Day 1
Arusha - Tarangire National Park
Arusha - Tarangire National Park
We will pick you up from your hotel at 8 am and take you to a very special national park. Tarangire is famous for its diverse landscape with nine different vegetation zones. The park is particularly known for the abundance of ancient baobab trees (the largest trees on the continent) which fill the landscape and dwarf the animals next to them. The river of the park is full of wildlife ranging from a large variety of birds to lions, leopards, zebras, giraffes, buffaloes, antelopes and, of course, elephants. In fact, the park has the largest concentration of elephants in the whole country and provides unique chances to observe the interaction between elephant families. The lunch area is fascinating, boasting an observatory with amazing views of the river and wildlife (with good chances of seeing a hunt while having your picnic). In the afternoon we will still do a game drive before continuing to your accommodation.
Dinner and your overnight stay will be at the lodge.

Day 2
Karatu - Serengeti National Park
Karatu - Serengeti National Park
Following a delightful stay at the lodge, you’ll drive to Serengeti National Park (with a lunch box in hand) for another extraordinary wildlife experience. The Serengeti is renowned as the home of the world's largest animal migration, often referred to as the "Great Migration." Over 1.7 million wildebeest, 500,000 zebras, and 200,000 antelope traverse the Ndutu region of the southern Serengeti, making their way northward through the vast plains, covering 500mi/800km to Kenya's Masai Mara.
This cyclical migration commences in March, following the annual birthing of the calves in Ndutu in February, and concludes with their return in January. This aligns with the rain cycle and the growth of fresh grasses. During this time period, approximately 250,000 wildebeest succumb to thirst, hunger, exhaustion, and predation.
You’ll eat lunch inside the park. Dinner and your overnight stay will be at the camp.

Day 3
Serengeti National Park
Serengeti National Park
After a splendid evening featuring fantastic food and a satisfying breakfast the next morning, you’ll embark on a game drive in the Serengeti. Today you have the option to enhance your experience with a balloon safari (cost included), which will allow you to traverse the expansive Serengeti in the most “off road” way imaginable.
The most notable characteristic of the Serengeti is its vast treeless grassland in the south, adorned with kopjes—granite formations serving as observation posts for predators. The volcanic grasslands here thrive on soils derived from volcanic ash originating from volcanoes near the Grumeti and Mbalageti rivers. The region encompasses substantial riverine forests and small mountain ranges, with the great migration passing through the corridor from May to July. It extends all the way to Lake Victoria.
You’ll eat lunch inside the park. Dinner and your overnight stay will be at the camp.

Ngorongoro Crater - Arusha
Ngorongoro Crater - Arusha
Early in the morning after breakfast, you’ll gather your lunch boxes and embark on a drive to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. We’ll descend into the crater for a captivating game viewing experience. All members of the Big Five—rhino, lion, leopard, buffalo, and elephant—reside within this splendid caldera. The crater is home to a diverse range of wildlife, including zebra, hippo, wildebeest, hyena, and more. A variety of birds, such as flamingoes on the soda lake, geese, storks, and vultures (among others) also populate the region.
Your lunch will be served near the Ngoitoktok swamp, which features a hippo pool. You’ll then continue with your game drive before driving back to Arusha, which will conclude your safari.
