Your adventure begins as you arrive at Kilimanjaro International Airport, where you will be warmly welcomed by your safari guide. From here, you’ll be transferred to your hotel in Arusha, the gateway to Tanzania’s northern safari circuit. Spend the rest of the day relaxing after your journey. You may take a short city stroll, enjoy the lush gardens of your lodge, or simply rest by the pool. In the evening, savor a delicious dinner while your guide briefs you about the upcoming safari adventure.
Overnight stay in Arusha.
After breakfast, set out on a scenic drive to Tarangire National Park, known for its large elephant herds and towering baobab trees. The park is also home to lions, leopards, zebras, giraffes, wildebeest, and over 500 bird species. Enjoy a thrilling full-day game drive, stopping for a picnic lunch inside the park. Tarangire’s varied landscapes of swamps, rivers, and savannah plains make it one of the most picturesque safari destinations. In the evening, return to your comfortable lodge or tented camp for dinner and relaxation.

After breakfast, depart for the world-famous Serengeti National Park. On the way, enjoy breathtaking views of the Great Rift Valley and traditional Maasai villages. Enter Serengeti through the Naabi Hill Gate and experience your first game drive across its endless golden plains. Watch for prides of lions resting in the shade, giraffes grazing on acacia trees, and herds of wildebeest stretching to the horizon. Arrive at your lodge or tented camp in the Serengeti just in time for dinner under the stars.
Overnight stay in Serengeti.
Dedicate the entire day to exploring the vast Serengeti plains, one of the best wildlife destinations on earth. Embark on morning and afternoon game drives to maximize your chances of spotting the Big Five – lions, leopards, elephants, rhinos, and buffalo. If traveling between December and July, you may also witness the Great Migration, when millions of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles move across the plains in search of fresh grazing land. Your experienced ranger will ensure you’re in the best spots to witness unforgettable wildlife moments. Return to camp for dinner and storytelling around the campfire.

Enjoy an early morning game drive in Serengeti when predators are most active. After breakfast, continue your journey toward the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. On the way, you may visit Olduvai Gorge (optional), one of the most important archaeological sites in the world, where early human fossils were discovered. Arrive at your lodge perched on the crater rim and take in spectacular views of the Ngorongoro Crater below. Relax with dinner while enjoying the cool highland atmosphere.
Overnight stay at Ngorongoro.
After an early breakfast, descend 600 meters into the Ngorongoro Crater, often called the “Eighth Wonder of the World.” This natural wonder is home to an extraordinary concentration of wildlife, including elephants, hippos, zebras, wildebeest, and the rare black rhino. With its lush grasslands and permanent water sources, the crater provides excellent year-round game viewing. Enjoy a picnic lunch inside the crater before driving back to Arusha in the evening.

After a leisurely breakfast, depending on your flight schedule, you may explore Arusha town for some last-minute shopping or simply relax at your lodge.
