Because of the variety of habitats, the wildlife and beauty on this tour will appeal to both experienced and novice safari enthusiasts. You will look for stunning "upside-down trees" (Tarangire's characteristic baobabs), red-dust-coated elephants, big cats, and riverfront animals in Tarangire.
Then the Ngorongoro Crater, home to the largest concentration of big animals in Africa and where it is common to encounter lions, leopards, buffalo, rhinoceroses, and elephants all in one game drive, is among the essential places to see the Big 5.
Your safari comes to a close in the Serengeti, where you'll spend three nights at a movable tent camp that floats around the savannah to set up in the ideal spot for the safari's highlight—the wildebeest migration.
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. This activity is available for an additional fee and is suitable for those who are serious coffee drinkers.
Meals Included: Dinner
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: 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 breath-taking panorama.
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
Day 4 and 5: Immerse yourself in the Serengeti.
In the wee hours of the morning, we embarked on a long day of game viewing in the Serengeti. 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. 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 6: 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
