Start your journey from Arusha at 07:00 and drive to Tarangire National Park. Enjoy a game drive with a picnic lunch in this 2,600 square kilometre park, known for its open plains with thousands of baobabs. Located about 120 km south of Arusha, Tarangire is famous for its lions and large herds of buffalo. It’s a hidden gem that should be on every wilderness lover’s itinerary. Spot animals like zebras, wildebeests, elephants, Maasai giraffes, and fringe-eared oryx. Bird enthusiasts can look out for the endemic ashy starling, rufous-tailed weaver, and black-collared lovebird. In the afternoon, drive to Ngorongoro Highland.

After breakfast, descend 2,000 feet into the Ngorongoro Crater for a morning tour with a picnic lunch. This 304 square kilometer caldera offers some of the best game viewing opportunities in Tanzania. Explore forest areas inhabited by monkeys and elephants, the lake area with flamingos, and the open savannah where lions hunt. With around 25,000 large mammals in the caldera, you can see the Big Five and other animals like wildebeests, gazelles, and over 500 bird species. After lunch, drive to Serengeti National Park.

After breakfast, embark on a full-day game drive in Serengeti National Park with a picnic lunch. Witness the great herds of wildebeests, zebras, and gazelles, or spot a pride of lions lounging in the shade. The Serengeti, covering 15,000 square kilometers, is home to about three million large mammals. Its diverse landscapes include lush grassy plains in the south, attracting millions of animals during the autumn rains.

Continue your adventure with morning and afternoon game drives in search of the Great Migration. This event is the largest single movement of wildlife on Earth, with animals seeking water, pasture, and breeding grounds. Besides the migrating herds, you might see cheetahs, lions, leopards, buffalos, elephants, and various gazelles. The park is also an ornithological paradise, with over 500 bird species like ostriches, secretary birds, and the kori bustard. As the day ends, return to camp to relax, dine, and unwind by the fire under the East African sky.

After breakfast, drive back to Arusha. You will be dropped off at your hotel or the airport for your onward flight.
