DAY 1: Arusha → Tarangire National Park → Karatu (Arusha → Tarangire → Karatu | 210 km, 5 hrs)
Your adventure begins as you arrive at Kilimanjaro International Airport, welcomed warmly by your private driver–guide. Begin your safari journey toward Tarangire National Park, a dramatic landscape of towering baobabs, roaming elephants, and predator-rich plains.
Enjoy a scenic game drive through the heart of the park, watching for lions on termite mounds, leopards resting in acacia branches, and cheetahs scanning the horizon. A picnic lunch awaits at Matete Picnic Site before you continue toward the highlands.
Arrive in Karatu — a peaceful town known as the “Safari Junction” — and settle into your charming lodge for a restful evening.
Accommodation: Baghayo Garden Suites
DAY 2: Ngorongoro Crater → Serengeti National Park (Karatu → Ngorongoro → Serengeti | 170 km, 5 hrs)
After breakfast, descend 600 meters into the Ngorongoro Crater — a breathtaking natural amphitheater sheltering over 30,000 animals. Experience unforgettable wildlife moments, from black rhinos and large buffalo herds to lions patrolling the open grasslands.
After a crater-floor picnic, ascend the rim and continue with an en-route game drive toward the Serengeti. As the landscape opens into vast golden plains, you enter one of Africa’s greatest wildernesses — the iconic Serengeti.
Accommodation: Serengeti Sound of Nature
DAY 3: Full Day in Serengeti National Park (Game Drive | ~150 km, Full Day)
