Day 1 Arusha - Tarangire National Park - Karatu

After breakfast, depart Arusha for Tarangire National Park. On arrival, begin a game drive through rolling savannah, acacia woodland, and ancient baobab groves. The Tarangire River attracts large herds-especially elephants-along with buffalo, zebra, wildebeest, and giraffe. Keep an eye out for lions resting in the shade and, occasionally, leopards in the riverine trees.

Enjoy a picnic lunch at a scenic site, then continue exploring quieter sections of the park where birdlife is prolific. In the late afternoon, exit the park and drive to your lodge.

After breakfast, travel through the lush Ngorongoro Highlands, passing farms and small villages before entering the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Pause at viewpoints overlooking the crater before continuing toward Serengeti National Park.

Upon entering Serengeti (Naabi Hill Gate), begin a game drive toward your camp. The landscape opens into vast plains dotted with kopjes (rock outcrops), prime habitat for big cats. Expect sightings of giraffes, elephants, and large herds of grazers. Arrive at camp in time for dinner.

Day 3

Day 3 Full Day Game Drive Serengeti

Spend a full day exploring Serengeti National Park. Start early to catch predators at their most active-lions on the move, cheetahs scanning the plains, and possibly leopards near riverine areas. Your guide will tailor routes based on recent sightings and seasonality.

Enjoy a picnic lunch in the bush or return to camp for a hot lunch, then continue with an afternoon game drive. Depending on the time of year, you may encounter the Great Migration-massive herds of wildebeest and zebra moving in search of fresh grazing, often shadowed by predators.

Activity Day 3

Rest of Day

Come and see the best of Central Serengeti National Park as we take you out on a guided game drive. It really is a terrific way to feel a part of Africa with the wind in your hair as we drive you around to look for animals.

Day 4 Serengeti National Park - Ngorongoro Highlands

After breakfast, enjoy a final morning game drive in Serengeti National Park. Exit the park and head back toward the Ngorongoro Highlands, with optional stops for photos and short walks at designated viewpoints.

Arrive at your lodge near the crater rim or in Karatu in the afternoon. The highlands offer cooler temperatures, rolling green hills, and panoramic views-an ideal setting to relax before the crater safari.

Activities Day 4

Morning

Our transfer this morning to the next part of your safari is also a game drive which means looking for animals as we go.

Rest of Day

Leave the crowds behind and join us for a guided game drive through the Ngorongoro Highlands. It's a chance to see and learn what this remarkable landscape has to offer.

Accommodation – Day 4

Mid-Range Ngorongoro Wild Camp

At Ngorongoro Wild Camp you're a short drive from Ngorongoro Crater but nicely removed from the busy crater rim area. Accommodation is in elevated safari tents or cottages, and the camp has a swimming pool, a bar and a restaurant. Animals, including giraffes, often wander through camp, and the service here is friendly.

Day 5 Ngorongoro Crater - Arusha / Airport

Depart early for the descent into the Ngorongoro Crater (approx. 600 meters down). This UNESCO World Heritage Site hosts one of Africa’s highest concentrations of wildlife. On the crater floor, expect to see lions, elephants, buffalo, hyenas, hippos, and large flocks of flamingos around the soda lake. With luck, you may also spot the endangered black rhino.

Enjoy a picnic lunch near a hippo pool, then ascend the crater and begin the return drive to Arusha or transfer directly to the airport for your departure.
