The Big Five Safari

Arusha | Tarangire

Day 1: Moshi/Arusha to Tarangire National Park In the morning, we will pick you up from your hotel in Moshi/Arusha and drive to Tarangire National Park, which is known for its huge baobab trees and large herds of elephants. Its sparse vegetation makes it a beautiful and special location, where up to 300 elephants can be found, looking for underground streams in the dry riverbeds. Migratory wildebeest, zebra and buffalo can also be seen crowding the shrinking lagoons. Here you will enjoy an afternoon game drive with a picnic lunch. Overnight stay at Bougainvillea Safari Lodge.  Best time to visit: During the dry season from July to October.

Ngorongoro Crater | Serengeti

Day 3: Serengeti to Ngorongoro Crater This morning, you’ll catch a glimpse of lions and other predators on their morning hunt during your first game drive. After brunch, you’ll then leave the park and go for the final game drive while on your way to the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater, one of Africa's seven natural wonders! Before dinner is served, enjoy awesome views of the crater below. Overnight stay at Ngorongoro Rhino Lodge. 

Arusha | Kilimanjaro | Lake Manyara

Day 5: Lake Manyara  After breakfast, drive to Lake Manyara National Park, which is located within the Great Rift Valley. Lake Manyara boasts a spectacular setting, famous for its tree-climbing lions and soda-ash lake. The park also provides the perfect introduction to Tanzania’s birdlife. The shores of the lake, encrusted with pink flamingo, attract more than 400 species of birds, many of them waterfowl or migrants. In the afternoon, drive back to Moshi/Arusha or Kilimanjaro Airport.
