You will be picked up from the airport by a Gorilla Pathfinders representative and conveyed to your accommodation in Arusha where you will overnight, relax, and prepare in anticipation of the adventures to come. Our partner budget lodge, The Outpost Lodge is situated in a leafy residential area close to the town centre.
In the morning, you will be collected from your lodge in Arusha by our personal safari guide. We'll set out for Tarangire National Park on a good tarmac road across gently rolling Maasai plains with scattered acacia trees. As we zip along, we will pass many Maasai in their colourful dresses walking on the roadside, riding bicycles, herding cattle, and driving donkey carts. Tarangire National Park is well known for its large elephant herds and it is also host to a multitude of other creatures. From the open roof of our state of the art safari jeep, we'll experience the seasonal swamps, savanna, and life-giving Tarangire River. You'll encounter a multitude of creatures from zebra to wildebeest, buffalo, elephant, and giraffe, to name but a few. It is possible we will glimpse lions stalking prey or leopards watching and relaxing in the trees above. After our extensive game drive, we will drive straight to our campsite for dinner and an overnight stay.
Rise and shine! It is an early departure to the lush highlands of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Once you have reached the crater rim, you will drive down a steep track into the 600 m deep caldera to see a range of animals and birds. The caldera (collapsed volcano) is home to over 25,000 mammals ranging from the “Big Five” (lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino, leopard) and more than 500 species of birds.
After an extensive game drive and a picnic lunch in the crater, you will return to Arusha, where you will arrive early in the evening.

Every now and then a destination becomes so famous that people start questioning whether it can possibly live up to its own reputation. Serengeti National Park is one of those places. You have seen the photographs, watched the documentaries, read the articles, and somewhere in the back of your mind a small but persistent voice is asking whether the reality can genuinely match the legend. Whether all those wildebeest, all those lion prides, all that extraordinary golden savannah stretching to the horizon is truly as breathtaking in person as it looks on a screen. The short answer is yes. The longer answer is that the Serengeti does not just live up to its reputation it quietly exceeds it in ways that no photograph or documentary has ever managed to fully capture, and here is exactly why.
