Itinerary
Day 1 – Arusha to Tarangire
Meet your driver-guide and fellow travellers in Arusha and depart for Tarangire National Park. Begin your game drive among enormous baobab trees, open savannah and the Tarangire River ecosystem. The park is particularly famous for elephants, while lions, giraffes, buffaloes, zebras, wildebeests, antelopes and numerous bird species may also be encountered. Enjoy a picnic lunch before continuing your afternoon wildlife exploration.
Accommodation: Public Campsite
Day 2 – Journey to Serengeti
After breakfast, travel through the beautiful landscapes of the Ngorongoro highlands towards Serengeti National Park. As you enter the Serengeti, begin exploring its seemingly endless plains on your first game drive. Your guide will search productive wildlife areas for predators and plains animals as you gradually make your way towards the campsite. Continue exploring until evening.
Accommodation: Serengeti Public Campsite
Day 3 – Full-Day Serengeti Safari
Today is dedicated entirely to the Serengeti. Start early when predators and other wildlife are often particularly active. Rather than simply passing through the park, you have the day to explore different habitats and follow current wildlife activity. Search for prides of lions, cheetahs scanning the open plains, elusive leopards, elephants, giraffes, buffaloes and large concentrations of wildebeests and zebras. Enjoy a picnic lunch in the wilderness
Accommodation: Serengeti Public Campsite
Day 4 – Serengeti to Ngorongoro
Wake early for your final Serengeti morning game drive. This provides another opportunity to find wildlife you may not have encountered during the previous days and enjoy the Serengeti during the cooler morning hours. After further exploration, gradually leave the park and travel towards the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Arrive near the crater rim for dinner and overnight surrounded by the dramatic Ngorongoro highlands.
Accommodation: Simba Public Campsite
Day 5 – Ngorongoro Crater to Arusha
After an early breakfast, descend approximately 600 metres into the spectacular Ngorongoro Crater. Spend the morning exploring its diverse habitats in search of lions, elephants, buffaloes, hippos, wildebeests, zebras, spotted hyenas and many other species. The crater is also one of Northern Tanzania's important habitats for the endangered black rhino. Enjoy a picnic lunch on the crater floor before ascending to the rim. Afterwards, begin the journey back to Arusha,
