Arusha • Lake Manyara • Ngorongoro • Serengeti (Central & Western Corridor)

Day 1: Arrival in Arusha – Gateway to Adventure

Touch down in northern Tanzania, a land where wildlife roams in staggering abundance between Mount Kilimanjaro and Lake Victoria. You’ll be met at the airport and whisked away to your charming cottage-style retreat overlooking Lake Duluti. Nestled within a colonial coffee plantation, this tranquil lodge is the perfect place to unwind before your safari begins.
Overnight: Planet Lodge, Arusha

Day 2: Lake Manyara – Lions in the Trees

After breakfast, journey to Lake Manyara National Park. Your lodge, perched high on a cliff, offers sweeping views of the shimmering lake below. In the afternoon, set out on a game drive through diverse habitats—flamingos and pelicans on the lake, hippos in their pools, elephants in the forest, and the park’s legendary tree-climbing lions.
Overnight: Kudu Lodge, Karatu

Day 3: Ngorongoro Crater – Sundowners on the Rim

Begin the day with an early safari in Lake Manyara, then continue to the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater. Your lodge, built in traditional African rondavel style, sits on the crater rim with panoramic views across this natural wonder. Sip sundowner cocktails, enjoy Maasai cultural performances, and watch wildlife wander through the montane forest.
Overnight: Ngorongoro Rhino Lodge

Day 4: Ngorongoro Crater – Africa’s Eden

Descend into the Ngorongoro Crater for a full-day safari. This vast caldera, formed from a collapsed volcano, is home to the densest concentration of wildlife in Africa. Spot rhinos, elephants, lions, hyenas, and herds of wildebeest and zebra. At Lake Magadi, flamingos paint the waters pink, while Maasai herders move gracefully across the plains.
Overnight: Ngorongoro Rhino Lodge

Day 5: Olduvai Gorge & Serengeti – Into the Wild

Travel toward the Serengeti, pausing at Olduvai Gorge, the cradle of humankind. Continue into the endless savannahs of Serengeti National Park, where millions of animals roam. Arrive at your lodge overlooking the Seronera Valley, then head out for an afternoon game drive in search of lions, buffalo, and wildebeest herds.
Overnight: Serengeti Kati Kati Camp

Day 6: Central Serengeti – Balloon Over the Plains

Spend the day exploring the Serengeti’s iconic landscapes—rocky kopjes, gallery forests, and watering holes teeming with life. Seek out elusive leopards and cheetahs, or opt for a sunrise hot air balloon safari, drifting above the plains before a champagne breakfast. Between drives, relax at camp or visit a Maasai village.
Overnight: Serengeti Kati Kati Camp

Day 7: Western Corridor – Drama at the Grumeti River

Journey west into the Serengeti’s remote corridor, where riverine forests shelter leopards and colobus monkeys. At the Grumeti River, giant crocodiles lie in wait as wildebeest surge across in their epic migration. Hippos wallow, birds flourish, and the drama of survival unfolds before your eyes. End the day dining under starlight at your exclusive tented camp.
Overnight: Kirawira Tented Camp

Day 8: Farewell Serengeti – Return to Arusha

Wake to birdsong and enjoy a leisurely breakfast before your flight back to Arusha. Relive the magic of your safari from above as you soar over the plains. After lunch in town, transfer to the airport for your onward journey—your heart full of Africa’s wild beauty.
