What to expect

1
Tarangire National Park

Today marks the beginning of your safari adventure as you depart Arusha—the gateway town to Northern Tanzania’s national parks. Travelling along the scenic Arusha–Dodoma highway, you’ll pass through the picturesque Maasai Steppe on your way to Tarangire National Park. If needed, we’ll make a brief stop at a local supermarket for any last-minute personal items. After approximately two hours, you’ll arrive at Tarangire, where your driver-guide will handle park registration while you stretch your legs. You’ll then embark on your first game drive through Tarangire’s iconic landscapes, known for its towering baobab trees and impressive elephant herds. Lunch will be served at a designated picnic site, followed by afternoon game drives until sunset. In the evening, you’ll head to Karatu for dinner and overnight at a comfortable mid-range lodge such as Africa Safari Lodge or Country Lodge Karatu. Lunch and Dinner Included.

Duration 720 minutes
2
Serengeti National Park

After an early breakfast, you’ll depart Tarangire and begin a scenic journey across the floor of the Great Rift Valley, ascending the escarpment and traversing the lush highlands of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Along the way, you’ll have the option to stop at a Maasai village or a panoramic viewpoint for cultural insight and photo opportunities. Lunch will be served at one of the designated picnic sites, most likely at Naabi Hill Gate—the official entry point to Serengeti National Park. Here, you’ll have a chance to stretch your legs while your guide handles park registration and paperwork. By early afternoon, you’ll enter the Serengeti and begin your first game drive across its iconic plains. Expect sightings of big cats, grazing herds, and perhaps even the early signs of the Great Migration. As the sunset, you’ll head to your accommodation at ThornTree Tented Lodge, Serengeti Green Hills Camp or similar for dinner, and the sounds of the wild await. All meals are included

Duration 720 minutes
3
Serengeti National Park

Rise early for a sunrise game drive—one of the best times to witness the Serengeti come alive. As the morning mist lifts, you may catch rare nocturnal species returning to rest and observe diurnal animals beginning their day. Many animals gather near roadside clearings to escape the dew. After breakfast back at camp, you'll spend the full day exploring the vast plains of Serengeti National Park. The name “Serengeti” comes from the Maasai word Siringit, meaning “endless plains”—and true to its name, the landscape stretches as far as the eye can see. Your guide will help you track wildlife across different habitats, from open savannah to rocky outcrops and riverbanks. Expect to encounter wildebeests, elephants, lions, cheetahs, zebras, elands, and—if luck is on your side—the elusive leopard. The park is also a haven for bird lovers, with a mix of resident and migratory species. Overnight at ThornTree Tented Lodge, Serengeti Green Hills Camp or similar. All meals are included.

Duration 720 minutes

Serengeti National Park

Begin the day with either a sunrise game drive—ideal for spotting early wildlife activity—or enjoy a relaxed breakfast at camp. Afterward, you’ll journey toward the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, with wildlife viewing opportunities along the way as you leave the Serengeti’s open plains and ascend into the highlands. There’s an optional stop at Olduvai Gorge, one of East Africa’s most significant archaeological sites, offering insight into early human history. By late afternoon, you’ll arrive in Karatu, a charming town nestled near the crater rim. Dinner and overnight will be at a comfortable mid-range lodge such as Africa Safari Karatu or Country Lodge, where you’ll enjoy warm hospitality and scenic surroundings. All meals included.

Duration 720 minutes
5
Ngorongoro Conservation Area

After an early breakfast, we descend into the Ngorongoro Crater for a half-day game drive in one of Africa’s most extraordinary wildlife sanctuaries. This UNESCO World Heritage Site offers unmatched animal density, giving you a chance to spot endangered black rhinos, lions, flamingos, and a wide variety of other species—all within the dramatic setting of the crater floor. Around midday, we pause for a picnic lunch by the hippo pool, surrounded by the sights and sounds of this unique ecosystem. In the afternoon, we begin the scenic drive back to Arusha (approximately 4 hours), where you’ll be dropped off at your hotel or the airport. Depending on time, we can also include a complimentary stop at Shanga Gift & Workshop at Arusha Coffee Lodge or the Arusha Cultural Heritage Centre—a perfect way to round off your journey with a touch of local art and culture. Breakfast and Lunch included
