6 Day Safari Expedition
Day
1
Arusha – Lake Manyara National Park
(Approx. 2.5 hrs)
Your safari adventure begins early at 7:30 am, when your private driver-guide arrives to pick you up from your hotel or residence in a customized 4×4 Land Cruiser Jeep. As you drive through scenic Maasai country, keep an eye out for herders tending to their cattle—an authentic glimpse into local culture.
By late morning, you’ll arrive at Lake Manyara National Park, known for its alkaline lake that shimmers with thousands of pink flamingoes.
The park’s diverse landscape—lush forest, open plains, and acacia woodland—is home to elephants, giraffes, impalas, baboons, and even the elusive tree-climbing lions. As the sun sets, ascend the escarpment for breathtaking views before heading to your lodge or tented camp near Lake Manyara for dinner and rest.
Day
2
Lake Manyara – Serengeti National Park
(Approx. 4 hrs)
After breakfast, depart for the legendary Serengeti, Tanzania’s oldest and most iconic national park. En route, enjoy a picnic lunch surrounded by the wilderness.
By early afternoon, the vast golden plains of the Serengeti begin to unfold, welcoming you to one of the world’s greatest wildlife arenas. With the largest lion population in Africa, and home to the Big Five and countless other species, the Serengeti offers exceptional game viewing.
You’ll have time for your first game drive in the park before checking in to your lodge or tented camp. Share the day’s discoveries over a hearty dinner and prepare for more excitement ahead.
Day
3
Full Day in Serengeti
Rise early to catch the magical morning light dancing across the Serengeti plains. This is the heart of wildebeest calving season (February–March), when up to 500,000 calves are born—a remarkable spectacle of life, drama, and survival. Predators also gather, making this a thrilling time for wildlife viewing.
Spend the day exploring the park’s varied landscapes—from open savannah to woodlands, marshes, and river areas. Spot lions, cheetahs, elephants, and hyenas, as well as lesser-seen species like honey badgers and wild dogs. After a full day on safari, return to your Serengeti lodge or tented camp for a well-earned dinner and stories by the campfire.
Day
4
Serengeti – Ngorongoro Crater
(Approx. 3 hrs)
Enjoy breakfast before setting out for the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. En route, stop at Oldupai Gorge—often referred to as the “Cradle of Mankind”—where fossil discoveries have reshaped our understanding of early human evolution.
Arrive at the rim of Ngorongoro Crater, a vast collapsed volcano that now cradles an ecosystem rich in wildlife. Descend into the crater floor, a 600-meter drop into a world of over 25,000 animals including lions, leopards, black rhinos, hippos, and flocks of flamingoes around Lake Magadi.
After a full day exploring this UNESCO World Heritage Site, ascend back to the rim to witness a classic Ngorongoro sunset and settle in at your lodge for the night.
Day

Ngorongoro – Tarangire
(Approx. 3 hrs to Tarangire )
Wake up early to catch a sunrise over the crater before journeying on to Tarangire National Park.
This lesser-visited gem is famed for its massive elephant herds and iconic baobab trees. Over 250,000 animals migrate here during the dry season, creating incredible viewing opportunities.
Look for elands, oryx, and over 500 bird species, plus the chance to spot wild dogs.
