Day 1: One Hour Airport Transfer From Kilimanjaro International Airport to Arusha City

As soon as you land at Kilimanjaro International Airport, your Victorious Vacation professional safari guide will be there to take you to your accommodation in Arusha. Arusha City, nestled between Kilimanjaro and Meru, is the jumping-off point for a safari into the African bush and the gateway to Tanzania's Northern Circuit of national parks. Head out to see the sights and sounds of Arusha's local culture.

There are popular coffee tours for those interested in learning more about the cultivation, harvesting, drying, and roasting of coffee beans to create a wide variety of blends that are exported and enjoyed around the world.

Day 2: The most beautiful African drive to Tarangire

Start your safari off well when your guide picks you up from Arusha and whisks you away to Tarangire National Park. Tarangire National Park is in the Manyara Region of Tanzania. The Tarangire River provides most of the park's fresh water, making wildlife sightings more likely as the animals congregate near the river. Warm, sunny days are perfect for viewing Tanzania's diverse wildlife, such as a herd of 300 elephants, wildebeest, zebras, giraffes, elands, and buffalo.

In time for dinner, your guides will bring you back to your hotel in Tarangire after an exciting day of exploring the wilderness.

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner

Day 3: Safari game drive to Lake Manyara National Park and walking safari in Ngorongoro

Following a filling breakfast, your tour guide picks you up and drives you to Lake Manyara. Despite being one of Tanzania's smaller parks, Lake Manyara National Park has one of the greatest biomass densities of large mammals in the world due to its diversified vegetation, which includes grassland, marsh, and evergreen forest. Expect to witness numerous elephant families, countless flamingos, and even lions that can scale trees.

Keep an eye out for the baboons in this park, which can form groups with up to 200 individuals.

After Lake Manyara game viewing, you will proceed to a walking safari in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, which is home to the Ngorongoro Crater, the world's largest unbroken caldera. During this remote walking safari, you'll see different landscapes and wildlife, and meet the Maasai people who live there. Get away from the crowds and enjoy these beautiful highlands. The scenery and views are truly stunning.

After an active day, drive to your accommodation in Ngorongoro.

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner

Day 4: Descend to the magnificent Ngorongoro Crater for game viewing.

Enjoy the sunrise over the crater before setting off on a day tour to see the unique wildlife within the crater's safety zone. The Big Five assembled here, and the crater walls make a beautiful backdrop. After a day of sightseeing, you can relax with a few sundowners while gazing out at one of the world's most enchanting locations, and then enjoy a delicious meal while gazing at the same breathtaking panorama.

Day 5: Visit the Olduvai Gorge hot site for archaeology and travel to the breath-taking Serengeti.

We get an early start today as we travel to the Olduvai Gorge, commonly known as the Cradle of Humanity, to get a glimpse into the past. Anyone interested in the history of our species will find this unique site fascinating. The morning spent here learning about the earliest bones of Homo sapiens discovered here by Mary Leaky will be time well spent. While we make the three-hour and thirty-minute drive to the Serengeti National Park, you can take it easy and rest in the comfortable seats.

This enormous park is home to various animals, from small herbivores to giant carnivores such as lions, leopards, and cheetahs. Enjoy dinner at the lodge where you are staying.

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner

Day 6 and 7: Immerse yourself in the Serengeti.

Take a full-day game drive through the Serengeti to see as much as possible. It is your best opportunity to see the Big Five in their natural habitat on the broad plains, and it will put you at the centre of some of the finest natural spectacles on the planet. Spend the entire day exploring the vast plains of Serengeti National Park while enjoying a great meal. Your guide will return you to your lodge within the national park after an exciting day in the wilderness, just in time for a delicious meal.

Gather 'round the fire and tell tales of your wildlife adventures throughout the day.

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner

Day 8: Fly out from Seronera Airstrip (Serengeti) to Arusha Airport

On our last day in the Serengeti, we awoke early for one last wildlife drive. Due to the inactivity of most predators during the heat of the day, the early morning is frequently the best time to witness the excitement of the chase. Please take advantage of your remaining time in the Serengeti National Park before we head to the Seronera Airstrip to board a flight to Arusha Airport. We will then travel by road for one hour to Kilimanjaro International Airport.

Meals Included: Breakfast and Lunch
