Distance: 130 km
Your adventure begins with a morning pickup from your hotel, where you will meet our professional driver-guide for a pre-safari briefing. After breakfast, we’ll drive to Tarangire National Park, renowned for its stunning landscapes dotted with majestic baobab trees and its exceptional elephant population. The park’s diverse habitats include savannah, swamps, and woodlands, which support an impressive variety of wildlife, including zebras, giraffes, wildebeest, and an array of bird species. Keep an eye out for predators such as lions and cheetahs, especially during specific seasons.

After breakfast, we’ll journey to the legendary Serengeti National Park, traveling through the scenic Ngorongoro Conservation Area. En route, we’ll pass by Olduvai Gorge, an iconic archaeological site often referred to as the “Cradle of Mankind.”
As we approach the Serengeti, the terrain transforms into vast, open plains that seem to stretch endlessly. This iconic landscape perfectly embodies the Maasai word “Siringet”, meaning “the land that flows on forever.” Covering over 6,000 square miles, the Serengeti hosts the world’s largest mammal migration, including over 1.5 million wildebeest. Arrive in time for a captivating game drive before settling in for dinner and an overnight stay at your selected lodge, luxury camp, or basic campsite.

Around mid-morning, we’ll return to your lodge or camp for brunch before heading towards Ngorongoro Crater, with another stop at Olduvai Gorge for those interested in its historical significance and insights into the culture of the Maasai people.
Your evening will be spent at accommodation perched along the crater rim, offering breathtaking views of the Ngorongoro Highlands and the crater below. Enjoy a delicious dinner and relax in preparation for the next day’s adventure.
Day 4: Ngorongoro Crater – Arusha
Travel time: Approx. 4 hours
Distance: 190 km
An early start ensures you make the most of your time exploring the Ngorongoro Crater, often called Africa’s Garden of Eden. After breakfast, we’ll descend 2,000 feet to the crater floor in a 4×4 safari vehicle. The UNESCO World Heritage Site boasts lush grasslands, freshwater springs, and swamps that sustain an estimated 25,000 large animals, including the rare black rhino, herds of wildebeest, zebras, elephants, and predators like lions and cheetahs. Enjoy a picnic lunch amidst the crater’s stunning scenery before ascending the crater walls in the late afternoon for the return drive to Arusha, where you’ll be dropped off at your hotel (accommodation at your own expense).
This marks the end of your incredible safari, leaving you with cherished memories of Tanzania’s unmatched natural beauty and wildlife.
