On this 6-day safari, you will experience the best Tanzania has to offer. The accommodation is between mid-range and luxury. You will experience breathtaking wildlife including monkeys in the forest, lions in trees, elephants traveling through the bush, and a huge variety of animals inside a collapsed volcano. You will visit the iconic Serengeti National Park which is home to 3 million animals. You will have countless awe and with a bit of luck, you will see the Big Five.
On this day, you will be picked up from the airport by a Serengeti African Tours representative and driven to your accommodation in Arusha. Depending on your arrival time, you will hopefully have time to relax and prepare for the adventure of a lifetime!
Busy Arusha is an essential part of safari life here in northern Tanzania and most travellers pass through at some stage.
Your Serengeti African Tours guide will collect you from your accommodation after breakfast. You will then drive to Tarangire National Park. This transit drive is approximately two and a half hours on good tarmac roads. The park is named after the Tarangire River which runs through it. This ‘river of warthogs’ is the only source of water for wildlife in the region during the dry season. The park is well known for its elephant families, which can often be seen congregating by the river. You may also see giraffes, bushbucks, and hartebeests. There are more breeding species of birds found in Tarangire than anywhere else on the planet! The huge and ancient baobab trees can be seen here. Some of them are said to have lived for more than a thousand years.
Lunch will be at a picnic site inside the park. After your game drive, you will transit to your accommodation in Mto wa Mbu.
After breakfast, you will drive up to Serengeti a place where you can see a variety of wildlife, including predators such as leopards, cheetahs, and lions, as well as herbivores like wildebeests. It is one of Africa’s principal attractions and offers the chance to see the “Big Five:” lions, buffaloes, rhinos, leopards, and elephants. The park is globally famous and draws many visitors, particularly for witnessing the Great Wildebeest Migration in the Northern part but on this day you will be based in Central Serengeti.
Activities for the day include a wildlife game drive. You will stay in a Lodge overnight.
After breakfast, we will depart early in the morning and transfer to the northern part of the Serengeti, specifically the Kogatende-Masai Mara region. You will enjoy an overnight stay here and packed lunch boxes provided for the journey. We will spend one day in this area to enhance your experience and enjoyment.
From Late June to early October, this region is a prime location for observing wildlife such as wildebeests, zebras, and antelopes as they migrate from Kogatende to the Masai Mara, crossing the Mara River. This spectacle is particularly fascinating as large numbers of wildebeests move together, often encountering predators like crocodiles, which lie in wait trying to capture them for food.
Activities for the day include a wildlife game drive. You will stay overnight in Northern Serengeti.
After breakfast, we continue with the game drive in the Northern Serengeti and proceed to Central Serengeti with a game drive en route.

After the game drive, we will attend the Lodge for dinner and your overnight stay.
After breakfast, you will head to Ngorongoro Conservation Area for a game drive inside Ngorongoro Crater, bringing along lunch boxes. Once the drive is done, we’ll take you back to your lodge to unwind, have dinner, and spend the night.
