Day 1

Arusha To Tarangire National Park

Arusha To Tarangire National Park

Begin your safari with an early morning pickup from the hotel (around 8:30am) and head to Tarangire National Park. Often regarded as one of the best-kept secrets of the northern circuit, the park spans an area of 2,850 sq km and features unique and diverse landscapes. Its year-round water presence makes it an excellent place to visit, particularly during the dry season (June - Oct, Dec - Feb) when it attracts a migration of diverse wildlife. The park boasts big baobab trees, large mammals (especially elephants), and carnivores. Enjoy lunch within the park and then embark on an afternoon game drive. In the evening you’ll be transferred back to the lodge.

Main Destination:
Tarangire National Park
Best Time To Visit July to November (Animals come to the Tarangire River)

Day 2

Mto wa mbu To Tarangire National Park

Mto wa mbu To Tarangire National Park

In the morning, we undertake our en-route game drive to the Northern region of the Serengeti. Stretching from Seronera for about 100 km, the Northern Serengeti is a gently rolling countryside broken by small rivers, occasional hills, and kopjes. A multitudinous permanent population of wildlife resides here. There are also very striking geological occurrences such as the beautiful Lobo Kopje. The Northern Serengeti is an interesting and varied country that is far from the park's main entry point in the south hence receiving fewer visitors.

The migration is found in this area during August and we may with luck witness the most spectacular of river crossings as the herd attempt to cross the Mara River and avoid the strong currents and hungry crocodiles.
After a full day, we will head for our accommodation where we'll enjoy dinner and our night of sleep under the magnificent African sky out upon the ‘Endless Plain'.

Main Destination:
Northern Serengeti National Park
Best Time To Visit January to February and June to October (Different areas are best at different times)
High Season July to March (The Seronera area is crowded)
Best Weather June to October (Little to no rainfall)

Day 3

Serengeti crossing

Serengeti crossing

After an early breakfast, you will head out to make the most of the day. There is a chance you may see the animals crossing the Mara River. Hundreds of thousands of desperate wildebeest gather together on the banks of the river, gazing wistfully across the turbulent water at the green grass on the other side but no animal will make a move. All it takes is one brave wildebeest to take the literal plunge and, then, they all follow! The animals that do successfully avoid the awaiting crocodile jaws and make it over the river are rewarded with the lush green grazing grass of the Masai Mara.

Ngorongoro Crater To Arusha

In the early morning, you’ll driver to Ngorongoro Crater and descend to the crater floor. The Ngorongoro Crater is the world’s largest inactive, intact, and unfilled volcanic caldera. It was voted one of the Seven Natural Wonders of Africa and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Approximately 30,000 animals live here. Ngorongoro is one of the few places in Africa where guests have a great chance of seeing the entire “Big Five” during a single game drive. You’ll eat lunch inside the crater. You’ll transfer to Serengeti National Park through the Ngorongoro area. Who hasn't heard of the Serengeti? It offers the ultimate safari experience. Known as the "land of endless plains," it covers an area of 14,760 sq km, divided roughly into short grass and woodland areas. It's the homeland of the nomadic Maasai and is renowned for its wildlife density and the annual wildebeest migration. Don't miss the opportunity to experience this place!
