Day-By-Day Itinerary
How the route unfolds on the ground
Read this section for the actual rhythm of the safari, not just the list of stops. It helps you judge how much time goes into game drives, transfers, lodge downtime, and overall route flow.
Day 1
Arusha To Tarangire National Park
Pick up from your lodge and start a beautiful journey to Tarangire National Park while carrying lunch boxes. Tarangire is well-known for its large elephant herds and diverse landscapes, from seasonal swamps to savanna, with the Tarangire River winding its way through the parklands. We may have the experience of seeing a lion stalking its prey or leopards watching while relaxing in the trees above. Once the game drives are done, we drive to your lodge for relaxation, dinner, and an overnight stay.
Day 2
Central Serengeti National Park
After breakfast, depart for Central Serengeti National Park for wildlife sightings. Enjoy lunch at a suitable place inside the park. We will continue the game drive activity in the afternoon before reaching the camp. Serengeti is well-known for its great migrating herds of zebra, antelope, and wildebeest. Be ready to see resident predators, leopard, cheetah, and lion, fulfilling their role in the circle of life.
Day 3
Northern Serengeti For The Great Migration
Get up early, enjoy breakfast, and drive to Northern Serengeti National Park. We will settle around the Mara River, where the great migration is happening. Our safari guide will find the best viewpoint to observe the event. The great migration is the most significant herd movement of wildebeest, zebra, and other animals crossing the Mara River into Kenya's Masai Mara National Reserve. Migrating animals need to cross the crocodile-invested Mara River, this is where the action is! The best time to see the migration is between July and early October every year.
Day 4
Northern Serengeti National Park To Ngorongoro Crater
Another exciting day lies ahead! Wake up early, enjoy breakfast, and depart for a game drive in Northern Serengeti National Park with the possibility of encounterimg more sightings. Later, we drive to Ngorongoro Conservation Area, to our accommodation on the crater rim.
Day 5
Ngorongoro Crater To Arusha
After breakfast, we descend the Ngorongoro Crater for a day of game drives and beautiful scenery. Once we finish the game drives, we will transfer you to Arusha, where we conclude our safari. The Ngorongoro Crater is the world's largest uninterrupted caldera and one of Africa's natural wonders! About 30 000 large mammals are resident all year round (such as buffaloes, lions, elephants, cheetahs, and rhinos), and many birds (such as flamingos, eagles, and buzzards).
