Begin your safari with a scenic journey from Arusha into Tarangire National Park. Experience the park's iconic baobab landscapes and large elephant herds, with opportunities to see giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, and abundant birdlife. Enjoy your first African sunset in the bush.

After breakfast, enjoy a morning game drive in Tarangire before departing for the Serengeti.

Drive toward Central Serengeti, passing through the Ngorongoro highlands and entering the vast Serengeti plains. Depending on your arrival time, enjoy an afternoon game drive in Central Serengeti, an excellent area for lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes, and large herds of herbivores.

After breakfast, begin your journey toward North Serengeti.

The drive itself becomes a safari, with opportunities to stop whenever wildlife is spotted. As you approach the northern Serengeti, the landscape changes and wildlife becomes increasingly concentrated around the Mara River and surrounding areas.

Arrive at your camp in the afternoon and enjoy an evening game drive.

Spend the entire day exploring North Serengeti.

This is an important day for following the Great Migration when the herds are in the northern Serengeti. You may have opportunities to see wildebeest and zebra, as well as crocodiles and hippos around the Mara River.

The area is also excellent for predators, including lions, cheetahs, and leopards.

Return to camp in the evening for dinner and overnight.

Another full day of safari in North Serengeti.

After breakfast, head out with a picnic lunch for a full-day game drive. Explore different areas from the previous day, giving you more opportunities to encounter wildlife and observe the natural behavior of the animals.

Your guide will choose the best areas based on recent wildlife sightings and seasonal conditions.

Return to camp in the evening.

After breakfast, enjoy a final morning game drive in North Serengeti before beginning your journey south toward Central Serengeti.

The route provides further opportunities for wildlife viewing. Stop for lunch along the way and continue with an afternoon game drive as you approach Central Serengeti.

Arrive at your lodge or camp in the evening.

Enjoy an early morning game drive in Central Serengeti before breakfast or depart after breakfast, depending on your preferred schedule.

Continue toward the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Along the way, you can enjoy wildlife viewing and, if included in your itinerary, visit Olduvai Gorge, one of the most important archaeological sites in East Africa.

Continue to your lodge near the crater rim for dinner and overnight.

After an early breakfast, descend into the Ngorongoro Crater for approximately 5 hours of game viewing.

The crater offers an exceptional concentration of wildlife. You may see lions, elephants, buffaloes, hippos, zebras, wildebeest, hyenas, and possibly the endangered black rhino.

After the crater tour, ascend from the crater and begin the drive back to Arusha.
