Day 1

Arusha

This is the moment you've been waiting for: your Tanzanian safari starts here. You have so much to look forward to and we'll get your trip underway as soon as we give you an introduction to our team and explain what lies ahead.

You'll spend some time in Arusha, where there's always something happening. The endlessly busy streets are a fascinating performance in their own right, but the city also has clamorous markets, excellent museums and a fun food scene. Best of all, it's a window on local life that you just can't get out in the safari parks.

Activities Day 1

Advise Time

You will be met in Kilimanjaro Airport by someone from our company. They will greet you and get you ready to begin your trip with us.

We'll drop you off at your hotel in Arusha.

Accommodation Day 1

Karama Lodge

Lodge

In Arusha you'll be staying at Karama Lodge, which has unusual log cabins that sit high on stilts amid the trees. Despite being close to the city center, you'll be woken not by traffic noise but by the sound of birds singing. Facilities here include a swimming pool, restaurant, massage area, and bar, and some of the profits here go to support a local children's charity.

Day 2

Tarangire National Park

We think you’ll be impressed with Tarangire National Park. Most visitors love the distinct shapes of the baobab trees silhouetted against the sky that make this place feel like a fairy-tale African landscape. Or visitors remember the elephants that roam in family bands everywhere throughout the park. If you’re lucky, you’ll also encounter the big cats – lions especially, but also cheetahs and leopards – that are always a possibility here. And there’s a fair degree of certainty that you will tick wildebeest, giraffe, hippo, buffalo and zebra off your wildlife-viewing list.

Activity Day 2

Morining & evening

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

Angata TarangirenCamp

Angata TarangirenCamp will be your base on this leg of your trip.

Meal Plan Lunch & Dinner

Day 3

Ngorongoro Crater

You never forget the first time you see Ngorongoro Crater from above. Looking out from the rim of this extraordinary volcanic crater is like gazing down upon a lost world of wildlife and astonishing beauty. The drive down into the crater will be just as special, taking you down onto the crater floor where nature rules and no human being may pass the night. You'll spend the best part of a day exploring this remarkable place, seeing its lions, hyenas, black rhinos, elephants, flamingos and so much more. And when it comes time to leave, you'll keep looking back over your shoulder trying to hold these experiences in your memory.

Central Serengeti National Park

You'll spend time in the Central Serengeti, which lies in the heart of the park and is filled with wildlife.

Activity Day 3

All Day

On this morning's guided game drive, we'll take you down into Ngorongoro Crater; the drive down is one of the most thrilling possible approaches for a day of wildlife viewing. You'll be down in the crater for most of the day looking for lions, hyenas, black rhinos and more.

Accommodation Day 3

Ngorongoro Safari Lodge

Lodge

You have so much to look forward to at Ngorongoro Safari Lodge. For a start, staying here puts you close to Ngorongoro Crater, but out in the Maasai countryside away from the tourist crowds. The tents sit on stilts and have large private terraces, wooden floors and leather armchairs or sofas: the tents here really are excellent. You'll also eat well and have ample opportunities to immerse yourself in local Maasai culture.
