ITINERARY

Day 1 - Depart

Fly from Heathrow to Arusha, arriving next day. Regional departures from around the UK are also available.

Day 2 - Tarangire National Park

You’ll be met on arrival at Kilimanjaro Airport and driven to Tarangire, Tanzania's third largest national park and sanctuary (approximately 215 kms). Tarangire is home to an incredible variety of wildlife, especially during the dry season when it’s home to amongst the highest concentration of wildlife in Tanzania. The area is dotted with Baobab trees, and is home to elephant,zebra, wildebeest and hartebeest. Arrive for late lunch, after which a game drive will introduce you to the park. Overnight: Maramboi Tented Camp (lunch and dinner included).

Day 3 - Ngorongoro

Enjoy an early morning walk at Tarangire before departing for Karatu (approximately 120 kms). En-route a game drive at Manyara National Park will introduce you to this beautiful and scenic area. Arrive in to Karatu for a late lunch. After lunch you’ll see a slice of local life with a visit to the market. Overnight: Ngorongoro Farm House (breakfast, lunch and dinner included).

Days 4/5 - Serengeti National Park

After breakfast depart Karatu and travel to the Serengeti National Park, through Ngorongoro Highlands and via the Olduvai Museum (approximately 165 kms). The Serengeti is one of the most famous game reserves in the world, and rightly so - it’s endless plains are home to an incredible variety of wildlife, with stunning views at every turn.

On Day 5 there’s an opportunity for a hot air balloon ride over the Serengeti (optional extra) in the early morning, followed by breakfast (complete with sparkling wine) in the bush - it’s an amazing experience, and one we’d highly recommend. Overnight: Serengeti Kati Kati Camp (breakfast, lunch and dinner included).

Day 6 - Ngorongoro

After breakfast depart for the Ngorongoro Crater, taking a picnic lunch with you (approximately 165 kms). Descend into the 100-square-mile Ngorongoro Crater, an extinct volcano that’s very rich in wildlife, with elephants, rhinos, wildebeest, zebras, buffaloes, gazelles and big cats all making their home here. Overnight: Ngorongoro Farm House (breakfast, lunch and dinner included).

Day 7 - Depart

Drive back to Arusha (155 km) and have lunch at a local restaurant. Later, transfer to the airport for your onward travel arrangements (breakfast and lunch included).
