ARRIVAL AT ARUSHA

You’ll be collected from the airport.
Accommodation before the tour starts can be arranged for an extra cost.

Day 1: Arrival in Arusha

Upon arrival at the airport (Kilimanjaro international airport-JRO or Arusha airport-ARK), you will be met by your personal driver guide or representative and drive you to your accommodation in Arusha for an overnight stay waiting for your adventures to start on the following day

Days 2:Arusha to Tarangire National Park

After breakfast at your accommodation in Arusha, depart for Tarangire National Park which is Tanzania’s third largest national park and sanctuary for an unusually large elephant population. Majestic baobab trees are an interesting feature of the park, dwarfing the animals that feed beneath them. Animals concentrate along the Tarangire River, which provides the only permanent water supply in the area. There is a great diversity of wildlife including lion, leopard, cheetah and up to six thousand elephants. Enjoy game drive with picnic lunch. After lunch and extensive game drive inside the park, we drive straight to your accommodation for dinner and overnight.

Days 3: Karatu to Lake Natron

After breakfast, drive into the beautiful Lake Natron with picnic lunch. Lake Natron is a soda lake with a large resident population of flamingos. Lying on the border of Kenya, just north of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Lake Natron and the active volcano Ol Doinyo L’Engai occupy a surreal landscape, overshadowed by the Rift Valley Escarpment.
Opt to visit Kamakia waterfalls or visit the Maasai village to see the life style, Maasai food and socialization with the tribe followed by evening walk at Lake Natron and witness the wild species of birds. Dinner and overnight at your carefully selected accommodation.

Days 4-5: Lake Natron to Serengeti National Park

Early morning after breakfast, you will drive straight to Serengeti National Park via Klein’s gate. You will explore the vast Serengeti with its endless plains looking for the big cats. The Serengeti hosts the largest mammal migration in the world and is a popular destination for popular African safaris. It is the migration for which Serengeti is perhaps most famous. Over a million wildebeest and about 200,000 zebras flow south from the northern hills to the southern plains for the short rains every October and November, and then swirl west and north after the long rains in April, May and June. So strong is the ancient instinct to move that no drought, gorge, or crocodile infested river can hold them back. After lunch and further game drive, you will head back to your accommodation for dinner and an overnight stay.
You will spend 2 nights inside Serengeti National Park.

Day 6: Serengeti National Park to Ngorongoro crater to Karatu

After breakfast drive straight to Ngorongoro Crater for game viewing. The Ngorongoro Crater is one of the Largest Unbroken Calderas on the Planet with over 25,000 Wild Creatures in the Caldera More Prides Per Capita than Anywhere on Earth. The Ngorongoro Crater is a breathtakingly beautiful setting and the best place in East Africa to see the Big Five, Lions, Leopard, Black Rhino, Elephants, and Buffalo. It is one of the world’s most astonishing and among the 8th wonders of the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The black rhino can easily be sighted in the crater. Think of another place in the world where you can see such a unique setting with diverse scenery, prolific wildlife and birdlife, and an ecosystem like no other. In the afternoon after lunch, ascend the crater and drive straight to your accommodation in Karatu for dinner and an overnight stay.

Day 7: Karatu to Arusha

After breakfast at your accommodation with packed lunch boxes, drive straight to Arusha or at the airport to catch your flight to the next destination.
