Arusha to Tarangire National Park
After breakfast at the hotel and a short safari briefing, drive to Tarangire National Park for a full-day game drive in the park.
Tarangire National Park is a lovely, quiet park in Northern Tanzania and is located slightly off the main safari route. It is most famous for its elephant migration, birding and authentic safari atmosphere. The majority of travellers to the region either miss out on Tarangire altogether or venture into the park for only a matter of hours, leaving parts of Tarangire virtually untouched.
Your driver will set and prepare the table for a hot meal of soup, bread rolls, the main dish and fruit salad. This will be followed by a glass of wine, tea or coffee. After lunch, continue with the game drive until the evening when you'll drive to the lodge for dinner and your overnight stay.

Tarangire to Serengeti National Park
Serengeti National Park in Central Seronera is well known for its healthy stock of resident wildlife, particularly the "Big Five", named for the 5 most prized trophies taken by hunters.
The Serengeti is believed to hold the largest population of lions in Africa due in part to the abundance of prey species. More than 3,000 lions live in this ecosystem. The reclusive leopards are commonly seen in the Seronera area.
Enjoy the game drive until lunchtime when your driver will set and prepare the table for a hot meal of soup, bread rolls, the main dish and fruit salad. This will be followed by a glass of wine, tea or coffee.
After lunch, your search continues for the big cats and the "Big Five". In the evening, you'll drive to the lodge for dinner and your overnight stay.

During the great migration, a million wildebeest, each one driven by the same ancient rhythm, fulfill its instinctive role in the inescapable cycle of life in the frenzied 3-week bout of territorial conquests and mating.

Day 6
Ngorongoro to Lake Manyara National Park
Ngorongoro to Lake Manyara National Park
This morning, you will gently wind your way back through the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Conservation Area, seeing more animals on the way (it is common to see a journey of giraffes on the lush slopes). You should reach the crater by lunchtime.
When you first see Ngorongoro Crater, it looks like a forgotten world. A pristine wilderness is concealed by the steep volcanic walls, including sweeping savannahs, pockets of acacia woodland, and glistening lakes and swamps. The crater was created when a large volcano exploded and collapsed in on itself two to three million years ago.
The drive down into the crater is an adventure in itself, and when you reach the crater floor, you quickly find yourself amongst large numbers of wildebeest, zebra, gazelle, and more than 500 bird species.
The crater provides the best chance of seeing the endangered black rhino, which can sometimes be spotted in the open grasslands. After an afternoon game drive, you will drive to your accommodation in Karatu.

Lake Manyara National Park to Arusha
Lake Manyara National Park to Arusha
Early in the morning, you will drive to Lake Manyara National Park. Lake Manyara provides the perfect introduction to Tanzania’s birdlife. More than 400 species have been recorded, and even a first-time visitor to Africa can reasonably expect to observe 100 of these in one day.
Inland of the floodplain, a narrow belt of acacia woodland is the favoured haunt of Manyara’s legendary tree-climbing lions and impressively tusked elephants. At lunchtime, your driver will set up and prepare a table using the shade of our car, for a full hot meal that includes soup, bread rolls, a main dish and fruit salad, followed by a glass of wine, tea or coffee.
After lunch, continue with the game drive. Later in the afternoon, drive back to Arusha for a drop-off at the airport.
