Your itinerary
- Day 1: Kilimanjaro International Airport Arrival transfer.
- On arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport, our driver will meet you and transfer you to Arusha, a drive of about 45 to 60 minutes. As you settle in, you’ll begin to get a feel for the surroundings, with views of the landscape and glimpses of local life along the way. On arrival at your lodge, there’s time to relax after your journey before dinner and overnight.
- Day 2: Arusha Tarangire.
- After breakfast and a short briefing, we set off from Arusha and reach Tarangire in about two hours. As we enter the park, the baobabs and open landscape immediately stand out. We stop for a packed lunch inside, often with elephants not too far away. The afternoon is spent exploring, with good chances of spotting buffalo, giraffe, and more before we head to camp for dinner and overnight.
- Day 3: Tarangire - Central Serengeti.
- After breakfast in Tarangire, we set off towards the Serengeti, a drive of about six hours that always feels longer in a good way as the landscape keeps changing. As the plains begin to open up, you know you’re getting close. There’s a real sense of arrival as we enter the Serengeti. We stop for a packed lunch, then head out on our first game drive, with good chances of seeing hyenas, lions, elephants, and herds moving across the plains before continuing to camp for dinner and overnight.
- Day 4: Central Serengeti.
- Today is spent exploring the Serengeti. We head out after breakfast, with the whole day to move through the plains and see what unfolds. No two drives are the same, one moment it’s quiet, the next you’re watching lions, cheetahs, or herds on the move. We stop for a packed lunch in the bush before continuing into the afternoon. As the sun begins to set, the light turns golden across the plains, one of those simple moments that stays with you. From there, we make our way back to camp for dinner and overnight.
- Day 5: Central Serengeti - Ngorongoro.
- After breakfast in the Serengeti, we set out on a final morning game drive across the endless plains, a last chance to take in the wildlife before leaving. As we head towards Ngorongoro, we enjoy a packed lunch along the way. The drive takes about 3.5 hours, and as we reach the crater rim, the vast Ngorongoro Crater suddenly opens up below a moment where you truly realise how big it is. By late afternoon, we arrive at the lodge for dinner and overnight.
- Day 6: Ngorongoro crater - Kilimanjaro International Airport.
- Today is a highlight of your safari as we set off after an early breakfast and head down into the Ngorongoro Crater. The drive itself is part of the experience, winding through forest before opening onto the crater floor below. Once inside, it’s full of life lions, elephants, and if we’re lucky, even rhino. We spend the morning exploring and enjoy a packed lunch in this incredible setting. Later, we begin the five-hour drive to Kilimanjaro International Airport, with plenty of memories to take home.
