Tarangire National Park - Serengeti National Park
After an early morning breakfast, we’ll depart for Serengeti National Park. The Serengeti is a truly spectacular destination, renowned for its vast open grasslands that provide excellent opportunities for wildlife sightings. As Tanzania’s oldest national park and one of the oldest ecosystems on earth, the Serengeti’s climate and vegetation have remained largely unchanged for millions of years.
The park is home to an abundance of wildlife but is best known for the annual Great Migration. This natural spectacle sees vast herds of wildebeest, accompanied by zebras and antelopes, traverse the plains in search of fresh grazing. The timing of the migration varies each year, dictated by rainfall patterns.

Serengeti National Park
Serengeti National Park
The Serengeti is a truly spectacular destination, renowned for its vast open grasslands that offer excellent opportunities for wildlife sightings. As Tanzania’s oldest national park and one of the oldest ecosystems on earth, the Serengeti’s climate and vegetation have remained largely unchanged for millions of years.
While the Serengeti is home to abundant wildlife, it is perhaps best known for the annual Great Migration. During this natural phenomenon, vast herds of wildebeest, accompanied by large numbers of zebras and antelopes, move in an annual cycle, constantly seeking fresh grazing grounds. The precise timing of the migration depends on yearly rainfall patterns.
Day four will feature a full-day game drive, providing ample time to explore the stunning landscapes and encounter the diverse wildlife. Dinner and your overnight stay will be at the lodge.

Serengeti National Park - Ngorongoro Crater
After an early morning breakfast, we’ll continue with an en-route game drive through Serengeti National Park before departing for the Ngorongoro Crater. The Ngorongoro Crater feels like a forgotten world encased by steep volcanic walls. Within this natural amphitheater lies a pristine wilderness featuring sweeping savannahs, patches of acacia woodland, and shimmering lakes and swamps.
Formed two to three million years ago by the explosion and collapse of a massive volcano, the crater is celebrated for its geological marvels and as a sanctuary for one of the densest populations of large mammals in Africa. The descent into the crater is an adventure in and of itself, and the floor is teeming with wildlife, including wildebeests, zebras, gazelles, and over 500 bird species.
After a picnic lunch and an extensive game drive on the crater floor, we’ll ascend and head to our partner hotel for dinner and your overnight stay.

Lake Manyara - Arusha
After an early breakfast, we’ll drive to the nearby Lake Manyara National Park for a game viewing experience. Your first encounter will likely be with large troops of baboons. Lake Manyara derives its name from the Euphorbia tirucalli plant, known as “Emanyara” in the local Maasai language. The park features unique landscapes, including patches of yellow fever trees along the grassy lake shores and the dramatic Rift Valley escarpment as a backdrop.
The park’s entrance welcomes you with a groundwater forest, offering a refreshing change from the savannah-dominated parks. Its lush green vegetation, towering trees, iconic tree-climbing lions, soda lake fringed with thousands of pink flamingos, large water birds, and playful baboons create an unforgettable safari experience. A packed lunch will be served at a picnic site.
In the late afternoon, we’ll drive back to Arusha, arriving in time for your journey home.
