Safari summary

This four-day safari adventure begins with your arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport, where you will be warmly greeted by your guide. After a brief introduction and assistance with your luggage, you will be transferred to Arusha, a bustling city known as the gateway to Tanzania’s northern safari circuit. Here, you will have some time to relax and enjoy a meal before embarking on your journey into the wild.

After your time in Arusha, you'll set off for Tarangire National Park, which is about a two-hour drive away. As you travel, you’ll be treated to picturesque views of the Tanzanian countryside, including rolling hills and lush landscapes. Upon entering Tarangire, you will embark on your first game drive. The park is renowned for its large herds of elephants, as well as its impressive baobab trees that dot the landscape. During this initial drive, you’ll have the opportunity to spot various wildlife, including giraffes, zebras, and an array of bird species. After a thrilling afternoon, you will return to your lodge or tented camp for dinner and relaxation, reflecting on your first day in the African wilderness.

Once inside, your afternoon game drive will begin, allowing you to explore the vast savannahs and search for the “Big Five”: lions, leopards, elephants, buffaloes, and rhinos. The Serengeti is famous for its incredible biodiversity and the Great Migration, where millions of wildebeests and zebras move in search of greener pastures.

The third day will be dedicated entirely to exploring the Serengeti. You’ll start with an early morning game drive, taking advantage of the cooler temperatures when animals are most active. Afterward, you’ll enjoy another picnic lunch in the park before continuing your adventure with an afternoon drive.

The Ngorongoro Crater is home to an array of wildlife, including lions, elephants, and the endangered black rhino. After a picnic lunch within the crater, you’ll continue your exploration, taking in the breathtaking landscapes and diverse habitats.

After a full day of wildlife encounters in Ngorongoro, you will ascend out of the crater and return to Arusha. Depending on your flight schedule, you may have some time for last-minute shopping or sightseeing in the city before transferring to Kilimanjaro International Airport for your onward journey. This four-day safari encapsulates the essence of Tanzania, offering unforgettable experiences filled with breathtaking scenery and incredible wildlife encounters in some of the country’s most iconic national parks.
