Arusha National Park, ideally located in northern Tanzania, offers a variety of activities due to its diverse geography. Visitors can explore Mount Meru, Momella Lakes, and savanna plains, and it is one of the few places where walking safaris are allowed. Accompanied by an armed ranger, you'll learn about the area's wildlife and history. A visit to the Ngurdoto Museum can provide insights into human-wildlife conflict. A short 1.5-hour bush walk followed by a Land Cruiser safari offers amazing wildlife encounters. You'll walk through savanna plains, spotting giraffes, bushbuck antelopes, buffalo, and warthogs at close range. After the walk, a drive to Momella Lakes reveals large colonies of flamingos, along with hornbills, ibises, pelicans, and vultures. The serene views make it an ideal lunch spot!

Tarangire is also home to hyraxes, small and amusing creatures closely related to elephants. They allow visitors to get quite close for photos, but remember to avoid touching the wildlife.

Ngorongoro Crater
The legendary Ngorongoro Crater! Here you will witness tens of thousands of wild animals living in the massive crater left by a huge ancient volcano. The actual crater is relatively small, when you consider that it is home to the most variety of animals per square meter than anywhere else in the world! Here, you are sure to see a great number of animals within close proximity to one another. The descent into the crater will take about half an hour of driving. The road passes through beautiful, lush forests with great scenery. After your morning game drive around the crater, you will stop at the picnic area next to Lake Magadi for a snack and rest. One of the draws of Lake Magadi are the hippos that live in the area. You’re sure to enjoy watching them while you eat lunch. Due to the large number of animals and endemic plants, Ngorongoro Conservation Area is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and renowned for its natural significance in the world.

Serengeti National Park
After breakfast, you will start the safari by being transferred to the central part of the Serengeti, known as Seronera. Here, your driver will try to find the animals you're most interested in. Closer to lunchtime, you can visit the Serengeti Visitor Center, where you will be offered a lunchbox and provided with lots of interesting information not only about the animals’ populations but also about the history of the National Park. Also, in this area you will be able to see hyraxes, which are the elephant's closest relatives.  Alternatively, we also recommend getting back to your camp for a quick lunch and nap before restarting the safari before sunset to enjoy the golden hour.  Serengeti wildlife numbers in thousands: elephants, buffalo, ostriches, giraffes, jackals, hyenas, lions, antelopes, leopards, and cheetahs—just keep your eyes peeled and enjoy the nature around you.

Serengeti National Park
Today is your final day in central Serengeti. Each day in the savannah brings new and exciting experiences. The lazy lions of yesterday might be on the prowl, and curious elephants may approach. You might even spot a cheetah atop your safari car! This is also a great opportunity to see the famous Kopjes—picturesque volcanic rock formations that provide excellent photo opportunities as animals rest in their shade. Don't miss Simba Rock, the real-life inspiration for the iconic scene in "The Lion King" where Mufasa presents baby Simba. See the very rock that inspired the beloved cartoon!

Serengeti National Park
Another day to enjoy the vast plains of Serengeti! This park is a huge space, brimming with life. It is impossible to view it all in one day; today, your guide will show you new places and interesting animals, so that you can get a full perspective. The Serengeti is a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site, chosen because of its important ecosystem, the dense population of animals, and the annual Great Migration. Serengeti was the inspiration for Disney’s “Lion King” feature film, but life here is not a cartoon—it is pure, wild, and beautiful. By dinner, you'll reach your hotel in Arusha (alternative drop-off points are possible upon request).
