Day 1
Walking at Arusha National Park
Walking at Arusha National Park
The park has an incredible variety of fauna and flora, which cannot fail to impress. Hollywood also chose this region to film the movie “Hatari” in which Hardy Kruger starred alongside the legendary John Wayne. Your day trip will include a visit to the Ngurdo Crater. Buffaloes, waterbucks, giraffes, warthogs, zebras and baboons can be seen all year round as well as many different bird species. At the Momella Gate, an armed ranger will be waiting for you to accompany you on your walking safari that will give you the chance to experience the wildlife up-close. Only a few other national parks in Tanzania give you such an opportunity and it is something that should not be missed. Lunch will be taken at a picnic place and in the afternoon, you will continue your tour in the safari vehicle through the Arusha National Park. After plenty of time allocated for you to observe the wildlife, we will take you back to Arusha.

Arusha to Tarangire National Park
Arusha to 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.

Day 3
Karatu to Serengeti National Park
Karatu to Serengeti National Park
After an early breakfast, drive through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and on to Serengeti National Park with a game viewing drive en route. Serengeti is undoubtedly the best-known wildlife sanctuary in the world, unequalled for its natural beauty and scientific value, it has the greatest concentration of plains game in Africa. It is the migration for which Serengeti is perhaps most famous. Over a million wildebeest and about 200,000 zebras flow south from the northern hills to the southern plains for the short rains every October and November, and then swirl west and north after the long rains in April, May and June. So strong is the ancient instinct to move that no drought, gorge or crocodile-infested river can hold them back. Serengeti is truly home to the legendary wildebeest migration. The Serengeti National Park is where safari-goers come to truly experience an African safari. Late afternoon, drive to your accommodation for dinner and an overnight stay.

Full Game Drive at Serengeti
Full Game Drive at Serengeti
Waking up in the Serengeti is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Africa's sights, sounds, and scents surround us, and we have a full day of adventure ahead of us in the world's most famous national park. Following breakfast, we will begin our morning game drive in Serengeti National Park, tracing the Big 5. We'll continue on game drives over these endless plains until late afternoon then enjoy our lunchbox at the picnic area. As the day unfolds, the Serengeti's beauties become more apparent. The diverse animals and birds are the "stars of the show," and natural disasters might strike at any time. Of all, the animals don't operate on a timetable, so we may see a lion or a leopard, an elephant or a zebra, a cheetah or an antelope at any point throughout our drives. After a long day of wildlife drives, return to your tented camp for dinner and overnight.
Air Balloon Experience can be arranged upon Request on extra charges.

Day 5
Serengeti to Ngorongoro Crater
Serengeti to Ngorongoro Crater
On this day we suggest a very early wake up in order to do an early morning game drive (when the animals are more active) and see one of the best sunrises you'll ever witness. After the game drive, we return to the camp for a rewarding brunch, and then we'll proceed to Ngorongoro, the 8th wonder of the Natural World. The crater spreads for 102 sq. miles and has 2.000 ft high walls, making it virtually Noah's ark and inhabiting almost every species of wildlife that is indigenous to East Africa. It's one of the very rare locations in the whole continent where you can witness the Black Rhino. The crater has a river, several swamps, a soda lake with a great concentration of flamingos, a forest, and open plains. It's also famous for its elephants which, are the largest in the world and have huge tusks. Ngorongoro Crater is truly a Wonder of the Natural World.
You will reach Ngorongoro in time for a sundowner.
