Day 1: Arusha town to Tarangire

Tarangire

The first day, you will depart Arusha and drive to Tarangire National Park, where you will see the actual size of the deserted termite mounds and old baobab trees. Lions, giraffes, warthogs, ostriches, impalas, cheetahs, mongooses, buffaloes, and baboons are among the animals that wander the beautiful Tarangire environment.

Lodge at Mto wa Mbu

Day 2:Mto wa Mbu to Serengeti

Serengeti

After you've enjoyed your delicious breakfast, we will travel to the Serengeti National Park. Because we travel along the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater, if you're lucky, you may come upon the strange creature.

Lodge in the park

Day 3: Serengeti Full day

Serengeti

Prepare for an entire day of exploration and immersion in the wonders of the Serengeti. With its diverse ecosystems, the Serengeti offers endless opportunities for wildlife encounters. From the acacia-dotted savannahs to the winding rivers and kopjes, each area provides a unique setting for animal sightings. Marvel at the prides of lions lounging in the shade, watch cheetahs gracefully sprint across the plains, and witness the thrilling interactions between predator and prey.

Lodge in the crater rim

Day 4: Serengeti to Ngorongoro

Ngorongoro Crater

Several safari destinations offer the same experience as the Ngorongoro Crater because seeing animals is so simple. Due to the crater's steep walls, the majority of animals stay inside it. Within the crater, we'll enjoy a beautiful picnic meal. By providing information about the wildlife, plants, and hiding places for animals, your guide will enlighten you. We'll take you to Mto wa Mbu in the late afternoon so you can spend the night and eat dinner there.

Lodge at Ngorongoro

Day 5: Ngorongoro to Arusha

Lake Manyara

On our last day of the tour (we know, we wish it was longer too!), we will experience the beauty of Lake Manyara National Park. We will enjoy an early breakfast, in order to start our game drive early enough to spot the “Big Five” mammals. Lake Manyara is home to the legendary tree-climbing lions as well as powerful water buffalo, immense African elephant, soaring giraffe, graceful impala and gigantic hippo. Guests will enjoy the beautiful scenery as we drive in route to Arusha.
