Day 1
Arusha - Tarangire National Park
Our driver-guide will pick you up at your lodge in Arusha, and after a safari briefing, you will board a 4x4 to Tarangire National Park for a wildlife viewing excursion. You'll drive to Tarangire National Park after about a 2-hour drive. You'll begin your morning exploring this reserve. You'll then be able to admire its landscapes, baobab trees, and the wildlife that surrounds it, including entire families of elephants and other animals such as felines, zebras, and giraffes. The park is famous, among other things, for its large herds of elephants and baobabs, as well as its breathtaking scenery, including the hills and the Tara River. You will have lunch at the picnic area. In the late evening, you'll head to Karatu for dinner and overnight at Marera Valley Lodge. Mid-range lodge located 1-2hr drive from Tarangire NP All meals included Drinking water (Other drinks not included)

Day 2
Serengeti National Park
After breakfast at the lodge, you will depart with a packed lunch for a full-day safari in Serengeti National Park, in the heart of wild Africa, with its endless plains as far as the eye can see. We will head to the central area of the park, known as the Seronera region, one of the richest wildlife habitats in the park. The Seronera River, a precious water source for the region, attracts wildlife representative of most of the Serengeti's species. You will have dinner and an overnight stay at the Glimpse of Africa Tented Camp. Mid-range tented camp located inside Central Serengeti NP All meals included Drinking water (Other drinks not included)

Day 3
Northern Serengeti National Park
After breakfast, depart with a picnic lunch and a game drive to the northern Serengeti. You will cross the Mara River to witness the wildebeest migration. During the annual great migration (August to October), the wildlife viewing along the Mara River is breathtaking. The Serengeti-Mara region is one of the best places in the park to observe wildebeest crossings during the Dry season. During the great migration, large herds of wildebeest and their companions gather on one bank of the Mara River. The crossing can take a long time (sometimes up to several days) for a brave individual, encouraging others to follow. Interestingly, these herds sometimes move from one bank to the other for no apparent reason. In the evening, you will head to Sero Tented Camp. Mid-range tented camp located inside Serengeti NP All meals included Drinking water (Other drinks not included)

Day 4
Serengeti National Park
From your first awakening in the park, you can admire the sunrise over the surrounding savannah. Zebras and wildebeests will be by your side. The spectacle is simply magnificent! After a hearty breakfast, head to the park to explore Africa's most beautiful national park. Serengeti National Park offers excellent year-round views of abundant wildlife, with lions, wildebeest, buffalo, zebras, several species of antelope, giraffes, baboons, and many others, including birds of prey. You're sure to encounter big cats and other animals. You'll have lunch at the picnic area. After lunch, you'll continue your safari. You will also visit the hippo pool, where you will have the opportunity to observe numerous imposing hippos playing, fighting, and mating. You may also spot the last dinosaur species, the giant African crocodiles, on the banks of the pool, enjoying the sun. In the late evening, you will return to Glimpse of Africa Tented Camp. Mid-range tented camp located inside Central Serengeti NP All meals included Drinking water (Other drinks not included)

Day 5
Ngorongoro Crater - Arusha
Early in the morning, you will have breakfast and descend to the Ngorongoro Conservation Reserve. You will have the opportunity to observe the animals that are still active. The crater, unique in the world and one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, is home to the rare black rhinoceros and many other species. It is home to a wide variety of wildlife, including herds of wildebeest, zebra, African buffalo, eland, warthog, hippo, and giant African elephant. Another major attraction of this picturesque national park is its large population of African big cats, predators such as lions, cheetahs, hyenas, jackals, and the ever-secretive leopard, which sometimes requires a trained eye to spot. Lunch will be served at the picnic area. At the end of the day, you will leave the crater and drive back to Arusha, where you will be transferred to your lodge.

A company on a human scale, responsive, very professional and perfectly customer oriented
We were 4 guests for an 8 days safari with Kimgoni Tanzania Safaris early september 2025. We had expressed our whishes and have been delighted by every aspect of our adventure. First of all we were so lucky with our french speacking guide Nahum who's obsession was to please us every moment of our journey. What we've seen and experienced was kind of magic, thanks to him. Philippo Kimgoni, the owner of the company was kind enough to come in person in the midle of our journey to greet us and make sure we were fine. In short, our tour was extremly customized, avoiding hyper-touristy circuits and favoring more authentic encounters. We will keep wonderful memories for long time.
