Itinerary
Arusha to Tarangire National Park
Tarangire
After a safari briefing in the morning and an approximate 2 hour drive you will arrive at the Tarangire National Park. Giant baobab trees, bush savannah and the seasonal marshes add to the wonder of this nature reserve. The Tarangire National Park is considered as one of the best places to view elephants up close. The park is also home to buffaloes, zebras and wildebeests which are always closely followed by a range of predators such as lions.

Lake Manyara
Lake Manyara
After breakfast you will travel from the Tarangire Area to the Lake Manyara National Park. The park is known for its over 400 bird species, primate-filled forests and grassy plains. A large area of the park is covered by the alkaline Lake Manyara, the seasonal breeding grounds for large colonies of flamingos and many more waterfowls. The park is also home to giraffes, hippos, wildebeests, impalas and groups of noisy monkeys and baboons.

Serengeti National Park
Serengeti
After breakfast, you will travel via the cooler highlands towards the southern Serengeti and at midday you will reach the plains of the Serengeti National Park. This park is the largest in Tanzania and has a diversity of habitats and landscapes – short grass plains, savannah, thick bush, swamps and lakes. Bizarre rock formations called kopjes dot the grassy landscape where predators are often seen.
Kumbukumbu Luxury Tented Camp
Full Day Serengeti
Serengeti
The entire day is dedicated to game viewing in the Serengeti National Park. The areas that you visit will depend upon where the migrating herds are. Predators usually follow closely behind the trekking animals and include lions, leopards (in the acacia trees) and cheetahs. During the short rainy season in November and December the herds move from the hills in the north to the plains in the south. During the longer rainy season from April to June they return up north.

Karatu Coffee Walk
Serengeti
On your outward journey to the park gate, you will enjoy some more game viewing before you leave the Serengeti National Park in the early afternoon to continue your journey to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. You will leave the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and drive to Karatu in the Ngorongoro highlands. Here you will join a walk in the coffee plantation to learn more about the cultivation and processing of coffee.

Ngorongoro crater
Ngorongoro Crater
Wake up early and enjoy breakfast at sunrise before setting off toward the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. From there, you'll descend into the vast crater of this ancient collapsed volcano, home to over 25,000 animals—including the iconic Big Five (lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino, and leopard), as well as spotted hyenas, elusive wild dogs. After an exciting game drive and a scenic picnic lunch, you'll ascend from the caldera and journey back to Arusha, arriving in the evening.
