Day 1
Arusha to Tarangire National Park
Arusha to Tarangire National Park
It's time to begin your safari. Welcome to Tanzania! After we greet you and provide you with the trip briefing, we'll take you out to help you discover why so many people think Tanzania is the best place in Africa to go on safari.
If you’ve never been to Tarangire (and even if you have) you’re in for a real treat. Tarangire is filled with giants – baobab trees all across the park, as well as elephants, lots of them. But that’s just the beginning. Of the big cats, you’ll probably see lions, and cheetahs and leopards are around, too. And it’s impossible to miss the wildebeest, giraffes, hippos, buffaloes and zebras. Your backdrop for all of this is one of the prettiest in northern Tanzania, with a memorable mix of river woodland, open plains and rolling hills. And some vantage points to take it all in.

Serengeti National Park
Serengeti National Park
Serengeti, one of Africa’s top safari destinations. While you’re here, there’s an excellent chance that you’ll see leopards along the dry riverbanks, cheetahs out on the grasslands, and elephants, giraffes and all kinds of antelopes everywhere across the park. Watch also for the Serengeti’s famous lion prides. And that’s just the start. Some of the largest and most diverse wildlife populations on the planet roam the Serengeti, not to mention millions of wildebeest and zebras who migrate across the plains every year.
Ngorongoro Highlands
Enjoy cool temperatures, forest wildlife (including elephants, buffaloes and leopards), and fine views of craters and mountains when you visit the Ngorongoro Highlands.

Day 3
Serengeti National Park
Serengeti National Park
You’ll never forget the time you spend in the Serengeti. Perhaps it will be the sightings of leopard and cheetah as they show their skills as feared hunters of the plains and valleys. Or that unforgettable moment when an elephant family feeds alongside your vehicle, so close you could almost reach out and touch them. Or the first time you hear a lion roar. Then there are the herds of buffalo, zebra or wildebeest so large that they move as one across your horizon, like a river. All of these experiences are possible in the Serengeti, one of the most beautiful parks in Africa.
Central Serengeti National Park
Exploring the Central Serengeti means experiencing acacia trees silhouetted against a backdrop of endless savannah. The wildlife viewing here is excellent and big cats are always a possibility.

Day 4
Serengeti National Park
Serengeti National Park
There’s no such thing as too many days in the Serengeti – today you’ll get to enjoy it all over again.
Balloon Safari, Serengeti National Park
There's nothing quite like the thrill of drifting over the Serengeti on a balloon safari. You'll look out across the endless beauty of the Serengeti's grasslands and you'll be able to see the park's large wildlife populations from a whole new perspective. It's a remarkable experience.

Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge
Surrounded by forests up on the Ngorongoro Crater rim, the stone-built Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge is a real safari classic. A mixture of traditional safari decor with bright modern rooms provides the setting. But whether you're in your room or enjoying a meal in the restaurant, you'll barely be able to tear yourself away from the views out over the crater. Great service is another hallmark of staying here.

Day 5
Ngorongoro Crater
Ngorongoro Crater
You’ll learn why magical Ngorongoro is unlike anywhere else in Africa. Cloud forests encircle the crater rim, and the view out across the caldera of this former volcano – quite apart from the altitude – will leave you gasping for air. Your drive down a steep trail carries you onto the crater floor where a unique wildlife offering is added to the sheer beauty of the experience. You’ll share the sunken ecosystem of the crater floor with hyenas, lions, elephants, black rhinos and hippos. An ecosystem that has formed in the crater in the millennia since the volcano wrought its terrible fury upon the land. It could just be one of your best safari days ever.
Accommodation | Day 5
Eileen's Trees Inn
Between Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro Crater, Eileen’s Trees Inn offers you a central in-town location that allows you to catch a glimpse of local life. The quiet garden keeps the noise and clamor of passing traffic at bay. Relax in the cottage rooms which are large and nicely furnished.

Day 6
Lake Manyara National Park
Lake Manyara National Park
Lake Manyara National Park will allow you to tick off so many unique safari highlights, including many that you just won’t find elsewhere. Unlike the elephants you’ll see in other parks, Lake Manyara’s inhabit dense forest – there’s nothing quite like your experience of an elephant suddenly emerging from behind the nearest tree. Also, you’re just as likely to see lions here draped along a branch high in a tree as down on the ground. And baboons. Lots of baboons. The views you’ll see here, too, persist in your memory long after you’ve returned home, thanks to the combination of lake, forest and sheer cliffs, all within just a few kilometres.
