Upon arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) or Arusha Airport (ARK), you will be warmly welcomed by your driver-guide or a company representative. From there, you will be transferred to your accommodation in Arusha.

You will spend the night in this vibrant safari gateway city, relaxing and preparing for the exciting adventure that begins the following day.

After breakfast at your accommodation in Arusha, depart for Tarangire National Park. This park is Tanzania’s third-largest national park and is well known for its large population of elephants. The landscape is dotted with majestic baobab trees, which create a striking backdrop as animals gather beneath them.

Wildlife is often concentrated along the Tarangire River, the only permanent water source in the area, attracting a wide variety of animals throughout the year. During your game drive, you may encounter elephants, lions, leopards, cheetahs, and many other species that inhabit the park.

You will enjoy an exciting game drive with a picnic lunch inside the park. After lunch and further exploration of Tarangire’s beautiful landscapes and wildlife, you will drive to your accommodation for dinner and an overnight stay.

After breakfast, drive to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and descend into the spectacular Ngorongoro Crater for a game drive. The Ngorongoro Crater is one of the largest intact volcanic calderas in the world and is home to more than 25,000 animals living within its boundaries.

This remarkable natural sanctuary offers one of the best wildlife viewing experiences in East Africa and is an excellent place to spot the Big Five—lions, leopards, elephants, buffalo, and the endangered black rhino. The crater’s unique landscape, with its open grasslands, forests, and lakes, supports a rich diversity of wildlife and bird species.

Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Ngorongoro is often considered one of the world’s most extraordinary natural wonders. After an exciting game drive and wildlife viewing experience inside the crater, you will ascend the crater walls and continue your journey to Serengeti National Park, where you will arrive at your accommodation for dinner and an overnight stay.

Early in the morning after breakfast, you will continue exploring the vast Serengeti with its endless plains looking for the big cats. The Serengeti hosts the largest mammal migration in the world and is a popular destination for African safaris. It is the migration for which Serengeti is perhaps most famous. Over a million wildebeest and about 200,000 zebras flow south from the northern hills to the southern plains for the short rains every October and November. They'll then swirl west and north after the long rains in April, May and June. So strong is the ancient instinct to move that no drought, gorge, or crocodile-infested river can hold them back. After lunch, you will drive straight to your accommodation in Karatu for dinner and an overnight stay.

After breakfast at your accommodation, drive to Lake Manyara National Park for an exciting game drive, with a picnic lunch included. The park’s diverse habitats support a wide variety of African wildlife, including one of the continent’s largest concentrations of elephants and the famous tree-climbing lions of Manyara.

You may also encounter large flocks of flamingos feeding on the lake’s algae, along with other animals that inhabit the park’s forests and grasslands. Enjoy lunch at a scenic picnic site before continuing your game drive to take in even more of the park’s incredible wildlife.

In the afternoon, you will drive back to Arusha or to the airport for your onward journey to your next destination, marking the end of your unforgettable safari adventure.
