Arusha to Tarangire and Serian Tarangire Camp
After breakfast, leave Arusha with your private Gosheni driver-guide and travel to Tarangire National Park. Begin wildlife viewing among baobab trees, woodland and open grassland, watching for elephants, giraffes, zebras and the birds along your route. Your guide will choose suitable tracks according to conditions and animal activity, allowing time to watch rather than rush between sightings. Stop for lunch during your day in the park and continue exploring in the afternoon. Stay at Acacia Collections' Serian Tarangire Camp inside the park, where dinner and an evening in the bush await. Wildlife sightings vary with season and conditions.

A second day exploring Tarangire
A second day exploring Tarangire
Spend another day in Tarangire without packing or changing camp. An early departure gives you time to explore in the cooler hours, while your guide can adapt the route to recent wildlife activity and your interests. Look for elephant families, antelope and predators, and take time to understand the smaller animals and birds that are easily overlooked. The river and seasonal water sources influence where animals gather, so the day's route will depend on conditions. Enjoy lunch during your safari, then continue wildlife viewing or return to camp for a break as agreed with your guide. Dinner and a second night are at Serian Tarangire Camp.

Tarangire to Ngorongoro Crater
Tarangire to Ngorongoro Crater
Leave Serian early after breakfast for the road journey to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. This is a substantial transfer day, so your guide will manage departure, park formalities and the crater visit around road conditions and the time available. Descend to the crater floor for an afternoon game drive through grassland and wetland habitats. Search for lions, buffaloes, zebras, hyenas and hippos; a black rhino sighting is possible but cannot be promised. Lunch is included during the day. Ascend before the permitted exit time and continue to Acacia Collections' Naserian Safari Camp in the highlands for dinner and an overnight stay.

Through the highlands to Central Serengeti
After breakfast, travel through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area towards Serengeti National Park. The drive takes much of the day, with changing scenery, park formalities and suitable stops along the way. Once inside the Serengeti, watch for wildlife as you continue towards the central area. Your guide will explain what you see and stop when conditions and the journey allow. Arrive at Acacia Collections' Olkarien Eco Safari Lodge, your base for three consecutive nights. Settle in, enjoy dinner and discuss the next day's game drives. The itinerary explores resident wildlife; migration sightings depend on the herds' location during your visit.

Private game drives in Central Serengeti
Explore Central Serengeti with your private driver-guide, setting out early to look for wildlife during the cooler morning hours. Your route will follow current conditions and sightings rather than a fixed checklist. Search for lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants and grazing herds, while leaving time for photographs and patient observation. Lunch is included, with the choice of a suitable picnic stop or a return to the lodge depending on the day's plan. Continue wildlife viewing in the afternoon before returning to Olkarien Eco Safari Lodge. Staying at the same property gives you time to enjoy the lodge as well as the surrounding wildlife areas.

Included balloon safari and more Serengeti wildlife
Depart before dawn for your included Serengeti hot-air balloon safari. After the pilot's safety briefing, take off when conditions permit and watch the landscape unfold from above. The flight follows the wind, so its route and wildlife sightings cannot be guaranteed. Enjoy the operator's breakfast after landing, then meet your Gosheni guide for further game viewing by private safari vehicle. Lunch and dinner are included, and you return to Olkarien Eco Safari Lodge for your final Serengeti night. Balloon flights depend on weather and operating conditions; any cancellation will be handled under the balloon operator's applicable terms.
