Northern Tanzania Safari Experience

Our driver guide will wait for you at Kilimanjaro International Airport or Arusha Airport to greet and warmly welcome you to Tanzania. Afterward, he will transport you to Arusha, where you will relax at Planet Lodge and await the big reveal tomorrow.

You will meet our representative after breakfast in the morning, and they will give you an overview of your Tanzanian safari. After that, you will travel to Tarangire National Park. With a total area of over 2,600 square kilometers (1,000 square miles), Tarangire National Park is the sixth-largest national park in Tanzania. Vast herds of elephants, baobab trees, and tree-climbing pythons are the main draws of Tarangire. After lunch at the lodge, you will go on a game drive in the afternoon. Savor the first day of your wildlife excursion. You return to the lodge later in the evening.

After breakfast, drive through the Olduvai Gorge and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area on your way to Serengeti National Park. The park is 14,763 square kilometers (5,700 square miles) and includes rivers, trine forests, woodlands, grasslands, plains, and savannahs. The park is located in the north of the nation, contiguous with the Masai Mara National Reserve on the borders of Tanzania and Kenya. We will take a game drive through the Serengeti Central Areas once we reach Serengeti National Park. Then, we will drive to Central Serengeti Luxury Camp for dinner and an overnight stay.

After spending the entire morning seeing wildlife on the vast plains of the Serengeti, we will have lunch at a picnic area inside the park around 1:30pm. We will then carry on with our game drive until nightfall. Most people are familiar with the Serengeti because of the yearly migration that crosses the vast savannah grasslands. Thousands upon thousands of animals, mostly wildebeest, as far as the eye can see, make for an amazing spectacle. In addition to the wildebeest, other notable inhabitants of the Serengeti are cheetahs, leopards, and lions, some of which stay on the central plain and migrate with the latter. We will return to Central Serengeti Luxury Camps for dinner and an overnight stay.

Drive from the Serengeti to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area after breakfast. The incredible Ngorongoro Crater, the largest unbroken caldera in the world, is recognized as a World Heritage Site. The crater dominates with 600-meter (2,000 feet) high cliffs that offer a sharp drop into an open area covering about 246 square kilometers (95 square miles). Amidst vast herds of zebra and wildebeest, you might spot anything from elephants to lions and, if you are lucky, the nearly extinct black rhino. Drive later to spend the night at the camp on the crater rim.

After breakfast at 5:50am, we depart at 6:00am for a six to seven-hour game drive in the crater. On the crater floor, we will encounter the community of people living in this World Heritage Site and enjoy a picnic lunch. All year long, the Ngorongoro Crater offers fantastic game viewing. Because there is always plenty of grazing and water available, the wildlife in this area has a permanent population. Drive back to Farm of Dreams Lodge for dinner and your overnight stay.

Tanzania's Lake Manyara is a freshwater lake. Thousands of bird species call Lake Manyara home at different times of the year. The flamingoes surround the lakeshore to form a shimmering pink zone. Ostriches, egrets, herons, pelicans, and storks are among the other birds seen here. It is the park's most noticeable landscape! Depending on how long we have to spend in Lake Manyara National Park, we will go on a full-day game drive. We will make our way to Arusha Planet Lodge in the evening to have dinner and spend the night there.

After breakfast at the lodge, we will depart for Arusha, marking the end of your unforgettable Tanzania safari. Upon arrival in Arusha, our team will transfer you to Kilimanjaro International Airport or Arusha Airport, depending on your flight schedule, in time for your departure flight. Bid farewell to Tanzania with wonderful memories of your safari adventure.
