    1. Day1 TARANGIRE NATIONAL PARK

      In the morning you will be picked up from your accommodation in Arusha and hereafter we drive to Tarangire National Park. The park runs along the line of the Tarangire River and is mainly made up of low-lying hills on the Great Rift Valley floor. Its natural vegetation mainly consists of Acacia woodland and giant African Baobab trees, with huge swamp areas in the south. The Tarangire National Park is reputed to contain some of the largest elephant herds in Africa, from June-October. The fierce sun sucks the moisture from the landscape, baking the earth a dusty red, the withered grass as brittle as straw. As well as large elephant herds, you will have great possibility to spot both lions, giraffes, buffaloes and much more. After a picnic lunch we do an afternoon game drive, where after we continue to Karatu, where you will overnight and dinner at Bougainvillea Safari Lodge.

    2. Day2 LAKE MANAYARA NATIONAL PARK

      In the morning after breakfast, we will continue our safari-journey to Lake Manyara National Park. The park is perhaps best known for its flamingos and pelicans but it is also the home for a few hundred other species of birds; it is, therefore, a paradise for ornithologists. With a bit of luck you might see elephants in the wooded regions and with even more fortune the tree-climbing lions. Indeed, it was thought for a long time that the Lake Manyara is the only place where lions can be found with this atypical behavior of climbing trees. Baboons and velvet monkeys are also found amongst the forested areas and in the more open spaces, giraffes nibble at the fresh leaves while the various types of antelopes common to the region browse for tasty shoots. After a picnic lunch, there will be more time for further game and wildlife watching before it is time to head back to your accommodation, the Bougainvillea Safari Lodge, for dinner and overnight.

    3. Day3 SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK

      After breakfast we continue towards the Serengeti National Park. As the drive from Karatu is a few hours, we will eat our lunch on the way to the park or just before entering. Once we have arrived, we will continue will afternoon game-drive. The name Serengeti come from Maasai language and means “endless plains”. The Serengeti is host to one of nature’s most magnificent phenomena, The Great Migration. Over a million wildebeests make a 600 mile pilgrimage though crocodile-infested water on the annual exodus north. Returning to the South to replenish the species in a brief population explosion that produces more than 8,000 calves daily before the pilgrimage begins again. Depending on the seasons, our game-drive will take us to various parts of the Serengeti. After the game-drive and watching the beautiful sunset over the plains, we will continue to the Serengeti Osupuko Tented Camp, where you will overnight and enjoy your dinner.

    4. Day4 SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK

      Enjoy another day of wildlife viewing from a second location deep in the Serengeti. Home to literally hundreds of thousands of hoofed animals, the Serengeti is a pristine and unique sanctuary that will give you a glimpse into “the world as it was in the beginning.” Relish the vastness of the Serengeti, “the land that flows on forever,” along with some of the best animal viewing that Africa has to offer. In the afternoon, after another wonderful day will of extraordinary wildlife experiences we will continue our journey towards the Ngorongoro Crater, where we will overnight and enjoy dinner close to the crater rim at Rhino Lodge.

    5. Day5 NGORONGORO CRATER

      Today, you will visit Ngorongoro Crater, the main feature of which is a large, unbroken, unfolded volcanic caldera. The crater, which formed when a giant volcano exploded and collapsed on itself some two to three million years ago, is mostly open grassland with two small wooded areas. Game drives through the Ngorongoro Crater begin early in the morning in safari vehicles with pop-up roofs. The descent into the crater is one of scenic beauty, as you make your way through lush forests, home to numerous elephants and buffaloes. As you reach the inside of the crater, your guide will take you through the grassy crater floor, the unbelievable fever tree forest, the banks of Lake Magadi and the surrounding marshes. Lunch is served picnic style, surrounded by the natural wonders around you as well as the exceptional wildlife, roaming freely, with which you share this extraordinary paradise. After your picnic lunch, we will drive back to Arusha where you will be dropped at your accommodation.
