Itinerary

This concise safari is ideal for those who are seeking to experience the highlights of Tanzania, including the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater and open savannah of the Serengeti. With premium parks visit such as Tarangire and Lake Manyara, this tour is designed to let you explore the best wildlife that Tanzania has to offer.

On arrival, you will be transferred to nearby Arusha, then board your 4x4 vehicle for the drive to Lake Manyara, enjoying the first glimpse of Tanzania as you go. You will arrive at the Lake Manyara Kilimamoja Lodge for lunch, a newer property with 100 rooms and uninterrupted views of the Manyara plains.

After lunch, enjoy an afternoon game drive in Lake Manyara National Park, home to hippos, elephants, flamingos, plains game, and the famous tree-climbing lions that reside here. The landscape is a mixture of dense forest, small open plains, and lush waterside grasses, a feast for herbivores such as buffalo. All meals are included.

The morning begins with the long scenic drive north to the world renowned Serengeti National Park, arriving at the lovely Serengeti Kati Kati Tented Camp in the central Serengeti in time for lunch. This well-located mobile camp in the central Serengeti has just 10 comfortable tents with en-suite facilities and offers an authentic safari experience.

In the afternoon, board your safari vehicle for a game drive exploring the open plains in the search of abundant wildlife. Return to the camp for dinner and overnight. All meals are included.

Morning and afternoon game drives in the Serengeti will await today, seeking out the big cats, rhino, buffalo, giraffe, and many others that inhabit the vast open plains of this huge park which borders the Maasai Mara in its northeast corner. The sheer scale and seemingly endless horizon in this part of Africa is simply spellbinding. There is also the opportunity to take an optional balloon safari over the plains. All meals are included.

After breakfast, you will depart for Ngorongoro, viewing game across the vast Serengeti plains, with the option to visit the archaeological marvel of Olduvai Gorge, the discovery site of some of the earliest ever humanoid remains. You will have a lunch en-route. You will continue for an afternoon game viewing in the Ngorongoro Crater, one of nature's true wonders. Its collapsed volcanic crater is 12 miles in diameter and 2,000 feet deep.

The fertile soil and lake attract a huge range of wildlife, and your afternoon crater game viewing will seek to uncover them amongst the floor's forests, grasses, and plains. Dinner and overnight are spent at the Oldeani Mountain Lodge, located on a hillside above the quiet town of Karatu, with beautiful rooms and far reaching views. All meals are included.

In the morning, you will have an option to go back to the Ngorongoro for a half-day game drive before heading to The Tarangire National Park. Tarangire National Park is one of the most famous parks in Africa for elephants population. It has remarkable number of elephants per square meter than any other park in Africa. Here you will have a half-day afternoon game drive before going back to the Tarangire Safari Lodge for an overnight. All meals are included.

You will have a half-day game drive in Tarangire before going back to Arusha. This is expected to be last day of your safari and if you have a flight to your next destination, Arend Safaris will gladly transfer you to the airport at no additional costs. If you also wish to spend this day in Arusha, they can arrange that too. Breakfast and lunch are included.
