and antelope, while your guide explains behaviour and identifies the birdlife along the route. Enjoy lunch at a permitted picnic site and continue game viewing in your pop-up-roof 4x4. Late in the day, arrive at Serian Tarangire Camp inside the park, part of Acacia Collections. Settle into your tent before dinner. The camp location keeps you close to the bush rather than returning to town after the drive.

Main Destination:
Tarangire National Park
Best Time To Visit July to November (Animals come to the Tarangire River)
High Season June to October (The park is full of visitors)

Early Transfer to Ngorongoro Crater

Early Transfer to Ngorongoro Crater

Depart Serian early with breakfast arranged around the journey, then travel towards Ngorongoro Crater. The morning includes a substantial transfer from Tarangire, so your guide will explain the timing before departure. Descend to the crater floor for a game drive across its grasslands and wetland habitats. Buffaloes, wildebeest, zebras, hippos, hyenas and lions may be encountered; black rhinos are possible but cannot be promised. Stop for a picnic lunch at a designated site, then continue exploring within park time limits. Ascend in the afternoon and travel to Naserian Safari Camp in the Ngorongoro Highlands. Enjoy dinner and rest at this Acacia Collections camp. Carry a warm layer for the early start.
