You’ll need to arrange your flights to Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) or Arusha Airport (ARK) for domestic travel. Upon arrival, a WeGuide Africa Safaris representative will meet you and transfer you to your hotel in Arusha. That evening or the following morning, you’ll meet your local guide for a detailed safari briefing. You’ll spend your first night at a peaceful accommodation, which is the perfect place to relax before your African adventure begins. This marks the start of your unforgettable Tanzania safari experience.

Early in the morning, after breakfast, we set off for Tarangire National Park. The park is named after the Tarangire River, which flows through it. This “river of warthogs” serves as the only water source for wildlife in the region during the dry season.

In some areas, the vegetation is quite dense, featuring elephant grass and acacia woodlands. The park is renowned for its elephant families, which can often be seen gathering by the river. You may also spot giraffes, bushbucks, and hartebeests. These animals are closely followed by various predators, including lions and leopards.

Tarangire National Park is home to the largest population of elephants in Tanzania and boasts more breeding species of birds than any other place on Earth. It is the best location to observe these gentle giants in their natural habitat, from the adorable calves to the impressive bulls.

After enjoying a packed lunch, we will head to our accommodation for dinner and an overnight stay at Marera Valley Lodge or a similar location.

After breakfast, you will head out to Lake Manyara National Park, a diverse and relatively compact reserve. The park features its namesake shallow salt lake, which changes size with the seasons and provides a habitat for over 500 species of birds. While exploring, you can expect to see a variety of wildlife, including monkeys, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, buffalo, elephants, and, if you’re lucky, lions lounging in the trees. Lake Manyara is famous for its diverse landscapes, which include open grassy plains, woodlands filled with primates, and cliffs decorated with baobab trees. After a full day of game drives, you will return to your accommodation for dinner and an overnight stay.

After breakfast, your journey to Serengeti will begin. Although the route ahead may be long and occasionally bumpy, it offers approximately 4 to 5 hours of captivating wildlife viewing as you ascend the crater highlands towards the expansive plains of Serengeti. Weather permitting, a 10-minute stop will be made at the Ngorongoro Viewpoint to take in the breathtaking view of the caldera before continuing to Serengeti.

Along the way, you will enjoy a delightful picnic lunch, providing a chance to refuel and take in the beautiful scenery. Upon arrival at the park, an afternoon game drive will be arranged so that you can fully immerse yourself in the abundant wildlife. As the sun sets, you will head to your accommodation, where a delicious dinner awaits, followed by a restful overnight stay in the tranquil Serengeti.

You will experience a full day of adventure in Serengeti National Park. From sunrise to sunset, you will embark on an exhilarating game drive, seeking out the magnificent Big Five and discovering a diverse array of over 500 bird species. As the day draws to a close, you’ll return to your accommodation at sunset for a delicious dinner and a restful overnight stay.

For an added cost, you have the option to elevate your experience with a hot air balloon safari or a walking safari.

After breakfast, you’ll begin a scenic drive to Ngorongoro Crater, enjoying approximately three hours of wildlife viewing along the way. This remarkable location is home to a diverse range of wildlife native to East Africa, including the elusive black rhino, which you may be lucky enough to see. The crater covers an expansive area of 260 square kilometers and has a diameter of about 20 kilometers, so you should plan to spend around five to six hours exploring its wonders. After your exploration, you will head to your accommodation for dinner and an overnight stay.

You will enjoy a delightful breakfast while reflecting on your adventures from the past few days. Check-out from your lodge is at 11:00 AM. You can choose to be dropped off at a hotel in Arusha or Kilimanjaro, or directly at either Arusha or Kilimanjaro Airport.
