Day 1
Arusha to Tarangire National Park
We will pick you up from your hotel and after being familiar with the guide and chef, we will drive to Tarangire National Park (2-hour drive) famous for its diverse landscape. The park is particularly known for its abundance of ancient baobab trees and having the largest concentration of elephants in the whole country. This provides unique chances to observe the interaction between elephant families. You will do a game drive through the park depending on where there are reported sightings of animals (mostly predators, lions, cheetahs, and leopards as they are harder to spot) as herbivores (giraffes, wildebeest, zebras, etc. are plenty to see through the park. Later on, you will go to the Tarangire River picnic site and enjoy the beautiful view of the river and animals while having lunch, small monkeys and baboons will try to scare you of your lunch but there is nothing to worry about. After the tour, you will head to your accommodation in Mto Wa Mbu at your lodge. Mid-range lodge located 1-2hr drive from Tarangire NP All meals included Non-alcoholic drinks

It covers 14,750 square kilometers (5,700 sq mi), famous for wildebeest and zebras migration (over 1.5 million wildebeest and 250,000 zebras). These animals are on a strategic partnership for their survival. Your focus will be the Seronera (center of Serengeti). You'll arrive in the late afternoon. After taking your lunch, you will go on a game drive in Seronera (the center of Serengeti) to late evening and experience the sunset in Serengeti. You'll have a close view of wild animals lucky enough to see a predator hunting or on a kill. Later, you'll head to the lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.

Day 5
Ngorongoro Crater to Arusha
Distance: 210km Non–wildlife viewing time: 3 – 4 hours After an early breakfast, you will descend over 600 meters into the crater to view wildlife. Supported by a year-round water supply and fodder, the Ngorongoro Conservation area supports a vast variety of animals, which include herds of wildebeest, zebras, buffalos, elands, warthogs, hippos, and giant African elephants. Another big draw card to this picturesque national park is its dense population of predators. This includes lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs, and the ever-elusive leopard, which sometimes requires a trained eye to spot. You will visit Lake Magadi, a large but shallow alkaline lake in the southwestern corner, which is one of the main features of the crater. A large number of flamingos, hippos, and other water birds can usually be seen here. In the late afternoon, you'll transfer to Arusha to your hotel or airport drop-off.

We did the Manyara Gane Drive and it was perfect from beginning to end. The guide was a great tracker leading us to a range of animals and gave us all the background information. Skdo parked in good spots to get pictures. 10 out of 10.

Beyond expectations
From day 1, Antonia was super helpful helping us plan this trip. She answered my million questions and explained everything very detailed to make sure my trip was just as I wanted and kept communication going the whole time. Since we arrived in Tanzania the service we received from Serengeti African tours was 5 stars. Our accommodation was super comfortable, we had great food every day and all the staff always super friendly. Our tour guide Gift was the best, he knew all about the animals and was always finding the spots to get us the best views. Super helpful at all times and always encouraging us to ask the right questions and making us remember the animals we saw. Overall everything was beyond expectations and we would do it again a million times. Asante sana.

Amazing
As nature lovers, this safari has been a turning point in our lives. A unique and unforgettable experience where the animals come to see you, not the other way around—this is when you truly realize what real freedom is. It’s true that luck plays a role, but having such an experienced guide like Mathew allowed us to enjoy the trip to the fullest and have truly incredible encounters. My favorite moment was when a pregnant leopard calmly decided to visit us right next to the 4x4. Situations like that only happen when the driver knows how to handle the vehicle and always maintains respect for wildlife. He also explained every detail about the parks and was very open with us—we had a great time! A 100% recommended experience.
