Stay program

day 1
Kilimanjaro Airport to Arusha
Upon arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) or Arusha Airport (ARK), which serves domestic flights, you will be warmly welcomed by a representative from our team. You will then be transferred to your accommodation in Arusha for an overnight stay at Forest Hill Lodge (https://www.foresthill.co.tz/), where you can relax and prepare for the exciting safari adventure that awaits you the following day.
day 2
Arusha to Tarangire National Park
After breakfast, you will depart for Tarangire National Park, named after the Tarangire River that winds its way through the landscape. This “river of warthogs” is the only permanent source of water for wildlife in the region during the dry season, attracting a remarkable concentration of animals. In some areas, the vegetation is lush, with tall elephant grass and acacia woodlands. Tarangire is renowned for its large elephant herds, often seen gathering along the riverbanks. It offers one of the best opportunities to observe these gentle giants in their natural environment—from playful calves to imposing bulls. The park is also home to giraffes, bushbucks, hartebeests, and an extraordinary variety of birdlife, boasting more breeding bird species than anywhere else on Earth. After lunch and an extensive game drive, you will proceed to Karatu, arriving in the late afternoon for dinner and an overnight stay at Farm of Dreams Lodge (https://farmofdreamslodge.com/).
day 3
Karatu to Ndutu
After breakfast, you will head to the far southern reaches of Serengeti National Park, known as Ndutu. Lake Ndutu, located within the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, forms part of the southern Serengeti ecosystem. Like many of the Rift Valley lakes, its waters are alkaline, yet they remain drinkable and attract a remarkable diversity of wildlife. From December to April, the Great Migration dominates the short-grass plains, where vast herds of wildebeest gather to calve, accompanied by zebras and a host of predators. The area is also home to large populations of elephants, resident game, and a rich variety of birdlife. The Ndutu region lies at the junction between the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and Serengeti National Park, creating a seamless wilderness that offers some of the most spectacular wildlife viewing in Africa. After lunch and an extensive game drive, you will proceed to your accommodation, where you will stay for 3 nights. All meals and overnight at a Tanzania Bush Migration Camp (https://tanzaniabushcamps.com/ndutu-mobile-camp/).
day 4
Ndutu
Full day with morning and afternoon game drives in the Ndutu Plains
day 5
Ndutu
The Ndutu region lies within the northern section of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and extends into the unfenced southern reaches of Serengeti National Park, forming a natural and seamless meeting point between these two exceptional wilderness areas. All meals and overnight stay at Tanzania Bush Migration Camp https://tanzaniabushcamps.com/ndutu-mobile-camp/.
day 6
Ndutu – Ngorongoro Crater – Karatu
After an early breakfast, you will depart and drive towards the Ngorongoro Crater for a full day of game viewing. The Ngorongoro Crater is one of Africa’s most iconic landmarks and boasts the highest density of wildlife on the continent. Often described as the Eighth Wonder of the World, this natural amphitheater offers breathtaking scenery and exceptional wildlife encounters. While the crater can be busy with other vehicles, the abundance of animals and the sheer beauty of the landscape make it an unforgettable experience. Ngorongoro is one of the best places in Africa to spot the endangered black rhinoceros, and it is home to the entire Big Five. It is also an excellent location for observing lions and Cape buffalo throughout the year. A packed lunch will be enjoyed at one of the scenic picnic sites within the crater. In the late afternoon, you will continue to Farm of Dreams Lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.
