Day 1

Pick up at Kilimanjaro Airport and Transfer to Arusha

Pick up at Kilimanjaro Airport and transfer to Arusha. If you arrive with an early flight you can relax at the pool or go to the city center to explore Arusha. In the evening, you can enjoy the sundowner at the pool and start your holiday with a nice cocktail.

Day 2

Game Drives in Arusha National Park

Today your safari adventure begins! We'll pick you up from your hotel in Arusha. Your guide will take you to Arusha National Park, a park with beautiful scenery and a large population of animals. The park is divided into three parts:

Mount Meru, Ngurdoto Crater and Momella Lakes. At th

Day 3

Game Drive in Lake Manyara National Park and Road Trip to Lake Natron

Today, you will go to Lake Manyara National Park. This park is known for its breathtaking panoramic views, waterfalls, babbling brooks with clear water, and hot springs. You will do a game drive in Lake Manyara all day. After your game drive, you will go on a road trip to Lake Natron.

Day 4

Ngare Sero Waterfalls and Hominid Footprints

In the morning, your guide will take you for an adventurous walk to the waterfalls (make sure to bring walking shoes). Several Maasai villages are found nearby and your guide for the hike will be a Maasai. Engaresero Footprint Site is reported to host one of the best-preserved sets of fossilized hominid footprints in the world. However, until now there has been no detailed characterization and age determination of the footprint-bearing strata (the Footprint Tuff). The over 400 footprints are between 5,000 to 19,000 years old and came to scientists’ attention in 2008. They cover a cordoned-off area slightly larger than a tennis court. The Engaresero footprints are intriguing because of the abundance and diversity of prints; some tracks seem to show people ‘jogging’ while another implies a person with a strange, perhaps broken, toe and others point in the direction of a dozen people, mostly women and children, traveling together.

Day 5

Flamingo Lake Walk at Lake Natron

The Rift Valley’s Lake Natron is the chosen mating ground of the endangered lesser flamingoes. The long-legged waterfowl may flourish here, but to most other living creatures, Lake Natron is hell on earth. The lake’s steeply alkaline waters are unattractive to small birds, while the lake flats provide a variety of environments for birds that do well in the alkali oasis. Best time to spot birds at Lake Natron: the flamingos of Natron lay their eggs normally during the end of the dry season in September and October but the hatching starts in the early parts of the wet season and climaxes by December.

Day 6

Game Drive Ngorongoro Pololeti Game Reserve

The new Pololeti Game Reserve, is part of the Loliondo Game Controlled Area, now operating under the NCAA (Ngorongoro Conservation Area Authority), an important area for breeding wildebeest, and a corridor for the animals coming from the Serengeti National Park.

Because wildlife knows no boundaries, you will find a wide variety of animals in the game reserve, such as hunting lions, roaming elephants, grazing buffalo, running antelope, and more.

Day 7

Game Drives in Serengeti National Park

On day seven, you will head towards the Serengeti. The Serengeti is known for its endless plains of savannah and

forest landscapes. The park is famous for its migration involving about 1.5 million herbivores and followers.

At the end of the day, you'll arrive at Africa Safari Ikoma where you'll sleep in a furnished comfort safari tent. Located between Serengeti Seronera, Grumeti, and Ikorongo Game Reserves the location is perfect for exploring the Serengeti. It’s the perfect retreat for a relaxing moment watching birdlife or rather just relaxing while listening to the sounds of the African bush.

Day 8

Game Drive in Serengeti National Park

Today, you will drive to South Serengeti. The whole day you will be on a game drive and exploring the wonderful world of the animals who are living in Serengeti.

At the end of the day, you will head to Ndutu/South Serengeti where you will stay overnight at Africa Safari South Serengeti. The area is famous for the calving season of the Great Migration, an absolute highlight of the annual wildebeest migration. The short rains in November and December provide nutritious pastures for the wildebeest, which stay in the area until the end of the long rains. Most calves are born in January and February. The open grassy plains offer them some safety, but these young wildebeest attract hungry predators, such as lions, leopards, cheetahs, and hyenas. Between April and November, the south-eastern plains dry out, but there is still an abundance of game in the area. There are in fact two water sources, Lake Masek and Lake Ndutu, where many wild animals come to drink.

Day 9

Game Drive in Ngorongoro Crater

Today, you will wake up early in the morning. After breakfast, you will drive towards the amazing Ngorongoro Crater. The Ngorongoro crater is the largest intact crater in the world. The crater life is estimated at 30,000 large mammals. Due to its

natural borders, there is an abundance of wildlife throughout the conservation area which is home to the Big Five including the African black rhino as well as hyena, zebra, and elephants to name a few.

Day 10

Game Drives in Tarangire National Park

It’s time to head to Tarangire! During the 1 hour drive, you will enjoy the view of the beautiful nature, landscapes, and local communities. You’ll do a full-day game drive in Tarangire which is famous for its large numbers of elephants, baobab trees, and tree-climbing African pythons. At the end of the day, you will go back to Arusha for your last night.

Day 11

Transfer from Arusha to Kilimanjaro Airport

Today you will drive to Kilimanjaro Airport for your flight back home or to Zanzibar to continue your holiday.
