Day 1 Arusha

It's time to begin your safari. Welcome to Tanzania! After we greet you and provide you with the trip briefing, we'll take you out to help you discover why so many people think Tanzania is the best place in Africa to go on safari.

Spend some time in Arusha, both the gateway city for most safaris in northern Tanzania and a fascinating place to explore. Enjoy good restaurants, streets filled with energy and so many snapshots of vibrant Tanzanian city life. It’s everything you look for in an urban pit stop.

You will be met in Arusha by someone from our company. They will greet you and get you ready to begin your trip with us.

The elegant rooms have hardwood floors and you'll find that the onsite swimming pool and gym are perfect for relaxing. The restaurant, too, is excellent and the tree-filled grounds help you forget the busy city streets not far away.

Day 3 to 5 Central Serengeti National Park

Welcome to the Serengeti's most popular wildlife area. It's here in the heart of the park, in the Central Serengeti, that you find the densest concentrations of wildlife. Big cats and elephants are frequently seen in this area, and this section of the park is rich in acacia trees and big Serengeti horizons.

Serengeti National Park (Day 4)

Expect big cats, elephants and giraffes in the Serengeti, and that’s just the start on a canvas of big-sky horizons, flat-topped acacias and beautiful grasslands.

Activity Day 3

Your base here in the Serengeti for this stage of your safari is the Serengeti Serena Safari Lodge. It has a fantastic location atop a hill that looks out over the plains. There aren't many other safari lodges close by, which adds to the sense of being somewhere special. Rooms are large and lovely and most come with terrific views, while the restaurant, swimming pool, bar and gift shop are all delightful.

Day 6

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.

Activities Day 6

Morning

Transfer by Road, Lake Manyara Serena Safari Lodge to Ngorongoro Crater

Afternoon

Our expert guide will take you on a game drive and you’ll see a large number of animals and learn so much about wildlife this afternoon in Ngorongoro Crater.
Share a sundowner with us in Ngorongoro Crater. It's the perfect way to end your day, a sunset view over a few drinks.

Accommodation – Day 6

Mid-Range Farm of Dreams Lodge

You'll enjoy the quiet, palm-fringed surrounds of Farm of Dreams Lodge, close to Karatu and just off the road between Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro. Large rooms with mosquito nets, earth colors and safari prints make for a good night's sleep, while the swimming pool and restaurant might make you feel like you never want to leave.

Day 7

Day 7 Tarangire National Park

Explore one of Tanzania’s most rewarding national parks, a land of big baobab trees, big elephants and big cats. No wonder this ends up being the favorite park in Tanzania for many visitors. Sightings of wildebeest, giraffes, hippos, buffaloes, baboons, vervet monkeys and zebras are also almost guaranteed. Lions are plentiful here – Tarangire is home to one of Tanzania’s healthiest lion populations. While you’ll have to work a little harder to see a cheetah or leopard, it will only enhance your excitement when you do. You can also look forward to classic safari scenery – savannah plains, river woodlands and rocky hills.

Activity Day 7

You'll be heading down more safari trails in search of animals in Tarangire National Park when we take you on a guided game drive. This is the best thing about many safaris, and you'll hopefully see many animals.

Accommodation – Day 7

Mid-Range Lake Burunge Tented Lodge

Not far from the lakeshore just outside the north-western boundary of Tarangire National Park, Lake Burunge Tented Lodge combines an excellent location with fine rooms. The elevated rooms have thatched roofs and wooden floors, as well as large balconies from which to enjoy the views. You're close to the park but nicely secluded from other lodges and camps. You can also enjoy the restaurant and swimming pool.

Day 8 Final day with us

Arusha, at the heart of northern Tanzania's safari circuit, offers more than just a starting point for us. The aroma of street food fills the air.

Arusha balances its safari hub role with genuine urban Tanzanian life.

Activities Day 8

Morning

Come with us this morning for a guided game drive. We love showing off the landscapes and wildlife of Tarangire National Park, and part of the excitement is about never quite knowing which animals are going to appear.
