Detailed Itinerary
Travel to Arusha, Tanzania
Upon arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO), you will be met by our representative or safari guide, who will transfer you to your hotel in Arusha. As a team of local Tanzanians, we know the country like the back of our hand, so you’re in for a treat from when you land until you leave. Welcome on board!
Tarangire National Park
Today, we will drive 2.5 hours southwest to Tarangire, home to the highest concentration of elephants in Northern Tanzania. Lions, leopards, cheetahs, giraffes, buffaloes, wildebeests, zebras, gazelles, and many other wildlife species also inhabit this park. Tarangire offers over 550 bird species, including the world’s largest bird – the Maasai ostrich. Get ready for an adventure!
Tarangire National Park + Night Game Drive
Begin your morning with breakfast before heading out for another exciting game drive in Tarangire, where there’s a good chance of seeing lions, giraffes, zebras, buffaloes, and more amid the breathtaking landscapes of savannah, acacia, and baobab trees. Return to your lodge afterward for lunch, relaxation, and dinner. After dining, venture out for a night game drive. Night drives are the best way to see nocturnal animals and spot big cats like lions, leopards, and servals. Enjoy observing wildlife after dark, and if the sky is clear, take in a stunning view of the stars. The peaceful, private drive brings you closer to nature.
Ngorongoro Crater Tour
The Ngorongoro Crater, which is only 10 miles wide, was formed around three million years ago when a volcano collapsed. It is the world’s largest volcano caldera and is home to over 25,000 resident animals, making it a unique ecosystem. In the grass steppes and acacia forest, you can spot almost every animal in the East African savanna, including the African “Big Five”.
Serengeti National Park & Great Migration
The Serengeti is one of Africa’s most iconic wildlife destinations, famous for its vast plains and the Great Migration. Each year, over 1.5 million wildebeest, along with zebras and gazelles, move in a circular journey between Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park and Kenya’s Maasai Mara in search of fresh grazing. From December to March, the herds gather in the southern Serengeti for calving, then travel north as the dry season begins, crossing the Grumeti and Mara Rivers. By July to October, they are mostly in the north before returning south with the short rains in November, followed closely by predators such as lions, cheetahs, and crocodiles.
Fly back to Arusha - Day Use Room + Lunch at Melia
Depart for the final game drive in the Serengeti for the last photo opportunities before flying to Arusha. Upon arrival, our representative will wait to collect you and transfer you to the Gran Melia Arusha Rooftop Restaurant for a hot lunch and a day-use room. Later, you will be driven to the respective airport in time for your inbound or outbound flight.
