– Day to Day Itinerary

DAY 1 : Tarangire National Park

After breakfast, your driver-guide will collect you and your safari will commence. You will drive from Arusha to Tarangire National Park which takes approximately 3 hours. The name of the park originates from the Tarangire River that crosses through the park, being the only source of water for wild animals during dry seasons. The park is famous for its huge number of elephants, baobab trees, and tree climbing African pythons. The park covers an area of approximately 2,850 square kilometers. You will enjoy a daylong game viewing with a picnic lunch looking out over the river, to break up the time in the car. After a nice game drive, before it gets dark, you will drive to the lodge or campsite for dinner and an overnight stay.

DAY 2 : Serengeti National Park

After an early morning Breakfast depart for Serengeti national park via Ngorongoro conservation area while having a game viewing en-route to Serengeti National park and enjoying the evening game drive towards the campsite. Continuing on, as you crest the hillside, spread out before you, as far as the eyes can see, is the vast Serengeti. Serengeti mean “endless plains” in Kiswahili and this 6,900 sq. mile (18,000 sq. km) park is inhabited by more than 2 million large animals including more than a million wildebeest, hundreds of thousands of plains zebras, and Thomson’s gazelles.

DAY 3 : Ngorongoro Highland

Today you will wake up very early to do an early morning safari before breakfast, to spot the animals when they are more active and also to have a fantastic sun rise in front of you. The sunrise in the African savannah is one of the most beautiful experiences one can have. After the game drive, you will return to the camp for brunch. In the afternoon, you'll transfer to Ngorongoro, the 8th Natural Wonder of the World. The large bull elephants that reside here have extremely large tusks, due to the rich mineral content of the volcanic soil and its grasses.

DAY 4 : Ngorongoro Crater – Arusha

After breakfast, drive to Ngorongoro Crater for half-day game drives inside the crater. This is undoubtedly the best place to see the black rhino in Tanzania as well as a pride of lions that include the magnificent black-mined males. There are lots of colorful flamingos and a variety of water birds. Other game include leopard, cheetah, hyena, and lots of other members of the antelope family. Small mammals of all sorts can also be seen here. Late in the afternoon, drive back to Arusha or the airport for drop-off.
