Day 1

Arusha

Welcome to the start of your safari and welcome to Tanzania! You've chosen a fantastic place for your safari journey and we'll get you started with an introductory briefing before we head out to begin the trip you've been dreaming of.

Busy Arusha is an essential part of safari life here in northern Tanzania and most travelers pass through at some stage. Whether you’re on your way out on safari or here for a little longer, you’ll catch a glimpse of streets filled with energy and color.

Activity Day 1

[COUNTRY] welcomes you. Your arrival is today.

Accommodation Day 1

Arusha Planet Lodge

Lodge

Staying at Arusha Planet Lodge means sleeping well far from the noise of the downtown area. The rooms are nicely sized with work desks and vivid safari colors offset by muted wood furnishings. Most of the balconies look out on the trees of the hotel grounds. You'll also find a good restaurant and bar onsite.

Meal Plan Breakfast

Day 2

Lake Manyara National Park

Lake Manyara is one of the most underestimated national parks in Tanzania’s northern safari circuit. Everything you’ll see here is on a different scale, at once compact (this is one of the narrowest parks in Africa) and epic (the Rift Valley escarpment towers over Lake Manyara’s western boundary). You’ll see plenty of baboons and elephants in the park’s thick evergreen forest, and watch for the tree-climbing lions that have become famous throughout Africa. Thanks to the proximity of lake, forest and rock walls, the birdlife will also tease out your inner birder – don’t forget your binoculars.

Activities Day 2

Come with us on a guided game drive through Lake Manyara National Park. The park is famous for its elephants and tree-climbing lions, and we hope you'll see both.

Optional Day 2

Bridge Walk, Lake Manyara National Park

Accommodation Day 2

Eileen's Trees Inn

Lodge

You’ll want to spend as long as you can wandering the beautiful gardens at Eileen’s Trees Inn. Our lush greenery and flowers shelter all manner of birds, and provide you with shade and a sense of calm. Inside the thatched cottages, get a good night’s rest in tastefully decorated rooms with soothing colors, curved walls and plenty of space. Colonial decor dominates the dining room, where our meals are of the highest quality.

Day 3

Serengeti National Park

You won’t find many better national parks in Africa than the Serengeti, which has few rivals when it comes to both the numbers and variety of animals. Track down the annual migration of wildebeest and zebra. Enjoy the vast horizons that are perfect for spotting predators (especially lions, leopards, cheetahs and spotted hyenas) and their prey (buffaloes, impalas and kongoni), as well as elephants and giraffes. If you’re really lucky you’ll see a hunt, one of the most exhilarating sights anywhere in the wild. And at every turn, revel in its beauty, with flat-topped acacia trees silhouetted against the setting sun, and so many other classic African safari images.

Activity Day 3

You'll get to know Serengeti National Park in the best possible way on a guided game drive. Led by an expert guide, you'll drive out across the park's famous savannahs to look for the incredible wildlife (big cats, elephants and more) that calls the park home.

Accommodation Day 3

Serengeti Pure Tented Camp

Central Serengeti National Park

When you explore the Central Serengeti, you're enjoying one of the best wildlife destinations in northern Tanzania. Here you'll find the big populations of wildlife for which the Serengeti is famous. You'll also have a good chance of seeing big cats. This area has plenty of northern Tanzania's iconic acacia trees, as well as seemingly endless Serengeti horizons.

Activity Day 4

Welcome to one of the best things about going on safari as we take you on a guided game drive. It's a thrilling experience being out in the fresh air and hoping that animals appear to make this a memorable day on safari.

Day 6

Ngorongoro Highlands

High in the Ngorongoro Highlands, you can expect beautiful views, dense forests and cool temperatures. Apart from Ngorongoro Crater, there are plenty of dramatic land formations, with steep-walled craters and high, rocky summits a feature. Watch for wildlife also in the forests, including elephants, buffaloes and, if you're extremely lucky, leopards.

Activity Day 6

Your day in and around Ngorongoro Crater could just be one of the most memorable of your whole safari. You’ll explore the crater rim and then drive down onto the crater floor, where the critically endangered black rhinos are the stars of an astonishing wildlife show. You’ll almost certainly see large-tusked elephants, at least one of the Ngorongoro’s four lion prides, and wandering clans of spotted hyenas. It also just happens to be one of Africa’s most beautiful corners, a hidden world where you’ll be surrounded by steep, deep-green crater walls, a salt lake, forests and hippo-filled waterways.

Accommodation Day 6

Eileen's Trees Inn

Lodge

Eileen’s Trees Inn in the ‘Crater Highlands’ town of Karatu. Eileen’s Trees Inn is owned and managed by Tanzanians who have been in the safari and hospitality business for many years.
Our mission is to provide our Safari visitors with a comfortable accommodation at a good value and a reasonable price point.

Meal Plan Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner Drinking water

Day 7

Ngorongoro Crater

You’ll learn why magical Ngorongoro is unlike anywhere else in Africa. Cloud forests encircle the crater rim, and the view out across the caldera of this former volcano – quite apart from the altitude – will leave you gasping for air. Your drive down a steep trail carries you onto the crater floor where a unique wildlife offering is added to the sheer beauty of the experience. You’ll share the sunken ecosystem of the crater floor with hyenas, lions, elephants, black rhinos and hippos. An ecosystem that has formed in the crater in the millennia since the volcano wrought its terrible fury upon the land. It could just be one of your best safari days ever.

Activity Day 7

Your early morning descent into Ngorongoro Crater is a fantastic way to begin your safari day. The guided game drive will take in all the best views, as well as wildlife that could include lions, hyenas and black rhinos.
You'll love the chance to get to know the Maasai when we take you on a visit to the community in Ngorongoro Crater.

Day 8

Tarangire National Park

If you’ve never been to Tarangire (and even if you have) you’re in for a real treat. Tarangire is filled with giants – baobab trees all across the park, as well as elephants, lots of them. But that’s just the beginning. Of the big cats, you’ll probably see lions, and cheetahs and leopards are around, too. And it’s impossible to miss the wildebeest, giraffes, hippos, buffaloes and zebras. Your backdrop for all of this is one of the prettiest in northern Tanzania, with a memorable mix of river woodland, open plains and rolling hills. And some vantage points to take it all in.

This is where your safari in Tanzania will end. We hope that you have had the most fabulous trip and we can't wait to help you plan your next safari.

Activity Day 8

Explore fantastic Tarangire on a guided game drive that will take you out among the baobab trees to look for lions, elephants and more.
