Day 2: 2025/2026 Arusha – Tarangire

After breakfast today, you will be picked up from Gran Melia Arusha in Arusha by your safari guide. As you journey to Tarangire National Park, you’ll traverse the Maasai plains adorned with scattered acacia trees. Along the way, you’ll pass Maasai adorned in their vibrant attire, tending to their cattle, riding bicycles, and some using donkey carts.

Tarangire National Park spans nearly 3,000 square kilometers and is renowned for its large herds of elephants and iconic baobab trees. The park derives its name from the Tarangire River, which meanders through its terrain. During the dry season (June – November), Tarangire becomes particularly remarkable as vast wildlife populations converge around the Tarangire River, their primary water source. The park’s diverse habitats support over 2,000 elephants and host more than 500 bird species.

In the evening, you will drive to Lake Manyara Serena Lodge for overnight accommodation. Throughout the safari, breakfast, lunch, dinner, and drinking water will be provided daily per person.

Day 3: 2025/2026 Tarangire-Serengeti

After breakfast today, you will depart for Serengeti National Park. Upon arrival, you will embark on an afternoon game drive until sunset.

Serengeti National Park is renowned as the world’s last great wildlife refuge, home to an estimated three million large animals, many of which participate in a spectacular seasonal migration—an awe-inspiring natural phenomenon. Encompassing 14,763 square kilometers, the name “Serengeti” derives from the Maasai word ‘Siringet’, meaning “endless plains.”

Later in the evening, following the game drive, you will drive to overnight accommodation at Serengeti Melia Lodge. Throughout the safari, breakfast, lunch, dinner, and drinking water will be provided daily per person.

Day 4 : 2025/2026 Serengeti-Ngorongoro.

Today you will have the half day game drive in Serengeti National park, enjoy the wildlife game drive in this side of Serengeti before drive to Ngorongoro Conservation Area later on the day.

There are several documented resident lion prides just within a one-hour game drive radius from Seronera. During the dry season, the resident prides begin to shift west and north in their territories and concentrate in the central region of the park. The dry season is a particularly good time for lion viewing in the Central Serengeti. The Central Serengeti is also one of the best areas in Africa to spot the elusive leopard. You may be lucky enough to encounter this majestic cat in the branches of the sausage trees that dot the banks of the Seronera River.

Today after the breakfast you descend into the crater for a crater game tour. Often called the eighth natural wonder of the world, the Ngorongoro Crater is the largest intact crater in the world. About 2 million years ago the Ngorongoro volcano erupted, and its walls collapsed. The volcano floor sank to create a natural enclosure with its 600m tall walls. Now, at over 19 kilometres wide, Ngorongoro Crater is filled with great areas of acacia forest, hippo filled swamps and open grasslands. These different habitats contain over 30,000 animals – including elephants, warthogs, flamingoes, magnificent birdlife, the rare black rhinoceros and all the predatory cats. The Maasai can also be seen grazing their cattle alongside the buffalo and wildebeest.

Later on the evening you will drive back to Arusha and proceed to Kilimanjaro International airport for your flight back home.
