Day 1

Tarangire National Park

Tarangire National Park

We’ll pick you up from your hotel, and after a brief introduction to your guide and chef, you’ll head out on a scenic two-hour drive to Tarangire National Park—renowned for its strikingly diverse landscape. This park is especially famous for its ancient baobab trees and boasts the highest concentration of elephants in all of Tanzania. It’s a fantastic place to witness the social dynamics of elephant herds up close.

Your game drive will follow the latest wildlife sightings, focusing on areas where predators like lions, cheetahs, and leopards have recently been spotted. Of course, you'll also encounter plenty of herbivores, including giraffes, wildebeest, zebras, and more throughout the park.

Around midday, you’ll stop at the Tarangire River picnic site, where you can enjoy lunch with a stunning view of the river and the animals that gather there. Keep an eye out for cheeky monkeys and baboons—they might try to sneak a bite, but it’s all part of the fun!

Day 2

Serengeti National Park

Serengeti National Park

The Serengeti is vast, spanning approximately 14,750 square kilometres (5,700 square miles). It is world-renowned for the incredible migration of over 1.5 million wildebeest and 250,000 zebras—two species that have formed a remarkable survival alliance.

Our journey will focus on the Seronera region, located at the heart of the Serengeti.

You’ll arrive in the late afternoon and enjoy lunch before heading out on an exciting game drive through Seronera. As the day winds down, you’ll witness the stunning Serengeti sunset while observing wildlife up close. With a bit of luck, you might even catch a glimpse of a predator in action—either hunting or feeding. The day concludes with dinner and an overnight stay at the Seronera campsite.

During the safari, clients can assist with setting up and taking down tents, gathering firewood, helping to prepare and cook meals and keeping the campsite tidy.

Central Serengeti National Park

After an early breakfast, you'll embark on a morning game drive, offering prime opportunities to spot a wide variety of wildlife during the cooler, active hours. By early afternoon, you'll return to the camp for lunch and begin packing up. As you make your way out of the Serengeti, you’ll enjoy a final game drive en route. The journey continues with a scenic two-hour drive to the Ngorongoro Simba Campsite, perched on the rim of the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater.

Day 4

Ngorongoro Crater

Ngorongoro Crater

The Ngorongoro Crater is often regarded as Tanzania’s crown jewel of wildlife parks. Its unique, bowl-shaped landscape not only creates breathtaking scenery but also makes it easier to spot wildlife concentrated on the crater floor.

After an early breakfast, you’ll head to the Ngorongoro viewpoint to take in the surreal, panoramic views—an unforgettable sight. From there, you’ll descend into the crater, setting off on a quest to find the elusive black rhino, one of the rarest animals in the region. While rhinos are more difficult to spot, many other species can be seen with ease due to the crater's enclosed ecosystem. This natural sanctuary is self-sustaining, meaning most animals remain within the crater year-round, eliminating the need for migration.

After lunch, you’ll enjoy a final game drive before ascending the crater walls and beginning your journey back to your hotel in Arusha.

Main Destination:

Best Time To Visit June to October (Wildlife viewing is best)

After enjoying the falls, you’ll take part in a traditional coffee experience. Learn how local coffee is grown, harvested, dried, roasted, and brewed then join in the process by helping to grind and prepare your own cup of freshly made Chagga coffee.
