Plan Trip
Day 1: Arrival
On arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport you will be met by your Safari driver who will transfer you to your lodge for your overnight stay.
Accommodation: Mt Meru Game Lodge or Similar
Day 2: Tarangire National Park
After breakfast, pack your bags and depart Tarangire National Park for some very rewarding game drives. Tarangire National Park has some of the highest population density of elephants anywhere in Tanzania, and its sparse vegetation, strewn with baobab and acacia trees, makes it a beautiful and special location. Before the rains, droves of gazelle, wildebeest, zebra, and giraffes migrate to Tarangire National Park’s scrub plains where the last grazing land still remains
Accommodation: Maramboi Tented Camp or Similar
Day 3: Serengeti National Park
We leave Lake Manyara and drive to the western part of the Serengeti, where breathtaking landscapes, endless plains, and abundant wildlife await you. The Serengeti, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is sure to capture your imagination. This region is an ideal location to witness the annual migration of large herds of animals during this time of year. Commonly spotted in the Serengeti are elephants, hippos, lions, zebras, wildebeests, cheetahs, leopards, and more.
Accommodation: Kubu Kubu Tented Lodge or Similar
Day 4: Center Serengeti
The game drive takes you through the central Serengeti region. The Seronera area of the Serengeti has a high concentration of lions and offers some of the most picturesque and scenic landscapes in the park. Endless plains are dotted with large, scattered outcrops of granite rock formations, which lions often use as perfect hideouts for a lazy afternoon nap.
Accommodation: Kubu Kubu Tented Lodge or Similar
Day 5: Ngorongoro Conservation Area/Olduvai gorge
Today we leave the Serengeti, enjoy a last morning game drive and head to the Ngorongoro Crater passing some very scenic landscapes. En route to the Ngorongoro crater we stop by Olduvai Gorge, a world-renowned archeological site that has been called the “Cradle of Mankind”
Accommodation: Ngorongoro Serena Lodge or Similar
Day 6: Ngorongoro Crater
Today you enjoy a full day of game viewing at the Ngorongoro Crater floor. Called the eighth wonder of the world, the crater won’t fail to take your breath away as you stand on the rim looking down a 10-mile wide crater floor with abundant wildlife. The Ngorongoro Crater is the largest unbroken volcanic caldera in the world covering approximately 260 sq. km’s with walls rising 600 meters from the crater floor. Before the Ngorongoro Volcano exploded and collapsed 2 million years ago, it was one of the world’s tallest mountains. Now, it is home to more than 30,000 large mammals – mainly gazelle, buffalo, eland, hartebeest and warthog – and has the highest predator density in the world.
Accommodation: Ngorongoro Serena Lodge or Similar
