Welcome to Tanzania! After a warm greeting in Arusha, your safari adventure begins with a scenic drive to Lake Manyara National Park. Nestled at the base of the Great Rift Valley, this compact park is a gem—home to tree-climbing lions, large herds of elephants, and vibrant flocks of flamingos gliding across the soda lake.
Enjoy a delicious lunch at your lodge, then head out for an afternoon game drive, exploring the park's diverse habitats. From groundwater forests to open savannah, you'll have a chance to spot giraffes, hippos, baboons, and colorful birdlife.
Dinner and Overnight: Lodge or camp near Lake Manyara (mid-range or budget option).
Distance: approx. 205 km - Drive, Time: 5-6 hrs (with stops)
After breakfast, travel through the picturesque highlands of Karatu and the misty rim of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. As the land flattens, the endless plains of Serengeti stretch ahead—a timeless landscape teeming with wildlife.
You'll arrive in the Seronera region, known for its abundant animals and the lifeline Seronera River. After a picnic or hot lunch, enjoy an afternoon game drive spotting lions lounging in the sun, herds of zebra and wildebeest grazing, and maybe even a leopard draped over a tree branch.
Dinner and Overnight: Tented camp or lodge in central Serengeti.
Wake up to the sounds of the wild! You have the entire day to explore the vast Serengeti plains, known for the Great Migration, dramatic predator-prey encounters, and some of Africa's most iconic scenery.
If you wish, start your morning with an optional hot air balloon safari (extra cost) for a breathtaking aerial view as the sun rises over the savannah.
Later, take a morning drive along the Sogore River Circuit, known for lion and cheetah sightings, and enjoy a picnic lunch at the Visitor Center, where you can stretch your legs, grab a snack, and learn about Serengeti's ecosystem.
In the afternoon, explore the Kopjes Circuit—massive rock outcrops that provide refuge for lions and other wildlife. Keep your eyes peeled for hyraxes, snakes, and birds basking on the sun-warmed stones.
Dinner and Overnight: Serengeti camp or lodge.
Distance: approx. 145 km - Drive, Time: 4 hrs (game drive en route)
After a hearty breakfast, begin your game drive en route toward the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. As you leave Serengeti behind, take in the changing landscape—rolling grasslands give way to highland forests.
Arrive at your lodge near the crater rim or in the nearby highlands for a relaxing evening. Soak in the crisp air and prepare for tomorrow's incredible descent into the Ngorongoro Crater.
Dinner and Overnight: Lodge on the crater rim or highlands near Ngorongoro.
Distance: approx. 155 km - Drive, Time: 4 hrs (plus game drive)
Rise early for a once-in-a-lifetime experience: a half-day game drive inside Ngorongoro Crater. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is a wildlife paradise, home to nearly every species found in East Africa. Descend 600 meters into this ancient volcanic caldera to find elephants, hippos, buffaloes, flamingos, and possibly even the elusive black rhino.
After a picnic lunch near the tranquil Lake Magadi, ascend the crater walls and continue on to Tarangire National Park, arriving in the late afternoon. The baobab-dotted landscapes and large elephant herds offer a dramatic contrast to earlier parks.
Dinner and Overnight: Lodge or tented camp near Tarangire.
Distance: approx. 120 km - Drive, Time: 2.5 hrs
Enjoy a final morning game drive in Tarangire, following the course of the Tarangire River—often teeming with wildlife in the dry season. This park is also known for rare species like the fringed-eared oryx, greater kudu, and the playful ashy starlings.
