Tour Itinerary

Day 1  Tarangire National Park

We will pick you up from your accommodation in Arusha and drive to Tarangire National Park with your picnic lunch boxes. One of the largest national parks in Tanzania located in the Manyara region, this park is known for the Tarangire River which flows all year round and is the only source of water for wild animals during dry seasons.

Meals: Half Board


 

Day 2-3 Central Serengeti National Park

After breakfast, we will drive to Serengeti National Park in Central Seronera. This park is well-known for its healthy stock of resident wildlife, particularly the “Big Five”: Lion, Leopard, Elephant, Rhino, and Buffalo.

Serengeti, a UNESCO world heritage site, is home to around 200,000 zebras, and 300,000 Thomson’s gazelles that join the wildebeests’ trek for fresh grazing. Listen to the exotic sounds of over 6 million hooves pounding the open plains of Serengeti just like how you imagined African wildlife to be.

Meals: Full Board


 

Day 4 Ngorongoro Crater

After breakfast, we will leave for an early morning drive to Ngorongoro Conservation Area for a game drive. This is another UNESCO World Heritage Site located west of Arusha in the crater highlands of Tanzania. This area is named after Ngorongoro Crater, the world’s largest caldera. The stunning landscape of Ngorongoro with its vast expanses of highland plains and concentration of wildlife of some 25,000 animals makes this place one of the most exotic natural wonders on earth.

Meals: Full Board


 

DAY 5 Lake Manyara National Park (End of Tour)

After breakfast, we will drive to Lake Manyara. The Park derives its name from the Maasai word Manyara, which is the name for the plant Euphorbia Tirucalli, a plant the Maasai people use to grow livestock stockades. Manyara produces a stock-proof hedge, which is very durable among other similar kinds. A specimen of Euphorbia Tirucalli can be found at the entrance of the gate. The Great Rift Valley belongs to the faultline in the earth’s crust which stretches 8,000 kilometers (4,971 miles) from Turkey to the mouth of the Zambezi River in Mozambique. The fault is so massive that when astronauts landed on the moon the Rift Valley was clearly visible to them. In the afternoon, you will be taken to your hotel in Arusha.
