Day 1. Tarangire
Departing from Arusha in the morning, drive to Tarangire National Park with lunch boxes. Proceed on a game drive on arrival. Dinner and overnight at camp - either Mto wa Mbu or Tarangire.

Tarangire National Park, gazetted in 1970, is 118km away from Arusha town, which covers an area off 2600sq km that's about 1600 miles and derivers its name from the Tarangire River that flows through the center of the park. The river flows from south to north/northwest and empties its water in Lake Burungi. An exceptional collection of "Acacia tortilis" and baobab trees ahs become synonymous with the name Tarangire National Park. The best time to visit Tarangire National Park to view the wildlife is in dry season, from June-October.

Day 2. Serengeti
After breakfast depart from your campsite and proceed to Serengeti Nat. Park with a game drive en route. Dinner and overnight will be at Seronera campsite.

Day 3. Serengeti
Full day of game viewing in Serengeti with picnic lunch in the park. Dinner and overnight at camp.

You can visit the park all year round but there is less game in the park during the dry season – July /October, where they migrate to the Masai Mara in Kenya. During March to May the herds move in search of grazing to the southern section and in May to June, they move towards the western corridor of the park. Serengeti in the low season will still offer game viewing to match that of any park in Africa, and for some, the fact that there will be fewer tourists may be an added bonus.

Day 4. Ngorongoro
After breakfast, leave for a morning game drive with your picnic boxes, departing Serengeti for Ngorongoro Crater with an optional visit of Olduvai Gorge en route. You will have dinner and overnight at Simba Campsite Ngorongoro.

The Ngorongoro crater is the world’s biggest whole volcanic caldera at 8300 sq km and is arguably the most stunning arena. It is frequently described as one of the wonders of the world, not only because of its geological magnificence, but also because it serves as an extraordinary natural sanctuary for some of Africa’s largest populations of large mammals. Ngorongoro and other freestanding mountains are volcanic in origin, formed during the fracturing process that created the Rift valley 15 to 20 million years ago. When it peaked in size 3 million years ago it was a similar height to Mt. Kilimanjaro today.


Day 5. Ngorongoro
After an early breakfast descend into the crater floor for a full day crater tour - departing mid afternoon for Arusha to arrive early evening.
