Arrive at Kilimanjaro International Airport where you’ll be met and transferred to your hotel in Arusha. Rest and get ready for your full safari experience, with a pre-tour briefing in the evening.
Leave Arusha after breakfast and drive to Tarangire National Park, known for its baobab trees and large elephant herds. Enjoy a full-day game drive and lunch inside the park. Check into your lodge in the late afternoon for dinner and overnight stay.
After breakfast, head to nearby Lake Manyara, a small but diverse park famous for flamingos, tree-climbing lions, and forested areas. Enjoy a relaxed game drive and a picnic lunch before continuing to your lodge in Karatu for the evening.
Depart early and enjoy a scenic drive through the Ngorongoro highlands on your way to the Serengeti. You’ll enter the park by midday and begin a game drive toward your camp. Spot wildlife along the way before arriving for dinner and overnight.
Spend a full day exploring the Serengeti’s vast landscapes. Search for lions, cheetahs, elephants, and herds of wildebeest. With picnic lunch in the bush, enjoy uninterrupted exploration of one of the world’s top safari destinations.
Enjoy another full game-viewing day in a different region of Serengeti. Follow predator tracks, observe herds in motion, and soak in the raw beauty of the African wilderness. Optional hot air balloon safari available in the early morning.
After an early breakfast, drive toward the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Descend 600 meters into the Ngorongoro Crater — a wildlife paradise home to lions, rhinos, buffalo, hippos, and more. Enjoy a game drive with lunch inside the crater, then return to Karatu for your final lodge night.
After breakfast, return to Arusha with stops along the way. Depending on your flight schedule, you’ll be transferred to Kilimanjaro Airport or dropped off at your hotel. Optional souvenir or cultural stops available.
