Tanzania Big five Safaris

Upon arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport or from your hotel, you’ll be met by your professional safari guide and transferred to your lodge in Arusha. Take the day to relax, recover from your journey, and get briefed on the exciting days ahead. You may opt for a short walk around the lodge or a visit to the local markets depending on your arrival time.

After breakfast, you’ll head to Tarangire National Park, known for its high concentration of elephants and iconic baobab trees. The park offers a stunning, less-crowded safari experience. Enjoy a game drive along the Tarangire River, a favorite wildlife gathering spot, especially in the dry season. Expect to see elephants, lions, buffaloes, giraffes, and plenty of birdlife

Today, after an early breakfast, depart for the world-renowned Serengeti National Park, driving through the Great Rift Valley and the Ngorongoro highlands. Enjoy an en-route game drive as you enter the endless plains of the Serengeti. After lunch, continue with a game drive in the central Serengeti, a prime area for lion and leopard sightings.

Wake up to the calls of the wild and enjoy a morning game drive in Serengeti to spot more wildlife at its most active time. After brunch, begin your journey to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, with optional stops at a Maasai village or Olduvai Gorge museum. Arrive at your lodge on the crater rim or nearby in Karatu in time for dinner.

This is the grand finale of your safari. After breakfast, descend 600 meters into the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the best place in Tanzania to see the endangered black rhino. The crater hosts an incredible diversity of wildlife including lions, elephants, buffalo, hippos, and flamingos. After a picnic lunch at the hippo pool, begin your journey back to Arusha, where your guide will drop you at the airport or your preferred location.
