Your adventure begins as you land at Kilimanjaro International Airport, where a friendly and experienced driver-guide will be waiting to greet you. After a brief welcome and introduction, you’ll head straight into the wilderness, driving toward Lake Manyara National Park for your first game drive.
Lake Manyara is a small but enchanting park, known for its dense forests, vibrant birdlife, and tree-climbing lions. As you enter, you’ll be surrounded by lush greenery and the sounds of nature, monkeys leaping through the trees, hippos splashing in the lake, and flamingos painting the shoreline pink. After a few hours of exploration, you’ll drive to your lodge for dinner and a restful night.

After an early breakfast, you’ll leave Lake Manyara and begin the journey to Tanzania’s crown jewel: the Serengeti. The road takes you through the rolling hills and coffee farms of the highlands before entering the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, where you may catch a glimpse of Maasai herders leading their cattle through the rugged landscape.
Once you enter Serengeti National Park, the horizon stretches out in all directions. The word “Serengeti” means “endless plains” in Maasai, and it’s easy to see why. Wildlife is everywhere, zebras grazing in the distance, giraffes browsing treetops, and if you’re lucky, a pride of lions relaxing under a shady acacia. Spend the afternoon on a thrilling game drive before heading to your accommodation in the heart of the bush.

Wake up to the calls of birds and the distant roar of lions. Today is dedicated entirely to exploring Serengeti National Park, one of the most celebrated safari destinations in the world. With a full day of game viewing ahead, you’ll have the chance to track predators on the hunt, observe elephants crossing open grasslands, and marvel at the sheer volume of wildlife around you.
Whether you’re visiting during the Great Migration or not, the Serengeti never disappoints. Break for a picnic lunch under a tree, and continue your journey through the park’s varied habitats, each offering something unique. As the sun sets, return to your accommodation and enjoy a hearty meal while sharing stories around the campfire.

After breakfast, you’ll begin your journey toward the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Upon reaching the crater rim, prepare to witness one of the most awe-inspiring views in Africa. Stretching 19 kilometers across and 600 meters deep, the Ngorongoro Crater is home to nearly every species of East African wildlife, including the endangered black rhino.
Descend into the crater floor for a safari unlike any other. The enclosed ecosystem allows for incredibly close wildlife encounters, zebras graze peacefully beside buffalo, while lions stalk nearby. Look out for hippos wallowing in freshwater pools and elephants roaming the swamps. After a memorable game drive, ascend the crater and settle in for your final night in the bush.

On your final day, you’ll head to Tarangire National Park, often considered a hidden gem among Tanzania’s parks. Known for its ancient baobab trees and large herds of elephants, Tarangire offers a beautiful, off-the-beaten-path safari experience.
Enjoy a half-day game drive through its varied terrain, grasslands, swamps, and river valleys, where you might spot elands, giraffes, lions, and a wide variety of bird species. After soaking in the last sights and sounds of the African wilderness, begin the drive back to Arusha. Depending on your flight schedule, you’ll either be dropped off at your hotel or directly at the airport, bringing your unforgettable Tanzanian safari to a close.
