Activity itinerary

Day 1: Arusha to Full game drive in Tarangire National Park
  • 1 stop
  • Meals: lunch, snacks
  • Accommodation: Kizumba House Mto wa Mbu
Tarangire National Park
  • 8h
At 7:00 am, our Guide will pick you from your hotel in Arusha City Centre, ready for the Full day safari. Tarangire National Park is a stunning wildlife destination in northern Tanzania, known for its vast elephant herds, iconic baobab trees, and diverse landscapes. Covering approximately 2,850 square kilometres, the park is home to a rich variety of wildlife, including lions, leopards, giraffes, zebras, and over 500 bird species. The Tarangire River, the park’s lifeline, attracts animals year-round, making it an excellent safari spot, especially during the dry season. Unlike the more crowded Serengeti, Tarangire offers a quieter and more intimate safari experience. The park is also famous for its tree-climbing pythons and large termite mounds, some of which become homes for dwarf mongooses. Its mix of open plains, swamps, and woodlands creates breathtaking scenery perfect for game drives and photography.
Day 2: Mto wa Mbu to half game drive in Serengeti National Park
  • 1 stop

Departing early from Mto wa Mbu, the journey to Serengeti National Park takes approximately 5–6 hours, passing through the scenic Ngorongoro Conservation Area with stunning crater views. Upon arrival at the Naabi Hill Gate around midday, a picnic lunch is enjoyed before embarking on a thrilling half-day game drive in the Seronera region, famous for its abundant wildlife, including lions, cheetahs, leopards, elephants, and seasonal Great Migration herds. The vast savannah, dotted with acacia trees and rocky kopjes, provides incredible photography and wildlife viewing opportunities. As the sun sets, the drive concludes with an evening transfer to a campsite or lodge for a well-deserved rest, surrounded by the sounds of the African wilderness.
Day 3: Full game drive in Serengeti National Park

  • Meals: breakfast, lunch, snacks
  • Accommodation: Nyani Camp in Serengeti National Park
Serengeti National Park
  • 8h
A full-day game drive in Serengeti National Park offers an unforgettable wildlife experience, starting early in the morning to maximise animal sightings. As the sun rises, the vast plains come alive with predators like lions, cheetahs, and leopards hunting their prey, while herds of wildebeest, zebras, and elephants roam freely. The drive covers different regions, from the central Seronera Valley, known for its year-round wildlife and big cats, to the remote areas where the Great Migration may be passing, depending on the season. Picnic lunch is enjoyed at a scenic spot, possibly near the Grumeti River or under an acacia tree, while watching hippos and crocodiles in the water. The afternoon drive continues with more breathtaking encounters, including giraffes, hyenas, and diverse birdlife, before returning to the camp or lodge at sunset. This immersive safari experience captures the raw beauty and untamed wilderness of Serengeti, making it a must-visit destination for nature lovers.

Ngorongoro Conservation Area

After an early morning breakfast, we will hurry to Ngorongoro Crater, as it is the best time to spot animals. On this day, we will enjoy a game drive around the crater and stop for a picnic lunch at a small lake within the park. The lake is home to many hippos and migratory birds, so guests will be sure to enjoy the visit! Due to the animal “oasis” created within the crater, there is a high possibility of spotting every member of ‘The Big 5’. The group comprises some of the strongest animals in Africa – the ferocious lion, the giant elephant, the stealthy leopard, the charging rhino and the mighty water buffalo. Ngorongoro Crater is truly an amazing place. Within the amazing crater you can expect to view the playful zebra, lumbering hippo, swift wildebeest and cackling hyenas. In addition, there are flocks of graceful flamingos along the Soft drink Lake, while hungry hawks and vultures circle the sky in search their next meal of discarded carcass.
Day 5: Full game drive in Lake Manyara National Park - Drop off to your Hotel in Arusha
  • 1 stop
  • Meals: breakfast, lunch
  • Accommodation: Not included
Lake Manyara National Park
  • 8h
A full-day game drive in Lake Manyara National Park offers a diverse safari experience in one of Tanzania’s most scenic parks. The day begins with an early morning drive through lush groundwater forests, where blue monkeys, baboons, and colourful birds thrive. As the journey continues, the open grasslands and acacia woodlands reveal sightings of elephants, zebras, giraffes, and the park’s famous tree-climbing lions resting on branches. The highlight is the stunning Lake Manyara, a shallow alkaline lake that attracts thousands of flamingos, hippos, and a variety of water birds, creating a breathtaking scene. A picnic lunch is enjoyed at a scenic spot with views of the lake and surrounding Rift Valley escarpment. The afternoon is spent exploring the hot springs, known as Maji Moto, and tracking more wildlife along the shores and open plains. As the sun sets, the drive ends with a return to the camp or lodge, leaving visitors with unforgettable memories of this hidden gem.
