Itinerary

Day 1: Tarangire National Park

Main Destination: Tarangire National Park

Driving time to the park: 4 hours

Time in the park: 8 hours

Meal: Full board accommodation

Leave your hotel at 06:00 am and transfer to Tarangire National Park via Arusha. The drive takes approximately 4 hours to reach the park gate. You’ll spend around 7 hours within the park, renowned for its large elephant population and giant baobab trees. Other animals like giraffes, antelopes, lions, and cheetahs can also be spotted. At 05:00 pm, you’ll leave the park and head to your camp for dinner and an overnight stay.

Day 2: Serengeti National Park

Main Destination: Serengeti National Park

Driving time to the park: 1 hour

Time in the park: Full-day tour

Accommodation: Camping/Mid-range/Luxury lodge

Meals: Full board accommodation

After breakfast, head towards Serengeti National Park via the beautiful high-lying farmland of Karatu and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Leaving the highlands behind, descend into the heart of wild Africa—the Serengeti National Park with its endless plains, rolling into the distance as far as the eye can see. Head to the central park area, known as the Seronera area, which features the Seronera River, providing a valuable water source and attracting diverse wildlife representative of most of the Serengeti's species.

Day 3: Serengeti National Park

Main Destination: Serengeti National Park

Time in the park: Full-day game viewing

Accommodation: Camping/Mid-range/Luxury lodge

Meals: Full board accommodation

After breakfast, start your game viewing. Serengeti is vast (about 1,400 km²), nearly the size of Northern Ireland. During the drive in North Serengeti, known as the park's heart, expect to see a wide diversity of animals, especially cats (lions, leopards, cheetahs). After the game drive, enter the Ngorongoro Conservation Area for dinner and overnight. We suggest having warm clothes and light gloves as the highlands can get chilly and windy.

Day 4: Ngorongoro Crater

Main Destination: Ngorongoro Crater

Driving time to the park: 10 minutes

Time in the park: 7-8 hours

Meals: Breakfast & Lunch and then transfer back to Airport for Departure/Hotel

After an early breakfast, you'll be picked up from your hotel or campsite to start the day. We plan to start very early to maximize your 7-8 hours in the park before transferring back to the airport. The Ngorongoro Crater offers a breathtaking blend of scenery, wildlife, and a fascinating historical and cultural element. Expect to see rhinos, elephants, lions, giraffes, pink flamingos, hyenas, and more. After a 6-8 hour game drive, make your way back to the airport or Moshi.

Additional Tips:

  • Pack comfortable clothing, sturdy footwear, a hat, sunscreen, and insect repellent.
  • Bring binoculars for wildlife viewing.
  • Be respectful of wildlife and the environment.
  • Remember to hydrate yourself, especially during game drives.
