Day 1 - Isebania to Central Serengeti

Upon completing your immigration formalities at the Isebania border, our guide/driver will meet you around 11:00-11:30 AM. The journey from the Isebania border to Central Serengeti takes approximately 4.5 hours.

Along the way, you'll have the opportunity to view picturesque villages and lush farmlands before entering the Serengeti National Park. You will have the opportunity to enjoy lunch at Ikoma Gate while your guide finalizes the park entry formalities. As you traverse the park, you'll enjoy en-route game drives, with your arrival at the accommodation expected between 5:00-5:30 PM. The day concludes with a hearty dinner and a restful night at your accommodation.

Day 2 and Day 3 - Central Serengeti

Begin your day with a leisurely breakfast before setting out for a full-day game drive around 8:00 AM. Equipped with a packed lunch, you will explore the central Serengeti and return to the lodge in the late afternoon, around 5:00 PM.

Alternatively, embark on an early morning game drive at 6:00 AM. After returning to the lodge for breakfast, enjoy some relaxation before heading out for an afternoon game drive, with a packed lunch provided.

Your exploration will take you through the Central Serengeti, particularly the Seronera area, known for its rich wildlife habitat and the Seronera River, which draws a diverse array of species (Three of the big cats: Lions, Cheetahs, and Leopards. Other predators like hyenas, wild dogs, wildcats, caracals, etc. And other animals like elephants, buffalos, and giraffes). This region is famed for its large lion prides and offers exceptional game viewing opportunities year-round.

You can enjoy your meal at a scenic picnic spot at your preferred time and continue exploring the central Serengeti.

The day will conclude around 5:00 PM, followed by a hearty dinner and a restful night at your accommodation.

Day 4 - Central Serengeti to Ngorongoro

After early breakfast, embark on a morning game drive in Serengeti National Park, immersing yourself in its vibrant wildlife. Around noon, depart for the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, with a picnic lunch provided for your journey. The transfer to your accommodation in Ngorongoro/Karatu takes approximately 3.5 to 4 hours.

The route begins with a scenic drive through the Serengeti, where you may encounter gazelles and impalas. Before you exit Serengeti and enter the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, you can enjoy a picnic lunch at Naabi Hill Gate and also go for a short hike to the top of the hill for magnificent views of the Serengeti plains. As you progress, the landscape transitions to a drier, somewhat dusty terrain, with occasional Maasai villages along the way. After another 1.5 hours, you will ascend into the Ngorongoro Highlands, where the climate becomes cooler and more pleasant.

The day concludes with a hearty dinner and a restful night at your accommodation, reflecting on the extraordinary experiences of the day.

Day 5 - Ngorongoro Crater Tour (5 Hours) to Lake Manyara

You will start early with a quick breakfast before descending into the Ngorongoro Crater around 6:30 AM (you might reach Crater floor by 7:00 AM if you sleep in Karatu the previous night). The Ngorongoro Crater, the world’s largest collapsed volcanic caldera, encompasses approximately 260 square kilometers of pristine natural beauty. Surrounded by a ring of extinct volcanoes, the crater floor, which is adorned with various watering holes, supports a diverse population of around 25,000 animals. With depths exceeding 2,000 feet, this remarkable caldera offers a unique and breathtaking landscape.

A 5-hour game drive on the crater floor offers a chance to see diverse wildlife, including African elephants, buffalo, black rhinos, hippos, hyenas, cheetahs, and lions. Keep your camera ready to capture the action. After a picnic lunch at the scenic Hippo Pool, you will begin your ascent out of the crater.

Following the ascent, we will transfer you to the accommodation of your choice, where you will enjoy dinner and an overnight stay.

Day 6 - Lake Manyara to Tarangire

Start your day with a leisurely breakfast before embarking on a full-day game drive in Lake Manyara National Park, with a picnic lunch provided. As you enter the park, you’ll be greeted by lush Acacia and Mahogany forests, setting the stage for an exciting day of wildlife exploration. Throughout the afternoon, you'll continue your game drive, with opportunities to observe a variety of wildlife such as buffaloes, giraffes, impalas, baboons, and blue monkeys. The park is known for its rare tree-climbing lions, though sightings are infrequent. Please note that recent years have seen a significant decline in the flamingo population, so the park's shoreline may not display the vibrant pink hues of thousands of flamingos as seen in the past.

Given the relatively low concentration of wildlife sightings, we recommend considering optional activities to enhance your visit. You may choose to book in advance for canoeing on the lake or the treetop walkway, both of which offer unique perspectives and experiences in this remarkable park. Additionally, you might explore activities outside the park, such as a village walk in Mto Wa Mbu, hiking in the surrounding forest, or mountain biking in the nearby areas.

The day will conclude around 5:00 PM, after which you'll enjoy a hearty dinner and a restful night at your accommodation.

Day 7 - Tarangire

Start your day with a leisurely breakfast before embarking on a 1.5 to 2 hour drive to Tarangire National Park. Upon arrival, you will enjoy a full-day game drive in this renowned park, known for its iconic baobab trees and the Tarangire River, which attracts some of the largest elephant herds in Africa. In addition to elephants, you may encounter lions, leopards, cheetahs, lesser kudus, buffalo, oryx, eland, giraffes, and zebras.

The day concludes with a hearty dinner and a restful night at your accommodation, reflecting on the extraordinary experiences of the day.

Day 8 - Tarangire game drives till afternoon. Transfer to Arusha in late afternoon and end of tour

On the final day of your safari, after breakfast, you will enjoy game drive at Tarangire National Park. By mid-afternoon, you will depart for Arusha which is about 2 to 2.5 hour drive, where you will be dropped off at your preferred location by approximately 5:30 PM. As your safari comes to an end, you will reflect on an incredible experience and numerous cherished memories before bidding farewell to your team.
