Journey
Day 1: Moshi/Arusha - Tarangire National Park
After breakfast at your hotel, your safari guide will pick you up and drive to Tarangire National Park – a 2 hour drive from Arusha, 3.5 hours from Moshi. Tarangire National Park is known mostly for its large number of elephants and giraffes. It would be extremely rare not to spot a very large number during a safari game drive. Most African plains animals are present here except ther are no rhinos and not many cheetahs. There will be a break for a picnic-style lunch before continuing on with the game viewing. In the late afternoon, we will go to your campsite/tented camp/lodge inside the park for relaxation, dinner, and overnight rest.
Day 2: Full Day Tarangire
You can divide the day up as you please between game drives and enjoying your accommodation. For lunch, you can choose between taking it at the accommodation or as a picnic-style lunch while on a game drive. In the evening, you will be back at the same accommodation as the previous night for relaxation, dinner, and overnight rest.
Day 3: Tarangire - Serengeti National Park
After an early breakfast, we start traveling west, crossing Ngorongoro Conservation Area (NCA) but not through the crater this day. Reaching the western border of the NCA brings us inside Serengeti National Park. There will be game viewing broken up by a picnic-style lunch break before continuing until late afternoon. At this point, we take you to your campsite/lodge/tented camp for relaxation, dinner, and overnight rest.
Day 4: Full Day Serengeti National Park
This is your day to explore the Serengeti. There is an option (at additional cost, prior reservations will be needed.) for an early morning balloon safari. You can divide the day between game drives and enjoying the accommodation. Lunch can be either picnic-style during a break in the game drive or served at your accommodation. By evening you will be back at the same accommodation as the previous night for relaxation, dinner, and overnight rest.
Day 5: Serengeti - Ngorongoro Conservation Area
After breakfast, we depart for a game drive as we head east, exiting the Serengeti and returning to the NCA. While driving through the NCA, there will be an option for a side trip (extra charge) visiting either a Maasai village or Olduvai Gorge Museum (an important paleoanthropological site). There will be a break for a picnic-style lunch. We will reach your accommodation located near Ngorongoro Crater where you can relax, enjoy dinner, and rest overnight. The top of Ngorongoro Crater can be windy and chilly, so it is a good idea to bring a good jacket. Even a knit cap and light gloves might feel welcome.
Day 6: Ngorongoro Crater then transfer to Arusha/Kilimanjaro Airport/Moshi
Descend into the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Witness a vast concentration of animals, including the “Big Five.” Enjoy a final picnic lunch before departing for Arusha town/Kilimanjaro Airport or Moshi town depending on your travel plans.
