Arusha to Tarangire National Park
Arusha to Tarangire National Park
Today after breakfast, you will be picked up from your lodge and drive to Tarangire National Park with lunch boxes. The drive to Tarangire National Park is about 110km and takes about 2 hours from Arusha.
Tarangire National Park is best known for its large herds of elephants, lions, and leopards, wonderful for birdlife, and a great variety of landscapes and wildlife. The gorgeous Silale Swamp, towards the south of the park, is magnificent and almost always rich in wildlife taking advantage of this reliable water source. The park provides water not only from the swamp but also from the Tarangire River. During the dry season, it’s the primary source of water for animals from the entire area, making for fantastic viewing.
After a full day in the park, you will drive to Farm of Dreams Lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.

Day 3
Tarangire to Ndutu Area
Tarangire to Ndutu Area
Today you will visit Ndutu. This stunning area lies south of the Serengeti and west of Ngorongoro but it sees very few of the
travelers who make their way between the two. It all makes for a quieter, more intimate experience, but it also offers the best of both worlds, because it's a terrific area for seeing big cats and other wildlife, especially when the great migration passes through. Expect horizons that seem to go on forever and an extraordinary spray of stars in the night sky.

- Ndutu (Southern Serengeti NP)
- Accommodation:
- Acacia Migration Camp

Day 4
Ndutu/ Central Serengeti National Park
Ndutu/ Central Serengeti National Park
After breakfast today, your driver-guide will pick you up from your lodge. You will then have another full-day game drive in Ndutu.
When you explore Ndutu, you'll feel like you're getting all that the Serengeti has to offer, but there will be far fewer vehicles to block your view. This is one of northern Tanzania's best-kept secrets, easily accessible from both the Serengeti and Ngorongoro, and yet nicely off the main road between these more popular destinations. Ndutu is particularly good for wildlife when the great migration passes through, but there are plenty of animals to see here, framed against the vast horizon, at any time of the year. It's perfect for big cats, including tree-climbing lions.
After a full day of adventure, you will be back at your camp in time for a relaxing dinner.

Day 5
Central Serengeti National Park
Central Serengeti National Park
Experience the thrill of an early morning game drive, a unique opportunity to witness wildlife in their most active state. Departing the lodge before sunrise at 6 am, you'll have the best chance to spot the big cats returning from a night of hunting, as well as other fascinating creatures, in the cool morning temperature. After the exhilarating game drive, you will be chauffeured back to your camp for a leisurely breakfast, followed by a drive to Central Serengeti. The central Serengeti boasts those spectacular “endless plains,” dotted with acacia trees and the occasional rocky kopjes. What is special about Central Serengeti is the wide open spaces, driving through the miles and miles of animals as far as the eye can see, riverine forests, and leopards.

Day 6
Ngorongoro Conservation Area
Ngorongoro Conservation Area
Today you will drive to the stunning Ngorongoro Crater. It’s a 2-hour drive from Serengeti. This Crater is the world’s largest intact collapsed caldera (volcano) which is a self-contained ecosystem with its own unique population of wildlife in a confined area of amazing variety.
The crater boasts lots of lions, hyena, fantastic bird-life, serval, Cape buffalo, zebra and gorgeous landscapes – Also there is an added advantage of seeing Rhino’s, if you are lucky. The view from the veranda of the lodges are breath taking especially in the morning with the early morning mist, because of the high altitude (It can be visited at any time of the year)
You will have your lunch in the Crater and then continue with the game drive. In the late afternoon you will drive to Arusha for the night.
