Arusha / Tarangire National Park / Ngorongoro Highlands

After breakfast, we meet our guide for a short briefing. We head off to Tarangire National Park, known as the land of giants - elephants and baobab trees. We’ll leave Arusha behind and drive to Tarangire National Park for game drive in the park. The landscape is ironically African with open Acacia woodlands and Baobab trees scattered all over the area. It has the greatest concentration of wildlife outside the Serengeti ecosystem. Late afternoon we travel towards the local town of Mto Wa Mbu (Maasai for Mosquito Village – the only place in Tanzania which represents all tribes – 120 ethnic groups). Bananas are the main export in the area, and there are over thirty species of banana in the village, including a red banana which we recommend you give a try! We continue to drive up the Rift Valley escarpment to our lodge.

Ngorongoro Highlands / Serengeti National Park

Our journey continues towards the misty Ngorongoro highlands, passing on the rim of Ngorongoro Crater where we will stop for your first spectacular view of the Crater. The Ngorongoro Crater and surrounding highlands together form one of Africa's most beautiful regions. En route, you can opt to visit a Maasai village near Ngorongoro Crater (The Maasai charge US$30 per person - for your account).
After bidding the Maasai farewell, our adventure now takes us to the Central Serengeti where we enjoy the afternoon with game viewing. The Central area encompasses the world-famous Seronera Valley, which is known for its prime wildlife-viewing opportunities. The Serengeti is renowned for its incredible concentrations of predators and the Great Migration of more than 1,5 million wildebeest and hundreds of thousands of zebras.

Best Time To Visit January to February and June to October (Different areas are best at different times)

Serengeti National Park

For a once in a lifetime experience, we highly recommend an early morning hot air balloon safari (will be for your account) – a unique 'bird's eye' game viewing experience, before landing in the beautiful wilderness and enjoying a full bush-style breakfast, complete with fresh coffee, tea, fruits, and champagne.
Enjoy two full-day game drives to explore more of what the Serengeti offers and to enjoy the greatest safari spectacle in the world – the great African wildebeest migration as massive herds of wildebeest call the Central Serengeti home during this time of the year.

Serengeti National Park / Ngorongoro Crater / Ngorongoro Highlands

An early morning start is required today as we bit the Serengeti farewell and drive to Ngorongoro Crater to enjoy an extended game drive along the crater floor. A steep entry track leads us 600m down to the magnificent Ngorongoro Crater floor (referred to as the Garden of Eden). The crater floor is comprised of several distinct areas, ranging from forest, swamps, lakes, and springs to open grassland with fantastic wildlife. A drive through the forest will allow you to feast your eyes on some of the most spectacular green vegetation you will ever see. Late afternoon drive to the access point followed by a short drive to your lodge.
