Day 1

Arusha to Tarangire National Park

Arusha to Tarangire National Park

Your adventure begins in Arusha, Tanzania's safari capital, where you’ll join your group and set off for Tarangire National Park. The further you drive, the wilder the landscape becomes. See golden grasslands stretch to the horizon, scattered acacias, and, soon enough, the unmistakable silhouettes of baobab trees standing like ancient guardians.

However, Tarangire’s real giants are its elephants - hundreds of them - marching in slow, regal processions or playfully splashing in the river. This park is their kingdom, and you’ll have front-row seats to their daily rituals. Keep your eyes peeled for lions lounging under the trees, graceful giraffes nibbling at treetops, and zebra herds crossing the road like a living mosaic of black and white.

After an exhilarating game drive, you’ll check into a charming lodge where you can relax, sip on a cold drink, and watch the sky turn into a fiery canvas at sunset. The sounds of the African night; distant roars, chirping crickets, and rustling.

Day 2

Serengeti National Park

Serengeti National Park

After breakfast, the journey continues towards Serengeti National Park - a name that stirs the soul of every safari lover. As you drive through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, the scenery shifts from dense forests to sweeping golden plains that stretch as far as the eye can see. This is Serengeti, the land where nature writes its own epic stories.

The afternoon game drive brings you face-to-face with Africa’s most iconic wildlife. Lions basking in the sun, cheetahs poised for the chase, wildebeests moving in endless lines, and leopards draped over tree branches like lazy royalty. If luck is on your side, you might even catch a glimpse of the elusive serval cat, a rare and elegant predator.

As the sun sinks into the horizon, the Serengeti transforms into something almost mythical. The night belongs to the hunters, and from the safety of your lodge, you might hear the distant roar of a lion - a reminder that you’re in the heart of the wild.

Ngorongoro Crater

Along the way, spot early wildlife stirring with the morning light. Descend into the world’s largest intact volcanic caldera, home to a stunning concentration of animals — from grazing zebras and giant tusked elephants to prides of lions and the rare black rhino. Marvel at the crater’s lush forests, open grasslands, and soda lakes shimmering with flamingos, all framed by steep, emerald walls. It’s one of Africa’s most breathtaking natural wonders, offering unforgettable game viewing in a truly unique setting.
