Itinerary

  • Arrival

    Arrive at Kilimanjaro Airport, Tanzania. After clearing customs, look for your driver. They will be waiting for you, holding a sign with your name. Your driver will transport you to Springlands Hotel on the outskirts of Moshi.

    • Overnight Springlands Hotel (with breakfast) or Similar
  • Day 1 Tarangire National Park

    Existing on the cusp of the mighty Serengeti and the verdant plains of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area in northern Tanzania, the Tarangire National Park remains something of a more off-the-beaten-track option for safari goers touring the wildlife circuit in this section of the Great RiftValley. However, it certainly packs no less of a punch than its famous brothers to the north, with its lush,green and wild canopies of exotic baobabs, soaring termite mounds and booming resident population of African elephants, not to mention some of the best walking safari routes the continent over. The wildlife action here centers largely on the meandering channels of the Tarangire River, which suck in massive populations of wildebeest, zebra and buffalo when the rest of the Tanzanian steppe dries up.With them come the ubiquitous predators: spotted leopards, speedy cheetahs, and—of Course—lions, which can often be found sunning themselves on the boughs of the kigelia trees that pepper the Park. During evening hours you will head to karatu for accommodations and over there it will be full board accommodations as your first night.

    • Overnight Omega View Hotel (with lunch, dinner & breakfast) or Similar
  • Day 2 Serengeti

    Head out after breakfast for the drive to Serengeti National Park. The word “Serengeti” is derived from the Maasai language, meaning “endless plain.” En route to the Serengeti, you can visit a Masaai Village, a perfect place to explore the Maasai culture and even participate in some tribal activities. Why not choose to visit Olduvai Gorge, known as the Cradle of Humanity; the Museum is a testament to the long journey that humanity has made from its humble roots in East Africa to its current state as the dominant species on earth.

    • Overnight at heritage luxury camp (with lunch, dinner & breakfast)
  • Day 3 Serengeti Day 2

    Relax for a full day in the Serengeti, unequaled for its beauty and home to the Great Wildebeest Migration. The huge herds of plains game, such as wildebeest, zebra, and antelope, dominate the park, while the attendant predators, such as lion and cheetah, are to be found amongst the many kopjes scattered across the plain. Its landscape varies from open grass plains in the south, savanna with scattered acacia trees in the center, hilly, wooded grassland in the north, to extensive woodland and black clay plains to the west.

    • Overnight at heritage luxury camp (with lunch, dinner & breakfast)
  • Day 4 Ngorongoro Crater

    Enjoy a morning game drive in the Serengeti before your transfer to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, part of the southern Serengeti ecosystem. Most wildebeest migration can normally be found on the short-grass plains from December to April. The area is usually heavily populated with elephants, birds, and resident game. Check-in at the lodge with an afternoon game drive.

    During evening hours you will head back to the hotel for the Accommodation as full body

    • Overnight at heritage luxury camp (with lunch, dinner & breakfast)

    Enjoy a full-day game drive in the Ndutu area. Explore the range of different habitats that include swamps, woodland, soda lakes, and the world-famous Serengeti short grass plains. See great herds of wildebeest and zebra roam. This time of year allows you to witness calves running minutes after birth. This is also the time of year with the best predator action! The marshes and lakes support various bird life and the resident lion prides. Cheetahs are abundant in the plains, and the wooded ridges are always worth a look.

    • Overnight at Omega View (with lunch, dinner & breakfast)or similar

Many of Tanzania’s last remaining black rhinos can be seen grazing on the open grassland of the crater floor, surrounded by some of the 20,000 large animals that occupy the crater, including lion, cheetah, eland, zebra, and gazelle. Flamingos, among other bird species, can often be seen feeding at Makat Soda Lake. Afternoon drive to Moshi for your overnight stay at Springlands Hotel.
