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, we set off toward the fertile highlands, where the Iraqw people cultivate wheat, coffee, and corn. As we pass through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, you’ll be treated to a stunning view of the Ngorongoro Crater—one of Africa’s most iconic natural wonders. By midday, we arrive at Serengeti National Park, Tanzania’s largest national park, spanning an impressive 15,000 square kilometers.

The Serengeti boasts a rich variety of landscapes, including vast grassy plains, swamps, lakes, savannahs, and rugged mountains. It is also home to the world-renowned Great Migration, where thousands of wildebeest, zebras, and antelope journey in search of fresh grazing and water. Depending on the season, you may witness this awe-inspiring natural spectacle.

After an exciting afternoon game drive, we continue to the Seronera Valley, where you’ll enjoy dinner and an overnight stay at your lodge or camp.

After breakfast, you’ll set off toward the Serengeti’s Western Corridor, a drive of approximately 1.5 hours. Between late April and June, this region comes alive with the Great Migration as vast herds of wildebeest, accompanied by zebras, elands, and gazelles, gather south of the Grumeti River. This is also prime territory for spotting predators like leopards and hyenas.
At the river, danger looms—massive Nile crocodiles lie in wait as the herds face the perilous crossing. Some brave the waters, while others take the long way around. The sheer scale and raw beauty of the landscape, stretching endlessly under an open sky, leaves a lasting impression—reminding us of our place in nature’s great drama.
After an awe-inspiring day, you’ll continue to your accommodation for dinner and an overnight stay.

Today is dedicated entirely to game drives through the Western Serengeti. In the late afternoon, you’ll journey onward to the Central Serengeti. This iconic region is teeming with wildlife—from impalas, buffalo, crocodiles, and hippos to the legendary migrating herds of zebra, antelope, and wildebeest. Their movement follows the rhythm of the rains, varying year by year.
From November to December, the herds travel south from the wooded, hilly northern areas to the expansive grasslands of the south. Then, during the long rains from April to June, they gradually make their way back north. Alongside the migrating herds, you may also encounter resident predators such as leopards, cheetahs, and lions—each playing their role in nature’s timeless cycle.
After an exhilarating day on the plains, you’ll arrive at your accommodation for a hearty dinner and a peaceful evening. Gather around the fire under the vast, starlit sky and reflect on the wonders of the Serengeti—the famed “Endless Plain.”

After breakfast, you’ll depart from Serengeti National Park and journey toward the remarkable Ngorongoro Crater. As you approach, the Crater reveals itself like a hidden world—its steep volcanic walls enclosing a pristine wilderness of sweeping savannah, acacia woodlands, shimmering lakes, and lush swamps.
Formed two to three million years ago when a massive volcano collapsed in on itself, the Ngorongoro Crater is now one of Africa’s most unique and biodiverse ecosystems. Descending into the Crater is an adventure of its own, and once on the Crater floor, you’ll find yourself surrounded by abundant wildlife—wildebeest, zebras, gazelles, and over 500 bird species.
This is also one of the best places to spot the endangered black rhino, often seen grazing in the open grasslands. After a full afternoon of exploration and game viewing, you’ll head to Karatu for dinner and an overnight stay at your accommodation.

After breakfast, we set out for the final destination of our epic safari—Lake Manyara National Park. Located about 120 km west of Arusha, this compact yet diverse park is named after the shallow alkaline lake that covers nearly 70% of its surface. Seasonally fluctuating in size, the lake is a haven for thousands of flamingos and hosts over 500 species of birds.
As we explore the park, we’ll encounter a variety of wildlife including monkeys, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, buffalo, elephants, and—if we’re lucky—tree-climbing lions. Lake Manyara is celebrated not just for its wildlife but also for its stunning landscapes, ranging from open grassy plains to dense woodlands and dramatic baobab-studded cliffs.
Following a final, memorable game drive, we begin our journey back to Arusha in the late afternoon—hearts full and cameras packed with unforgettable memories of the African wilderness.
