Day 1

Where Giants Roam – A Magical Day in Tarangire

Where Giants Roam – A Magical Day in Tarangire

Your adventure begins with an early pick-up from your hotel in Arusha. Settle into your private safari vehicle as you drive toward Tarangire National Park, a landscape dominated by ancient baobab trees, golden savannah, and sweeping views of the Tarangire River.

Once inside the park, the game drive begins — and so does the magic. Massive elephant herds wander the open plains, giraffes nibble on acacias, and if you’re lucky, you might spot lions resting in the shade or even leopards draped over tree limbs. Tarangire is also a haven for bird lovers, boasting over 500 recorded species.

Break for a picnic lunch at a viewpoint inside the park, soaking in the wild beauty all around you.

In the late afternoon, exit the park and head to Mawe Mawe Luxury Lodge, a stylish retreat perched on a hillside overlooking the Rift Valley. Relax in your beautifully designed suite, take a dip in the plunge pool, or simply watch the colors of the sky shift as the sun dips below the horizon.

Main Destination:

Best Time To Visit July to November (Animals come to the Tarangire River)

Day 2

Into the Crater, Onward to the Great Endless Plains

Into the Crater, Onward to the Great Endless Plains

Wake up to birdsong and fresh coffee before setting off toward one of Africa’s greatest wonders — the Ngorongoro Crater.

Descend 600 meters into the world’s largest intact volcanic caldera, a stunning amphitheater of wildlife. Spot hippos, zebras, crowned cranes, and, if lucky, black rhinos and large lion prides that roam this lush ecosystem.

Enjoy a picnic lunch on the crater floor, surrounded by sweeping views and the sounds of nature. In the afternoon, drive across the Ngorongoro highlands toward Serengeti National Park. As forests give way to open plains, wildlife reappears — giraffes, antelope, and predators often show up before you even reach the gate.

By late afternoon, arrive at Moyo Tented Camp, your comfortable bush retreat in Central Serengeti. Unwind in your spacious canvas suite with en-suite facilities, then enjoy a sundowner by the fire as the sun sets on another unforgettable day.

Day 3

Predators & Plains – The Serengeti Revealed

Predators & Plains – The Serengeti Revealed

Wake up to the calls of the wild and set out for a full day of game drives in the Central Serengeti, famed for its incredible concentrations of predators. Explore the Seronera Valley, a year-round wildlife hotspot, where lion prides, leopards in the trees, and massive herds of herbivores roam freely.

For a truly unforgettable start, you may choose to add an optional sunrise hot air balloon safari (at an extra cost), soaring above the plains as wildlife awakens below.

Spend the afternoon tracking elephants at watering holes, watching hippos in muddy pools, or simply soaking in the sheer beauty of the Serengeti. Return to Moyo Tented Camp for a relaxing evening, fine dining, and a luxurious night in the bush.

Sunrise Safari & Fly-Out Over the Wild

Sunrise Safari & Fly-Out Over the Wild

Begin your final day with an early morning game drive, the perfect time to witness the Serengeti bathed in golden light. Watch as predators stir, plains game graze, and the savannah comes to life.

Return to camp for breakfast and check out before your transfer to the nearby Seronera Airstrip. Here, board your scenic flight to either Arusha Airport or Zanzibar International Airport, ending your safari with breathtaking aerial views of the very landscapes you explored up close.
