Day by Day
Upon your arrival at the airport, our representative will transfer you to your boutique hotel for a briefing. Depending on your arrival time, you may choose to explore Arusha’s vibrant Maasai markets or the Cultural Heritage Centre.
Journey into Tarangire, a park famed for its prehistoric baobab trees and the highest density of elephants in Tanzania. Enjoy a picnic lunch overlooking the Tarangire River while observing predators and herbivores alike.
Travel through the lush Ngorongoro highlands toward the endless plains of the Serengeti, with a scenic stop at the crater viewpoint. Opt for a cultural visit to a Maasai Boma before entering the central Seronera region for an evening game drive.
Dedicate a full day to tracking the Great Migration and the park's resident big cats across different sectors. Your guide will navigate to areas of high wildlife activity, returning to the lodge as the sun sets over the acacia trees.
Rise early for a dawn game drive to witness predators at their most active before a hearty brunch at camp. You will then transition to the Ngorongoro highlands, enjoying wildlife sightings along the way to your crater-rim accommodation.
Descend 600 metres into the world’s largest intact caldera, a haven for the endangered Black Rhino. After a half-day tour of the crater floor and a lakeside picnic, ascend the walls and drive to your lodge in the nearby village.
Explore the groundwater forest of Lake Manyara, renowned for its alkaline waters filled with flamingos and its elusive tree-climbing lions. Conclude your safari with a game drive before returning to Arusha in the late afternoon.
The dry season from June to October offers the most reliable wildlife sightings as animals congregate near water sources. For those interested in the wildebeest calving, January and February are exceptional months to visit.
