Day 1
Welcome to Tanzania! As soon as you land, a friendly Lion King representative will meet you at the airport and transport you to your accommodation in Arusha. Depending on your arrival time, you’ll have a chance to unwind and get ready for the incredible adventure that awaits you! Arusha is a vibrant city and a crucial hub for safari experiences in northern Tanzania, making it an essential stop for most travelers. Don't miss out on this exciting starting point for your unforgettable journey! Luxury hotel located in Arusha (City) Meals at own expense Drinks not included
Day 2
Your Lion King Safari guide will pick you up from your accommodation after breakfast. This morning, you will drive to Tarangire National Park, which is approximately a two-and-a-half-hour journey on good tarmac roads. The park is named after the Tarangire River, the only source of water for wildlife in the region during the dry season. Known for its large elephant herds, the park offers great opportunities to observe these magnificent animals congregating by the river. Additionally, you may encounter giraffes, bushbuckS, and hartebeest, with various predators such as lions and leopards often in the vicinity. Tarangire is also home to the highest diversity of bird species anywhere on the planet. You will find ancient baobab trees throughout the park, some of which are believed to be over a thousand years old. A picnic lunch will be served at a designated site inside the park. After your game drive, you will transit to your accommodation in Karatu. Luxury lodge located 1-2hr drive from Tarangire NP All meals included Drinks not included
Day 3
After breakfast, you will drive into the cooler regions of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Along the way, you will have the opportunity to stop and take in the breathtaking views of the Ngorongoro Crater. Following this, you will continue your journey through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area until you reach the southern part of Serengeti National Park. The Serengeti National Park is truly spectacular, known for its vast open grasslands that provide excellent opportunities for wildlife sightings. While it is home to a wide variety of wildlife, it is especially famous for its incredible annual migration. Depending on the time of year you visit, you may witness one of the seven wonders of the natural world, as vast numbers of wildebeest, zebra, and antelope migrate in search of water and fresh grass. You'll indulge in a delightful picnic lunch and experience a magical overnight stay in exceptional accommodations nestled within the breathtaking Serengeti National Park. Luxury tented camp located inside Central Serengeti NP All meals included Drinks not included
Day 4
Prepare for an incredible day in the Serengeti, a wildlife paradise where you'll witness majestic animals like impalas, buffaloes, and playful hippos. The thrill of spotting predators such as lions, cheetahs, and leopards makes every moment exciting. You can choose between invigorating early morning and late afternoon game drives, or embrace a full day of exploration with a picnic lunch in the heart of the park. Each experience is not just a journey; it's a chance to create unforgettable memories amidst some of the most breathtaking landscapes on Earth. The entire day will be immersed in the breathtaking landscapes of Serengeti National Park, where vast savannahs stretch as far as the eye can see, teeming with diverse wildlife and the sounds of nature. Luxury tented camp located inside Central Serengeti NP All meals included Drinks not included
Day 5
After a hearty breakfast, you'll embark on a scenic drive toward the legendary Ngorongoro Crater, enjoying spectacular views and wildlife along the way. You'll spend an unforgettable afternoon exploring this natural wonder before heading to your accommodation in Karatu. Encircled by volcanic walls, Ngorongoro Crater is a breathtaking sanctuary teeming with life. This UNESCO World Heritage Site features golden savannahs, shimmering lakes, lush swamps, and acacia woodlands. Formed over two million years ago after a massive volcanic eruption, it is the world’s largest unbroken caldera. Descending into the crater is an adventure, offering unparalleled views at every turn. On the crater floor, you’ll find herds of wildebeest, zebras, gazelles, and over 500 bird species, from flamingos to crowned cranes. It’s also one of the few places to spot the endangered black rhino grazing in the grasslands. This extraordinary journey immerses you in one of Africa’s most remarkable ecosystems. Luxury lodge located 1-2hr drive from Ngorongoro Crater All meals included Drinks not included
Day 6
This morning, you will drive to Lake Manyara National Park—your final destination on this epic safari! Lake Manyara National Park is a small but diverse park 120km west of Arusha. Everything you will see here is on a different scale. It is both compact (one of the narrowest parks in Africa) and epic (the Great Rift Escarpment towers over Lake Manyara’s western boundary). The park’s namesake is a shallow salt lake. It covers a large area of the park, flooding and drying with the seasons, and is home to thousands of wading birds (including flamingos and over 500 other bird species). You may see baboons and elephants in the park’s thick evergreen forest and look out for the tree-climbing lions that have become famous throughout Africa. After your game drive, we will drop you off at a place you choose, e.g., Arusha, JRO, or ARK. We hope you have enjoyed your adventure with Lion King Adventures! (Walking safari & Lake Manyara game drive are included). Breakfast & lunch (Dinner not included) Drinks not included

I had a wonderful experience with Lion King Adventures, and a huge part of that was due to my guide, Mwita. From the beginning, Mwita took excellent care of me and made my safety a clear priority, which meant a lot as a solo traveler. He is extremely professional, calm, and reassuring. Mwita is originally from the Serengeti and knows the parks and surrounding areas incredibly well, which really showed throughout the trip. His wildlife spotting skills are outstanding — he consistently spotted animals that I was missing. With nearly 20 years of guiding experience, it was obvious that he truly knows what he is doing and understands animal behavior, terrain, and timing extremely well. Overall, I felt safe, well taken care of, and confident in his abilities the entire time. I would highly recommend Lion King Adventures, and especially Mwita, to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, experienced, and professional safari guide.

We just finished a 6 day safari with Lion King adventures, and we couldn’t have had a better experience! We went in February for the calving season and great migration - the weather was perfect and we saw so many animals (all of the big 5 and so much more!). Our guide, Murshid, really made the whole experience amazing. He was the best at preempting the animals movements and positioning the safari truck for optional viewing. He also had so much knowledge of the local area and the animals - he was a very impressive guide. One of the highlights was that we were heading home for the night when he got news of some lion cubs, and he didn’t hesitate to turn around and head straight to the lion cubs for us to see - he really went above and beyond to make our whole experience excellent. All in all we had a great trip - we saw over 20 lions, leopard, cheetahs, hyenas etc. and the weather was amazing!

From the very beginning, we had a wonderful experience with Lion King Adventures. Peter and Florida were amazing. The communication was very smooth and friendly. They always answered very quickly to all our questions, requests, etc. They planned the perfect trip for us according to our budget and wishes. The whole trip was very well organized, from the pick up from the airport (thanks Charly), the lodges and excursions to the drop off at the airport. You don’t need to worry about anything, just enjoy the trip. We had our private car with our private driver/tour guide Goodluck who was amazing. He has such a great knowledge, (about wildlife, Flora and fauna, Tanzania, Africa), happy and positive personality, is an excellent safe driver and always went the extra mile to make sure our special requests we had during the trip were taken care of. He made everything possible for us which we appreciated a lot. We couldn’t wish for a better guide and travel companion. He made our Safari very special. It was truly an amazing and unforgettable trip for us. We will come back for sure and of course will book our next trip with Lion King Adventures again.
