Day 1

Tarangire National Park

Tarangire National Park

Pick up from Arusha by your driver/guide, then drive to Tarangire for a full day game drive. You will spend the night at the lodge/camp.

Your destination at the park is located slightly off the main safari route. Tarangire National Park is a lovely quiet park in Northern Tanzania that is most famous for its elephant migration, birding, and quiet authentic safari atmosphere. The majority of travelers to the region either miss out on Tarangire altogether or venture into the park for a matter of hours leaving parts of Tarangire virtually untouched.

The park is famous for its huge number of elephants, baobab trees, and tree-climbing lions. Visitors to the park can expect to see any number of residential zebras and wildebeests in addition to the less common animals. Other common animals include waterbuck, giraffe, and olive baboons.

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)
Best Weather June to October (Little rainfall)

Day 2

Serengeti National Park (Seronera)

Serengeti National Park (Seronera)

After having your breakfast at the camp, we depart for Serengeti National Park via Ndutu Area where you will see the great migration.

Tanzania's oldest and most popular national park, also a world heritage site and recently proclaimed a 7th worldwide wonder, the Serengeti is famed for its annual migration, when some six million hooves pound the open plains, as more than 200,000 zebra and 300,000 Thomson's gazelle join the wildebeest’s trek for fresh grazing. Yet even when the migration is quiet, the Serengeti offers arguably the most scintillating game-viewing in Africa: great herds of buffalo, smaller groups of elephant and giraffe, and thousands upon thousands of eland, topi, kongoni, impala, and Grant’s gazelle.

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

Serengeti National Park

Serengeti National Park

After breakfast is a full-day game drive in the central Serengeti, home of big cats, lions, leopards, and cheetah. You will have a picnic for lunch and then go back back to the camp for an evening campfire, shower, and overnight stay.

A million wildebeests… each one driven by the same ancient rhythm, fulfilling its instinctive role in the inescapable cycle of life: a frenzied three-week bout of territorial conquests and mating; survival of the fittest as 40km (25 miles) long columns plunge through crocodile-infested waters on the annual exodus north; replenishing the species in a brief population explosion that produces more than 8,000 calves daily before the 1,000 km (600 miles) pilgrimage begins again.

Day 4

Ngorongoro Crater Tour

Ngorongoro Crater Tour

After breakfast, depart Serengeti and drive to Ngorongoro for a game drive at the Ngorongoro crater. In the late afternoon, we drive back to the lodge.

The jewel in Ngorongoro's crown is a deep, volcanic crater, the largest unflooded and unbroken caldera in the world. About 20kms across, 600 meters deep, and 300 sq km in area, the Ngorongoro Crater is a breathtaking natural wonder. We will visit Lake Magadi, a large but shallow alkaline lake in the southwestern corner, which is one of the main features of the crater. A large number of flamingos, hippos, and other water birds can usually be seen here.

Main Destination:
Ngorongoro Crater
Best Time To Visit June to October (Wildlife viewing is best)
High Season Most of the year – July to March (Expect crowds)
Best Weather June to October (Rainfall is little to none)

Day 5

Lake Manyara National Park - Arusha

Lake Manyara National Park - Arusha

Depart morning game drive at Lake Manyara national park with picnic lunch. Then in the evening, we drive to Arusha, drop back off at your hotel in Arusha booked by your own arrangements.

Manyara provides the perfect introduction to Tanzania’s birdlife. More than 400 species have been recorded, and even a first-time visitor to Africa might reasonably expect to observe 100 of these in one day. Inland of the floodplain, a narrow belt of acacia woodland is the favored haunt of Manyara’s legendary tree-climbing lions and impressively tusked elephants.

Main Destination:
Lake Manyara National Park
Best Time To Visit June to October (Easier to spot animals)
