This 4-day safari gives you a chance to witness Big Five animals and other interesting animals. You will be immersed in the unspoiled nature of real Africa and sleep in midrange accommodations. All this with the assistance of a tour operator based in Arusha. You’ll enjoy full board meals on safari, a professional personal English-speaking guide, and private use of the pop-up roof 4*4 vehicle (jeep) with mineral water, power sockets, binoculars, full Air conditioning (AC) & selected accommodations.
Your safari begins in Arusha, where you’ll meet your guide and fellow travelers before heading toward Tarangire National Park. As the city fades behind you, the landscape opens into the African bush, with giant baobabs rising above the golden plains. Spend the day on a game drive, following elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, buffaloes and, with luck, lions as they move through the park.
Accommodation:Ngorongoro Inn Lodge
After breakfast, leave Mto wa Mbu and travel through the Ngorongoro Highlands toward the Serengeti. The journey itself becomes part of the adventure as the scenery changes from cultivated land and highland villages to open savannah.
As you enter Serengeti National Park, the feeling changes you are now in one of Africa’s most famous wildlife landscapes. Begin your game drive as you make your way toward the campsite, watching for lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest and other wildlife. By evening, arrive at your campsite, enjoy dinner, and settle in for a night surrounded by the sounds of the Serengeti.
Accommodation: Serengeti Wildbeast lodge
Drinks: No Drinks
Wake up to the sounds of the wilderness and prepare for a full day exploring the Serengeti. After breakfast, head out with your packed lunch and spend the day following the wildlife across the endless plains.
Depending on the season, you may encounter large herds of wildebeest and zebras moving through the ecosystem, while lions, cheetahs, leopards and hyenas follow close behind. Some moments may be exciting, others beautifully quiet but together they create the experience of being truly immersed in the Serengeti. Return to lodge in karatui for dinner and another night under the African sky.
Today, you will journey to the iconic Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Tanzania’s most visited attractions. Descend into the crater for a full day of game driving, where you can spot an array of wildlife such as hippos bathing in the watering holes, graceful gazelles grazing on the plains, and perhaps even the rare black rhinoceros. The Ngorongoro Crater is renowned for its high density of predators, so be on the lookout for lions, and hyenas as they roam the grasslands in search of their next meal. After an unforgettable day in this natural wonder, make your way to Arusha. As the safari comes to an end, you’ll carry with you not just photographs, but the stories, friendships and moments that made your safari truly memorable.
As hunting is strictly prohibited in all the National Parks, this means Tanzania has one of the highest densities of wildlife. Higher park fees keep the number of visitors relatively low and so there is a more exclusive experience. All safaris in Tanzania are conducted with 4×4 off-road vehicles unlike other countries that use small family cars and this makes the experience all the more memorable
Expect familiar food with occasional local touches. Most lodges will offer buffet-style dining whilst others may have set menus. If you have any dietary requirements we can accommodate these for you but please let us know in advance. If you are out driving during the day, your driver will take a packed lunch for you.
The different National Parks – Tarangire, Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro – may look close on a map, but there is a considerable amount of driving between each location. Approximate driving times are listed below. While this gives you the opportunity to see more of the Tanzania countryside – look out for Maasai villages beside the road, children tending their herds of goats and cattle, and roadside markets – you will not see any game during these transit times.
We would recommend being up and early for a game drive – around 6am as this time is cooler in the day, the animals are most active, you get ahead of the other tourists and since the park fees are paid by day (end of day being 6pm) then leaving early means you can get the most out of the day. However, as we provide you with a completely customisable itinerary, you are free to choose your schedule depending on your comfort.
Our safari vehicle can accommodate up to 7 people. Every vehicle will have a rooftop and sliding windows for better viewing experience
