Day 1

Arusha - Tarangire National Park

Arusha - Tarangire National Park

You'll embark on a full-day game drive at Tarangire National Park after an early breakfast, with a picnic lunch included. You'll witness up to 300 elephants gathering at the waterless river bed to search for alternative streams, while nomadic wildebeest, zebras, buffalos, impalas, gazelles, hartebeests, and elands gather at the diminishing lagoons. This national park serves as a haven for migrants during the dry season and a welcoming home for elephants. You'll enjoy dinner and spend the night at Marera Valley Lodge.

Main Destination:
Tarangire National Park
Best Time To Visit July to November (Animals come to the Tarangire River)

Day 2

Lake Manyara National Park

Lake Manyara National Park

You will depart from the lodge at 8:30 am after breakfast, carrying a picnic hot lunch, and head towards Lake Manyara National Park. After a full-day game drive, you will return to Marera Valley for dinner and an overnight stay.

Lake Manyara, stretching for 50km at the base of the rusty-gold 600-meter high Rift Valley escarpment, is a picturesque wonder. Ernest Hemingway once called it "the loveliest I had seen in Africa." The game-viewing circuit through Lake Manyara is compact and offers a virtual microcosm of the Tanzanian safari experience. Starting from the entrance gate, the road winds through a lush jungle-like groundwater forest where baboon troops lounge nonchalantly, blue monkeys scamper nimbly between ancient mahogany trees, bushbuck tread warily through the shadows, and outsized forest hornbills honk cacophonously in the high canopy.

Main Destination:
Lake Manyara National Park
Best Time To Visit June to October (Easier to spot animals)

Day 3

Lake Manyara to Central Serengeti National Park

Lake Manyara to Central Serengeti National Park

After breakfast, you will embark on a full-day game drive at Serengeti National Park with a picnic lunch included. You'll witness a million wildebeest, driven by the same ancient rhythm, fulfilling their instinctive role in the inescapable cycle of life here. For three weeks, they engage in a frenzied bout of territorial conquests and mating, followed by a survival of the fittest as they traverse 40km (25 miles) long columns through crocodile-infested waters during their annual migration northward. Following a brief population explosion that produces over 8,000 calves daily, the 1,000 km (600-mile) pilgrimage begins once again.

Main Destination:
Central Serengeti National Park
Best Time To Visit January to February and June to October (Different areas are best at different times)
High Season July to March (The Seronera area is crowded)
Best Weather June to October (Little to no rainfall)

Keep your eyes peeled for the Big Five animals, including lions, leopards, elephants, buffalos, and maybe even a black rhinoceros, while enjoying a picnic lunch at Ngoitoktok Spring. You will also have the opportunity to see other big mammals such as hippopotami, giraffes, warthogs, baboons, and various bird species. After approximately 6 hours, you'll ascend the crater rim and head to Arusha with an en-route game drive via Mto wa Mbu village. In the evening, you will arrive at your hotel in Arusha town.
