Itinerary

1. Day 1: Tarangire National Park

   • After breakfast, the tour starts. 

   • First stop is Arusha Town for any last-minute purchases before we head off on safari. 

   • Afterwards, we head towards the Tarangire National Park for a game drive with a picnic lunch at the park. Tarangire is well known for its huge elephant population and Baobab trees. It forms the centre of an annual migratory cycle that includes up to 3000 elephants, 25,000 wildebeest and 30,000 zebras. 

   Dinner and overnight at Kudu Camp Karatu.

   Meals: Lunch, dinner, bed and breakfast

   Accommodation: Kudu Lodge and campsite

2. Day 2: Serengeti National Park

   • After breakfast, depart for Serengeti National Park, via the beautiful high lying farmland of Karatu and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Leaving the highlands behind, we descend into the heart of wild Africa – the Serengeti National Park – with its endless plains, rolling into the distance as far as the eye can see.

   • Then head to the central park area, known as the Seronera area, one of the richest wildlife habitats in the park, featuring the Seronera River, which provides a valuable water source to this area and therefore attracts wildlife well representative of most of the Serengeti’s species.

   • Arrive in time for lunch and enjoy an afternoon game drive in the Serengeti national park.

   Dinner and breakfast and overnight at Serengeti Seronera campsite.

   Accommodation: Serengeti Seronera Campsite

   Meals: Lunch, dinner, bed and breakfast

   Distance: 145 km

   Non-game-viewing time : 3 – 4 hours

3. Day 3: Serengeti National Park to Ngorongoro Crater

   • Early morning game drive and after depart to Ngorongoro Conservation area. 

   • Stopover at Olduvai Gorge, boasting a history dating back to the dawn of time. It was here, that the anthropologists Dr Lois and Mary Leakey discovered the skulls of ‘Nutcracker Man’ and ‘Handy Man’, both very significant links in the chain of human evolution.

   Late afternoon transfer to Ngorongoro Simba Campsite where you will have dinner and overnight. 

   Meals: Lunch, dinner, bed and breakfast

   Accommodation: Ngorongoro Simba Campsite

   Distance: 145 km

   Non-game viewing time: 2 – 4 hours

4. Day 4: Ngorongoro Crater to Arusha to Airport

   • After an early breakfast, descend over 600 meters into the crater to view wildlife. Supported by a year-round water supply and fodder, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area supports a vast variety of animals, which include herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, eland, warthog, hippo, and giant African elephants. Another big draw card to this picturesque national park is its dense population of predators, which include lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs and the ever-elusive leopard, which sometimes requires a trained eye to spot.

   • Visit Lake Magadi, a large but shallow alkaline lake in the southwestern corner, which is one of the main features of the crater. A large number of flamingos, hippos and other water birds can usually be seen.

   • Late afternoon transfer to Arusha for dinner and overnight or airport drop off. (Accommodation can be included upon request at extra cost.)

   Distance: 210 km

   Non-game-viewing time: 3 – 4 hours
