5-Day Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro & Manyara Journey

Upon arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport or Arusha Airport, you will be warmly welcomed by our safari guide and transferred to your hotel in Arusha. The remainder of the day is yours to relax and unwind at the hotel, where you will enjoy an overnight stay.

When ready, we will take you on a guided Arusha city tour, giving you the opportunity to explore and experience the charm, culture, and highlights of this beautiful city.

After breakfast, you will begin a scenic drive to Tarangire National Park, carrying packed lunch boxes for the day.

Tarangire National Park is renowned for its large herds of elephants and diverse landscapes, ranging from seasonal swamps to open savannahs, all sustained by the winding Tarangire River. During your game drive, you may be fortunate enough to witness a lion stalking its prey or spot leopards resting high in the trees as they survey their surroundings.

After completing the day’s game drives, you will proceed to your lodge for relaxation, dinner, and an overnight stay.

After breakfast, you will depart for the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and descend into the Ngorongoro Crater for an exciting game drive, with packed lunch boxes provided. Later in the day, you will continue your journey to Serengeti National Park, where you will enjoy dinner and an overnight stay.

The Ngorongoro Conservation Area is home to the world’s largest intact volcanic caldera and is considered one of Africa’s greatest natural wonders. The crater supports an estimated 30,000 large mammals year-round, including buffaloes, lions, elephants, cheetahs, and the rare black rhino, as well as a rich variety of birdlife such as flamingos, eagles, and buzzards. This unique ecosystem offers exceptional wildlife viewing, allowing you to observe a remarkable number of animals within a short period of time.

You will wake up early to enjoy a magical morning game drive in Serengeti National Park, when wildlife is most active. In the afternoon, you will depart for Karatu, where you will spend the night at a lodge conveniently located near the Ngorongoro Crater. This allows for an early descent into the crater the following morning, maximizing your chances of exceptional wildlife viewing.

Serengeti National Park is world-renowned for its great migration of wildebeests, zebras, and antelopes. In addition to the migration, you may encounter resident predators such as lions, leopards, and cheetahs, all playing their vital roles in the natural circle of life.

After breakfast, you will depart for Lake Manyara National Park for a game drive, with packed lunch boxes provided. Later in the day, you will be transferred back to Arusha, marking the end of your safari.

Lake Manyara National Park is well known for its unique tree-climbing lions, often seen resting among the branches. The park is also home to large troops of baboons, which frequently greet visitors along the forested road as you enter, adding to the park’s lively and memorable atmosphere.
