You’ll be picked up at Kilimanjaro International Airport and transferred to your lodge in Arusha. Take time to rest and enjoy the view of Mount Meru or explore the city if you arrive early. Your guide will meet you for a briefing in the evening.
After breakfast, begin your adventure with a drive to Tarangire National Park, known for its towering baobab trees and large elephant herds. Enjoy a full-day game drive with chances to see lions, zebras, giraffes, wildebeest, and many bird species along the Tarangire River.
Today you journey to the Serengeti, Tanzania’s most famous park. Drive through the stunning Ngorongoro Highlands with scenic stops along the way. Once in Serengeti, begin game viewing en route to your camp. Watch out for lions, leopards, cheetahs, and herds of wildebeest.

Optional: Hot air balloon safari available upon request.
After breakfast, enjoy a final Serengeti game drive before heading to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Descend into the crater, a natural amphitheater teeming with wildlife such as rhinos, lions, elephants, buffaloes, and flamingos. It’s one of the best places to see the Big Five in one day.
On your final day, enjoy a morning safari in Lake Manyara National Park, known for its lush groundwater forest, flamingos, hippos, and the rare tree-climbing lions. After lunch, return to Arusha for your flight or hotel drop-off.
