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.

Day 2 : Arusha to Tarangire National Park (120km approximately 2 hours’ drive)

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.

Day 3 : Ngorongoro crater to Serengeti National Park (85km approximately 2 hours’ drive)

After breakfast drive to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, descend into the 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, ascend the crater and drive straight to Serengeti to your accommodation for dinner and overnight stay.

Day 4: Serengeti National Park to Karatu (175km approximately 2hrs 15mins drive)

Early morning after breakfast, you will continue exploring 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 you will drive straight to your accommodation in Karatu for dinner and an overnight stay.

Day 5 :Lake Manyara National Park to Arusha to Zanzibar (Nungwi)

After breakfast at your accommodation, drive to Lake Manyara National Park for game viewing drive with picnic lunch.
