Day by Day

Day 1: Into the Wild – Tarangire National Park

Your adventure begins with an early departure from Arusha as you journey to Tarangire National Park, known for its striking baobab trees, ancient elephant migration paths, and predator-rich grasslands. After entering the park, you’ll enjoy a full-day game drive, with a picnic lunch near the Tarangire River where animals gather in large numbers, especially during the dry season.

As the sun sets, you’ll continue to the peaceful town of Karatu, located just outside the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Dinner and overnight will be at the cozy Heart & Soul Lodge, offering beautiful views and a relaxing atmosphere.

Accommodation

After breakfast, head northward through the lush highlands of Ngorongoro before descending into the legendary Serengeti National Park. En route, your guide will help spot wildlife such as giraffes, elephants, and possibly even leopards lounging in acacia trees. The Serengeti’s vast golden plains stretch endlessly, and as you arrive, you’ll begin an afternoon game drive.

By sunset, check into your camp in the heart of the wild—Moyo Tented Camp, a comfortable safari retreat surrounded by nature. Settle in for dinner and fall asleep to the distant sounds of hyenas and lions under a canopy of stars.

Accommodation

Rise early for a dawn game drive, when the Serengeti comes alive with the activity of predators on the hunt and herds on the move. This golden hour is ideal for photography and unforgettable encounters. After breakfast, begin your journey back toward Karatu, with wildlife viewing en route.

Arrive by late afternoon and unwind at Pamoja Farm Lodge, a charming countryside retreat surrounded by rolling hills and coffee farms. Enjoy a freshly prepared dinner and rest ahead of your final day.

Accommodation

After an early breakfast, descend into the Ngorongoro Crater, one of the world’s most spectacular natural wildlife habitats. This 600-meter-deep caldera is home to nearly every species found in East Africa, including lions, elephants, buffaloes, and rare black rhinos. Enjoy a half-day game drive along the crater floor, followed by a scenic picnic lunch near the hippo pool.

After lunch, ascend the crater wall and make your way back to Arusha or Kilimanjaro Airport, arriving in the early evening—your heart full of stories and your camera full of memories.
