After breakfast, your professional safari guide will pick you up, and the journey to Tarangire National Park begins. The drive passes through open Maasai plains dotted with acacia trees and small villages where you may spot Maasai herders in their colourful attire, guiding cattle or riding bicycles. As you enter Tarangire, the scenery transforms into a wildlife paradise famous for its enormous elephant herds, towering baobab trees, and endless savannas. From the open roof of your 4×4 safari jeep, you’ll enjoy incredible views of zebras, wildebeests, giraffes, lions, and sometimes even leopards resting on tree branches. After an extensive game drive, you’ll head to your lodge for a relaxing evening and dinner surrounded by the sounds of nature.

This morning, after breakfast, you set out towards the vast Ndutu plains, located within the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and forming part of the greater Serengeti ecosystem. The drive takes you through ever-changing landscapes, from lush highlands to the open golden plains of the south. As you arrive in Ndutu, you’ll notice the large herds of wildebeest and zebra spread across the horizon. This is the heart of the great migration during the calving season. After lunch, enjoy your first game drive through this incredible region, keeping your eyes open for predators such as cheetahs and hyenas that patrol the plains waiting for opportunities. As the sun sets over the savannah, you’ll drive to your lodge for dinner and overnight rest.

After a hearty breakfast, you’ll spend the whole day exploring the magical Ndutu area. This is the time when life bursts across the plains, thousands of wildebeests give birth almost simultaneously, filling the landscape with newborn calves and the dramatic presence of predators nearby. You’ll witness unforgettable moments as the young ones take their first steps and learn to run within minutes of being born. The region offers a diverse range of habitats, including grasslands, woodlands, and soda lakes, which attract elephants, giraffes, jackals, and hundreds of bird species. You’ll enjoy a picnic lunch in the wild before continuing your afternoon game drive, returning to your camp or lodge as the golden light fades across the horizon.

After breakfast, you’ll begin your drive towards the world-famous Ngorongoro Crater, one of Africa’s most iconic natural wonders. The descent into the crater feels like entering a hidden paradise; the vast floor unfolds before you, spread with sweeping grasslands, shimmering lakes, and clusters of acacia trees. Wildlife is abundant here; it’s one of the best places to spot black rhinos, lions, elephants, zebras, hippos, and flamingos all living in harmony within this enclosed ecosystem. You’ll enjoy a picnic lunch beside a hippo pool before continuing your exploration through the crater floor. In the afternoon, ascend the crater rim and drive to the charming town of Karatu for dinner and overnight.

As you explore, you’ll encounter elephants, baboons, giraffes, and maybe even hippos wallowing in the water. After a relaxed picnic lunch and final game drive, you’ll start your journey back to Arusha, arriving in the late afternoon.
