Day 1

Arusha

You've been dreaming of your Tanzanian safari for so long and the day when it begins has finally arrived. We'll greet you, give you a quick rundown on what happens next and answer your questions. Then we'll take you out to discover what this incredible country has to offer.

The streets of Arusha are fantastic places for you to learn a little more about local life in a northern Tanzanian city. Apart from the endless fascination of life on these busy streets, there are museums, markets, and a rewarding local food scene for you to experience.

Activity Day 1

Arrival! Welcome to [COUNTRY].

Accommodation Day 1

Arusha Serena Hotel

Hotel

Close to Arusha but with a relaxing location by a lake east of town, Arusha Serena Hotel, offers the best of both worlds. As with all Serena hotels, the rooms are large and filled with safari-themed decor, and with all the facilities you'd expect from a hotel of this standard, including a bar, restaurant, swimming pool and spa.

Meal Plan Breakfast

Day 2

Tarangire National Park

Explore one of Tanzania’s most rewarding national parks, a land of big baobab trees, big elephants and big cats. No wonder this ends up being the favorite park in Tanzania for many visitors. Sightings of wildebeest, giraffes, hippos, buffaloes, baboons, vervet monkeys and zebras are also almost guaranteed. Lions are plentiful here – Tarangire is home to one of Tanzania’s healthiest lion populations. While you’ll have to work a little harder to see a cheetah or leopard, it will only enhance your excitement when you do. You can also look forward to classic safari scenery – savannah plains, river woodlands and rocky hills.

Activity Day 2

Explore fantastic Tarangire on a guided game drive that will take you out among the baobab trees to look for lions, elephants and more.

Accommodation Day 2

Tarangire Baobab Tented Camp

Tented camp

You'll see elephants when you stay at Tarangire Baobab Tented Camp, and sometimes they even come into camp. The camp is well inside the boundaries of Tarangire National Park, and the whole area is filled with baobabs. You'll be sleeping in large, canvas safari tents that have en-suite facilities, and there's a dining tent where you'll take your meals.

Meal Plan Breakfast

Day 3 & 4

Serengeti National Park

Discover just why so many safari visitors fall in love with the Serengeti. Keep an eye out for big cats, even bigger elephants, and almost every kind of safari wildlife you can imagine. You might also see giraffe, impala, zebra, wildebeest, buffalo, hundreds of species of birds, and that may all just be before breakfast. You’ll never forget watching these animals interact, whether you see a hunt, a vast herd or a mother protecting her cub or calf. The Serengeti’s scenery is also unforgettable – observe Africa’s iconic acacia trees, the park’s golden grasslands and great piles of boulders known as kopjes.

Activity Day 3

You'll enjoy the safari experience of a lifetime on your guided game drive through Serengeti National Park. A guide will help you look for big cats, elephants and more as you drive through so many classic safari landscapes.

Activity Day 4

Come and see the best of Serengeti National Park as we take you out on a guided game drive. It really is a terrific way to feel a part of Africa with the wind in your hair as we drive you around to look for animals.

Accommodation Day 3 & 4

Makoma Ndogo Camp

Tented camp

There's so much for you to enjoy when you stay at Makoma Ndogo Camp, which puts you in the perfect position to enjoy this leg of your safari.

Meal Plan Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner Drinking water

Day 5

Ngorongoro Crater

Ngorongoro is a special place and the first time that you descend onto the crater floor is like no other safari experience in Africa. This is a world unto itself, one where you’ll encounter the crater’s 600-strong population of hyenas, as well as critically endangered black rhinos. You’ll also find elephants with larger-than-average tusks, and more than 50 lions living in the crater. But it’s the sheer beauty of Ngorongoro that will most likely live longest in your memory. From early morning, mist rises from the crater, revealing steep, forested walls, secret waterways where hippos wallow, and a world of abundant wildlife hidden away from the rest of the world.

Activity Day 5

Your guided game drive down into and around Ngorongoro Crater, is one of the best safari experiences you can have in East Africa. Watch for lions, hyenas, black rhinos and more as you spend most of the day exploring the crater floor.

Accommodation Day 5

Ngorongoro Forest Tented Lodge

Tented camp

At Ngorongoro Forest Tented Lodge you're midway between Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara National Park, as well as being in a beautiful, tree-filled area with fine views. The accommodation, in large and attractive, canvas-walled rooms, is as good as the location. Enjoy the views with a drink or your meal, and you can relax in the swimming pool. Friendly service is also part of the experience here.

Meal Plan Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner Drinking water

Day 6

Lake Manyara National Park

You're going to love Lake Manyara National Park because it promises experiences you just can't get elsewhere. For example, this is one of the most compact parks in Tanzania's north: the park consists of a narrow strip of forest shadowed by vast Lake Manyara on one side and the cliffs of the Rift Valley escarpment on the other. The park is known for its large elephant and baboon populations, and part of the excitement of visiting here is never quite knowing when you're going to come face-to-face with an elephant. And then there are the tree-climbing lions for which the park is famous: this is one of very few places in Africa where lions routinely climb (and spend much of their time up in) trees.

Activity Day 6

Welcome to one of the best things about going on safari as we take you on a guided game drive. It's a thrilling experience being out in the fresh air and hoping that animals appear to make this a memorable day on safari.

Accommodation Day 6

Manyara's Secret

Lodge

At Manyara's Secret you have a privileged position next to the eastern shore of Lake Manyara – no other places in the area have a location anything like it. Whether you're in one of the many swimming pools (some of which are attached to the private villas) or sipping a cocktail on the public terrace, there's so much to enjoy here. The designer villas are super-stylish and the food here is first-class.
