Your Journey
This superb Tanzanian safari begins with a warm welcome at Kilimanjaro International Airport before you transfer to your lodge on the peaceful outskirts of Arusha. Set against sweeping views of Mount Meru, your accommodation offers a serene rural atmosphere with Mediterranean-inspired cuisine, ideal for relaxing after your journey or enjoying a gentle exploration of the surroundings. The next morning, your adventure begins as you travel to Tarangire National Park, famed for its vast elephant herds and dramatic baobab forests. Here, the Tarangire River sustains an abundance of wildlife, drawing animals to its life-giving waters during the dry season and creating exceptional game-viewing opportunities year-round.
Your journey continues with another morning in Tarangire, watching elephants dig for hidden water sources and witnessing intricate wildlife interactions along the riverbed. After an enriching game drive, you travel onwards to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, where your lodge sits along the crater rim with breathtaking views into this natural amphitheatre. The following morning, you descend into the Ngorongoro Crater—a thriving ecosystem of grazing plains, acacia forests, swamps, and the shimmering Magadi Salt Lake. Home to lions, rhinos, hyenas, and countless flamingos when the lake fills, the crater offers one of Africa’s most concentrated wildlife experiences.
From here, you journey into the legendary Serengeti. After entering the park, you enjoy an afternoon game drive across its rolling grasslands, where predators roam and plains game graze beneath expansive skies. The next day is spent exploring the Serengeti more deeply, either on a full-day game drive or split morning and afternoon outings. With zebras, buffaloes, warthogs, and countless bird species often seen straight from camp, the Serengeti delivers unforgettable moments from dawn to dusk.
Your safari concludes with a sunrise farewell to the Serengeti before travelling to Seronera Airstrip for your flight back to Arusha. The golden morning light, the sound of birdlife, and the vast open plains create a fitting end to an exceptional journey through Tanzania’s most iconic landscapes.

Journey Itinerary
Upon arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport, you will be picked up and transferred to your hotel in Arusha. Depending on your energy, you can either relax at the lodge or explore the beautiful surroundings. Located just outside Arusha, the hotel offers spectacular views of Mount Meru thanks to its serene rural setting. The on-site restaurant specializes in Mediterranean à la carte cuisine and features an open kitchen, an indoor dining area, and a terrace with umbrellas.
After being picked up from your hotel, your driver will take you to Tarangire National Park, a sanctuary famous for its large elephant herds. The park is named after the Tarangire River, which serves as the only source of water for wildlife during the dry season. Towering baobab trees rise majestically across the rolling savannah, creating an iconic landscape that is truly unforgettable. In the rainy season, the southern part of the park functions as a natural water reservoir, while during the dry season, the animals gather in the green, nutrient-rich swamp areas, providing excellent opportunities for wildlife viewing and photography.
Along the dried-up Tarangire River, countless elephants can be seen probing the sandy ground with their trunks. These intelligent animals instinctively dig for water, not only sustaining themselves but also providing a vital resource for other wildlife, creating a remarkable cycle of nature. During today’s game drive, you will have the chance to witness this fascinating behaviour up close and learn about both the large and small wonders of the park. After an unforgettable morning among Tarangire’s iconic wildlife, you will be transferred to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.
This morning you will descend into the extraordinary natural wonder of the Ngorongoro Crater for a game drive. The crater’s rich ecosystem supports a large number of grazers, which in turn sustain around 100 lions. The lowest point is Magadi Salt Lake, which varies in size with the seasons and attracts countless flamingos when filled. In the afternoon, you will continue your journey to the Serengeti. After our time in the crater, we will continue on towards the Serengeti National Park.
There is something truly magical about waking up in the Serengeti. From the lodge, you may spot zebras, buffaloes, or warthogs grazing peacefully nearby, while the calls of guinea fowl fill the air. The African bush surrounds you as you enjoy breakfast against the backdrop of this breathtaking landscape. Today’s game drive can be organized either as a full-day adventure or split into a morning and an evening drive, depending on your preference. You will cover a distance of approximately 80 to 100 kilometres, spending six to seven hours exploring the vast plains and witnessing the incredible diversity of wildlife, or two shorter drives of about three and a half hours each for a more relaxed pace.
The chirping of birds will gently wake you in the morning, and the stunning Serengeti landscape can be seen directly from the bed of your lodge tent. As the sun rises, the golden light illuminates the plains, creating the perfect backdrop for one last souvenir photograph. Filled with memories from the past few days, you will pack your bags and bid farewell to the lodge staff. You will then drive to Seronera Airstrip, covering 60 to 100 kilometres in about two hours, where you will board your flight for Arusha Airport, where your tour comes to an end upon arrival. You are flying with Auric Airline, the total baggage allowance is 20kg (15 kg luggage and 5 kg hand luggage).
