Safari Itinerary
Day of Arrival in Tanzania
Today marks the official start of your safari adventure. After an early breakfast, you
will leave Arusha and drive to Tarangire National Park, one of Tanzania’s most beautiful
and less crowded parks.
Tarangire is known for its open savannahs, large baobab trees, and huge herds of
elephants, some of the largest in East Africa. The park is also famous for its red
termite mounds, tree-climbing lions, and rich birdlife, with over 500 bird species
recorded.
You’ll enjoy a full day of game driving through the park. Keep your eyes open for a
variety of animals including lions, giraffes, buffaloes, warthogs, baboons, ostriches,
cheetahs, mongooses, and impalas. The elephants, often seen near the Tarangire River,
are a real highlight, watching them move together in big groups is a special experience.
The peaceful scenery, mixed with the sound of birds and views of wildlife, makes the day
feel both exciting and relaxing. In the evening, you will head toward the Manyara area,
where you will have dinner and spend the night, getting a good rest for more adventures
the next day.
Day-1: Arusha to Tarangire National Park
Today you head deeper into the wild! After an early breakfast, you will check out and
begin your drive toward the famous Serengeti National Park. Along the way, you’ll pass
through the beautiful Ngorongoro Conservation Area, with chances to spot wildlife and
enjoy the changing landscapes. As you approach the Serengeti, the views open up into
endless golden plains, dotted with acacia trees, and herds of animals grazing in the
distance. It’s easy to see why the Serengeti is considered one of the Seven Natural
Wonders of Africa.
You’ll stop for a picnic lunch on a kopje, a small rocky hill that offers great views and
maybe even a few animals nearby. After lunch, you’ll continue your journey with a
leisurely game drive in the Serengeti. The park is world-famous for hosting the Great
Migration, where millions of wildebeests, zebras, and gazelles move in search of fresh
grass. You’ll also have the chance to see elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, hippos,
antelopes, and, if lucky, predators like lions, cheetahs, and leopards. The Serengeti is
full of life, with animals constantly moving across its vast landscapes. The feeling of
being surrounded by wildlife, under the wide African sky, is something truly
unforgettable.
In the evening, you’ll arrive at your lodge or camp inside the park, where you’ll rest
and get ready for another exciting day ahead.

you’ll hear the sounds of birds as the day begins. With your guide leading the way,
you’ll go in search of the Big Five, lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino, as
well as other animals like zebras, giraffes, gazelles, hyenas, and more. Your guide may

wildebeests, zebras, and gazelles move across the plains in search of greener grass.
It’s a truly special moment for any wildlife lover. The scenery here is just as
beautiful, wide open grasslands, scattered acacia trees, and a cool breeze make for a
peaceful yet thrilling experience. Don’t forget to look up, with over 500 species of
birds, from eagles to colorful rollers, the skies are just as full of life as the land.

Conservation Area. You’ll spend the night near the Ngorongoro Crater, ready for another

is the best time to spot wildlife, as many animals are active and easy to see. The
crater is known for having a high concentration of animals in a small area, making it
one of the best places in Africa to see wildlife. You will enjoy a game drive along the
crater floor, where you’ll have a good chance of spotting the Big Five, lion, elephant,
leopard, rhino, and buffalo, all living in this natural enclosure. You’ll also see
zebras, wildebeests, hippos, hyenas, and many types of antelopes.

Ngorongoro Crater was formed over two million years ago when a large volcano erupted and
collapsed. Today, it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most famous safari
spots in the world.
