Itinerary

Upon your arrival at the airport, our driver and I will warmly welcome you. We will transfer you to your booked hotel in Arusha or Moshi for check-in. You’ll receive a short safari briefing from the tour guide, providing an overview of the exciting safari adventure ahead.

After a hearty breakfast, we will head to Tarangire National Park, renowned for its large elephant herds and diverse wildlife, including giraffes and various bird species. We will spend the entire day exploring Tarangire National Park and then overnight inside the park.

After breakfast, we’ll transfer to Manyara National Park, home to tree-climbing lions, flamingos, and a variety of birds. We will spend the full day exploring Manyara National Park. In the evening, we will transfer to Kudu Lodge in Karatu for an overnight stay.

After breakfast, we’ll transfer to Serengeti National Park. En route, we’ll visit a Maasai Boma to engage with the Maasai community, learn about their culture, and enjoy their traditional activities. We’ll then continue to Serengeti National Park, where we will overnight at Serena Hotel or another available accommodation. No game drive is planned for this day, allowing you to relax and prepare for the adventures ahead.

Enjoy a full day of game drives in Serengeti National Park. We will have two game drive sessions: an early morning drive to witness animal hunting activities and an evening session to catch the sunset and observe late hunting activities by lions and cheetahs. Between the sessions, you will return to the lodge for a hot shower, lunch, and some rest.

Continuing from the previous day, we will explore different parts of the vast Serengeti National Park. Each area offers unique landscapes and wildlife behaviors. Enjoy another day filled with exciting game drives and wildlife encounters.

Our final full day in Serengeti will follow a similar pattern, with new locations to explore and different wildlife to observe. This will be our last night in the Serengeti.

After breakfast, we will have a half-day game drive before transferring to Ngorongoro Crater. You will spend the night at a hotel in Ngorongoro, with the option to change accommodations based on your preference. If you enjoyed your stay at Serena Hotel, we can arrange for you to stay there again.

In the morning, after breakfast, we will descend into the Ngorongoro Crater for a full day of game drives. Despite having seen many animals in Serengeti and Manyara, the Crater offers a unique and different wildlife experience, including the chance to see rhinos. After exploring the Crater, we will transfer back to Arusha for an overnight stay at a hotel.

After breakfast at the hotel, we will visit the Snake Park in Arusha. Explore the zoo, which features snakes, tortoises, and camel rides. This will be a relaxing day to learn about the behavior of snakes and tortoises.

You have two options for this day. We can either do a city tour combined with a visit to a coffee plantation or a city tour combined with a visit to Lake Duluti. We will discuss your preferences to tailor the day’s activities accordingly.

It’s time to say goodbye. After breakfast, we will transfer you to the airport for your departure. We hope you leave with unforgettable memories and feel like part of the Banzi Adventure family.
