Arusha To Tarangire National Park

After breakfast, your Rumi Safaris guide will pick you up from your accommodation. You'll then embark on a drive to Tarangire National Park, which takes approximately two and a half hours.

Tarangire National Park is famous for its large elephant families that are often seen gathering by the river. In addition to elephants, you may spot giraffes, bushbucks, and hartebeests, all of which are closely accompanied by various predators, including lions and leopards. The park boasts the highest diversity of breeding bird species found anywhere in the world! You will also encounter the impressive and ancient Baobab trees, some of which are believed to have lived for over a thousand years.

Lunch will be enjoyed at a picnic site within the park. After your game drive, you will travel to your accommodation in Karatu.

Day 3

Ngorongoro Crater

Ngorongoro Crater

After breakfast, you will drive into the cooler regions of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. When you first see Ngorongoro Crater, it appears to be a forgotten world. Hidden by steep volcanic walls, this pristine wilderness features expansive savannahs, pockets of acacia woodlands, and shimmering lakes and swamps. The Crater was formed when a large volcano erupted and collapsed two to three million years ago, covering an area of 260 square kilometers. It is renowned for its geological wonders and as a natural reserve that hosts some of the densest populations of large mammals on the African continent.

As you descend into the Crater, you will quickly encounter large numbers of wildebeest, zebras, gazelles, and more than 500 species of birds. The Crater offers the best chance to see the endangered black rhino. After exploring, you will transit through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area to enter the Serengeti from the southern side of the park.

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

Day 4

Serengeti National Park

Serengeti National Park

The Serengeti is truly spectacular, known for its vast open grasslands that provide excellent opportunities for wildlife viewing. Its climate and vegetation have remained largely unchanged for millions of years. While it is home to abundant wildlife, the region is especially famous for the annual Great Migration. During this event, vast numbers of wildebeest, along with large groups of zebras and antelope, move in a consistent pattern, always in search of fresh grazing lands. The migration occurs throughout the year; you just need to know the best places to see the animals during specific times.

In addition to the iconic landscapes, there’s a good chance of encountering predators like lions, cheetahs, and leopards, making it a truly life-changing experience.

In the afternoon, you will begin your journey back to Karatu, hopefully enjoying more wonders along the way!

Main Destination:
Central Serengeti National Park
Best Time To Visit January to February and June to October (Different areas are best at different times)

Day 5

Lake Manyara National park To Arusha

Lake Manyara National park To Arusha

After breakfast, you will drive to Lake Manyara National Park, a small but diverse park located 120 km west of Arusha. Everything you’ll see here is on a different scale. The park is both compact—being one of the narrowest parks in Africa—and epic, as the Great Rift Escarpment towers over Lake Manyara’s western boundary.

The park’s namesake is a shallow salt lake that covers a large area of the park, flooding and drying with the seasons. This lake is home to thousands of wading birds, including flamingos, as well as over 500 other bird species. In the park's thick evergreen forest, you may see baboons and elephants, and keep an eye out for the famous tree-climbing lions.

You will enjoy a picnic lunch in the park. After your game drive, you will bid farewell to your guide and be dropped off at a location of your choice, such as Arusha, Kilimanjaro Airport, or Arusha Airport. We hope you have enjoyed your adventure with Rumi Tanzania safaris!
