FULL ITINERARY
A warm welcome awaits your arrival in Kilimanjaro International Airport
Then transfer to Arusha where you can relax after your long flight
Dinner and overnight at Arusha Serena Hotel
Nestled at the foot of the wooded slopes of Mount Meru, this hotel is set amid coffee plantations on the shores of tranquil Lake Duluti. The lodge offers a range of tastefully presented cottage-styled rooms set amid extensive landscaped grounds.
Breakfast at the hotel followed by briefing
After early lunch drive to Arusha National Park for afternoon game drive to savor our first taste of the safari experience. In the park we may spot waterbuck, zebra, giraffe - and in the distance, possibly, snow-capped Mt. Kilimanjaro. This legendary colossus, Africa’s tallest peak, boasts a greater elevation (19,341 feet) than any other freestanding mountain in the world. Much closer to us we see Mount Meru, which stands inside Arusha as Africa’s fifth highest peak (14,968 feet). Though relatively at 53 square miles, topographically varied Arusha National Park hosts a diverse profusion of wildlife. We’re on the lookout for the nearly 400 bird species that call the park home, among them the flamingos and other waterfowl that wade in its alkaline lakes, as well as land dwellers including antelope, monkey, buffalo, warthog, and more.
Dinner and overnight at Arusha Serena Hotel
Early breakfast at the lodge
Morning drive to Tarangire National Park, game viewing on arrival, lunch at Tarangire Safari Lodge. Afternoon game viewing in Tarangire National Park - with its unusual and compelling landscape; Grassy Savannah and woodlands, liberally dotted with ancient and massive Baobab trees give the park a slightly surreal or primeval aspect, especially when they have no leaves. Dinner and overnight at Maramboi Tented Camp
With picnic lunch after breakfast at the Lodge
Drive to Tarangire National Park, enjoy full day game drive in Tarangire National Park. Tarangire was named after the river that flows the length of the park and provides a constant water source for the animals. It is also noted for its signature baobab trees and beautiful stands of acacia tortillis trees.
Dinner and overnight at Maramboi Tented Camp
Breakfast
Meet clients at Maramboi Tented Camp - Reception area;

You’ll hopefully start spotting game well before you get into the park. Afternoon game drives in Serengeti National Park. The Serengeti offers arguably the most scintillating game-viewing in Africa: great herds of buffalo, smaller groups of elephant and giraffe, and thousands upon thousands of eland, topi, impala and Grant’s gazelle. Lion prides feast on the abundance of plain grazers solitary leopards haunt the acacia trees lining the Seronera River, while a high density of cheetahs prowls the south eastern plains
Dinner and overnight at Kubu Kubu Tented Lodge
Breakfast
Morning and afternoon game drives in Serengeti National Park (central Serengeti - Seronera Area). This enormous park supports every variety of animals imaginable - from large predators such as lion, leopard and cheetah to the smaller herbivores they prey on.

Dinner and overnight at Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge
After breakfast, collect picnic lunch boxes and drive to Ngorongoro
This morning we set out on an unforgettable game drive as we descend to the floor of magnificent Ngorongoro Crater, a World Heritage Site and, at 100 square miles, the world’s largest intact and perfectly formed volcanic caldera. The unique biosphere here has remained unchanged for eons; towering walls encircle the crater’s floor which represents Africa in microcosm; grassland, swamps, lakes, forests, and some 25,000 large mammals, including elephant, black rhinoceros, lion, hippo, and zebra. Because Ngorongoro has abundant food and water year-round, the animals here do not migrate as they do between Masai Mara and the Serengeti. And because they live within the confines of the steep-walled caldera, Ngorongoro’s animals are less shy and more approachable than those at other reserves. Throughout our explorations we also may see semi-nomadic Maasai tribesmen as they engage in their age-old practice of grazing their cattle alongside the wild animals.
