The itinerary below is designed to give you an overview of the route. Get in touch with our team for a full travel itinerary, or to create a tailor-made trip.
Day 1: The Adventure Begins!
Upon arrival at Kilimanjaro Airport, you will be met at the airport and transferred to your hotel in Arusha. Here you can rest up after your international flight and prepare for the adventure to come.
Depending on your international flight arrival time, you could head straight to Karatu on arrival. Alternatively, there are some wonderful local activities around Arusha and the Kilimanjaro area if you want to take the day to explore.
Overnight at Rivertrees Country Inn.
Day 2: Lake Manyara National Park
After breakfast, jump in the jeep and drive to Mto wa Mbu (1h30) for a quick stop at the local market. Continue to Lake Manyara National Park at the bottom of the Great Rift Valley escarpment. The park encompasses various ecosystems including forest and savannah, and the alkaline lake is teeming with wildlife. Keep an eye out for the tree-climbing lions!
In the late afternoon, continue to Karatu for overnight at your lodge.
Overnight at Ngorongoro Farm House.
Day 3-4: Serengeti National Park
This morning you will drive west into the vast Serengeti National Park, game driving through the park towards the camp. Spend the next couple of days on safari in the Serengeti with your private vehicle and guide.
Note: to track the herds of the Great Migration, where you stay in the Serengeti will depend on your travel dates. This itinerary includes Central Serengeti, but depending on your travel dates you might want to visit the North or South. Our team can help you understand which option is right for you.
Overnight at Kubu Kubu Tented Lodge
Day 5: Ngorongoro Crater
After breakfast, complete your journey through northern Tanzania as you head into the Ngorongoro Crater. What once was a fiery, lava strewn, inhospitable area is now home to 25,000 large animals, including lions, black rhinos and elephants.
You'll want to leave the Serengeti early to maximise your time in the crater. After a day on safari in the Ngorongoro, transfer to Karatu for overnight at your lodge.
