ITINERARY

Your adventure begins as you arrive in Arusha, the gateway to Tanzania's incredible national parks. After a warm welcome, we'll set off for Tarangire National Park, known for its iconic baobab trees and large elephant herds.

Spend the afternoon on a thrilling game drive, spotting wildlife against the park's stunning landscapes. Known for its massive elephant herds and diverse wildlife, Tarangire’s lush landscape promises endless opportunities for wildlife sightings. Keep your eyes peeled for zebras, giraffes, lions, leopards, and even tree-climbing pythons!

As the sun sets, we'll settle into our lodge near Tarangire, where you'll enjoy a delicious dinner and unwind beneath the African sky.

Get ready — this is just the beginning of an unforgettable journey!

Wake up to the sounds of nature as the sun rises over Tarangire National Park. Enjoy a delicious breakfast before departing for our scenic journey toward the world-renowned Serengeti National Park. On the way, we’ll pass through charming villages and beautiful landscapes, with a stop at the Ngorongoro Crater Viewpoint offering breathtaking panoramic views of the crater below.

Continuing through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, we’ll visit a traditional Maasai village, where you’ll have the chance to learn about the Maasai’s rich culture, traditions, and way of life.

We’ll then continue our journey into the Serengeti, where an unforgettable game drive awaits in one of the world’s most iconic wildlife destinations.

After an exciting game drive, we’ll arrive at our lodge to unwind and enjoy a delicious dinner under the stars — the perfect ending to a day of adventure.

Rise early for an unforgettable day exploring the vast plains of the Serengeti National Park. This iconic park is home to some of the most incredible wildlife encounters on Earth. With high chances of witnessing the Great Migration, you'll see herds of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles moving across the plains — followed closely by predators like lions, cheetahs, and hyenas.

We'll spend the entire day on game drives, exploring different regions of the Serengeti to maximize wildlife sightings. Expect breathtaking landscapes, from golden grasslands to acacia-dotted plains.

Enjoy a picnic lunch surrounded by nature, then continue spotting wildlife throughout the afternoon. As the sun begins to set, we’ll head back to camp to unwind with a delicious dinner beneath the African sky.

Wake up to the sounds of the Serengeti as we enjoy breakfast at camp before setting off on a morning game drive. This is prime time for spotting predators on the move, so keep your eyes peeled for lions, leopards, and maybe even a cheetah in action.

By late morning, we’ll begin our scenic drive toward the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, a UNESCO World Heritage site and home to the world’s largest intact volcanic caldera. Along the way, expect incredible views as we pass through the rolling highlands.

Upon arrival, we’ll settle into our lodge perched on the crater rim, offering breathtaking views of the lush landscape below. Enjoy a relaxing evening, delicious dinner, and a restful night’s sleep before tomorrow’s exciting crater adventure.

Today, we’ll descend into the awe-inspiring Ngorongoro Crater, often referred to as the “Eighth Wonder of the World.” This natural amphitheater is home to an incredible concentration of wildlife, including lions, elephants, buffalo, and the elusive black rhino. With luck, you may even spot all members of the Big 5 in a single game drive!

After an unforgettable morning exploring the crater floor, we’ll start our journey back to Arusha. Along the way, enjoy the scenic countryside and reflect on the incredible sights and experiences from the past few days.

We'll arrive in Arusha by late afternoon, where you'll have time to relax before enjoying a final group dinner — the perfect way to wrap up your unforgettable Tanzanian safari adventure.

After breakfast, it’s time to say goodbye — or as they say in Swahili, "Kwaheri"! Depending on your onward plans, you can spend the morning relaxing in Arusha, exploring local markets, or enjoying a coffee at one of the charming cafes.

For those continuing the adventure in Zanzibar, we’ll assist with your transfer to the airport for your flight to this tropical paradise.

Whether you’re heading home or off to the coast, you’ll leave Tanzania with incredible memories, new friendships, and stories to tell for a lifetime.
