Day 1

Arusha to Tarangire

Arusha to Tarangire

An early morning briefing at your Arusha hotel kick starts your safari, before you head off to Tarangire National Park, a true wildlife gem known primarily for its vast elephant population and impressive baobab trees. (Driving time 90 mins - 2 hours.)

Highly underrated, yet bursting with a dense wildlife population, it won’t take you long to appreciate just why we love Tarangire. During the dry season (Jun - Sep) thousands of animals including elephant, buffalo, giraffe, wildebeest, kudu, and the rarely seen oryx migrate from the dry Masai steppe to the Tarangire River in search of water.

Lion, leopard and other predators follow, so have your camera ready to capture some unique sightings and memories. With impressive landscapes dominated by baobab trees, an enormous elephant population and over 550 varieties of bird, Tarangire offers secluded game viewing and loads of game – a winning combination in anyone's book!

Spend the day enjoying game drives, with picnic lunch included.

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

Ngorongoro Crater to Serengeti National Park

A day we’re sure you’ve been itching to tick off your African travel bucket list!

Enjoy a morning and picnic lunch in the Ngorongoro Crater, one of the natural wonders of the world. The volcanic caldera offers spectacular game viewing and a rich variety of birds, all viewed against the backdrop of the thickly forested crater walls. Varied terrains and dramatic landscapes with both freshwater and soda lakes make this a true marvel of creation.

Continue onto the Serengeti, home to more than three million large mammals spread over vast plains.

From Jan to March the herds can be found birthing their young in the southern Ndutu area, before proceeding north during June and July as they head toward the Mara River. Aug to Oct sees dramatic river crossings, before the herds return south to repeat this amazing instinctive procession all over again.

Overnight for 3 nights at a Serengeti Wilderness Camp. (Exact camp depends on the time of year and the location of the herds).

Day 6

Serengeti National Park

Serengeti National Park

It's your last day in the Serengeti.

We highly recommend booking a Hot Air Balloon trip (optional extra at own cost).

A hot air balloon safari over one of Africa’s most famous and majestic national parks is not easily captured in words. The quiet of floating over plains, the exhilaration of climbing into the pink-blue of the early dawn on invisible currents, the breathless awe of peering over the basket’s edge at this vast swathe of wild Africa. Take off is at dawn and a champagne bush breakfast completes this must-do adventure.

Day 7

Serengeti to Arusha

Serengeti to Arusha

After breakfast, return by road to Arusha (driving time +- 6-8 hours depending on which camp you are staying at and game viewing en route).

Or, transfer to airstrip for your optional return flight back to Arusha/ Kilimanjaro airport. It is an exceptionally scenic flight across the vast expanse of the Rift Valley escarpments and the highlands of Ngorongoro.

If you are staying in Northern Serengeti, the flight back is compulsory as the distance back to Arusha/ Kilimanjaro is too far to cover in one day.
