Tour Plan
Upon arrival at Kilimanjaro or Arusha Airport, our representative will meet and transfer you to your lodge in Arusha. You’ll receive a safari briefing, enjoy a welcome dinner, and have time to relax after your journey.
After breakfast, depart for Lake Manyara National Park, a lush reserve nestled at the base of the Great Rift Valley. Known for its tree-climbing lions, large troops of baboons, flamingos, and hippo pools, Manyara offers diverse habitats and birdlife. Enjoy a full-day game drive with a picnic lunch. Overnight at a wild camp near Karatu.
Today you’ll descend into the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and home to over 25,000 animals including black rhinos, lions, hyenas, elephants, and more. The crater floor offers the best opportunity to spot the Big Five in one day. Enjoy a picnic lunch by the hippo pool and continue game viewing until late afternoon. Return to camp for dinner.
After breakfast, drive to Tarangire National Park, famous for its massive elephant herds and dramatic baobab trees. Enjoy a half-day game drive before returning to Arusha in the evening. Overnight at a hotel in Arusha or direct transfer to the airport depending on your flight schedule.
Enjoy a relaxed day at your lodge or explore Arusha town (optional visits to Cultural Heritage, coffee plantations, or Maasai Market). This day can be customized based on your departure timing.
