The route of your Adventure

Day by day Itinerary

Day 1 > Arusha

This is where all of your planning becomes a reality: your safari starts now. Tanzania is such a wonderful country when it comes to wildlife and beautiful landscapes. After we greet you and answer any questions you might have, we'll take great pleasure in taking you out and showing you what we mean. Spend some time in Arusha, both the gateway city for most safaris in northern Tanzania and a fascinating place to explore. Enjoy good restaurants, streets filled with energy and so many snapshots of vibrant Tanzanian city life. It’s everything you look for in an urban pit stop.

Day 3 > Tarangire National Park

Explore one of Tanzania’s most rewarding national parks, a land of big baobab trees, big elephants and big cats. No wonder this ends up being the favorite park in Tanzania for many visitors. Sightings of wildebeest, giraffes, hippos, buffaloes, baboons, vervet monkeys and zebras are also almost guaranteed. Lions are plentiful here – Tarangire is home to one of Tanzania’s healthiest lion populations. While you’ll have to work a little harder to see a cheetah or leopard, it will only enhance your excitement when you do. You can also look forward to classic safari scenery – savannah plains, river woodlands and rocky hills.
Morning Activity Day 3
We'll take you on a guided game drive through Tarangire National Park this morning to look for the park's amazing wildlife. Your guide will help you find the animals and explain to you what you're seeing.
Accommodation | Day 3
Tented camp Lake Burunge Tented Camp

Day 4 > Karatu

Enjoy quiet, little Karatu. Its busy main street is a window on urban life in a small provincial town, but it’s much quieter just a few blocks away from the main road. Shop, go to the bank or simply walk the streets – all are possible here.
Lake Manyara National Park
Your time in Lake Manyara will include elephants in the forest, lions up in the trees and first-rate scenery of the Rift Valley escarpment. There’s excellent birdwatching, too.
Morning Activity Day 4
This morning you'll go on a guided game drive to look for elephants, tree-climbing lions and other wildlife in the forests and along the lakeshore of Lake Manyara National Park.
Accommodation | Day 4
Lodge The Plantation Lodge

Day 5 > Karatu

Reacquaint yourself with Karatu with more time along its busy main street or tranquil back streets.
Ngorongoro Crater
Whether admiring the view from the crater rim or viewing wildlife down upon the crater floor, you’ll have a safari experience to remember in and around Ngorongoro Crater.
Early Morning Activity Day 5
Exploring Ngorongoro Crater in the company of an expert guide could make your guided game drive here one of the highlights of your whole safari. Look for lions, black rhinos and spotted hyenas as you drive around the crater floor early this morning.
Accommodation | Day 5
Lodge The Plantation Lodge

Day 6 > Central Serengeti National Park

When you explore the Central Serengeti, you're enjoying one of the best wildlife destinations in northern Tanzania. Here you'll find the big populations of wildlife for which the Serengeti is famous. You'll also have a good chance of seeing big cats. This area has plenty of northern Tanzania's iconic acacia trees, as well as seemingly endless Serengeti horizons.
Morning Activity Day 6
We'll take you on a guided game drive through the Central Serengeti this morning. If you're lucky, your expert guide will show you big cats, elephants and lots of other animals.
Accommodation | Day 6
Tented camp | Inside Central Serengeti National Park Anantya Serengeti

Day 7 > Northern Serengeti National Park

Explore the Northern Serengeti and get to know one of the park's most beautiful corners. Wildlife viewing is excellent all through the year, but that is especially the case whenever the migration passes through. This is also the area of the park that sees the fewest visitors, which means you can enjoy the river, grasslands, rocky scenery and the animals without interruption.
Morning Activity Day 7
This morning you'll get to explore the Northern Serengeti on a guided game drive. It's the perfect opportunity to learn about this special place and see some of its wildlife.
Accommodation | Day 7

Day 8 > Northern Serengeti National Park

Return to the Northern Serengeti to enjoy further this area of the park.
Early Morning Activity Day 8
It's time for you to go on a guided game drive in Northern Serengeti National Park early this morning. No matter how many times you go, you'll never grow tired of the experience.
