You will depart from Arusha at 7:30 am and head to Tarangire National Park. It takes only 2 to 2.5 hours (120km) to drive to reach the national park’s entrance.
You will have almost 10 minutes for the washroom at the entrance while your guide completes legal formalities at the park authority offices. Thereafter, you will go on a morning and an afternoon game drive (lunch included). In the early evening after the game drive, you will exit the park and head to the lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.
After an early breakfast, you will depart for the most famous national park in the world, the Serengeti. The driving itself, although long, is spectacular. This will be an unforgettable moment for anyone seeing it for the first time. As you progress well into the Serengeti, you will know why the name means, in the local language, “endless plains”.
The park has 18,000sq km (6,900sq mi), and for most of it, the plains will stretch to the horizon, defying your senses and perception of distances. It is the venue of the great migration and home to 2 million wildebeests, hundreds of thousands of zebras, and all kinds of antelopes.
As for big cats and large predators, it is the place of choice to look out for lions, cheetahs, leopards, and hyenas, with many television scenes like the famous River Crossings being filmed in this park.
Your dinner and an overnight stay will be at the lodge.
Today, you will head out early on your morning game drive for a chance to witness a magnificent African sunrise in the bush. You'll head out after a cup of coffee and experience the wilderness and its magnificent creatures as they wake up among the dew-covered grasses. Later, you will head back to camp for breakfast and some relaxation. In the afternoon, you will head out once more for another chance to explore the plains in search of African wildlife as you exit the park. Late afternoon, you will be heading to Ngorongoro for dinner and an overnight stay.
You'll conclude your safari with a visit to the awe-inspiring Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage site teeming with diverse wildlife in one of Africa’s most spectacular natural amphitheaters.
You will descend into the crater for a game drive, encountering rare species such as black rhinos, towering elephants, and elusive leopards. After a memorable game drive, you will exit the park and make your way back to Arusha.
