After your morning breakfast, around 7:30 AM, your safari guide will promptly arrive at the hotel, notifying the reception of his presence. Once you rendezvous with your driver, the journey to Tarangire National Park commences, and by 10:00 AM, your first safari experience unfolds!

Tarangire is renowned for its diverse Tanzanian wildlife, including lions, buffalos, giraffes, and zebras. However, it is particularly famed for the impressive number of elephants, often found near the Tarangire River, their primary water source. Please bear in mind that wildlife sightings cannot be guaranteed due to the untamed nature of the environment, but your guide will make every effort to fulfill your expectations. Our team utilizes a dedicated radio channel to collaborate with other guides, enhancing the chances of spotting rare species.

Lunch will be provided during the safari, and the adventure continues into the evening before transferring you back to the hotel.

Important notes:

As this marks your inaugural safari day, kindly adhere to the national park’s visitor rules and our company recommendations.

Throughout the safari, exiting the vehicle is strictly prohibited, except in designated areas. Violations may result in substantial fines for the company and potential license revocation. Off-road driving is prohibited to prevent irreversible damage to the delicate natural ecosystem. While smoking is permitted during the safari, exercise extreme caution in extinguishing and disposing of cigarette butts to avoid savanna fires. We kindly request that you refrain from putting your feet on the safari car’s seats or sitting on the back, as such behavior can quickly render the vehicles unusable. Thank you in advance for your understanding and cooperation.

Begin your day with an early rise, followed by breakfast, and embark on a journey to Lake Manyara. The park’s expansive terrain is crisscrossed with groundwater streams, fostering an ideal setting for lush vegetation, a myriad of birds (including the iconic pink flamingos), and diverse African forest animals.

As midday approaches, take a break to explore the Maji Moto hot springs, where your driver will present personalized lunchboxes. Following this refreshing stop, the safari resumes, concluding the day with a transfer to your hotel by evening.

Make the most of your day by leaving the hotel bright and early to catch a glimpse of the diverse morning-active wildlife. Breakfast will be thoughtfully packed into lunchboxes for this purpose. At 6:30 AM, your journey to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area begins, and within an hour, you’ll find yourself within the crater’s captivating expanse.

Renowned for hosting the highest concentration of various animal species per square kilometer, Ngorongoro offers sightings of buffalo, elephants, lions, wildebeests, zebras, hippos, and elusive feline species like caracals and servals. The fortunate may even spot a rhinoceros, a species facing rapid decline.

Upon reaching the lakeside around lunchtime, enjoy a meal from your lunchboxes before the safari continues, concluding in a few hours with a transfer to Serengeti National Park.

During your travels, pay a visit to a memorial honoring West German researchers, Bernhard and Michael Grzimek, credited with preserving Northern Tanzania National Parks in their current natural state. Their remarkable story unfolds in the book “Serengeti Shall Not Die,” available on Amazon.com for USD 10–25.

As evening descends, you’ll be transferred to a hotel in the heart of the Serengeti valley.
