Itineraries

On this exclusive 6-day tour, you'll explore Tanzania's most iconic parks in the northern safari circuit. Experience the diverse landscapes and wildlife of Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara National Park, and the Serengeti National Park, where you'll enjoy a luxurious 2-night stay. Conclude your adventure with a visit to the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater, renowned for its stunning scenery and rich wildlife.

Day 1: Tarangire National Park

We will pick you up from your hotel at 8:00 am and head to the remarkable Tarangire National Park. Renowned for its diverse landscapes, the park features nine distinct vegetation zones and is celebrated for its impressive baobab trees, the largest trees on the continent. These ancient giants create a stunning backdrop and dwarf the wildlife that roams beneath them. Tarangire's river is teeming with life, offering excellent opportunities to see a wide range of species including lions, leopards, zebras, giraffes, buffaloes, antelopes, and the park’s highlight—its large elephant herds. The park boasts the highest concentration of elephants in Tanzania, providing a rare chance to observe these magnificent creatures and their interactions up close.

Enjoy a scenic picnic lunch at a viewpoint with panoramic vistas of the river and surrounding wildlife, where you might even witness a thrilling hunt. After lunch, embark on an afternoon game drive to further explore the park's rich biodiversity. We will then proceed to your accommodation for a relaxing evening.

Day 2: Lake Manyara National Park

Embark on a scenic drive across the Great Rift Valley to Lake Manyara National Park for a full day of exploration. Despite its compact size (205 square miles), the park is renowned for its dramatic landscapes and diverse ecosystems. You'll be captivated by the lush acacia forests, towering fig and mahogany trees, and a vibrant population of baboons and blue monkeys. The park is also home to impressive herds of giraffes, elephants, impalas, and buffaloes, while the lake itself is teeming with hippos and attracts a variety of bird species, including flamingos.

The striking landscapes of Lake Manyara offer unparalleled photo opportunities, with giraffes and buffaloes often set against the backdrop of the shimmering lake and its resident flamingos. During your visit, you may choose to enhance your experience with optional activities such as a bike tour or a boat excursion on the lake. In the afternoon, return to your camp for a delightful dinner and relaxation.

Day 3: Serengeti National Park

After an early breakfast, set off for the world-renowned Serengeti National Park. Your journey will take you through the scenic crater highlands, where you'll make a brief stop at the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater for an unforgettable panoramic view. This awe-inspiring sight is a highlight for first-time visitors.

As you enter the Serengeti, aptly named "endless plains" in Swahili, you'll be greeted by vast expanses that stretch to the horizon. Covering an area of 6,900 square miles, the Serengeti’s sweeping plains are home to the Great Migration, where millions of wildebeests, hundreds of thousands of zebras, and numerous antelope species—including impalas and Thomson’s gazelles—roam freely. The park is also a prime location for spotting big cats and large predators, including lions, cheetahs, leopards, and hyenas. Many iconic wildlife scenes, such as the dramatic River Crossings, have been captured here.

You’ll have the option to adjust your accommodation level to either downgrade or upgrade according to your preferences. Enjoy an evening game drive and soak in the unparalleled beauty and wildlife of the Serengeti.

Day 4: Serengeti National Park

Spend the entire day immersed in the wonders of Serengeti National Park. We offer complete flexibility to tailor the day to your preferences. Your guide will work with you to determine the best schedule for your activities, including game drives and wake-up times.

For instance, you might choose to embark on a morning game drive, return to your camp for a leisurely lunch and relaxation, and then set out again for an afternoon game drive. Alternatively, you could opt for a full-day game drive with a picnic lunch in the park, allowing you to explore more of the Serengeti’s vast landscapes and observe its incredible wildlife at your own pace. Enjoy the freedom to customize your safari experience based on your interests and desires.

Day 5: Serengeti National Park to Ngorongoro Crater

On this day, we recommend an early wake-up to embark on a pre-dawn game drive, capturing the magical sunrise and witnessing the Serengeti’s wildlife at its most active. After your morning adventure, return to camp for a satisfying brunch before we continue our journey to Ngorongoro Crater, often hailed as the 8th Wonder of the Natural World.

Ngorongoro Crater, stretching across 102 square miles and encased by 2,000-foot-high walls, serves as a unique wildlife sanctuary. This vast caldera is home to nearly every species indigenous to East Africa, including the elusive black rhino. Within the crater, you'll find a diverse array of habitats: a river, several swamps, a soda lake teeming with flamingos, lush forests, and expansive plains. The crater is also renowned for its impressive elephants, which are some of the largest and most tusk-heavy in the world. Ngorongoro Crater offers an exceptional opportunity to see a remarkable concentration of wildlife in a breathtaking setting.

Day 6: Ngorongoro Crater

Start your day with an early descent into the Ngorongoro Crater for a spectacular morning of wildlife viewing in one of the most breathtaking landscapes on Earth. As you explore the crater floor, you'll encounter an incredible variety of animals in their natural habitat.

After a memorable game drive, enjoy a picnic lunch near the scenic Hippo Lake, known for its tranquil beauty and abundant wildlife. Following lunch, there will be time for a brief additional game drive to capture any last sightings before we begin our ascent from the crater.

We will then travel back to Arusha, aiming to arrive around 5:00 pm. However, we remain flexible to accommodate any flight schedules or special requests you may have.
