Upon arrival, you’ll embark on an exciting afternoon game drive, where you may spot elephants, zebras, giraffes, and various antelopes roaming the park's vast landscape.

Evening : Return to your lodge or tented camp for a relaxing dinner. Enjoy the tranquil setting of the park and take in the stunning views as the sun sets behind the baobab trees.

Morning : After breakfast, depart for a full-day game drive in Tarangire National Park. Early morning is the best time to spot wildlife as many animals are active during the cooler hours of the day. Look out for herds of elephants, lions, cheetahs, and the numerous bird species that call the park home.

Afternoon : Enjoy a picnic lunch in the park, surrounded by nature. Afterward, continue your game drive, exploring more of Tarangire’s diverse habitats. Visit the Tarangire River, a popular watering hole, where you may see animals such as elephants and buffaloes coming to drink, providing excellent opportunities for wildlife photography.

Evening : Later in the afternoon, you’ll begin your journey to Serengeti National Park, one of the most famous parks in the world. After a scenic drive through the beautiful Tanzanian countryside, you’ll arrive at your accommodation in Serengeti for dinner. Enjoy a peaceful evening in the heart of the Serengeti, where the sounds of nature surround you.

Morning : Wake up early for a thrilling game drive in Serengeti National Park. The Serengeti is world-renowned for its incredible wildlife, including the "Big Five" (lions, elephants, buffaloes, leopards, and rhinos) and the spectacular Great Migration (seasonal herds of wildebeests and zebras). In the early morning, you'll have the chance to spot predators like lions and cheetahs on the hunt.

Afternoon : Enjoy a picnic lunch in the park, taking in the beautiful surroundings of the Serengeti’s vast plains. After lunch, continue your game drive, exploring different areas of the park to see more wildlife. The Serengeti’s ecosystem is diverse, so you’ll encounter an abundance of animals, from elephants and giraffes to cheetahs and hippos.

Evening : Return to your lodge or camp for a well-deserved dinner and relaxation after a day full of adventure. If you're staying in a lodge with a view of the Serengeti plains, be sure to catch the sunset – it's a truly unforgettable sight.

Morning : After breakfast, you will depart from Serengeti and drive to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. The journey takes you through the beautiful landscapes of the Great Rift Valley, with occasional stops to admire the breathtaking views. Upon arrival, you’ll head to your lodge near Ngorongoro Crater and have lunch.

Afternoon : In the afternoon, you will visit the Ngorongoro Crater for a short game drive at the rim of the caldera. This will offer you a preview of the incredible landscapes and wildlife you’ll experience the following day. The crater, which is the world’s largest inactive volcanic caldera, is home to diverse wildlife, including elephants, lions, and flamingos, as well as stunning views of the surrounding area.

Evening : Enjoy dinner at your lodge, located on the rim of the crater. The views from here are spectacular, especially at sunset, and you can relax and enjoy the evening as you prepare for the adventure that awaits you tomorrow.

Morning : Start the day early with a descent into the Ngorongoro Crater for a half-day game drive. The crater’s floor is home to an extraordinary concentration of wildlife, including large herds of buffalo, zebra, wildebeest, and the elusive black rhino. You’ll also have the chance to see predators such as lions and hyenas, as well as a variety of bird species. The early morning is the best time for animal sightings, as the wildlife is more active before the heat of the day sets in.

Afternoon : After your game drive, enjoy a picnic lunch in the crater. You’ll have the chance to relax and take in the beauty of the area before heading back to your lodge for a short break. The afternoon can be spent relaxing at your lodge, or you may opt for an optional activity such as a visit to a Maasai village.

Evening : Return to your lodge for dinner. As you reflect on the day’s experiences, relax and enjoy the serene surroundings of the Ngorongoro Crater rim. The cool evenings here are perfect for stargazing and unwinding after a day full of adventure.

Morning : After breakfast, you will depart from Ngorongoro Crater and head towards Lake Manyara National Park, a 1-2 hour drive. Lake Manyara is famous for its diverse landscapes, birdlife, and large populations of flamingos and elephants. Once you arrive, you’ll embark on a short morning game drive, which may also include spotting the park's famous tree-climbing lions.

Afternoon : Enjoy a picnic lunch in the park, surrounded by nature. After lunch, continue your exploration of Lake Manyara’s unique habitats, including the groundwater forests and the lake’s shores, where you may spot wildebeests, baboons, and various bird species.
