These safari parks all have their own unique character. Lake Manyara is a beautiful park with dense vegetation, much of which is taken up by a lake with good game and bird watching.

We will pick you up at the airport in Arusha or Kilimanjaro. One of our representatives will stand with a sign with your name in the arrivals hall. You will then be transferred to your hotel where you will have time to recover after a long journey. Arusha is beautifully situated at the foot of Tanzania's second highest mountain, Mount Meru. Just a few kilometres away is Africa's highest mountain Kilimanjaro. The region is characterised by coffee and banana plantations. Arusha is high above sea level, which makes the climate very pleasant.
In the morning you will be picked up from your hotel in Arusha and drive to Lake Manyara National Park. The drive takes about 2 hours and as there is a lot of activity along the roads in Tanzania, it is an exciting and colourful experience. You will have lunch at a picnic area inside the park. The park is a bird lover's paradise and here you can see pelicans, storks and flamingos among others. The vegetation is dense with many different plants, which is exciting as you don't know what animals might appear after the next turn. Lake Manyara is famous for its tree-climbing lions, but they are nevertheless rare to see. In the middle is a large lake where animals often gather to drink. At dusk you will end your safari and return to your accommodation for some relaxation before dinner.
After breakfast you will drive to Tarangire National Park. Here you start with a walking safari of about 1,5 hours with an armed ranger. Walking on the savannah is an incredibly awesome and unique experience. Tarangire is a lush and hilly national park and the vegetation is incredibly diverse. In the park you can see many of the spectacular baobab trees. Tarangire is best known for its large elephant population, which you can often get very close to, but there are also a variety of other animals such as antelope, buffalo, giraffe, zebra and all the big cats. During the dry season, the Tarangire River attracts large numbers of animals. At dusk, you will end your safari tour and return to your accommodation for a moment of relaxation before dinner.
After breakfast you start your journey to the Serengeti. The journey takes about 4-5 hours and you will pass hilly areas with Masai guarding their cattle in their traditional red checkered cloth shirts. Before entering the park itself you will have a picnic lunch. The last few hours of the drive are very bumpy. In the afternoon when you arrive you will go on a safari. But already on the way to the gate itself you will probably see many animals. Depending on when you visit the park, you will be able to see parts of the annual migration of millions of wildebeest and zebra. The landscape is largely savannah with the characteristic acacia trees. This makes it relatively easy to spot animals. Before sunset you will return for dinner at your accommodation, which is located in the heart of the Serengeti. There you may see, but most probably hear, animals during the evening and night.
Today there will be an exciting full day safari in the Serengeti. You'll get up early in the morning to watch the savannah come to life. On safari here you will see many of the animals synonymous with Africa. The day is spent spotting animals such as giraffes, ostriches, hyenas, antelopes, zebras, cheetahs, hippos and elephants. We will bring picnic lunch to eat at a suitable spot inside the reserve. In the afternoon/evening you will go on another tour as the sun sets over the park. At dusk you return to your accommodation in central Serengeti for dinner. Sitting on the savannah surrounded by all the sounds and smells of Africa and looking up at the starry sky is magical.
Getting up early in the morning and feeling the fresh air and seeing the morning mist in the Serengeti is something very special. But for many predators, this is the time of day when they are most active. The Serengeti has the world's largest concentration of felines and there is a good chance of seeing them. The Seronera area in particular, where you will be staying, is very animal dense. Standing up in the safari jeep and feeling the warm wind and looking out over the Serengeti is an fantastic feeling. After a morning/mid-morning safari in the Serengeti, you will head on to the Ngorongoro Crater. The accommodation is adjacent to the crater and there is a lot of wildlife around. Here you will have a short guided walking tour along the crater and have the opportunity to enjoy the magical views. If you prefer to go directly to the accommodation, this is of course also possible.
Early in the morning you start the journey down into the Ngorongoro Crater. The trip along the crater rim and then down to the crater itself is a powerful experience. Ngorongoro Crater is the world's largest inactive volcano and there is a height difference of almost 600 metres from the crater rim down to the crater floor. The crater is called the Garden of Eden because there are between 25,000 - 30,000 wild animals in this area. At a nice picnic area, often full of hippos, the day's lunch is taken. This is one of Africa's most wildlife-rich areas, so you are sure to see many animals. If you're lucky, you may see the endangered black rhino. After an intense day in the crater, you begin the journey back to Arusha. On the way back, you may choose to stop for a short visit to a genuine Maasai village to get an insight into how they live.
You can enjoy a leisurely breakfast at the hotel. If you choose to add our Zanzibar package, we will pick you up at the hotel in good time before your flight departs. If you have booked your own flight from Arusha or Kilimanjaro, you decide when you want to be picked up for transport to the airport. If you would like a transfer on another day, this can be arranged.
