After breakfast, you’ll meet your guide and be transferred to Tarangire National Park to begin your safari adventure.
Weave your way through the park to the rustic luxury of Kuro Tarangire Camp, which is in the heart of the national park.
Kuro Tarangire is your home for the next two nights, it is set amid a grove of Acacia and Kigelia trees not far from the banks of the Tarangire River. Made up of just six spacious and stylish safari tents comfortably spaced out in the bushveld, it is located in a fantastic part of the park. You’ll have a view of the rhythmic movement of wildlife traversing the park from the hills in the west to the swamps on the eastern side, and between the north and the south along the river
Accommodation: Kuro Safari Camp Tarangire
Meal Plan : Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
With an early start you’ll have the full day to experience Tarangire. Safaris in Tarangire are all about getting you right out there. Explore the swamps or through the woodlands in your custom designed vehicle, or head out on foot right from camp.
Tarangire National Park is known for having the greatest concentration of wildlife outside of the Serengeti ecosystem. Named after the river that crosses through it, this park measuring around 1,100 square miles is located southwest of Arusha and is sometimes sadly missed by those heading for the more well-known of the national parks in Tanzania.
One of the main draws of underrated Tarangire is that it is much quieter than many of Tanzania’s parks and reserves, so your safari experience will be peaceful and more authentic.
Included today is a night drive in the park, giving you a chance to search for elusive nocturnal wildlife.
Accommodation: Kuro Safari Camp Tarangire
Meal Plan : Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
After breakfast, you’ll you will game drive your way out of Tarangire and into Lake Manyara National Park on your way to the Ngorongoro Crater.
Lake Manyara is home to herds of elephants, pods of bathing hippos and tree-climbing lions, among other big mammals. In the wet season, you’ll also see the diverse varieties of bird species which migrate here, including flamingos. Lake Manyara’s rich wildlife and vegetation, with environments ranging from marshes to savannahs, are not to be missed.
Exit the park in the afternoon and enter the Ngorongoro Crater Area Authority (NCAA) and wind your way up the steep sides to your lodge on the remote western side of the rim.
Accommodation: Entamanu Safari Camp Ngorongoro
Meal Plan : Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
The Ngorongoro Crater was created when a large volcano collapsed over two million years ago. Today, the NCAA has UNESCO World Heritage Status due to the high concentration of wildlife and biodiversity in the region, including populations of endangered animals.
The views from the crater rim are spectacular, while a descent to the crater floor will see you observing grazing gazelle, stomping zebra and bathing hippos in Lake Magadi. Predators include spotted hyenas, lions and both black and golden-backed jackals.
A descent into the crater is a humbling experience and a favourite for even seasoned safari enthusiasts.

If the focus of the time in the Serengeti is to seek out the Great Migration, then depending on the time of year we will suggest the right accommodation and area.
However, during peak season from July-October, the northern Serengeti is a great bet and today you will bid your private guide farewell at Lake Manyara Airstrip for your flight north. The flight itself is a wonderful experience and keep a look out for the shapes and shadows of elephant, giraffe and herds of zebra and wildebeest as you cross the Serengeti.
Upon arrival at Kogatende Airstrip, you will be met by a guide from Lamai Serengeti, your camp for the next three nights.
Lamai Serengeti sits tucked amongst the rocks of the iconic Kogakuria Kopje. There are panoramic views of the surrounding landscape and for roughly a quarter of the year, between late July and October, this is where you’ll find the migration, right on your doorstep.
Accommodation: Lamai Safari Camp Serengeti
Meal Plan : Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
You have two full days to enjoy shared safari activities in the Serengeti, Tanzania’s most famous national park and a name synonymous with wildlife watching and limitless horizons.
The Serengeti is where you can witness the Great Migration: the largest terrestrial mammal migration in the world, one of the Seven Natural Wonders of Africa and one of the 10 Natural Travel Wonders of the World. Millions of wildebeest, zebra, gazelle and other herbivores complete an annual circuit up to Kenya’s Masai Mara and then back down to the Serengeti. The ancient cycle is known as “The Greatest Show on Earth.”
With stalking predators and stomping masses of wildebeest and zebra, a trip to the Serengeti is a must for any Tanzania safari.
