Safari summary

This is one of our most popular tours as it allows you to spend a very reasonable amount of time in the Serengeti (2 nights) and still have the chance to explore Ngorongoro and Tarangire National Parks. You can do the tour by land fly back from the Serengeti to remove the backtracking.

Itinerary

Day 1 Arrival

Upon arrival at the airport you’ll be met by your driver who will be waiting for you at arrivals. You will drive to your accommodation in Arusha, and on a clear day, you may have views of Kilimanjaro en route. After a long day travelling, you may want to rest, but if you want to keep yourself busy until the evening, we can arrange a city tour or other experiences dependent on your interests.

Mvuli Hotel

Day 2 Tarangire National Park

Tarangire

After having breakfast in your hotel, you will be picked up by your driver guide and depart for Tarangire National Park. Tarangire is one of the largest parks in Tanzania and is located in the Manyara region. It is characterized by the large herds of elephants and tree-climbing lions that call it home, as well as the fascinating baobab trees that are renowned for their mythical powers by some of the local cultures.

Marera Valley Lodge

Day 3:Serengeti National Park

Serengeti

After an early breakfast, depart towards the most famous national park in the world, the Serengeti. The driving itself, although long, is spectacular. This will be an unforgettable moment for anyone seeing it for the first time. As you progress well into the Serengeti, you will see why the name means, in the local language, "endless plains". The park has 6,900 sq miles (18,000 sq km) and for most of it, the plains will stretch to the horizon defying your senses and perception of distances.

Day 4:Serengeti to NCA

Ngorongoro Crater

On this day we suggest a very early wake-up call in order to do an early morning game drive (when the animals are more active) and to see one of the best sunrises you'll ever witness. After the game drive, we will return to the camp for a rewarding brunch and then we'll proceed to Ngorongoro, the 8th Wonder of the Natural World. The crater spreads for 102 sq miles and has 2,000 ft high walls, making it virtually Noah's ark.

Ngorongoro Serena Lodge

Day 5:Ngorongoro Crater to Arusha

Ngorongoro Crater

We will start the day very early and descend into the crater floor for an incredible morning of wildlife viewing in one of the most stunning places on earth. After the game drive, there will be time for a picnic lunch near the beautiful Hippo Lake. After lunch, we will have time for a short game drive then ascend the crater and exit Ngorongoro Conservation Area towards Arusha.
