Day 1

Arusha to Tarangire National Park

Arusha to Tarangire National Park

After a hearty breakfast, depart from Arusha and drive toward Tarangire National Park, known for its rolling savannahs and ancient baobab trees. The park is famous for hosting large herds of elephants and diverse wildlife congregating along the Tarangire River — the park’s lifeline during the dry season.

Enjoy a full-day game drive with a picnic lunch in the park. Keep an eye out for lions lounging under acacia trees, elusive leopards, and flocks of colorful birds that make Tarangire a true photographer’s paradise.

As the sun sets, continue to your comfortable lodge in Karatu for dinner and overnight rest.

Day 2

Tarangire to Ndutu

Tarangire to Ndutu

After breakfast, journey toward the legendary Serengeti National Park, traveling through the lush highlands of Karatu and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. As you descend into the vast Serengeti plains, you’ll feel the magic of Africa’s most famous wilderness unfold before you.

Arrive in time for lunch, then head out on an afternoon game drive across the Seronera or Ndutu regions, depending on the season. Witness the endless plains teeming with wildlife — from giraffes and buffalo to lions and cheetahs. If you visit during the calving or migration season, expect breathtaking scenes of wildebeests and zebras on the move.

Return to camp in the evening for a delicious dinner and a peaceful night surrounded by the sounds of the wild.

Day 3

Full Game Drive in Ndutu

Full Game Drive in Ndutu

Rise early for a sunrise game drive — the best time to catch predators in action before the heat of the day. Explore the park’s sweeping grasslands and river valleys in search of the Big Five and countless other wildlife species.

After a mid-morning break and lunch at camp, continue your afternoon exploration. The Serengeti’s birdlife is equally impressive, with ostriches, secretary birds, and eagles soaring above the plains.

In the evening, unwind back at your camp or lodge with a warm meal and stories by the campfire.

Ndutu To Ngorongoro Crater to Arusha

Ndutu To Ngorongoro Crater to Arusha

After an early breakfast, drive to the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the best places in Africa to see the Big Five in a single day. Descend 600 meters to the crater floor for a thrilling game drive surrounded by steep walls and lush grasslands.

Spot elephants, lions, zebras, hippos, and — with some luck — the endangered black rhino. After a scenic picnic lunch inside the crater, begin your journey back to Arusha, arriving in the late afternoon.
