Day 1: Arusha City

You will be picked from Kilimanjaro International Airport and driven to your accommodation in Arusha for your overnight stay. Depending on your arrival, after freshening up you can opt to tour and enjoy the city and later prepare yourself for the adventure on the following days. 

Day 2: Arusha to Ngorongoro Crater 

Your driver will pick you up from your Hotel in Arusha, with a picnic lunch en route to a full- day Ngorongoro Crater tour. You will be taken 2000ft down the crater by a 4-wheel drive vehicle, explore the crater before ascending and driving to your Lodge set on a crater rim. The Ngorongoro Crater is often called ‘Africa’s Eden’ and the ‘8th Natural Wonder of the World,’ a visit to the crater is a main drawcard for tourists coming to Tanzania and a definite world- class attraction. 

The Ngorongoro Conservation Area is home to Ngorongoro Crater. The crater has evolved into a unique and integral part of Tanzania’s ecosystem. The crater is actually a caldera, measures 22.5 km across and the rim walls stand 600m high. Views from within and from the rim are breathtaking. The crater houses 30,000 animals and a large variety of birds, which rarely move from the area due to the availability of water through wet and dry seasons. In the evening, back to the lodge for dinner and an overnight stay. 

Day 3: Ngorongoro to Serengeti National Park

Awesome sunrise views from the crater rim. After breakfast you will leave Ngorongoro and proceed to the Olduvai Gorge. Here, you visit various sites of the gorge to see where the remains of pre-historic man were discovered. Later proceed to the vast Serengeti plains with afternoon game viewing. Its large stone kopjes are home to rich ecosystems and the sheer magnitude and scale of life that the plains support is staggering. 

Day 4: Explore Serengeti National Park

These full-day safaris are the best way to see the full range of what this magnificent park has to offer. Each excursion departs at around 6.30 am, with your 4×4 fully equipped to cross the Serengeti in search of a game. The early mornings are relatively cool, but by midday, it can become very hot indeed and sun-block lotion and hats are advised. Lunch is served under the shade of an Acacia tree as you take a break from scanning the horizons 

One of nature’s great occasions is the annual crossing of the Mara river by migrating wildebeest. You can be sure of witnessing this stupendous natural event. Yet it is often in the lesser-known corners of the bush that we spot the highlights of your visit, such as a kill, amorous liaison, or lesser-known creature. A full day on safari gives you every chance of such unforgettable encounters. 

Day 5: Explore Serengeti National Park

If you start first thing in the morning, you will find the Serengeti at its most active. This is when Africa can reveal its cool side, so you should wrap up warm, as you aim to be on the road before the sun rises at around 6.00 am. Our 4 by 4 bring you as close as possible to the wildlife, just when the action is likely to be most exciting. Few predators hunt during the heat of the day, so the early morning is the best time to observe the thrill of the chase. It is also a magical time, with the subtle light dappling the landscape. 

Heading into the bush for an evening game drive has a level of excitement and character all its own, as predators begin their nightly search for prey. As the day cools and the sky is streaked by red, gold, and orange hues, you may be surprised by the roar of a lion, a galloping giraffe, or the high-pitched giggling of hyenas fighting over a kill. At a suitable vantage point, your guide will pause, allowing you to enjoy a sundowner in blissful comfort. 

Day 6: Serengeti to Arusha Airport 

You will wake up and take off on an early morning game drive in the Serengeti National Park, followed by breakfast at the lodge. After breakfast, you will check out and travel back to Arusha for your flight, marking the end of our services.
