Your Itinerary

1Day

Arusha to Tarangire National Park

Depart Arusha after breakfast and drive to Tarangire National Park. Spend the day among giant baobab trees and one of Tanzania's largest elephant populations. Watch for giraffes, zebras, and diverse birdlife along the Tarangire River. The park's dry-season concentration of wildlife is among the highest in the country. Overnight at Country Lodge Karatu or Marera Valley Lodge.

2Day

Karatu to Serengeti National Park

Drive from Karatu through the scenic highlands and descend into the vast Serengeti plains. The landscape transition is breathtaking as farmland gives way to endless savanna. Afternoon game drive searching for lions, hyenas, elephants, and large herds of plains game. Overnight at Serengeti Heritage Camp or Thorn Tree Camp.

3Day

Full Day in the Serengeti

A full day of extended wildlife viewing in the Serengeti with a packed lunch. Your guide will focus on the areas with the best recent sightings. Look for lions, cheetahs, giraffes, and buffaloes. Depending on the season, you may witness the great wildebeest migration moving across the plains. Overnight at the same camp.

4Day

Serengeti to Ngorongoro Highlands

Early morning game drive to catch the peak predator activity in the golden light. After a late breakfast, depart the Serengeti and drive through the scenic highland transition toward the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Arrive at your lodge on the crater rim in the late afternoon. Overnight at Rhino Lodge or Ang'ata Ngorongoro Camp.

5Day

Ngorongoro Crater to Arusha

Descend into the Ngorongoro Crater early in the morning for a half-day game drive on the crater floor. The crater is home to lions, buffaloes, hippos, zebras, and hyenas, with a chance to spot the endangered black rhino. Picnic lunch on the crater floor.
