• day 1

  Arusha - Tarangire National Park

  

  Your private Safari guide will pick you up at your hotel in Arusha at 7:30 am and you will head to Tarangire National Park, famous for its large number of elephants. The sun gives the land a rusty red appearance as it rises on the horizon. The grass is brittle during the dry months; you can hear the crunch as animals stumble over the straw. The river keeps its surroundings lush; however, it has shriveled, as at the end of the dry season, keeping the animals near the banks and the wildlife active throughout the year. The air is cool, sheltered from the afternoon sun. The baboons are not disturbed by the vehicle as they continue on their way, active in the sun, searching for food, turbulent among the troop, eventually settling down and heading to the river in search of water to quench their thirst. In the late afternoon, as the baboons head to the water, you leave the park and drive to the comfort of your lodge for dinner and overnight at FARM OF DREAMS LODGE

• day 2

  Serengeti National Park

  

  After an early breakfast, we collect our lunch boxes and our journey takes us west and north, our exciting destination being a name familiar to everyone: the Serengeti! Along the way, the vastness of the land and the raw beauty of the landscapes are revealed, and your driver-guide will help you spot animals and birds. This is just a glimpse of things to come, as the Serengeti is home to what is probably the largest gathering of wild animals in the world. After enjoying a picnic, you will look forward to more wildlife viewing opportunities in this UNESCO World Heritage Site. Located in grasslands, savannah, woodlands, and mountain landscapes, which creature will appear next? These "endless plains" are home to elephants, buffaloes, lions, leopards, cheetahs, hippos, and crocodiles. The adventure has truly begun. In the late afternoon, exhausted and exhilarated, your driver-guide will take you to your accommodation for dinner and overnight at TUKAONE SERENGETI CAMPS

• day 3

  Full day of wildlife observation in the Serengeti Community Verified icon

  

  Waking up in the Serengeti is something truly special. The sights, sounds, and smells of Africa are all around us, and a full day of adventure in the world's most famous national park awaits us. After breakfast, we begin today with the morning part of our safari in Serengeti National Park, marveling at the breathtaking landscapes, the ever-changing light, and the always entertaining wildlife, all explained by your expert driver-guide. After our picnic, we set off again in search of wildlife in this magnificent park. The wonders of the Serengeti subtly evolve throughout the day. The myriad animals and birds are the "stars of the show" and the dramas of nature can unfold at any moment. Of course, the animals do not work on a set schedule, so we may find lions or leopards, elephants and zebras, cheetahs and antelopes at any time on our drives. In the late afternoon, we return to the comfort of our tented camp for dinner and a well-deserved rest. Overnight at TUKAONE SERENGETI CAMPS.

• day 4

  Visit to the Ngorongoro Crater

  

  Today, we leave very early, as we will find our way to the Ngorongoro Crater by leaving the endless plains of the Serengeti. We will have plenty of time to enjoy another true spectacle: the Ngorongoro Crater, often described as a wonder of the world, and your safaris in the crater will show you why. You will have 6 hours of safari in the crater. First, there is the volcanic caldera (the largest in the world), full of grasslands, forests, and swamps, a breathtakingly beautiful setting. Secondly, the permanent water at the bottom of the crater is home to a resident population of over 25,000 large mammals. Here you will find many reasons why you chose to come on safari, as there is a very high chance of spotting all the Big 5 in one day: elephant, lion, leopard, hyena, jackal, wallowing hippopotamus, kob, baboons, and even the rare black rhinoceros that finds refuge here. In the late afternoon, after many safaris, we ascend the crater and drive to the comfort of your lodge. Overnight at FARM OF DREAMS LODGE  

• day 5

  Visit to Lake Manyara National Park - Arusha

  

  In the morning, after breakfast, departure for Lake Manyara National Park with a packed lunch for the safaris. The lake occupies a large part of the park; the forest begins just as you cross the park gate, along the base of the Great Rift Valley and the hot spring to the west of the park. The park is home to tree-climbing lions, buffaloes, giraffes, hippos, troops of baboons, ostriches, flamingos, Egyptian geese, and much more. After your picnic, continue with afternoon safaris before leaving the park and returning to Arusha, to your hotel or to the airport for your next plans.
