Your adventure begins with an early morning pick-up from Arusha at 7:00 AM. You’ll embark on a scenic drive towards the famous Serengeti National Park, passing through the lush Ngorongoro Highlands. Arriving in Serengeti by mid-afternoon, you’ll set off on an exciting game drive, getting your first taste of the park’s incredible wildlife, including lions, elephants, and cheetahs. As the sun sets, you’ll arrive at your campsite, where you’ll enjoy a hot meal under the stars before settling into your tent for the night, surrounded by the sounds of the African wilderness.
Wake up to the sounds of nature and fuel up with breakfast before heading out for a full day of exploration in the Serengeti. Today’s game drives will take you deep into the heart of the park, where you can witness the sheer scale of the Serengeti plains and its abundant wildlife. Depending on the time of year, you may even catch a glimpse of the Great Migration, as thousands of wildebeests and zebras cross the plains in search of greener pastures. Enjoy a picnic lunch amidst the stunning landscape before continuing your afternoon game drive. Return to the campsite in the evening for dinner and an overnight stay.
After breakfast, embark on a final morning game drive through the Serengeti as you make your way towards the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. En route, you’ll have opportunities to spot more wildlife, including leopards lounging in trees or hyenas scavenging for food. Arrive at your Ngorongoro campsite by late afternoon, where you can relax and enjoy a hearty meal. Your campsite overlooks the incredible Ngorongoro Crater, offering breathtaking views as you prepare for the next day's adventure.
Today, descend into the world-renowned Ngorongoro Crater after an early breakfast. The crater is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the best places to spot the Big Five in one location. Spend the morning exploring this unique ecosystem, home to elephants, rhinos, lions, and more. After a picnic lunch near the crater floor, you’ll ascend and drive towards your campsite near Tarangire National Park, arriving by late afternoon. Enjoy a peaceful evening in your campsite, preparing for another day of safari adventure.
After an early breakfast, venture into Tarangire National Park for a full day of game drives. Known for its majestic baobab trees and large elephant herds, Tarangire offers excellent wildlife viewing opportunities. Spot lions, giraffes, and diverse bird species as you explore the park’s rich landscape. At midday, stop for a picnic lunch within the park before continuing your afternoon game drive. By late afternoon, you’ll head back to Arusha and check in to Karibu Heritage House, where you’ll enjoy dinner and a comfortable night’s rest.
On your final day, enjoy a relaxed morning before heading to the beautiful Chemka Hot Springs, a natural oasis just outside of Arusha. Spend the day swimming in the crystal-clear, warm waters surrounded by lush greenery, a perfect way to unwind after days of safari adventures. In the late afternoon, you’ll drive back to Arusha or, if you prefer, be dropped off directly at Kilimanjaro International Airport for your onward journey.
