Day 1

Day 1 Arusha

This is the moment you've been waiting for: your Tanzanian safari starts here. You have so much to look forward to and we'll get your trip underway as soon as we give you an introduction to our team and explain what lies ahead.

Busy Arusha is an essential part of safari life here in northern Tanzania and most travelers pass through at some stage. Whether you’re on your way out on safari or here for a little longer, you’ll catch a glimpse of streets filled with energy and color.

Arusha arrival, transfer and safari briefing

Accommodation – Day 1

Day 2

Day 2 Tarangire National Park

Many travelers rate Tarangire among their favorite national parks anywhere in Tanzania. Here in Tarangire, you can look for lions, leopards, and cheetahs. But you won’t have to look hard to see baboons, vervet monkeys, wildebeest, giraffes, hippos, buffaloes and zebras. And you’ll come across elephants and baobabs everywhere, two giants of the African bush. Also an enjoyable part of your Tarangire experience will be the rolling savannah scenery, which includes rivers and low hills. And while it can get busy, crowds of cars will not be a problem here.

Activity Day 2

Wildlife game drive in Tarangire National Park

Accommodation – Day 2

Mid-Range Heart & Soul Lodge Manyara

Sleep in warmly decorated rooms and enjoy the hospitality of Joseph and Birgit at Heart & Soul Lodge Manyara. You're well positioned here, just a short drive from Lake Manyara National Park and the towns of Mto Wa Mbu and Karatu. There's also a swimming pool on the expansive grounds with lots of appealing spaces in which to relax, including the dining area with its fine views.

Day 3

Day 3 Lake Manyara National Park

Strung out in the shadow of the Rift Valley escarpment, that great fracture in the earth’s surface that divides Africa in two, Lake Manyara is one of Tanzania’s more unusual parks. Here you’ll certainly see the elephants for which the park is famous, and, if you’re really lucky, one of the park’s equally well-known tree-climbing lions. There’s also a lake filled with wading birds, plenty of olive baboons, and dense forests that make you feel that exciting animals could emerge from the trees at any moment. It’s a wonderful chance to mark the transition between the lower plains and the Crater Highlands (with Ngorongoro Crater) away to the west.

Activity Day 3

Lake Manyara wildlife game drive and scenic exploration

Accommodation – Day 3

Mid-Range Bougainvillea Safari Lodge

Something of an oasis in the busy town of Karatu, Bougainvillea Safari Lodge has big stone bungalows spread around a green garden with plenty of palm trees and a pool at its center. The rooms are spacious and come with mosquito nets, fireplaces and small outdoor sitting areas, and there's a gift shop, massage room and restaurant.

Meal Plan Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner Drinking water Non-alcoholic drinks Beer and wine

Day 4 & 5

Day 4 & 5 Serengeti National Park

Visiting the Unesco World Heritage–listed Serengeti is one of the best things you can do on safari. This is a park filled with some of the biggest populations of wildlife in Africa. Here in the Serengeti, there is a very good chance that you will see lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, spotted hyenas, buffaloes, zebras, giraffes, wildebeest and so many other species. The endless horizons of the savannah grasslands are the perfect backdrop for seeing so many animals. And there's no better safari image than the sun setting deep red behind a silhouetted acacia tree deep in the Serengeti.

It's impossible to be more central than you are when you stay at Osinon Camp. It's in the wildlife-filled area of Seronera and has safari tents with sitting areas. Animals often pass through the camp. There's a dining tent, and highlights include listening to lions roar in the night and marveling at the endless stars in the night sky.

Mid-Range Ngorongoro Wild Camp

At Ngorongoro Wild Camp you're a short drive from Ngorongoro Crater but nicely removed from the busy crater rim area. Accommodation is in elevated safari tents or cottages, and the camp has a swimming pool, a bar and a restaurant. Animals, including giraffes, often wander through camp, and the service here is friendly.

Meal Plan Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner Drinking water Non-alcoholic drinks Beer and wine

Day 7

Day 7 Ngorongoro Crater

You’ll learn why magical Ngorongoro is unlike anywhere else in Africa. Cloud forests encircle the crater rim, and the view out across the caldera of this former volcano – quite apart from the altitude – will leave you gasping for air. Your drive down a steep trail carries you onto the crater floor where a unique wildlife offering is added to the sheer beauty of the experience. You’ll share the sunken ecosystem of the crater floor with hyenas, lions, elephants, black rhinos and hippos. An ecosystem that has formed in the crater in the millennia since the volcano wrought its terrible fury upon the land. It could just be one of your best safari days ever.

Activity Day 7

Ngorongoro Crater game drive and wildlife viewing

Accommodation – Day 7

Mid-Range The Charity Hotel

Close to the center of the busy city of Arusha but on a reasonably quiet street, the Charity Hotel has well-sized rooms with tiled floors and large beds. The hotel is popular with both local and international guests, and it has a restaurant. The manicured lawns are a good place to enjoy a meal or a drink.

Day 8

Day 8 Zanzibar Island

When you arrive on Zanzibar Island, you'll know immediately that it is a place like no other. Tourists from all over the world come here to chill out on some of Africa's most beautiful beaches and explore the surrounding coral reefs and islets. Another facet of the island is its characterful old Stone Town, whose handsome architecture recalls a time when Zanzibar was a wealthy center of Indian Ocean trade and a major producer of cloves and other fine spices.
