Itinerary

1. Day 1: Expedition to Tarangire National Park

   • We will pick you up from your Arusha accommodation and proceed to Tarangire National Park. This is one of the largest national parks in Tanzania in the Manyara region. It is characterised by large herds of elephants, tree-climbing lions, and the fascinating baobab trees, also called the Tree of Life, for their almost mythical powers that some cultures attach to them. This park is primarily known for the Tarangire River, which flows all year round.
   • After a whole day game drive, you will be transferred to Eileen’s Tree Hotel in the evening for dinner, a warm shower, and an overnight stay.

2. Day 2-3: Serengeti Safari Adventure

   • We will visit Serengeti National Park in Central Seronera, known for its diverse wildlife, including the “Big Five” lions, leopards, elephants, rhinos, and buffaloes. The park also hosts a UNESCO World Heritage Site with 200,000 zebras, 300,000 Thomson’s gazelles, and wildebeests, creating an unforgettable wildlife experience.
   • After a whole day game drive, you will be transferred to Osinon camp and lodge in the evening for dinner, a warm shower, and an overnight stay.

3. Day 4: Exploration of Ngorongoro Crater

   • After breakfast, we will leave for an early morning drive to Ngorongoro Conservation Area for a game drive.
   • This is another UNESCO World Heritage Site located west of Arusha in the crater highlands of Tanzania. This area is named after Ngorongoro Crater, the world’s largest caldera. The stunning landscape of Ngorongoro, with its vast expanses of highland plains and concentration of wildlife of some 25,000 animals, makes this place one of the most exotic natural wonders on earth.
   • After a whole day game drive, you will be transferred to Eileen’s Tree Hotel in the evening for dinner, a warm shower, and an overnight stay.

4. Day 5: Journey to Lake Manyara National Park

   • After breakfast, we will drive to Lake Manyara via a Maasai village.
   • The park derives its name from the Maasai word Manyara, which is the name for the plant Euphorbia tirucalli, which the Maasai people use to grow livestock stockades. Manyara produces a stock-proof hedge, which is very durable among other similar kinds. A specimen of Euphorbia tirucalli can be found at the entrance of the gate of the Great Rift Valley belonging to the faultline in the earth’s crust, which stretches 8,000 kilometres (4,971 miles) from Turkey to the mouth of the Zambezi River in Mozambique.
   • In the afternoon, you will be taken to the airport.
