Day 1

Arusha to Tarangire National Park

Arusha to Tarangire National Park

Arusha is the safari capital of the country and a bustling ‘tourism-driven’ city. You will be met by your driver-guide in Arusha or at Arusha Airport. Together, you will begin the transfer to Tarangire National Park to start your private safari game drive. The name of the park originates from the Tarangire River, which crosses the park and is the main source of fresh water for the wildlife. This quiet park is famous for its elephant migration, birdlife, and authentic safari atmosphere. You will enjoy a packed lunch at midday and at the end of the afternoon’s game drive, you will make your way to Africa Safari Lake Manyara. On arrival, you will have time to refresh before finishing the day with dinner under the stars and a good night’s sleep in one of our comfy canvas accommodations.

Best Time To Visit July to November (Animals come to the Tarangire River)

Ngorongoro Crater Magic

Ngorongoro Crater Magic

Be sure to wake up early today, so there is no delay on your descent into the famous Ngorongoro Crater. As soon as you arrive in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, you will be amazed by the beauty around you. Even more so when you arrive at the edge of the crater and take in the amazing view over one of the Natural Wonders of the World. The crater of this inactive volcano is approximately 3 million years old, 20 sq km in size and the largest unbroken volcanic caldera in the world. Due to its natural borders, the wildlife in the crater is amazing. The crater is home to the Big Five and offers a good chance to spot the rare black rhinos. Throw hyenas, zebras, buffalos, and elephants into the mix, and you have the perfect canvas for a pretty awesome safari experience. At the end of the afternoon, you'll go to the next lodge, Africa Safari South Serengeti, for a well-deserved night’s sleep.

Day 3

Northern Serengeti National Park

Northern Serengeti National Park

Today you have a rewarding drive ahead of you, as you make your way from Ndutu in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and into Serengeti National Park. The road will take you through the Maasai homeland, the only tribespeople permitted to live in the Conservation Area. Traditionally nomadic, the Maasai people are rich in culture and can often be seen herding their cattle in brightly colored traditional Maasai robes. They live in complete harmony with the earth, using their long-ingrained family knowledge of plant life as a means of survival. Along the drive, you will be able to spot giraffes, zebras, and other animals. You will drive to the northern section of the Serengeti which is less frequented, allowing for fewer cars on the road and a more ‘exclusive’ safari experience. At the end of the day, you will leave the park. You will spend the night at Africa Safari Maasai Boma in a modern-style version of a traditional Maasai boma.

Main Destination:
Northern 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)
