Day 1
Arusha to Ndutu Area
In the morning, you'll be picked up from your hotel in Arusha and head towards the Ndutu region. The drive to Ndutu is about 5.5 hours covering a distance of 260 km. After 2 hours commencing the drive, you will enter the Ngorongoro Conservation Area (Ngorongoro), where you will notice the landscape changing from hilly forests to plain and green grasslands. Once you reach Ndutu, you will begin a half-day game drive with a convenient stop for your picnic lunch. Sweeping grasslands cover the region, which gradually fades into the Serengeti. Ndutu forms a part of the route for the annual migration of more than 2 million wildebeests and thousands of zebra, antelope, and gazelle. The Ndutu is also the home ground for 6 species of big cats— leopard, lion, cheetah, caracal, serval, and wildcat. Late in the evening, you will now head towards your choice of accommodation, where a freshly prepared dinner awaits you. Ensure you get some good rest and recharge yourself for another eventful day.

Day 2
Ndutu Area
The excitement for today will be quite high as you make your way into the southern Serengeti Area. After finishing up a good breakfast, you will head out towards the southern Serengeti National Park and travel amid the never-ending plain grasslands. With an overall land area of 14,763 sq km, it puts our notion about the distance to shame. The Serengeti also houses the glorious “Big 5” (elephant, rhino, buffalo, lion, and leopard). Along with the Big Five, a very pleasant sighting would be one of Africa’s most beautiful animals — the Impala. You must also look out for the Serengeti “Kopjes,” which are massive boulders of granite standing in a sea of grass. They provide ample shelter to a large variety of flora and fauna. A picnic lunch will be done during the day-long game drive itself. The eventful day comes to an end with a heavy dinner and a good night’s rest in your accommodation.

Day 4
Ngorongoro Crater
After breakfast, you will depart for Ngorongoro Conservation Area with a picnic lunch. Ngorongoro Crater is the largest collapsed volcanic crater in the world and has fourteen kilometres of isolated natural beauty. Ngorongoro Crater is surrounded by a ring of extinct volcanoes, and the floor, dotted with watering holes, shelters some 30,000 animals. The 5-hour game drive on the crater floor will show you a lot of animal action. Keeping the camera ready is recommended. The African elephant, buffalo, black rhino, hippos, hyenas, cheetahs, and lions are found in plenty. Post the picnic lunch at the beautiful Hippo pool, you will begin a steep ascent to the top exit of the crater. This is the last leg of your safari, with a 4-hour drive left to Arusha. You will be dropped off at your preferred location in Arusha. Breakfast & lunch (Dinner not included) All drinks (Except for spirits/liquor)

5.0/5Amazing trip to Tarangire!
I had Omary and Alex as my guide and driver for an unforgettable tour of Terangire National Park. They went out of their way to make my safari day amazing. They spotted lots of interesting small animals and tried their hardest to find me my big cats despite some very muddy conditions.

I enjoyed the day with Omar and Alex in Tarangire! It was such a great experience. Alex will guide you through the roads and will do anything in his power to get to your spot. Omar, on the other hand, is funny, has great knowledge, and makes your experience unforgettable. That´s why I recommend both: they treat you well, respond to your needs, and have a lot of experience. So go see for yourself.

Omar was amazing- knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and endlessly entertaining.
I spent the day at Tarangire National Park on safari with Omar and Alex- both incredible guides. As I mentioned above, Omar was fantastic- he knew every animal and bird we came across and had so much knowledge to share on every one. He kept us entertained the whole time. Alex is one of the junior tour operators and did a really amazing job at navigating us around the park. We got to see elephants and lions almost within arms reach, and we even spotted a leopard at the end. The value for money was incredible. Setting up the safari was even easier. I couldn’t recommend this company enough (especially Omar and Alex)!

Omar was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about nature, while also being funny and thoughtful.
Day safari to Tarangire with Omar and Alex was incredible. They were both so thoughtful and focused on giving us the best possible experience. We went during the wet season, roads throughout the park were muddy and driving was phenomenal. Very mindful and dedicated to get us great views, we saw >80 elephants (some of which came right up to us) and last minute we were able to see a sleeping leopard in a huge baobab tree. Omar spent the whole time teaching about every animal we were able to see and overall took great care to make sure we were hydrated, well-fed and overall comfortable. Will be reaching out to them for future safaris.
