DAY 1: ARUSHA NATIONAL PARK:

1 hour drive to Arusha park, game drive, late afternoon back to your hotel

Arusha National Park is a compact, breathtaking park with a variety of activities that can be fit into a single day of travel. The park is the nearest, just a one-hour drive from Kilimanjaro International Airport and Arusha town. There is an abundance of wildlife to be observed up close. From the colobus monkeys, hyenas, leopards, giraffes, buffaloes, bushbucks, and giraffes in black and white. This park is home to about 400 different types of birds, including fish, snake eagles, hornbills, pelicans, and flamingos. The stunning Seven Momela Lakes, the Ngurdoto Crater, and the second-highest mountain in Tanzania, Mount Meru, are three of Arusha Park's most prized and noteworthy attractions. When there are no clouds in the sky, you can clearly see the pinnacle of Mount Meru and the snow-capped peaks of Kilimanjaro.

The BEST THREE things to do in a single day are a nature walk in the morning, a wildlife game drive in the afternoon, and canoeing in the lake.

Take a three-hour nature walk with a park ranger and enjoy a lovely stroll beneath the canopy. Through the rainforest, the ranger will lead you to the sparkling waterfalls where you might be able to see colobus monkeys.

Three-hour wildlife game drive: Following a delightful physical nature walk, return to the safari vehicle for a game drive through the Serengeti Ndogo, ascending to the viewpoint of Ngurdoto Crater. This is the ideal location for a picnic lunch, after which you can descend to the shores of Momela Lakes and hop into the canoe.

A serene and picturesque two-hour boat excursion around Momella Lake's shorelines. Views of buffaloes, bushbucks, giraffes, hippos, and several water birds that live in and near the water are available on this canoe safari.

Following a full day of exploring one or both of the activities, you will return by car to your Arusha accommodation. Better make plans for your packed, take-out breakfast with hotel the night before the journey.

DAY 2: TARANGIRE NATIONAL PARK

2 Hours drive from Arusha town to Tarangire National Park.

Meet your knowledgeable safari guide in the hotel bar 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 trip 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 producing landscapes. If you're lucky, you might even catch a glimpse of herdsmen leading herds of huge cattle to fresh pastures or the cattle market in the early morning hours.

Your driver-guide, who is well-versed in the nation, will provide you with general information during the two-hour trip. 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 enormous 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.

You can choose to eat your picnic lunch at the picnic area or beneath an acacia or baobab tree. Your guide will provide it to you. Continue your game drive around the park after lunch, where you may spot lions, leopards, cape buffalo, and a wide range of antelopes. Should you be extremely fortunate, you may even spot threatened species like the Greater Kudu or the Fringe-Eared Oryx. Drive to the lodge or campsite after dusk for dinner and overnight.

DAY 3: DRIVE TO SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK

3 - 4 Hours 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 may also indulge in a little retail therapy at the neighborhood market. The two aforementioned activities come at an extra expense.

It's time to explore the Serengeti itself after your guide serves you a delectable picnic lunch right at the Serengeti National Park picnic site's entrance gate. 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 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. You will get back to the lodge or camp for late breakfast then load your bags in the safari jeep to set off again for another EN-ROUTE game drive through the Serengeti via a different route to Ngorongoro Conservation Area with plenty opportunities to spot the animals that eluded yesterday now on your way to the RIM of Ngorongoro Crater for overnight at the campsite or lodge.

DAY 5: NGORONGORO CRATER TOUR – LAKE MANYARA PARK

5-6 hours game drive in the crater, 3hrs 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.

Then drop 610 meters to the Ngorongoro Crater's Caldera bottom, which is 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 famous wildlife faces can 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 enjoy a picnic lunch by the edge of Lake Magadi, where you can see the greatest flamingo sightings. Don't forget to watch out for the black kites, who will be waiting to steal your food. Drive to Lake Manyara in the late afternoon after climbing the crater wall.

DAY 6 : LAKE MANYARA PARK GAME DRIVE

6 - 8 hours for game drive and 2-3 hours drive to Arusha town or Kilimanjaro Airport

You're probably worried about what this last day of the Lake Manyara Park game drive has in store for you. Lake Manyara Park provides some of the world's best game viewing experiences and is unquestionably the best photographer's paradise. Why not take advantage of the opportunity to go on a quick 3–4 hour nature walk during this early morning sunrise, at a somewhat higher fee, if you were unable to go on a night game drive last night? Do you really think you want to get out of the vehicle and walk the footpath under the guidance of an armed park ranger? Do not be afraid to walk up close to animals and the natural world; this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make lifelong memories.

You may anticipate seeing some of the most iconic creatures in Africa on your game drive, including the proud, tree-climbing lions that are a special treat in this park. You should also not miss the Masai and Reticulated giraffes, who virtually demand to be photographed. 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 colored lilac-breasted roller are sure to astonish even the most inexperienced observer. After crossing multiple hippopotamus pools and finishing your twilight game drive with a foot taste of the natural subterranean hot spring, you can check out of the park and head back to Arusha to be dropped off at your hotel or airport.
