From Arusha, your journey takes you to Tarangire National Park, a lesser-known but incredibly rewarding destination for wildlife enthusiasts. Often overshadowed by its more famous neighbors, Tarangire offers a unique and uncrowded safari experience. The park is renowned for its large herds of elephants, which can be seen meandering along the Tarangire River, the park’s lifeline. This river draws a variety of wildlife, particularly during the dry season, when animals migrate to its banks in search of water. The park’s landscape is dominated by ancient baobab trees, which add a dramatic flair to the scenery and serve as a reminder of the enduring power of nature.

Serengeti National Park

No visit to Tanzania is complete without experiencing the Serengeti, one of the most celebrated wildlife reserves in the world. The Serengeti is a UNESCO World Heritage site and is best known for the Great Migration, a phenomenal natural event where millions of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles traverse the plains in search of greener pastures. Even if your visit does not coincide with the migration, the Serengeti offers exceptional wildlife viewing opportunities throughout the year. The park is home to the Big Five—lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhinoceros—as well as a myriad of other species, including cheetahs, hyenas, giraffes, and countless birds.

Your stay at at Serengeti National Park

During your time in the Serengeti, you will stay at the Lemala Nanyukie Lodge, an exclusive luxury camp located in a remote and pristine area of the park. The lodge offers a truly intimate and immersive safari experience, with tented suites that provide unparalleled views of the Serengeti plains. Each suite is designed to blend seamlessly with the natural surroundings, while offering all the comforts of a high-end retreat, including private plunge pools, outdoor showers, and spacious decks for wildlife viewing. The lodge’s main areas are equally luxurious, with a swimming pool, a lounge, and a dining area that overlook the vast plains, providing the perfect setting to unwind and reflect on the day’s adventures.

If your visit coincides with the Great Wildebeest Migration, our able safari experts will customize your tour with a stay in the luxury lodges in the Northern Serengeti where you will be closer to the famous Mara River, in order to try your luck with sighting the famous river crossing.

Ngorongoro Crater

The final destination on your safari is the Ngorongoro Crater, a place of extraordinary beauty and ecological importance. The crater is the world’s largest unbroken caldera, formed millions of years ago by a massive volcanic eruption and subsequent collapse. The original volcano is thought to have been much bigger than the highest mountain in Tanzania; Mt Kilimanjaro.

Today, the crater is a natural sanctuary, supporting a dense concentration of wildlife within its 260 square kilometers. The crater floor is a mosaic of habitats, including savannah, forests, and wetlands, each teeming with life. Here, you can observe a diverse array of species, from the elusive black rhinoceros to large prides of lions, as well as thousands of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles.

Your accommodation at Ngorongoro

Accommodation will be at the Lion’s Paw by Karibu Camps, perched on the rim of the crater, offering an unparalleled vantage point for exploring this natural wonder. The lodge combines luxurious accommodations with breathtaking views of the crater and the surrounding highlands. Each room is spacious and elegantly decorated, with large windows that allow you to take in the stunning scenery from the comfort of your bed. The lodge’s proximity to the crater allows for early morning game drives, giving you the best chance to see the wildlife as they are most active at dawn. After a day of exploration, you can relax by the fireplace in the lodge’s cozy lounge or enjoy a gourmet meal in the dining area, all while soaking in the serene and majestic ambiance of this unique location.
