Day 1

Arusha

Arusha

Welcome to the start of your safari and welcome to Tanzania! You've chosen a fantastic place for your safari journey and we'll get you started with an introductory briefing before we head out to begin the trip you've been dreaming of.

Arusha is a fun city to explore, a fascinating urban complement to the thrills on offer elsewhere in northern Tanzania's safari parks. Here you'll get to experience lively streets, tasty local food, and busy markets and museums. More than anything else, it's a window into life in a provincial Tanzanian city. Stay in the center of Arusha at Kibo Palace Hotel, it's convenient for just about everything in town. Handsome rooms are just the start, other facilities and services include a restaurant, bar, swimming pool, gymnasium and massage center. The professional-standard service is also part of the experience.

Day 2

Ngorongoro Crater

Ngorongoro Crater

Ngorongoro is a special place and the first time that you descend onto the crater floor is like no other safari experience in Africa, one where you’ll encounter the crater’s 600-strong population of hyenas, as well as critically endangered black rhinos. You’ll also find elephants with larger-than-average tusks, and more than 50 lions living in the crater. But it’s the sheer beauty of Ngorongoro that will most likely live longest in your memory. From early morning, mist rises from the crater, revealing steep, forested walls.

Tarangire National Park
You have so much to look forward to in Tarangire. Top of any list are the elephants and the baobab trees, which are such dominant presences throughout the park. Lions are another possible wildlife highlight among many, and it's rarely crowded. Staying at Ngorongoro Lion's Paw Camp means surrounding yourself with all that's good about staying high on the crater rim.

Main Destination:

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

The endless horizons of the Savannah grasslands are the perfect backdrop for seeing so many animals. And there's no better safari image than the sun setting deep red behind a silhouetted acacia tree deep in the Serengeti
The Serengeti has large numbers of wildlife, quiet safari trails, and equally wonderful scenery. It's best when the migration is around, but it's good at any time of the year. You're in a fantastic location at Lahia Tented Lodge. The stylish, wood-floored safari tents sit on stilts and have excellent views from their terraces. There's a swimming pool and the main building houses a bar and a restaurant.

Day 4

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.
