Itinerary information

Day 1 : Pick Up from the Airport

We will pick you up from the airport and transfer you to Tulia Spa & Boutique. A city sightseeing tour comes as part of the excursion for day 1. The city excursion will involve visiting the local markets, the Maasai market, the cultural heritage, and the Arusha City Museum.

Day 2 : Arusha to Tarangire National Park

We will pick you up from your hotel at 8:00 am and after being familiar with the guide, chef and other clients, we will drive to Tarangire National Park (2 hours drive) famous for its diverse landscape. The park is particularly known for the abundance of ancient baobab trees and having the largest concentration of elephants in the whole country. It provides unique chances to observe the interactions between elephant families. We will do a game drive through the park depending on where they are reported sightings of animals (mostly predators, lions, cheetah and leopards as they are harder to spot) as herbivores (giraffes, wildebeest, zebras, etc. are plenty to see through the park).
Later on, we will go to the Tarangire River picnic site and enjoy the beautiful view of the river and animals while having lunch. Small monkeys and baboons will try to scare you off your lunch but there is nothing to worry about. After lunch, proceed with the game drive and exit the park at around 4:30 pm.

Day 3 : Mto wa Mbu to Serengeti National Park

After breakfast at 8:30 am, you will drive from Mto wa Mbu to Serengeti, which takes 6 hours (including all stops) as it transits through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.

Visiting a Maasai village is optional to visit (not included in the price) and exploring the culture of the great Maasai tribe, known for chasing lions of their kill, hunting lions to be considered a warrior, and drinking raw animal blood. Though this, traditions are a thing of the past, with the exception of drinking blood, you can surely learn something.

Day 4 : Serengeti National Park to Ngorongoro Crater

After an early breakfast at 6:30 am, you will go on an early game drive, seeing a lot of animals till the afternoon. We will then head to camp for lunch and packing. Then we'll do a game drive while we exit the Serengeti heading to Simba Campsite (2 hours drive) near the rim of Ngorongoro Crater.
Note: Animals can be spotted on campsites.

Day 5 : Ngorongoro Crater

After an early breakfast, you will descend the crater at 6:15 am on a journey to find the black rhino. Rhinos are the hardest to spot in the beautiful crater as most animals will be easier to spot from this park due to it being a floor crater. After lunch, you will do a game drive and ascend from the crater floor at around 12:45 pm. Head to the camp and pack for the trip back to Arusha town.
