Day 2
Tarangire National Park
Tarangire National Park
After a short briefing in the morning at your hotel in Arusha (which will be the pickup point), you will head off in the direction of the Tarangire National Park. The park, with its savannah, baobab trees, seasonal swamps, and lagoons, is home to huge elephant herds. Animals gather at the life-giving Tarangire River, and you should see a selection of mammals ranging from giraffes, bushbucks, and hartebeests to the weird-looking gerenuk and fringe-eared oryx.
The park is also home to buffaloes, zebras, and wildebeests, which are always closely followed by a range of predators such as lions. Leopards are seen now and then, but cheetahs are rarely spotted. From the open roof of the safari vehicle, you will be able to absorb the landscape and watch the animals. In the late afternoon, you will arrive at the lodge.

Day 3
Serengeti National Park
Serengeti National Park
An appetising breakfast will be served at the camp, followed by a drive to the Serengeti National Park. You will take the scenic route to the Serengeti, which allows you to travel near the Ngorongoro Crater. There is a possibility of spotting wildlife along the way. The endless golden savannah with splashes of colour created by the vegetation and wildlife makes it easy to understand why the Serengeti is one of the Seven Natural Wonders of Africa.
You will stop to enjoy your picnic lunch on a kopje (a small hill in a generally flat area). Then, you will proceed further into the Serengeti for a leisurely game drive. You will spend the night at the Friends Serengeti Camp, where comprehensive lodge facilities are available.

Day 4
Ngorongoro Crater
Ngorongoro Crater
After an early breakfast, you will descend the crater on a journey to find the black rhino. Rhinos are the hardest to spot in the beautiful crater, as most animals are easier to spot in this park because it is a crater.
After lunch, you will do a game drive, ascend the crater to the camp, and be dropped off at the hotel.

Day 5
Lake Manyara National Park
Lake Manyara National Park
You'll be picked up from your hotel at 8 am and start a beautiful journey across the Great Rift Valley for a full-day game drive. Although small in size (205 sq miles), the park features breathtaking scenery and is well known for its lush acacia forest, giant figs, mahogany trees, and a growing population of baboons and blue monkeys. Permanent residents of this park include giraffes, elephants, impalas and a huge number of buffalo. The lake is also home to a large number of hippos.
The landscapes of Lake Manyara cannot be described in words. The game drives along the lake provide stunning photo opportunities of giraffes and buffaloes in the foreground and the lake in the background. Some extra tours are possible, including a bike tour or a boat excursion. In the afternoon, you will drive back to Arusha or be dropped off at the airport for your departure flight.
