TOUR ITINERARY
Day 1 – Arusha – Tarangire National Park
Pick up from Arusha and travel to Tarangire National Park. We arrive at the lodge in time for lunch and after lunch drive to Tarangire National Park for an afternoon game drive. One of Tanzania’s most spectacular wildlife reserves, the national park consists of a huge but shallow soda lake (taking up two-thirds of the park) at the foot of the western Great Rift Valley escarpments.
Day 2 – Tarangire – Serengeti Plains
After breakfast, we drive to Serengeti National Park through the beautiful highland farmlands of Karatu and Ngorongoro Conservation Area. We leave the highlands behind and descend into Serengeti National Park, the heart of wild Africa with endless plains as far as the eye can see. We drive to the central park area known as the Seronera area, one of the most wildlife-rich habitats in the park. The Seronera River is a precious water source for the area, and therefore attracts wildlife representing most of the Serengeti species.
We arrive in time for lunch and enjoy an afternoon safari in Serengeti National Park.
Dinner and overnight stay in Seronera area depending on your criteria and type of accommodation option required.
Day 3 – Serengeti Plains
Be one of the lucky few to glide over the Serengeti Plains in a hot air balloon (additional cost and prior arrangement required). Drift silently over the awakening bush, watch for wildlife and enjoy some of Africa’s breathtaking scenery as you fly over the river and numerous small villages.
After breakfast, head out for a game drive along the Sogore River Circuit. It follows the plains south of the Seronera River and you’ll see lions, Thomson’s gazelles, topi, ostriches and cheetahs. The visitor centre near Serengeti Seronera Lodge and the public campsite is worth a visit after your morning game drive.
In the afternoon, walk the Kopjes Circuit, a counterclockwise loop around the Maasai Kopjes. This kopjes usually attracts large numbers of lions and fearsomely large cobras. The kopjes are weathered granite boulders that dot the plains. Most of them are miniature ecosystems that provide shade and drinking water in the puddles that remain in the rocks after the rains. For this reason, in the dry season the kopjes are particularly good for wildlife watching. You can also observe lions lying in wait for the animals to come to drink.
Dinner and overnight stay in the Seronera area depending on your desired criteria and type of accommodation.
Day 4 – Serengeti Plains – Ngorongoro Crater
After breakfast at the lodge we drive to Ngorongoro Conservation Area. We stop at Olduvai Gorge, a place with ancient history, where anthropologists Dr. Lois and Mary Leakey discovered the skulls of the Nutcracker and the Handyman, both very important links in the evolutionary chain of humanity.
We arrive at the lodge in time for lunch, followed by a half-day safari to descend 600 metres into the crater to view the wildlife. Ngorongoro National Park is supplied with water and forage all year round and is home to a wide variety of animals including wildebeest, zebras, buffaloes, elands, warthogs, hippos and herds of gigantic African elephants. Another major attraction of this picturesque national park is the dense forests. It is home to many predators including lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs and the elusive leopard, which can sometimes only be spotted by a trained eye.
Dinner and overnight stay is included depending on your criteria and accommodation type.
Day 5 – Ngorongoro Crater – Arusha
Enjoy breakfast before returning to Arusha. Upon arrival in Arusha, have lunch and end your African safari adventure. Groups are expected to tip their tour guides approximately $20 per day. Your safari service concludes with hotel drop-off.
Serengeti National Park: Where Nature Dances in Timeless Harmony
Step into the heart of Africa’s wilderness, where golden savannahs stretch endlessly, kissed by the horizon. In Serengeti National Park, life unfolds in its raw and majestic beauty—the thunder of hooves during the Great Migration, the quiet elegance of a lion’s gaze, and the vivid colors of sunsets painting the sky. Here, every moment whispers a story of resilience and interconnectedness, reminding us that we, too, are part of this grand tapestry of life. Let the Serengeti awaken your spirit and inspire your soul.
🌍✨
Tarangire National Park: A Symphony of the Wild
Step into Tarangire National Park, where ancient baobabs stand as sentinels of time and golden savannahs stretch as far as the eye can see. Here, the gentle giants of Africa—the elephants—roam in majestic herds, and the Tarangire River breathes life into a diverse ecosystem teeming with wildlife. This is a place where nature’s rhythms unfold in perfect harmony, reminding us of the beauty and balance of the untamed world. Let Tarangire inspire your spirit and awaken your connection to the wild. 🌍✨
