Day 1
Game drive in Tarangire National Park
Welcome to Tanzania. At 07:00 AM, you will meet our professional safari guide at your hotel in Arusha, then depart for Tarangire National Park for your game drive. We recommend 1 night in Arusha before the safari, especially if arriving via Kilimanjaro International Airport, to ensure a smooth start to your journey. Tarangire National Park is renowned for its large elephant herds, iconic baobab trees, and the Tarangire River. You may also encounter lions, giraffes, zebras, buffalo, wildebeest, and a rich variety of birdlife. In the late afternoon, enjoy a scenic sunset game drive among the baobabs before heading to your tented camp for dinner and overnight at Tarangire Greenland Retreat, a beautifully located camp surrounded by untouched nature.

Lake Manyara National Park is a scenic and diverse park, known for its lush groundwater forest, large troops of baboons, flamingos along the lake, and the famous tree-climbing lions. The park also offers rich birdlife and stunning views along the Great Rift Valley escarpment. After your game drive, you will proceed to dinner and overnight at Manyara Escarpment Luxury Lodge, a luxury lodge set on the escarpment with breathtaking views over the valley.

Day 3
Safari in Serengeti
Rise to great views of Lake Manyara and the sunrise, then enjoy your breakfast. At 7:30 AM, after breakfast, you will drive towards Serengeti National Park. The transfer to Serengeti takes about 3 hours. Along the way, you will make a 30-minute stop at a Maasai village to experience their culture, then continue the drive to Serengeti. During the journey, you may spot animals such as zebras, giraffes, antelope, and more. Serengeti offers one of the most amazing game-viewing safaris in Africa. It is home to large herds of buffalo, wildebeest, elephants, giraffes, eland, impalas, and Grant’s gazelles. Lions, leopards, and other wildlife are often seen. You will enjoy a game drive, break for a picnic lunch, and then continue with another game drive. Dinner and overnight will be at your tented lodge, which has a great swimming pool, where you may spot animals like zebras and elephants passing nearby.

Enjoy breakfast before heading out on a morning game drive through the Serengeti, soaking in the sights of wildlife one last time. You also have the option to add an early morning hot air balloon safari in Serengeti National Park. This unforgettable experience allows you to witness the sunrise from the sky and observe wildlife roaming freely across the plains below. After your picnic lunch, you will continue with a game drive transfer from Serengeti National Park to the Ngorongoro Highlands, heading to your accommodation located about 20 minutes from Ngorongoro Crater. This will ensure a more relaxed schedule and allow sufficient time for a full crater game drive the following day, thanks to the shorter distance from Serengeti to Ngorongoro.

After breakfast, you will descend into the Ngorongoro Crater for a full-day game drive.

You will have excellent opportunities to spot lions, elephants, buffaloes, zebras, wildebeest, hippos, hyenas, and the rare black rhino, all within the stunning scenery of the crater floor, which features grasslands, forests, and soda lakes.

Our experience was simply unforgettable! We went on safari through Tarangire and the Ngorongoro Crater, and we were lucky enough to spot all of the Big Five – a dream come true! 🦁🐘🐆🦏🐃 A very special thanks to Innocent our driver and guide: an extraordinarily kind, attentive, and knowledgeable person. Always available, precise, and truly passionate, he made us feel safe and well taken care of at every moment, turning this safari into something even more unique. Heartfelt thanks also to Boris, who followed us throughout the entire organization with great professionalism and availability, making everything perfect from the very beginning. I highly recommend this experience to anyone who wants to enjoy a true African safari: breathtaking nature, perfect organization, and memories that will last a lifetime. ❤️

Laurian our guide was kind and caring and just an upstanding good man and guide.
The safari was amazing! The accommodations were all excellent. Laurian, our guide, was great at finding the animals for us to see and so accommodating with our schedule. By the end of our 4 days together he felt like family. We are grateful for having this experience.
