Upon landing at Kilimanjaro International Airport, you’ll be warmly received by your driver-guide and transferred to your hotel in Arusha. After check-in at Mrimba Palm Hotel, you can rest and relax or opt for an afternoon visit to a local art gallery or the vibrant Maasai Market, where handmade crafts and souvenirs await. This restful start sets the stage for your safari journey.
After breakfast, you’ll drive to Tarangire National Park, known for its massive elephant herds, towering baobab trees, and rich concentration of wildlife along the Tarangire River. Look out for lions, cheetahs, leopards, and up to 600 elephants. In the evening, unwind at Heart and Soul Lodge surrounded by scenic views.
Following breakfast, set off for Lake Manyara National Park for a half-day game drive. Though compact, the park offers immense biodiversity. Expect to see tree-climbing lions, herds of elephants, hippos, and flamingo-lined shores. After lunch, continue to Africa Safari Lake Manyara Camp for dinner and overnight.
Today’s journey takes you to Lake Natron, a surreal landscape of volcanic terrain and flamingo-filled alkaline waters. After lunch, enjoy a scenic hike to the Ngare Sero Waterfalls before exploring the pink hues of Lake Natron during sunset — especially magical during the flamingo breeding season. Overnight at the eco-friendly Maasai Giraffe Eco Lodge.
Depart early for Northern Serengeti, home of the dramatic Mara River crossings. This is where the Great Migration peaks between July and October as wildebeest and zebras brave crocodile-infested waters. A full-day game drive brings you deep into predator territory before arriving at Kenzan Migration Camp for the night.
Spend the day exploring the vast plains of Northern Serengeti. Witness high wildlife activity near the Mara River, where crocodiles lurk and predators track prey. With flexible scheduling, your guide will tailor the day to your interests with full-day or split game drives. Return to camp in the evening for dinner and rest.
Enjoy an en-route game drive southward into Central Serengeti, a region known for its resident Big Cats and rich savannah habitats. Upon arrival, there’s an optional short guided walking safari with an armed ranger — a great way to experience the bush from a different perspective. Overnight at the cozy Tukaone Weavers Camp.
After an early breakfast, descend 600 meters into the Ngorongoro Crater — often dubbed “Africa’s Eden.” This world heritage site is packed with wildlife, including rhinos, elephants, hippos, lions, and hyenas. Enjoy a picnic lunch at Lake Magadi and soak in the panoramic views before heading to Karatu for the night at Eileen’s Trees Inn.
Wrap up your trip with a cultural walking tour in Mto wa Mbu, a melting pot of Tanzanian cultures. Visit banana farms, explore local markets, and learn how traditional banana beer is brewed. After a local lunch, your guide will transfer you to Arusha or Kilimanjaro Airport for your onward journey.
