Day 1

Arusha to Tarangire Park

Arusha to Tarangire Park

Your adventure begins in Arusha, the safari capital of Tanzania, where you’ll join your group and set off for Tarangire National Park. The further you drive, the wilder the landscape becomes—golden grasslands stretching to the horizon, scattered acacias, and, soon enough, the unmistakable silhouettes of baobab trees standing like ancient guardians.

But Tarangire’s real giants are its elephants—hundreds of them—marching in slow, regal processions or playfully splashing in the river. This park is their kingdom, and you’ll have front-row seats to their daily rituals. Keep your eyes peeled for lions lounging under the trees, graceful giraffes nibbling at treetops, and zebra herds crossing the road like a living mosaic of black and white.
After an exhilarating game drive, you’ll check into a charming lodge where you can relax, sip on a cold drink, and watch the sky turn into a fiery canvas at sunset. The sounds of the African night—distant roars, chirping crickets, and rustling.

Day 2

Serengeti National park

Serengeti National park

After breakfast, the journey continues towards Serengeti National Park—a name that stirs the soul of every safari lover. As you drive through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, the scenery shifts from dense forests to sweeping golden plains that stretch as far as the eye can see. This is Serengeti—the land where nature writes its own epic stories.

The afternoon game drive brings you face-to-face with Africa’s most iconic wildlife. Lions basking in the sun, cheetahs poised for the chase, wildebeests moving in endless lines, and leopards draped over tree branches like lazy royalty. If luck is on your side, you might even catch a glimpse of the elusive serval cat, a rare and elegant predator.

As the sun sinks into the horizon, the Serengeti transforms into something almost mythical. The night belongs to the hunters, and from the safety of your lodge, you might hear the distant roar of a lion—a reminder that you’re in the heart of the wild.

Day 3

Serengeti to Ngorongoro

Serengeti to Ngorongoro

Wake up before dawn and venture into the Serengeti at first light. This is the best time to see predators on the move—lions finishing their nighttime hunts, hyenas feasting, and perhaps a cheetah sprinting at full speed in pursuit of its breakfast.

After an unforgettable morning, you’ll begin the journey towards Ngorongoro Conservation Area, with more wildlife encounters along the way. You’ll also have the chance to visit a Maasai village—a unique cultural experience where you’ll meet the red-robed warriors, learn about their traditions, and maybe even join in a traditional jumping dance!

As you reach your lodge near the crater rim, enjoy a well-earned dinner while gazing over the vast landscape below, knowing that tomorrow holds the grand finale of your safari adventure.

Serengeti National Park
Accommodation:
Ngorongoro Wild Camp
  • Mid-range tented camp located inside Ngorongoro Highlands

Day 4

Ngorongoro crater

Ngorongoro crater

Today, you’ll descend into one of the most extraordinary places on Earth—the Ngorongoro Crater. This vast, ancient caldera is often called "Africa’s Eden" because of its unbelievable concentration of wildlife.

Picture this: mist rolling over the crater rim, golden grasslands teeming with life, flamingos painting the lakes pink, and a lion surveying its kingdom from a rocky outcrop. This is one of the few places where you have a real chance to spot all of the Big Five—lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard, and the rare black rhino—in a single game drive.

After a picnic lunch by the Hippo Pool, it’s time to say goodbye to the wild as you ascend the crater walls and drive back to Arusha, carrying memories that will last a lifetime.
