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.

Spend some time in Arusha, both the gateway city for most safaris in northern Tanzania and a fascinating place to explore. Enjoy good restaurants, streets filled with energy and so many snapshots of vibrant Tanzanian city life. It’s everything you look for in an urban pit stop.

Activity Day 1

Evening

We will pick you up from Kilimanjaro Airport this evening and take you to the next stage of your journey.

Accommodation Day 1

Gran Melia Arusha

Hotel

The best rooms at Gran Melia Arusha look out towards Mt Meru, one of northern Tanzania's most beautiful mountains. Enjoy rooms of the highest quality, with modern decor, and a good onsite restaurant. The spa and wellness center are ideal for some relaxation while you take a break from safari life. You're also close to the center of Arusha.

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

Morning

Keep an eye out for wildlife this morning as our transfer to the next part of your safari doubles as a game drive.

Rest of Day

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.

Accommodation Day 2

Lake Manyara Kilimamoja Lodge

Lodge

Look out over the vast horizons of Africa from Lake Manyara Kilimamoja Lodge, high on the cliffs of the Rift Valley escarpment. The lovely rooms, the swimming pool and many of the public areas take full advantage of the views, and there's a garden and gym to enjoy as well. You're close to Lake Manyara National Park but in a wonderfully quiet location.

Meal Plan Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner

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.

Activities Day 3

Morning

Transfer Game Drive, Lake Manyara National Park to Serengeti National Park

Rest of Day

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.

Meal Plan Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner

Day 4 & 5

Northern Serengeti National Park

If you're here during the migration, you'll see the incredible wildlife populations of the Northern Serengeti. If you're here at other times, wildlife is still easy to see and there are very few people around. And whatever time of year you are here, you'll enjoy beautiful scenery with rocky outcrops and the Mara River flowing by.

There's also a bar and a dining tent.

Central Serengeti National Park

When people dream of the Serengeti, it's probably the Central Serengeti they're dreaming of. That's because you're in the perfect place to see all that the Serengeti has to offer, and this is the area of the park where wildlife is present in the biggest numbers. It's also filled with acacia trees and those Serengeti horizons that seem to go on forever.

Tarangire National Park

Wherever you go in Tarangire National Park, you’ll come across the park’s famous and larger-than-life baobab trees and elephants. These are the twin elements that give this park so much personality. There is, of course, so much more. We don’t just mean the huge populations of wildebeest, giraffes, hippos, buffaloes, baboons, vervet monkeys and zebras. Or the rugged landscape of rocky hills and rivers, swamps and savannah plains.
