Arrival at Kilimanjaro airport from Europe and if necessary (depending on the flight) an overnight stay in Arusha (mount meru game lodge, Kahawa lodge, kili villa lodge or onsea house).

Leave towards Tarangire NP
After breakfast we will meet our Safari guides and 4x4 (Toyota Land cruiser) and you will be briefed on the trip.
We leave towards Tarangire NP which is about 3 hours’ drive (160 km of paved road), to arrive around 11am. With the typical immense baobab trees arranged in a neat pattern, this is our favorite park. We have a picnic in the park and at nightfall we leave this to settle just outside us, with a view of lake Burunge.

Drive to Lake Manyara
If you are willing to get up early, we arrange an early morning hike to the top of the hill from where a beautiful sunrise can be seen. Then we take our breakfast and drive to Lake Manyara. Also, this time the roads are good and after an hour and a half (100 km) we arrive at the Northern gate. After our picnic lunch we leave this park again in the late afternoon.
We go to Karatu where we spend the night in the Ngorongoro rainforest. With a bit of luck, we will see some forest elephants here that can be seen from the balcony regularly. The dinner that is offered to you is rich and delicious, a nice end to the day before you can go to your bungalow to rest.

Descend the legendary Ngorongoro crater
After a very early breakfast we leave Karatu and drive about 10 km further to descend the legendary Ngorongoro crater. The moment when the sun rises above the crater wall is magical. After our picnic in the park, we drive towards Serengeti. It is about 2 hours’ drive (120 km on good but unpaved roads). After a hot shower and dinner you can be covered with the sounds of the savannah. Usually, however, it is very quiet here only the hyenas dare to wake you up, but they never stay around for long.

A full game drive in the beautiful Serengeti central

We stay in the same tent camp again.

More of the central part of Serengeti
To get the best out of a visit to the Serengeti, your trip needs to be carefully planned, and that's what we do. Our guides are experienced and pros who know where to go and what to do. Optionally, you can also consider taking a balloon ride today. However, this must be booked in advance, at 595 USD per person. For more details about how this all works, you can of course always contact us. In the afternoon we return to the lodge in Karatu where we were guests for our usual dinner a little earlier.
