Itinerary

Day 1: ARUSHA-TARANGIRE NATIONAL PARK

In the morning, you will be picked up from your hotel in Arusha by our personal safari guide. Or at the Airport. We’ll then cover about a 120km (roughly two hours) distance en route to Tarangire National Park.

Tarangire National Park is well known for its large elephant herds and a multitude of other creatures. We’ll experience the seasonal swamps, savannah, and life-giving Tarangire River that act as the magnet for animals during the dry season.

We will strive to encounter as many animals as possible, including zebra, wildebeest, buffalo, elephant, and giraffe (to name a few). We may also glimpse lions and leopards. Our professional guide will choose a suitable picnic spot for have a delicious lunch before we finish the game drive until sunset.

In the evening you will be transferred to one of our carefully selected hotel partners for dinner and your overnight stay.

Day 2: SERENGETI NATAIONAL PARK/ 2-3

After breakfast, you will continue toward the Endless Plains, where you will be able to see the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater before traveling onward to Serengeti National Park (which you will reach by afternoon). Our professional guide will pick a good time to have lunch and some wine amidst the scenery.

Serengeti National Park is known for its healthy stock of resident wildlife, particularly the "Big Five," which are so named because they are the five most prized animal trophies sought after by hunters. The Serengeti is believed to hold the largest population of lions in Africa (roughly 3,000) due to the abundance of prey that lives here.

The African leopard, a reclusive predator, is commonly seen in the Seronera region but is present throughout the park. Its population is estimated to be about 1,000.

After the game drive, you will head to your accommodations for dinner and your overnight stay.

Day 4: SERENGETI NATAIONAL PARK/ NGORONGORO CRATER

After breakfast, you’ll depart from the camp with a picnic lunch in hand en route to the Ngorongoro Crater.  This area is located west of Arusha City within the Crater Highlands geological area of northern Tanzania.

Once you arrive at the edge of the crater, you will have your first glimpse of what awaits you the following day: glistening streams, open grassland, and an infinite number of animals. In the crater, there is a high possibility of spotting all the “Big Five” (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino), depending on the day.

During the afternoon, you will be served lunch and then go on an afternoon game drive until our allotted time runs out. Dinner and your overnight stay will be at the Lodge

Day 5: LAKE MANYARA NATIONAL PARK

You will be picked up from your accommodations after breakfast and driven to Lake Manyara National Park (about 30 minutes). The park is truly a photographer's playground and offers some of the best game viewing in the world. You can expect to see many of Africa's most well-known animals—with the tree-climbing lions being a particular treat. These proud predators lounge in acacia trees practically begging to be photographed.

Birdwatchers will also find Lake Manyara to be an absolute delight, with a huge variety of birds on display in the park. Even the novice can expect to be amazed by large flamingo flocks, circling birds of prey, and the brightly colored lilac breasted roller. Lunch will be served in the park at 1300 hours. You’ll return to Arusha in the afternoon.

Day 6: MATERUNI WATERFALLS/ AIRPORT

We will pick you up from your hotel in Arusha after breakfast. First, you will visit the waterfalls, which are a roughly 40-minute walk away. Along the way, your guide will tell you about the local culture, village life, and explain the surrounding flora and fauna.

The views here are truly breathtaking—with some luck you will see the summit of Kilimanjaro. The pool at the bottom of the waterfall is an inviting place for a refreshing swim, so don‘t forget your swimwear!

After enjoying the scenery, you slowly return with your guide to Materuni village, where you will experience a traditional Chagga lunch.

In the late afternoon, you will be taken to your hotel or the airport, which will conclude your safari.
