Your safari begins with a warm welcome in Arusha. After a briefing by your professional guide, depart in your private 4x4 safari vehicle and journey toward Tarangire National Park. This park is a hidden gem on the northern circuit, famous for its ancient baobab trees, massive elephant herds, and vibrant birdlife.

Enjoy a scenic game drive through landscapes dotted with acacias and grassy savannahs. Keep an eye out for lions, giraffes, buffalo, and even leopards, which may be lounging in the trees. The Tarangire River runs through the park and serves as a life source for wildlife during the dry season, creating incredible wildlife viewing opportunities.

By late afternoon, arrive at your mid-range lodge near the park, where you’ll enjoy a hearty dinner and unwind in the comfort of your well-appointed room.

Spend a full day immersing yourself in the magic of the Serengeti. With its expansive savannahs, rocky kopjes, and seasonal rivers, the park offers a striking variety of habitats and abundant wildlife. Your experienced guide will tailor the day’s route based on animal movements and your interests—whether it’s tracking the Big Five, witnessing a hunt, or marveling at the birdlife.

Enjoy a picnic lunch in a scenic spot, and continue your exploration through the afternoon. The Serengeti delivers thrilling sightings around every corner—watch cheetahs sprinting, elephants bathing, or lion prides resting in the shade.

Return to your lodge in the evening, where the sounds of the African night create the perfect backdrop for a restful sleep.

As you leave behind the flat Serengeti plains, the landscape changes dramatically, giving way to forested hills and fertile highlands.

Arrive at your lodge perched on the edge of the crater rim, offering breathtaking views of the Ngorongoro Crater far below. Spend the evening relaxing, enjoying a warm dinner, and preparing for the final highlight of your safari.

Ngorongoro Crater – Arusha End of Tour

Ngorongoro Crater – Arusha End of Tour

After an early breakfast, descend 600 meters into the Ngorongoro Crater, often referred to as Africa’s Eden. This massive caldera, formed by a collapsed volcano, hosts an extraordinary variety of wildlife within its self-contained ecosystem.

On your half-day game drive, you may encounter elephants, lions, zebras, buffalo, hippos, flamingos, jackals, and, with some luck, the rare and endangered black rhino. The lush vegetation, permanent water sources, and dramatic scenery make this one of the most photogenic wildlife areas in the world.

Enjoy a picnic lunch inside the crater, then ascend the crater walls and begin your return journey to Arusha. You'll be dropped off at your hotel or directly at Kilimanjaro International Airport, depending on your travel plans.
