4-Day Itinerary
Day 1: Arusha to Tarangire
Travel into Tarangire National Park for game viewing among ancient baobabs, seasonal marshes and the Tarangire River. The park is especially rewarding for elephants, giraffes, zebra, wildebeest and predators that patrol the river corridors. Your guide adjusts the route to wildlife movement and light conditions rather than following a fixed circuit. Continue to the Karatu highlands after the afternoon game drive.
Day 2: Karatu to Central Serengeti
Enter the Serengeti and spend the day tracking wildlife across open plains, kopjes and seasonal river systems. The exact game-drive route is flexible, allowing your guide to respond to recent sightings and seasonal movement of wildebeest, zebra, big cats and other wildlife. Cross the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and game drive into central Serengeti.
Day 3: Serengeti morning and Ngorongoro highlands
Enter the Serengeti and spend the day tracking wildlife across open plains, kopjes and seasonal river systems. The exact game-drive route is flexible, allowing your guide to respond to recent sightings and seasonal movement of wildebeest, zebra, big cats and other wildlife. Use the best wildlife hours in Serengeti before travelling toward the crater rim or Karatu for the night.
Day 4: Ngorongoro Crater and Arusha
Descend through the forested crater wall into the Ngorongoro Crater, a compact ecosystem where grassland, woodland and wetlands support a dense concentration of wildlife. Spend the day exploring different habitats, pausing for a picnic lunch before climbing back to the highlands. Descend early, explore the crater and return to Arusha in the afternoon.
