DAY 1: TARANGIRE NATIONAL PARK

2 Hours drive from Arusha town to Tarangire park

Meet your knowledgeable safari guide in the hotel lounge at 7:30 am to get ready for the safari. After packing all of your safari gear into the safari car, head out for a two-hour drive to Tarangire Park, which entails a circuitous route around Arusha town. Along the way, you'll be treated to breathtaking views of Tanzania's varied wildlife, agricultural, and livestock rearing landscapes. If you're lucky, you might even catch a glimpse of herdsmen leading herds of large cattle to fresh pastures or the cattle market in the early morning hours.

Your driver-guide, who is well-versed in the country, will provide you with general information during the two-hour drive. Before you know it, the guide will be at the Tarangire Park gate parking lot. Following standard registration procedures, set out on a game drive through an abundant panorama of boundless golden savannah forests that envelop the region and extend towards the Tarangire River. The river itself is year-round and provides the region's animals with an essential supply of water for the duration of the season. The river, which is bordered by Baobab and acacia trees, is frequently frequented by large herds of elephants as well as other herbivores like zebras and antelopes. Additionally, it is the most effective predation sport for predators to easily make the kill.

DAY 2: DRIVE TO SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK

3-4Hrs drive to Serengeti gate & 6hrs game drive in Serengeti Park

We're in for a full and exhausting early breakfast because we have a long, bumpy, and dusty road ahead of us. After breakfast, load your things into your car and go out of the camp or lodge, passing by the picturesque Ngorongoro Conservation Area on your way to a wildlife drive. Along the trip, you may catch a glimpse of cape buffalo, herds of baboons, or perhaps elephants and leopards in the dense forest beneath the mist-covered rain forests of the reserve. You also can't miss the opportunity to view the crater from the rim by stopping at the crater view point with your binoculars.

Numerous optional activities that need additional costs are available in the Ngorongoro area. One such activity is the Olduvai Gorge Museum, also referred to as the Cradle of Humankind because it has some of the oldest fossils ever discovered that show signs of human settlement. Visit/tour one of the well-known real Maasai bomas to see and take part in traditional Maasai dances. You can also indulge in a little retail therapy at the neighbourhood market. The two aforementioned activities come at an extra expense. You will be treated to a delectable picnic lunch by your guide right at the Now that you've entered the Serengeti National Park picnic area, it's time to experience the actual Serengeti. See the famous savannas of Africa and be astounded by the enormous quantity of wildlife that grazes these grassy plains, including the Big Five, antelopes, and millions of wildebeest and zebras that walk this breathtaking, never-ending plain after dusk. Dinner and a night at a campsite or lodge right in the middle of the Serengeti National Park.

DAY 3: FULL DAY EXPLORE SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK.

From sunrise to sunset from 6am to 6pm, 10-12hrs full day game drive in Serengeti

We begin the day with a breathtaking dawn game drive over these stunning Serengeti plains, where we watch as the sun sets on the savannah grassland and predators, including lions and leopards, search for their morning prey. Alternatively, for an additional $650 per person, you might choose to witness this morning's dawn in the skies while on a historic HOT AIR BALLOON safari, landing in champagne and cheering while waiting for a well-prepared hot bush breakfast. It's a possibility, so ask your guide how you might incorporate this amazing experience into your safari. OR you can go on a morning game drive, return to your lodge for breakfast, and then leave with a packed lunch to spend the entire day exploring the park. Your driver will decide which path will give you the best possibility of witnessing the Great Five, the hippopotamus pools, as well as the Wildebeest Migration. Numerous herds of animals, including zebras and wildebeests roaming together, elegant giraffes, gazelles and antelopes jumping, the formidable African elephant, and the most revered group of all, the predators, will be visible to you. It's possible to see slender cheetahs, bashful leopards, giggling hyenas, and, of course, the majestic lion, the monarch of the forest. Drive back after dusk to have dinner and spend the night at a camp or resort.

DAY 4: SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK –OVERNIGHT NGORONGORO

On this final day in the stunning Serengeti National Park, your guide will be prepared for an early morning game drive before breakfast (a hot air balloon ride over the park's plains can be booked at an additional cost). When the first rays of sunlight reach the woods, you can observe cats preying, vultures soaring across the sky, and other predators and grazers congregating for the morning's verdant greenery.

Depending on the season, the incredible wildebeest migration is a remarkable sight. The game drive ends at around 10 a.m. to fully enjoy this magnificent dawn spectacle. Once you return to the lodge or camp for a late breakfast, you will load your bags into the safari jeep and head out again for another EN-ROUTE game drive through the Serengeti via a different route to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. On your way to the RIM of Ngorongoro Crater, you will have plenty of opportunities to spot the animals that eluded you yesterday. You will spend the night at the campsite or lodge.

