Your tour includes visits to Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater, all guided by a professional with extensive knowledge of the region. Enjoy full-board meals and the exclusive use of a private 4x4 Jeep equipped with mineral water, snacks, power sockets, and binoculars. Your accommodation is meticulously selected to ensure a comfortable and memorable stay throughout your safari.


Day 1: Arusha to Tarangire National Park

Your adventure begins with an early morning pick-up from your lodge, setting the stage for a scenic drive to Tarangire National Park. Enjoy a packed lunch as you travel through diverse landscapes, from lush seasonal swamps to expansive savannahs, all framed by the meandering Tarangire River.


Tarangire is renowned for its impressive elephant herds, and you’ll have the opportunity to witness these majestic creatures up close. The park's varied terrain also offers excellent chances to spot other wildlife, such as lions on the hunt and leopards lounging in the trees. After a rewarding day of game drives, you'll return to your lodge to unwind, enjoy a delicious dinner, and spend the night in comfort.


Day 2: Serengeti National Park

After breakfast, you’ll embark on a journey to Serengeti National Park, enjoying a game drive en route. Lunch will be served at a scenic spot within the park. Continue your game drive in the afternoon as you make your way to your lodge, where you'll stay overnight.


The Serengeti is famous for its vast herds of wildebeest, zebras, and antelope that migrate across its plains. Keep an eye out for resident predators, including leopards, cheetahs, and lions, as they engage in the dynamic interactions of the circle of life. Your day will be filled with incredible wildlife encounters and stunning landscapes.


Day 3: Serengeti National Park to Karatu

Begin your day with an early morning game drive in Serengeti National Park, taking advantage of the serene dawn to witness wildlife in their most active state. After your exhilarating drive, you will head towards Karatu in the afternoon.


Your accommodation for the night is located near the Ngorongoro Crater, providing a perfect base for the next day’s adventure. Early the following morning, you'll descend into the Ngorongoro Crater for a day of exceptional game viewing. The early hours are ideal for spotting wildlife, as animals are more active and easier to observe before the heat of the day sets in.


Day 4: Game Drive in Ngorongoro Crater

After a hearty breakfast, you'll head to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area for an immersive game drive within the Ngorongoro Crater, with packed lunch boxes for your convenience.


The Ngorongoro Crater, the world's largest intact volcanic caldera, is renowned for its breathtaking landscapes and rich biodiversity. Home to around 30,000 large mammals year-round—including buffaloes, lions, elephants, cheetahs, and rhinos—the crater offers exceptional wildlife viewing. Additionally, the diverse bird species, such as flamingos, eagles, and buzzards, add to the area’s allure. Prepare for a day of incredible animal encounters and stunning scenery in this natural wonder.


Day 5: Lake Manyara National Park and Transfer to Arusha

After breakfast, you’ll head to Lake Manyara National Park for a final day of exploration. Enjoy a game drive through the park with packed lunch boxes provided for your convenience.


Lake Manyara is renowned for its unique tree-climbing lions, which can often be seen lounging among the branches. The park also hosts large troops of baboons that are frequently spotted along the forested roads. After your game drive, you’ll be transferred back to Arusha, where your safari adventure concludes.**Important to Know**
