Trip overview
Tanzania is one of the most extraordinary places on earth. Nowhere else can you witness the great migration, descend into the Ngorongoro Crater, climb Kilimanjaro, and end your journey on the white sand beaches of Zanzibar, all in a single trip. Welcome to Tanzania!
We will depart Arusha in the morning and head directly to Tarangire National Park, named after the river that runs through it, which quenches the thirst of a variety of animals, including giraffes, waterbucks, wildebeests, zebras and a high density of elephants. Tarangire is home to over 550 species of birds and its hilly landscape is dotted with baobabs and diverse grasses.
After a morning game drive, you will enjoy a picnic lunch overlooking the river before continuing wildlife viewing until you leave the park in the late afternoon.
After breakfast, we will start our journey to the Serengeti National Park. The Serengetk, home to the "Big Five" (rhinoceros, elephant, leopard, buffalo and lion), is one of the greatest national parks in the world, spanning over 14,000 km². The name Serengeti comes from a Maasai word meaning "endless plains".
Although populations fluctuate, there are an estimated 3 million large game animals in the Serengeti, including over 2,500 lions, 1.2 million wildebeest and over 200,000 zebras. You will also have the opportunity to see giraffes, baboons, colobus monkeys, gazelles, antelopes, crocodiles, hippos, waterbuck, hartebeest and more! This vast and varied park is home to more than 500 bird species, including ostriches, vultures, martial eagles, kori bustards, crowned cranes and secretary birds.
Enjoy a picnic or camp lunch before continuing for an afternoon game drive through the vast plains. A trip to the Serengeti at any time of the year can never disappoint!
After breakfast, we will enjoy a game drive to the main Serengeti gate, stopping for a picnic lunch. Heading towards the Ngorongoro Crater, we will pass through varied landscapes and micro-climates – vast plains, sweeping hills and dense forests. We will arrive early evening at your selected accommodation.
After breakfast, we will drive to the UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Ngorongoro Crater, one of Africa’s safari highlights. The name Ngorongoro is from a Maasai word meaning "Gift of Life".
You will begin by taking in the magnificent views from the crater rim before descending into the crater. You will have the opportunity to see elephants, lions, buffalo, zebras and many other animal and bird species. We will enjoy a picnic lunch overlooking the hippo pool.
The Ngorongoro Crater is beautiful at any time of year and teeming with wildlife. You may experience clear views of the crater bowl or mists rolling down into the base; either way, a memorable experience.
We will travel back to Arusha city, arriving in the early evening.