(Game drive in Ngorongoro Crater 5-6hrs and 3 hrs drive back to Arusha)

Your safari guide will be prepared to begin the descent into the Crater at 6:00 am. In order to be the first group down the crater, we have to drive through the dense canopy of the Ngorongoro rain forest and pass by large, healthy baboons by the side of the road. Your guide offers to stop at the crater view point so you can take pictures of everything that is visible through your binoculars. However, this is not always possible in the morning. Next, descend 610 metres to the Ngorongoro Crater's Caldera bottom;

regarded by some as the world's eighth wonder. As soon as you catch a sight of this enormous, lush caldera from the panoramic viewpoint, you will see why it has gained such a prestigious reputation worldwide. The renowned Big Five animals are among the more than 120 species of mammals that call the Ngorongoro Conservation Area home. It is also one of the most sought-after safari locations worldwide that no one is willing to miss. It's a particularly ideal site to witness the pride of lions and vast numbers of hippopotamus enjoying the cool water, as well as the endangered black rhinoceros enjoying a solitary lunch out on the grass plains.

Some of Africa's most recognisable wildlife faces may be seen and photographed from the comfort of your open-roof top safari vehicle. The crater is home to an abundance of wildlife, including a sizable population of wildebeest, zebras, antelope, cape buffalo, and much more. It is one of the greatest places in Africa and the globe for safaris. Predators that live there include lions, leopards, cheetahs, jackals, and hyenas.

Following the day's adventures and excitement, you'll have a picnic lunch in the park. Drive to Lake Eyasi in the late afternoon after climbing the crater wall for an hour. One of the few authentic bushman tribes in Africa, the local guide will narrate you historical anecdotes about their customs and culture. Dinner and spending the night at the campground or lodge.

DAY 6: LAKE EYASI CULTURAL HUNTING WITH BUSHMEN HADZABE TRIBE – LAKE MANYARA CAMP OR LODGE

This day is dedicated for the best experience and study of the only Africans remnants who still live, practice and maintain their culture living in the bush

Get ready for breakfast by 5:30 am and have it ready by 6 am. You will be met by one of the bushmen elders or the village leader guide for a theory briefing before he introduces you to the excursion guide. Throughout the entire experience, you will be accompanied by a language translator guide. The activities begin early in the morning with your local bushmen guide leading you to the bush hunting in search of their daily meal as their daily living lifestyle despite the rapid development and influence from other activists. Pack your lunch boxes and head out on the rough, dusty, bumpy road for an hour's drive past Karatu town to the jungle bush of Lake Eyasi.

There are just 2,000 people in this intriguing, priceless group, but they provide us with an insight into the historical way of life in Africa. The hunters in the area will get ready to show you how to hunt. This show, far from being a spectacle, tells a lot about their daily life when they have to go hunting in order to provide for their families. Discover also how the Hadzabe get their prey near enough to be easily taken down with a hand bow and arrow, or even a spear, by using unique motions and even skinning specific species.

Visit the blacksmith cave to see how locally manufactured arrows, bows, spears, knives, and other utensils are made. You'll be astounded by the technology utilised in the bush to create all the hunting gear and other utensils. You can also explore the hunting tunnels hidden in trees and rocks. The Datoga tribal members living in the surrounding village, who are gradually leaving their traditional ways to live as cattle herders and farmers, are not excluded from visits. Tanzania's actual cultural variety is exemplified by this intriguing blend of civilizations.

DAY 7: LAKE MANYARA PARK GAME DRIVE

(6-8hrs for game drive and 2-3hrs drive to Arusha town or Kilimanjaro Airport) (optional3-4hrs nature walk in Lake Manyara park: accompanied by park ranger guide to different trails and beautiful sceneries to the thick canopy forest home of over 100 species of birds, monkeys, baboons, waterfalls, this experience is unforgettable and attracts little extra fees)

The Park provides some of the best game viewing in the world and is undoubtedly the greatest photographer's playground. Not to mention the Masai and Reticulated giraffes, who virtually beg to be photographed, you can expect to witness the iconic African wildlife, with the tree-climbing lions being a particular delight in this park.

Lake Manyara is a birdwatcher's paradise, with hundreds of different species of birds on show throughout the park. Large flocks of larger and lesser flamingos carpeting on the lake, circling predatory birds, and the vividly coloured lilac-breasted roller are sure to astonish even the most inexperienced observer. As you travel back to Arusha after passing by multiple hippopotamus pools, your sunset game drive will come to an end with a foot sip of the natural subterranean hot spring. Before you check into your hotel, you can enjoy a fantastic view of Tanzania's second-tallest mountain, Mount Meru, on a clear afternoon if the weather permits. END OF TRIP
