Arrive in tarangire national park
Upon arrival in Tanzania, you'll leave the city of Arusha and head to Tarangire National Park (journey time of approximately three to four hours). Tarangire is a seasonal park, and the long, dry season (June to October) is the best time to visit, as during these months, the park offers incredible wildlife-viewing opportunities. You can expect to see African big game favourites, including large herds of elephant congregating along the riverbanks and waterholes.

Day 2-4
Explore serengeti national park
Explore serengeti national park
You will spend the full day exploring Serengeti National Park with your private guide. Perched on a hilltop, Kiota Camp offers a bird's-eye view of the Seronera River Valley's abundance. Birds play an important part in Kiota's design and atmosphere. Hand-painted lilac-breasted rollers decorate the bed covers, and every side table holds an ornithology reference and a pair of binoculars.
Every year, over two million wildebeest and zebra migrate north from Serengeti National Park to the Masai Mara Reserve in Kenya. The herds must brave the perilous Mara River, which runs through the Masai Mara National Reserve on the Kenyan and Serengeti National Park on the Tanzanian sides. They face treacherous water currents and dangerous predators as they cross the river in search of greener pastures. With crocodiles lurking in the muddy waters and lions, cheetahs, leopards and hyenas patrolling the river banks, this is a particularly dangerous time to be a wildebeest or a zebra.

Day 5
Serengeti to Ngorongoro Crater tour
Serengeti to Ngorongoro Crater tour
After breakfast, you will wind your way toward Ngorongoro Crater, enjoying more wonderful sights on the way! After an entire afternoon inside the crater, you will drive to your accommodation in Karatu.
Steep volcanic walls conceal Ngorongoro Crater, a pristine wilderness with sweeping savannah, acacia woodland pockets, 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 will quickly find yourself amongst large numbers of wildebeest, zebra, gazelle, and more than 500 bird species. The crater provides you with the best chance of seeing the endangered black rhino, which can sometimes be spotted in the open grasslands.

Day 6
Lake manyara tour to Arusha
Lake manyara tour to Arusha
This morning, you will drive to Lake Manyara National Park—your final destination on this epic safari! Lake Manyara National Park is a small but diverse park 120km west of Arusha. Everything you will see here is on a different scale. It is both compact (one of the narrowest parks in Africa) and epic (the Great Rift Escarpment towers over Lake Manyara’s western boundary). The park’s namesake is a shallow salt lake. It covers a large area of the park, flooding and drying with the seasons, and is home to thousands of wading birds (including flamingos and over 500 other bird species). You may see baboons and elephants in the park’s thick evergreen forest and look out for the tree-climbing lions that have become famous throughout Africa.
You will enjoy a picnic lunch inside the park. After your game drive, we will drop you off at a place you choose, e.g., Arusha, Kilimanjaro International Airport, or Arusha Airport. We hope you have enjoyed your adventure with Lion King Adventures!
