6-Day Memorable Adventure in Tanzania with Balloon Ride

Day 1: Arusha to Tarangire National Park

After breakfast at the hotel, you will drive to Tarangire National Park for a full-day game drive in the park.

Tarangire National Park is a lovely, quiet park in northern Tanzania, located slightly off the main safari route. It is most famous for its elephant migration, birding, and authentic safari atmosphere. The majority of travellers to the region either miss out on Tarangire altogether or venture into the park for only a matter of hours, leaving parts of Tarangire virtually untouched.

Your driver will set and prepare the table for a hot meal. This will be followed by a glass of wine, tea, or coffee. After lunch, continue with the game drive until the evening, when you’ll drive to the lodge for dinner and your overnight stay.

Main Destination: Tarangire National Park

Accommodation: Suricata Boma Lodge

Meals included: Lunch & Dinner (Breakfast not included)

Day 2: Central Serengeti National Park

Serengeti National Park in Central Seronera is well known for its healthy stock of resident wildlife, particularly the “Big Five”, named for the 5 most prized trophies taken by hunters. The Serengeti is believed to have the largest population of lions in Africa, largely due to the abundance of prey species. More than 3,000 lions live in this ecosystem. The reclusive leopards are commonly seen in the Seronera area.

Enjoy the game drive until lunchtime, when your driver will set up and prepare the table for a hot meal. This will be followed by a glass of wine, tea, or coffee. After lunch, your search continues for the big cats and the “Big Five”. In the evening, you’ll drive to the lodge for dinner and your overnight stay.

Day 3: Serengeti National Park

After breakfast, go on a game drive in Serengeti National Park. In the afternoon, your driver will set and prepare the table for a hot lunch, followed by warm tea or coffee. Continue with the game drive until evening.

During the great migration, a million wildebeest, each one driven by the same ancient rhythm, fulfill their instinctive role in the inescapable cycle of life in the frenzied 3-week bout of territorial conquests and mating.

Your driver will set up a sundowner picnic table with drinks and snacks before you drive back to the lodge for dinner and your overnight stay.

Main Destination: Central Serengeti National Park

Day 4: Serengeti National Park to Ngorongoro Conservation Area

The Ngorongoro Conservation Area, together with Kenya’s Masai Mara National Reserve, protects the greatest and most diverse collection of terrestrial wildlife on Earth. It is also home to one of the last intact great migratory systems.

Your day begins with an early morning hot-air balloon ride over the Serengeti, offering breathtaking views of the landscape and wildlife from above.

Afterward, you’ll enjoy a game drive through Serengeti National Park, focusing on spotting the big cats and the legendary Big Five. Later in the afternoon, you’ll be transferred through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area to Karatu, where you’ll check into your lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.

Day 5: Ngorongoro Crater

After breakfast, you will depart from the hotel or lodge with a picnic lunch and descend into the amazing Ngorongoro Crater.

It is possible to see all of Africa’s “Big Five” within the crater, among a vast array of other wildlife, including hundreds of bird species.

Enjoy a full day in the crater on a game drive. In the evening, you’ll drive to the lodge for dinner and your overnight stay.

The Ngorongoro Crater is the largest unbroken volcanic caldera on earth and is home to Africa’s “Big Five”. Here, you can witness Maasai tribesmen living among wild animals and experience exceptional natural landscapes.

Inland of the floodplain, a narrow belt of acacia woodland is the favoured haunt of Manyara’s legendary tree-climbing lions and impressively tusked elephants. At lunchtime, your driver will set up and prepare a table using the shade of our car, for a full hot meal, followed by a glass of wine, tea, or coffee.
