Day 1: Tarangire National Park
Your safari adventure begins! After a warm welcome, you’ll set off to explore Tarangire National Park, famous for its towering baobab trees, enormous elephant herds, and thriving lion population. This park is a favorite among many travelers thanks to its rich wildlife and dramatic landscapes. Expect to see wildebeest, giraffes, hippos, buffalo, baboons, vervet monkeys, and zebras. If luck is on your side, you may also spot cheetahs or leopards stealthily roaming the savannah. From open plains to river woodlands and rocky outcrops, Tarangire offers classic safari scenery at its very best.
Accommodation: Fig Tree Lodge & Camp – Located in Mto wa Mbu, just minutes from Lake Manyara National Park. Enjoy an on-site bar and restaurant, swimming pool, and Wi-Fi for a comfortable stay.
Day 2 & 3: Serengeti National Park
Few places on Earth rival the Serengeti for sheer beauty and wildlife spectacle. Over these two days, you’ll experience unforgettable moments: watching a leopard laze on a tree branch, seeing cheetahs in full chase, or hearing the distant roar of lions across the plains. Elephant families may graze right beside your vehicle, and vast herds of buffalo, zebra, or wildebeest will stretch across the horizon like a living river. Every game drive offers the chance to create memories that will last a lifetime.
Accommodation: Seronera Public Campsites – Camp under the Serengeti skies, listening to the magical sounds of the African night.
✨ Optional Experience (Day 3 Early Morning):
Take a hot-air balloon ride over the Serengeti at sunrise ($560 per person). Drift above the plains as the morning light transforms the landscape—an unforgettable way to see wildlife from a new perspective.
Day 4: Serengeti to Ngorongoro Highlands
The adventure continues with another morning in the Serengeti, because there’s no such thing as too much time here. After a final game drive, you’ll journey toward the Ngorongoro Highlands. Spend the night at Ngorongoro Simba Campsite, perched high on the crater rim. From here, watch the morning mist rise from the caldera and share safari stories with fellow travelers. The campsite is conveniently located close to the main descent road into the crater, setting you up perfectly for tomorrow’s exploration.
Day 5: Ngorongoro Crater
Prepare for one of the highlights of your safari—the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the world’s greatest natural wonders. Cloud forests line the crater rim, while the view across the vast caldera will leave you breathless. Descend into this unique ecosystem, where you’ll encounter lions, hyenas, elephants, hippos, and, if you’re lucky, the rare black rhino. With its dense wildlife population and stunning scenery, the crater offers one of the best safari days imaginable.
As your journey draws to a close, you’ll carry with you incredible memories of Tanzania’s landscapes, wildlife, and warm hospitality.
