Your adventure begins with an early pick-up from your hotel in Arusha. Drive south through scenic Maasai landscapes to Tarangire National Park, famous for its towering baobab trees and large elephant populations. Upon entering the park, begin your game drive along the Tarangire River—an essential wildlife corridor that attracts herds of zebras, wildebeest, buffalo, and diverse predators.
Enjoy a picnic lunch at a shaded site before continuing your afternoon exploration through acacia woodlands and wide-open savannahs. By evening, drive to your lodge for dinner and overnight.
After breakfast, proceed toward the world-renowned Serengeti National Park, passing through the Ngorongoro highlands with sweeping views over the crater. Descend onto the vast Serengeti plains, where wildlife sightings begin immediately—giraffes, gazelles, elephants, and lions are commonly spotted near the entrance areas.
Spend the afternoon on a game drive en route to your camp, exploring Serengeti’s endless savannahs and kopjes dotted with resting lions. Enjoy sunset views as you arrive at your lodge or tented camp for dinner and an overnight stay under the star-filled Serengeti sky.
Start your day with an early morning game drive when predators are most active. Explore the Serengeti’s prime wildlife areas in search of lions, cheetahs, hyenas, elephants, and grazing species spread across the plains. After lunch, begin your journey out of the park with a game drive en route toward the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.
Reach the crater highlands by late afternoon and enjoy spectacular panoramic views before heading to your lodge on the rim or within the conservation area. Dinner and overnight at your selected accommodation.
After an early breakfast, descend 600 meters into the Ngorongoro Crater, one of Africa’s greatest natural wonders. This wildlife-dense caldera offers exceptional opportunities to view the Big Five, especially black rhinos, lions, buffaloes, elephants, and an incredible variety of grazers and birdlife.
Explore the Lerai Forest, open grasslands, and the hippo-filled pools as your guide interprets the crater’s unique ecosystem. Enjoy your packed lunch at a scenic picnic site near the hippo pool before continuing your game drive.
