Day 1
Tarangire National Park
Tarangire National Park
Starting at your accommodation around 8:00 am, you will receive a short briefing about the safari and then depart to the national park. The Tarangire National Park is located South of Lake Manyara. The river from which the park takes its name is the primary source of water for the local wildlife, making it the perfect place to spot large concentrations of animals like elephants (the largest concentration in the country), wildebeests and zebras. Big cats are also frequent in the dry season, and the abundance of baobab trees will surely make it possible for you to collect amazing African postcards. Lunch will take place at a picnic place overlooking the Tarangire River. After more game viewing in the park, we will be driven to your accommodation at Mto wa Mbu area at Migombani Public Campsite for overnight stay.

Day 3
Serengeti National Park
Serengeti National Park
This day tour will have an early start for a good reason. Probably the world's most famous African national park, the Serengeti covers a massive area and hosts a rich and complex ecosystem with noticeable biodiversity. 1.5 million wildebeests, the biggest population of big mammals that still roam the planet, make their migration through the park every year, joined by hundreds of thousands of zebras and gazelles, and giraffes, impalas, warthogs and hippos live permanently in its lands. There are carnivores such as jackals, hyenas, servals and mongooses; however, the most popular animals among visitors, commonly known as the Big Five, are lions, African leopards, African bush elephants, Eastern black rhinoceros and Cape buffaloes. And this is just the beginning. After a picnic lunch and some more game viewing, return to your accommodation for your overnight stay at Pimbi Public Campsite.

Day 5
Ngorongoro Crater
Ngorongoro Crater
Start early in the day by visiting the Ngorongoro Crater, the world’s largest inactive, intact and unfilled volcanic caldera, formed when a huge volcano exploded and collapsed on itself. In the present days, however, far from being a destructive source of hot lava, it’s actually a natural paradise considered one of the Seven Natural Wonders of Africa. It is home to nearly 25 000 large animals, including black rhinoceros, buffaloes, hippos and big cats. The park is also classed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The tour will stop for lunch at a picnic place near a lake, and continue in the afternoon. Your return to Arusha will be scheduled for around 6:00 pm unless circumstances demand changes. Overnight stay at Villa Poa.

Day 6
Relax at Kikuletwa Hot Springs
Relax at Kikuletwa Hot Springs
The hot springs of Kikuletwa, also known as Chemka Hot Springs, are close to the village of Rundugai and are one of the most beautiful places in Tanzania to relax. The small pond is surrounded by palm and fig trees with winding roots. In the morning, blue monkeys can often be observed in the trees, whilst the crystal clear, turquoise water invites you to a refreshing bath. Although they are called hot springs, the water in Kikuletwa is not truly ‘hot’ but refreshing, as the water source is fed by Kilimanjaro itself.
Enjoy a wonderful day in just the way you want, in the sun dozing, chatting with the locals at the small bar, or swimming—you determine the course of this day. At noon we will have a picnic lunch, and in the late afternoon, start your drive back to Arusha where will be the end of your tour.
