Day 1

Tarangire National Park

Tarangire National Park

After having breakfast, you will embark on a two-and-a-half-hour transit drive on well-maintained tarmac roads to Tarangire National Park. The park derives its name from the Tarangire River that flows through it.

During the dry season, this river acts as the only water source for wildlife in the region, thus making it a significant area for animal spotting. The Park is famous for its herds of elephants that often gather near the river. Other animals that you may see include giraffes, bushbucks, and hartebeests.

Predators such as lions and leopards are also found in the park. Tarangire National Park boasts of having more breeding species of birds than any other place on earth. Additionally, the park is home to giant Baobab trees, some of which are over a thousand years old.

You will have a hot lunch at a picnic site inside the park, followed by a game drive. After the game drive, you will proceed to your accommodation in Mto wa Mbu.

Day 2

Serengeti National Park

Serengeti National Park

After having breakfast, we will depart from your lodge to the Serengeti plains, stopping at the crater viewpoint, then proceed with a transfer game drive to the Serengeti.

The Serengeti is the largest park in Tanzania and includes various environments such as heavy bush, short grass plains, grassland, lakes, mountains, and swaths of swamp area. The grassy section of the park is dotted with peculiar rock formations known as Kopjes, where predators are frequently seen.

The herds travel from the northern hills to the southern plains in the brief rainy season from November to December. They migrate back up north during the extended wet season, which lasts from April to June.

This cycle of life is wholly dependent on the annual rainfall. In the afternoon, we will have a hot lunch at a picnic site before proceeding to the center of the Serengeti, where we will spend the day doing game drive.

Best Time To Visit January to February and June to October (Different areas are best at different times)

Serengeti National Park

You will wake up before sunrise to embark on an early morning game drive, as this is the best time to witness wildlife in action. After the exhilarating drive, you'll head back to the lodge for a delicious breakfast before setting off on another wildlife drive in the park.

In the Seronera area, you'll have the opportunity to spot lions, cheetahs, leopards, wildebeests, and zebras coexisting in their natural habitat.

Following a delightful picnic lunch, your journey will continue as you follow the path of the great migration. As the sun sets, you'll return to your accommodation for a well-deserved dinner and a comfortable overnight stay.

Day 4

Ngorongoro Crater- Arusha

Ngorongoro Crater- Arusha

You will wake up early, have breakfast, and then leave the Serengeti for the Ngorongoro Crater. Once you reach the crater rim, you will be treated to breathtaking vistas of this 600-meter-deep collapsed volcano.

You will drive down the narrow and steep road that leads into the crater. Although the hills are forested, savannah eventually takes over the area. With any luck, you can see the Big Five (lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino, and leopard) in a few hours.

The wildlife in this area is just breathtaking. Along with some of the more than 500 bird species in the area, you should also be able to view warthogs, wildebeests, zebras, and hippos.

After that, you will proceed with driving back to Arusha. On this day, we can drop you off at the airport or in Arusha at your chosen place.

Best Time To Visit June to October (Wildlife viewing is best)
