Itinerary
Day 1Arrive in Tanzania · Arusha
You land at Kilimanjaro International Airport, where your guide meets you with your name board and drives you about an hour to Arusha. You can settle in, have dinner and get a full night of sleep before your safari starts.
Day 2Tarangire National Park
You drive about two hours to Tarangire and spend the day following the river, where elephants gather in large family herds beneath baobab trees. You eat a picnic lunch in the park and keep watching for lion, leopard, giraffe and many of its 500+ bird species.
Day 3Ngorongoro Crater
You descend into the crater at gate opening, before it fills with vehicles. On the floor you look for black rhino, lion, elephant bulls, hyena and flamingos on the soda lake, and eat a picnic lunch by the hippo pool. Afterwards you climb back to the highlands for the night.
Day 4Into the Serengeti
You cross the Ngorongoro highlands, past Maasai villages and the Olduvai Gorge, and enter the Serengeti at Naabi Hill. Your first game drive follows the plains toward camp, with lion and cheetah often seen along the way.
Day 5Full day in the Serengeti
A full day exploring the Serengeti, with a picnic lunch so you never have to rush back to camp. Your guide reads the plains, kopjes and rivers for big cats, follows the herds and decides with you when to stay and when to move on.
