Day 1

Arusha to Tarangire National Park

Arusha to Tarangire National Park

After arrival at either Kilimanjaro Airport or Arusha Airport, depart to Tarangire National Park for a full-day game drive with your packed picnic lunch. The park is located slightly off the main safari route. Tarangire National Park is a lovely quiet park in Northern Tanzania. The park has some of the highest population densities of elephants compared to anywhere in Tanzania. Its sparse vegetation, strewn with baobab and acacia trees, makes it a beautiful and distinctive location to visit, venture into the park for a matter of hours leaving parts of Tarangire virtually untouched.

After an extensive game drive, you will be driving to your accommodation inside the Tarangire National Park for your dinner and overnight stay waiting for your adventure to proceed the following day.

Day 2

Ngorongoro Crater to Serengeti National Park

Ngorongoro Crater to Serengeti National Park

After an early morning breakfast at your accommodation, you will be driving straight to Ngorongoro Crater, another must-see destination in Tanzania. The world-famous Ngorongoro Crater is located in northern Tanzania. Thought to be the result of a volcanic explosion, this fertile valley is one the most beautiful natural wildlife safari destinations in the world and has even been named one of Africa’s Seven Natural Wonders. The enclosed nature of the crater has created an ecosystem all of its own, resulting in some of the best opportunities to spot game. It also has the densest known population of lions. Buffalo, elephants, leopards, and rhinos can also be seen here, in addition to a host of other well-loved African classics like the ostrich, zebra, cheetah, wildebeest, gazelle, and even hippo.

After the extensive game viewing in the crater, we will be driving to Central Serengeti for your dinner and overnight stay waiting for your epic adventure to continue on the following day.

Main Destination:
Ngorongoro Crater
Best Time To Visit June to October (Wildlife viewing is best)

Day 3

Explore Serengeti National Park

Explore Serengeti National Park

Enjoy your breakfast in the Central Serengeti before heading out for the game drive. The Great Migration is the most dramatic wildlife spectacle on the planet and there is only one place in the world where it takes place: Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. Every year, millions of wildebeest, zebra and gazelle make their way from the Ndutu region in the south of the Serengeti. They move across perilous river crossings and huge expanses of grassy plains, to reach fresh green grass that comes with seasonal rains as they move northwards. For many months of the year, the vast herds can be seen in different parts of the Serengeti: calving at the start of the year, river crossings in the middle of the year, and the return journey from the Masai Mara at year’s end. This makes the park open to visitors throughout the year.

After a full afternoon in the Serengeti, you'll be driving to Ngorongoro Conservation Area for your dinner and an overnight stay. Proceed with your trip the following day.

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)
Best Weather June to October (Little to no rainfall)
