Upon arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport, you will be welcomed by your safari guide and transferred to your lodge in Arusha, a vibrant town at the base of Mount Meru. Depending on your arrival time, you may explore the local markets, sip Tanzanian coffee at a café, or simply relax at your lodge while preparing for your safari adventure.

After breakfast, head to Tarangire National Park, renowned for its ancient baobab trees and large herds of elephants. The park is home to abundant wildlife, including lions, leopards, cheetahs, zebras, giraffes, and over 500 species of birds. Enjoy a full-day game drive with a picnic lunch along the Tarangire River, a key water source that draws animals during the dry season.

Today, step into the rich culture of the Maasai people, one of East Africa’s most iconic tribes.

Participate in a guided walk with a Maasai warrior and hear stories around the fire. This experience offers deep insight into their ancient traditions and modern-day challenges.

After breakfast, depart for the world-famous Serengeti National Park, traveling through the scenic Ngorongoro Highlands. Along the way, stop for panoramic views and optional cultural visits. Enter the Serengeti and begin spotting wildlife immediately—lions lounging in the sun, cheetahs scanning the plains, and herds of wildebeest grazing. Arrive at your lodge or tented camp in time for dinner under the stars.

Spend a full day exploring the vast savannahs of Serengeti. Rise early for a sunrise game drive when predators are most active. Track the Big Five, including elusive leopards and massive buffalo. Depending on the season, you may witness parts of the Great Wildebeest Migration, especially if traveling from June to October. Enjoy a bush lunch or return to camp for a siesta before heading out again in the late afternoon.

After a leisurely breakfast, take a final game drive as you exit Serengeti. Travel to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, arriving at the crater rim in time for lunch with a view. Descend 600 meters into the Ngorongoro Crater, a wildlife-rich paradise home to black rhinos, hippos, lions, and thousands of flamingos on Lake Magadi. Enjoy an unforgettable afternoon safari in this unique ecosystem.

Depart for the colorful town of Mto wa Mbu, a melting pot of over 120 different tribes. Take a guided village tour where you'll visit banana plantations, rice paddies, local markets, and traditional homes. Enjoy a freshly prepared Swahili lunch with a local family. This is a chance to experience the daily life of rural Tanzanians and understand the cultural diversity of the region.

After breakfast, depending on your flight schedule, you can relax at your lodge or explore Arusha town, visit the Cultural Heritage Centre, or shop for souvenirs. Later, transfer to the airport for your departure, filled with incredible memories of wildlife and culture.
