Great Parks of Tanzania

Upon arrival at the Tanzania airport and after customs procedures, your guide will take you to the hotel (transfer approximately 40 minutes). The rest of the day is free to rest and acclimate to the new time zone. Rest at the Arusha hotel. Dinner and accommodation.

After breakfast, we will depart for Tarangire National Park, which we will reach after approximately 2 and a half hours on a paved road until we arrive at the park's entrance. This park is considered one of the most beautiful refuges for Tanzania's large fauna. Its name comes from the Tarangire River, which crosses the park from south to north. Baobabs and acacias dominate the landscape, as do the elephants. Additionally, we can observe some animals not found in other parks, such as the Jackal or types of antelopes unique to this location. Lunch at Tarangire Safari Lodge, enjoying stunning views of the Park, and where, for an additional charge, it will be possible to cool off in the pool. The safari will continue in the afternoon, taking advantage of the best light for photographing animals and landscapes. The best season to visit Tarangire extends from mid-July to February, but the park can reserve wonderful surprises throughout the year. Arrival at the camp around 5:30 PM, where we can relax while admiring the spectacle that nature offers at the end of every day. Dinner and accommodation.

Early breakfast at the camp. This day will be dedicated to exploring the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. From the lodge, it takes about 15 minutes to reach the “Ngorongoro Gate” and another 45 minutes to reach the road that descends to the crater floor. The caldera measures 20 km in diameter and protects in its center an incredibly rich fauna, perfectly safeguarded by a 600-meter-high wall. This natural amphitheater is undoubtedly the world’s most famous wildlife reserve... It is the land of the Big Five: buffalo, elephant, leopard, lion, and rhinoceros. Picnic lunch. The safari continues in the afternoon in this splendid location that offers a mix of forests, plains, and swamps, where different wildlife cross in varied landscapes. We will ascend from the crater around 4:00 PM and make a short stop on the north slope of the crater to admire the superb landscapes in beautiful light. After arriving at our camp, we will take a 1-hour walk at the top of a Kopje to admire the great plains of the Serengeti before the sun sets. Dinner and accommodation.

After breakfast at the camp, we will continue our safari, heading to the great plains of the Serengeti. The Serengeti is a vast ecosystem, home to a dazzling array of wildlife and the site of the planet's largest migration. The name comes from the Maasai word for endless plains, but the Serengeti is much more, with woodlands, riverine forests, and swamps that provide shelter to several species of mammals and more than 300 varieties of birds. The fate of these animals is intimately linked to the ever-changing landscape. The transition from the rainy season to the dry season means there is no rest or stability: those who live here must remain in constant motion to survive on the savanna. Picnic lunch. In the afternoon, we will continue our safari along the Seronera and Banagi rivers, where a significant concentration of felines (lions, leopards, …) is often found. Arrival at the camp is expected around 5:00 / 5:30 PM. Dinner and accommodation at Ronjo Camp, which is located in the center of Serengeti NP, near the Banagi River and away from other camps. Ronjo Camp is nestled in the heart of a beautiful acacia forest, providing cover and shade. Ronjo offers an authentic experience, where you can forget about your phone, admire the stars around a campfire, and listen to the "voices" of the savanna.

Early breakfast at the camp followed by a safari departure. Optional activity (replacing the safari), with an additional cost: hot air balloon flight, for a unique and thrilling experience that is unforgettable. Picnic lunch (optional with supplement: lunch at Ndutu Lodge). After lunch, we will continue our safari around Lake Ndutu and cross the Ngorongoro to reach Karatu. Dinner and accommodation.

After breakfast, free time until departure to Arusha. Lunch at Shanga Restaurant and transfer to the airport for the return flight or to Zanzibar.
