Day 1

Tarangire National Park

Karibu Tanzania! Today our guide will collect you after breakfast from your hotel in or around Arusha to start your safari. He will brief you about the safari, the schedule and what to expect. The drive to Tarangire National Park will take about 2 hours. Enjoy the beautiful views of the local villages and Maasai herds on the way.

If you’ve never been to Tarangire (and even if you have) you’re in for a real treat. Tarangire is filled with giants – baobab trees all across the park, as well as elephants, lots of them. But that’s just the beginning. Of the big cats, you’ll probably see lions, and cheetahs and leopards are around, too. And it’s impossible to miss the wildebeest, giraffes, hippos, buffaloes and zebras. Our guide will take you off the beaten track and he will share stories about the park and its wildlife, explaning more about the natural world around you.

At lunch time you will head to the picnic site for lunch. As you enjoy your meal, you might spot herds of elephants roaming nearby. The sound of birds singing and the rustling of leaves in the wind will add to the peaceful and serene atmosphere of the moment.

In the afternoon we leave Tarangire behind us and drive towards the beautiful Heart & Soul Lodge.

Optional Day 1

Day 2

Lake Natron

Welcome to Lake Natron, one of Tanzania's most beautiful and unique destinations! Join us on a waterfalls tour and lake walk to discover the stunning natural beauty of this incredible area.

Our tour will take you to the stunning Engare Sero Waterfalls, where you can witness the power and beauty of cascading water. The falls are surrounded by lush vegetation, and the cool misty air provides a refreshing break from the hot African sun. You'll have the opportunity to explore the falls and take some truly amazing photos.

Next, we'll take a walk along the shores of Lake Natron, a shallow salt lake that is home to a variety of unique and fascinating wildlife. Our experienced guides will show you the lake's famous flamingos and explain the lake's fascinating geological history.

Day 3

Serengeti National Park

We'll depart after breakfast and head towards Serengeti National Park,where we will arrive around lunch time. The Serengeti is one of the world's most famous wildlife destinations. We'll explore the vast plains in search of the Big Five and other animals like cheetahs, hyenas, and zebras. The Serengeti’s scenery is also unforgettable – observe Africa’s iconic acacia trees, the park’s golden grasslands and great piles of boulders known as kopjes.

As the sun begins to set over the African savannah, it's time to head back to your lodge after a thrilling day of safari adventures. But the experience isn't over yet - the journey back to your lodge can be just as exciting as the game drives themselves. As your vehicle makes its way through the park, you might catch glimpses of wildlife that are more active in the evening hours, such as hyenas or nocturnal birds. The changing colors of the sky and the warm glow of the setting sun add to the magic of the moment.

Accommodation Day 3

Serengeti Wild Camp Budget

You'll see lots of animals when you stay at Serengeti Wild Camp. That's because the camp lies in the wildlife-filled central area of the Serengeti, but a little bit away from the other camps in the area. The large safari tents let you watch animals pass by during the day and keep you safe as you listen to the sounds of wildlife at night.

Meal Plan Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner Drinking water

Day 4

Serengeti National Park

The routes in Serengeti are scenic, with plenty of opportunities to stop and take in the incredible views. Along the way, you'll pass through rugged terrain and open savannahs, with rolling hills and towering rocky outcrops providing a dramatic backdrop. One of the highlights of the journey is the chance to see more wildlife as you can!

Optional Day 4

Day 5

Serengeti National Park

Today we wake up early and start the day with a beautiful sunrise game drive. There's something truly magical about experiencing the African wilderness at sunrise, and a sunrise game drive is one of the best ways to do so. The early morning is an incredible time to spot some of the park's most elusive and active wildlife, including lions, leopards, and hyenas. The cooler temperatures and softer light create the perfect conditions for a memorable safari adventure, as you journey through the park's vast savannahs and grasslands. During the morning game drive we slowly head back to the gate where we arrive around lunch time.

In the afternoon, it will be time to head to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, one of the most stunning and unique parks in Tanzania. The journey to the park is an adventure in itself, as you traverse winding roads through breathtaking scenery.

Optional Day 5

Nature walk, Ngorongoro Highlands

Accommodation Day 5

Ngorongoro Wild Camp Mid-Range

Tented 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 6

Ngorongoro Crater

You’ll learn why magical Ngorongoro is unlike anywhere else in Africa. Cloud forests encircle the crater rim, and the view out across the caldera of this former volcano – quite apart from the altitude – will leave you gasping for air. Your drive down a steep trail carries you onto the crater floor where a unique wildlife offering is added to the sheer beauty of the experience. You’ll share the sunken ecosystem of the crater floor with hyenas, lions, elephants, black rhinos and hippos. An ecosystem that has formed in the crater in the millennia since the volcano wrought its terrible fury upon the land. It could just be one of your best safari days ever.

Day 7

Lake Manyara National Park

Lake Manyara National Park will allow you to tick off so many unique safari highlights, including many that you just won’t find elsewhere. Unlike the elephants you’ll see in other parks, Lake Manyara’s inhabit dense forest – there’s nothing quite like your experience of an elephant suddenly emerging from behind the nearest tree. Also, you’re just as likely to see lions here draped along a branch high in a tree as down on the ground. And baboons. Lots of baboons. The views you’ll see here, too, persist in your memory long after you’ve returned home, thanks to the combination of lake, forest and sheer cliffs, all within just a few kilometres.

We're sure it really has been a wonderful trip, but sadly it's time for it to end. It has been an honor to look after you and hopefully provide you with many safari memories. We hope to see you again next time you go on safari.
