Arusha - Lake Manyara National Park - Karatu
Arusha - Lake Manyara National Park - Karatu
After breakfast, you'll leave the camp and proceed to Lake Manyara National Park for a day of wildlife viewing in an area Hemingway described as “the loveliest I had seen in Africa”. Lake Manyara National Park is a naturalist’s delight, thanks to its diverse environments. Ranging from the underground-water forest and acacia woodlands to grasslands, swamps, marshes, and hot springs, the park is simply packed with wildlife. Over 400 species of birds have been recorded, including large flocks of flamingos and migratory water birds. Manyara’s forests ring with the call of monkeys and birds, while its acacia woodlands are home to Manyara’s famous tree-climbing lions and slow-strolling elephants. The park is also home to the largest troop of baboons in Africa, zebras, wildebeests, giraffes, hippos, leopards, and impalas. In the late evening, you'll drive to your lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.

Day 2
Karatu - Serengeti National Park (Central)
Karatu - Serengeti National Park (Central)
After breakfast, you'll have a game drive en route to Serengeti National Park via Ngorongoro. Afterwards, you'll visit the most famous wildlife sanctuary in the world – Serengeti National Park. The word ‘Serengeti’ means ‘endless plains, ’ which describes the park’s 5,600 square mile boundary. Yet for its sprawling area, the Serengeti does not disappoint when it comes to rich wildlife-viewing. Annually, from May to December, millions of animals embark on a migration that brings them from central Serengeti to Kenya’s Masai Mara and back again in an incredible spectacle. Even during the ‘down-time, vast herds of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles roam here, along with groups of elephant, giraffe, and buffalo. As the lions, leopards, cheetahs, hyenas, and jackals stalk their meals, you'll enjoy a picnic lunch in this open arena. Your dinner and overnight stay will be at Moyo Tented Camp.

Day 3
Northern Serengeti National Park Migration
Northern Serengeti National Park Migration
In the morning, you'll undertake your en-route game drive to the Northern region of the Serengeti. The Northern Serengeti is a gently rolling countryside broken by small rivers, occasional hills, and kopjes. A multitudinous permanent population of wildlife resides here. There are also very striking geological occurrences, such as the beautiful Lobo Kopje. The Northern Serengeti is an interesting and varied country that is far from the park's main entry point in the south, hence receiving fewer visitors. The migration is found in this area during August, and with luck, one can witness the most spectacular of river crossings as the herd attempts to cross the Mara River and avoid the strong currents and hungry crocodiles.
After a full day, you will head for your accommodation where you'll enjoy dinner and your night of sleep under the magnificent African sky out upon the ‘Endless Plain'.

Day 4
Serengeti National Park -Ngorongoro Crater Tour to Karatu
Serengeti National Park -Ngorongoro Crater Tour to Karatu
Your final sunrise in the Serengeti! After breakfast, you will wind your way toward Ngorongoro Crater, hopefully enjoying more wonder on the way!
Ngorongoro Crater is concealed by the steep volcanic walls and is a pristine wilderness including sweeping savannah, pockets of acacia woodland, glistening lakes and swamps. The crater was created when a large volcano exploded and collapsed in on itself two to three million years ago.
The drive down into the crater is an adventure in itself. When you reach the crater floor, you'll quickly find yourself amongst large numbers of wildebeests, zebras, gazelles, and more than 500 bird species. The crater provides you with the best chance of seeing the endangered black rhinos, which can sometimes be spotted in the open grasslands.
After a full afternoon inside the crater, you will drive to your accommodation in Karatu.

Day 5
Tarangire National Park - Arusha
Tarangire National Park - Arusha
You will leave Karatu after breakfast with a picnic lunch packed safely away. The Rift Valley landscape drifts past as your guide heads for Tarangire National Park, the least visited reserve on the itinerary but one capable of delivering fantastic wildlife viewing. Home to Tanzania’s biggest elephant population, Tarangire supports large numbers of buffalos, giraffes, zebras, and many antelopes species, most evident during the dry season when concentrations of animals at the life-giving Tarangire River are at their peak.
You'll stop at a picnic site and enjoy your lunch with breathtaking views of the park’s landscape and the river below you, and maybe in the company of elephants drinking and digging water from the riverbanks. After lunch, you'll proceed with wildlife viewing. In the late afternoon, you'll leave the park and drive back to Arusha. You will be dropped at the airport or your chosen place.
