Day 1
At 8 am, your safari guide will pick you up from the hotel and take you to Tarangire National Park
Enjoy the wildlife!
Overnight at a campsite
Breakfast, lunch and dinner provided. Drinking water is also provided.
Tarangire National Park is almost 3000 sq km in size and is probably best known for its huge numbers of elephants and baobab trees. The name of the park comes from the Tarangire River which crosses through the park. Tarangire is especially spectacular during the dry season (June – November) as wildlife concentrations rival that of the Serengeti (since enormous populations of elephants and other animals are drawn to the Tarangire River as their only source of water). With its varied habitats and permanent water in the Tarangire River the park is home to over 2000 elephants and 500 bird species.
Day 2
After breakfast drive to Lake Manyara National Park
Enjoy doing a game drive. Dinner and overnight at a campsite
Breakfast, lunch and dinner provided. Drinking water is also provided.
Lake Manyara is a beautiful little park which is famous for its tree-climbing lions, elephants and large troops of baboons. The Park is home to an amazing variety of birds and animals considering its small size. A short visit to this serene park will greatly diversify your safari experience as the lush green jungle habitat is of stark contrast to the other parks you will visit during your safari.
Day 3: Maasai Boma - Serengeti National Park
Today after breakfast, drive to Serengeti National Park
Enjoy an afternoon game drive at the central part of the Serengeti.
Overnight at a Public Campsite
Breakfast, lunch and dinner provided. Drinking water is also provided.
The Serengeti National Park is the world’s last great wildlife refuge as it contains an estimated three million large animals, most of which take part in a seasonal migration that is one of nature’s wonders. The area covers 14,763 sq kms and the name Serengeti comes from the Maasai ‘Siringet’, meaning endless plains.
Day 4
Enjoy a full day in different parts of central Serengeti!
Overnight at a Public Campsite again.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner provided. Drinking water is also provided.
The Central Serengeti offers superb game viewing all year round due to its abundance of resident animals. Specifically, the Seronera River Valley in the Central Serengeti is a ‘must see’ on every safari regardless of the specific month of travel. Game viewing in Central Serengeti is at its best during the dry season (June – November) as resident animals are more concentrated in the immediate area due to the lack of water on the plains. Resident herbivores include impala, buffalo, hippo, warthog, topi, hartebeest and giraffe. Resident carnivores include lion and leopard.
Day 5 & 6
Have the morning at Serengeti and then after lunch drive to the rim of Ngorongoro Crater to overnight at hotel on the rim
Breakfast, lunch and dinner provided.
Drinking water is also provided.
There are several documented resident lion prides just within a one-hour game drive radius from Seronera.
During the dry season, the resident prides begin to shift west and north in their territories and concentrate in the central region of the park. The dry season is a particularly good time for lion viewing in the Central Serengeti. The Central Serengeti is also one of the best areas in Africa to spot the elusive leopard. You may be lucky enough to encounter this majestic cat in the branches of the sausage trees that dot the banks of the Seronera River.
Day 6: Tarangire National Park
After breakfast, descend into the crater for a crater game tour.
Later on, drive to back to Arusha so as to reach at the hotel around 5pm for drop off.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner provided. Drinking water is also provided.
Often called the eighth natural wonder of the world, the Ngorongoro Crater is the largest intact crater in the world. About 2 million years ago the Ngorongoro volcano erupted, and its walls collapsed. The volcano floor sank to create a natural enclosure with its 600m tall walls. Now, at over 19 kilometres wide, Ngorongoro Crater is filled with great areas of acacia forest, hippo filled swamps and open grassland these different habitats contain over 30,000 animals – including elephants, warthogs, flamingoes, magnificent birdlife, the rare black rhinoceros and all the predatory cats. The Maasai can also be seen grazing their cattle alongside the buffalo and wildebeest.
Day 8
You will be picked up from the hotel and driven to Kilimanjaro International Airport for your flight out.
