   • Arrive in Arusha, your gateway to Tanzania's treasure store. The charming town of Arusha rests underneath the mighty gaze of Mount Meru and is an ideal base to explore Tanzania Northern Safari Circuit.
   • Savour the beautiful sceneries of Arusha, taking a short tour of the city and its amazing people, landscapes, foods etc.

   • Stay at Gran Melia Arusha, a tranquil connection to your Tanzania safari. A little over an hour from Kilimanjaro Airport and few minutes from Arusha Airport, Arusha Gran Melia is the perfect stopover on your way to or from a Tanzanian safari. An oasis within Arusha set out on 18 acres of beautiful landscaped coffee and tea plantations. Pure tranquillity with spectacular views of Mount Meru.

2. Day 2: Tarangire National Park

   • Arrive at Tarangire and see predator & prey side-by-side in this beautiful nature's spectacle. Tarangire National Park is a hidden gem in Tanzania's most famed Northern Safari Circuit. With herds of elephants, lions and other game animals flocking to its river banks and swamps during the dry season, it offers an excellent East African Safari! As many safari-goers refers to it as a second Serengeti, Tarangire indeed lives up to the expectation of the name.

4. Day 4: Ngorongoro Conservation Area

   • Arrive in Ngorongoro Crater and explore the conservation area. Home to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, the Ngorongoro highlands in northern Tanzania offer many fascinating leisures to engage visitors. A designated UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979, the conservation area allows visitors to sample locally grown and brewed coffee, safari through a crater, and hike up another and walk in the footsteps of early man. 
   • The Ngorongoro Crater is famed for being the only intact caldera in the world. A wildlife sanctuary flourishes in its basin where the floor has been fertilised by the volcanic soil, attracting various wildlife ranging from lions and leopards to elephants and hippos.

   • THE HIGHLANDS AT NGORONGORO

   Set on the lush slopes of Olmoti Volcano, The Highlands has sweeping views right across to the Serengeti. The eight tents are canvas and perspex domes – a design inspired by traditional Maasai bomas. Our library is at the heart of the camp, with its indoor fireplace that replaces the typical safari campfire. At night, gather around a crackling fire with a glass of wine or whiskey before sitting down to a delicious three-course dinner. Luxury in every imaginable way!

5. Day 5: Serengeti National Park

   • Enter into Serengeti National Park. Stretching itself across 1.5 million hectares of land, the Serengeti National Park is known for its impressive population of wildlife—most notably the Big 5. It is perhaps more renowned for being part of the stage on which the annual Great Migration plays out.

   • SERENGETI SAYARI CAMP

   The award-winning Sayari Camp is based in the north of  Serengeti National Park. It is a prime location to witness thousands of wildebeests crash across the Mara River as part of their Great Migration.

   Overlooking the golden plains, our 15 bright and spacious suites have walk-in showers, al fresco tubs and verandas on which you can laze away the afternoon with a book. Sayari’s rim-flow pool is set between natural rock formations for guests to cool off in a while watching elephants or zebras ambling.

6. Day 6: Serengeti National Park

   • Still in Serengeti, perhaps more renowned for being part of the stage on which the annual Great Migration plays out. 
   • Each year, over two million wildebeest, a fair number of gazelles, and a small following of zebra seek better grazing areas by migrating south in the Serengeti, then west and north into the Maasai Mara before eventually returning. Unsurprisingly, the Serengeti’s bustling plains offer some of the most remarkable safari opportunities in the country, and visiting in the right season will promise an astonishing wildlife spectacle.
