Arusha National Park
Your adventure begins with a morning drive to Arusha National Park, a small yet incredibly diverse gem nestled at the foothills of Mount Meru. Upon arrival, enjoy a scenic game drive through lush landscapes ranging from open savannah and montane forests to sparkling lakes filled with flamingos. Keep your eyes peeled for giraffes, zebras, buffaloes, warthogs, waterbucks, and playful colobus monkeys swinging through the treetops.
Later, experience the park from a different perspective on a guided walking safari led by an armed park ranger. This intimate experience allows you to get up close to nature—observe tracks, learn about local flora, and enjoy the sights and sounds of the wilderness. On clear days, you may even catch breathtaking views of Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Meru towering in the distance.
After a rewarding day of exploration, return to your lodge in Arusha for relaxation.

Serengeti National Park

After an early breakfast, depart towards the most famous national park in the world, the Serengeti. The driving itself, although long, is spectacular. This will be an unforgettable moment for anyone seeing it for the first time. As you progress well into the Serengeti, you will see why the name means, in local language, "endless plains". The park has 6,900 sq miles (18,000 sq km) and for most of it, the plains will stretch to the horizon defying your senses and perception of distances. It is the home of the Great Migration and to 2 million wildebeests, hundreds of thousands of zebras and all kinds of antelopes. As for big cats and large predators, it's the place of choice to look out for lions, cheetahs, leopards, hyenas, with many television scenes like the famous River Crossings having been filmed in this park.

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.
