Itinerary

Distance: 30-50km (20-30mi) Non-game viewing time: 2 hours Your adventure begins with a pick-up from your hotel, where you will meet your guide, chef, and fellow travelers. We will then drive for about 2 hours to Tarangire National Park, known for its diverse landscapes, ancient baobab trees, and Tanzania's largest concentration of elephants. Here, you'll have the rare opportunity to observe elephant family interactions up close. Our game drive will follow reported sightings, offering a chance to spot elusive predators like lions, cheetahs, and leopards, along with abundant giraffes, wildebeest, and zebras. We will stop for lunch at the Tarangire River picnic site, where you can enjoy stunning views of the river and its wildlife. Be mindful of curious monkeys and baboons nearby—they are harmless but keen on your lunch!

Descend from the highlands into the heart of wild Africa, where the Serengeti's vast plains stretch endlessly. We will head to the Seronera Area, a wildlife-rich region fed by the Seronera River, which attracts a variety of animals and represents the diversity of the Serengeti. Arriving in time for lunch, you will then enjoy an afternoon game drive, exploring one of the world's most iconic wildlife habitats.

After breakfast, we will descend 600m (2,000ft) into the Ngorongoro Crater for a game drive. The crater's year-round water supply and rich grazing grounds support diverse wildlife, including herds of wildebeest, zebras, buffaloes, eland, warthogs, hippos, and giant African elephants. The area is also renowned for its high density of predators, such as lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs, and occasionally leopards, which may require a keen eye to spot. We will visit Lake Magadi, a shallow alkaline lake in the southwestern corner of the crater, home to hippos, flamingoes, and other water birds. We will transfer you back to Arusha in the late afternoon and drop you off at your preferred hotel.
