Day by day
Arusha
On arrival at Kilimanjaro Airport, you’ll be welcomed by your Wildlife Safari representative who will escort you to Lake Duluti Lodge, set amongst coffee plantations on the shores of Lake Duluti. Take in the views of the coffee farm with its large indigenous trees. Settle in and enjoy the day at your leisure.
Tarangire
Breakfast is served at your hotel before you set off in your 4WD vehicle with your Wildlife Safari guide, towards Tarangire National Park, with its mighty baobab trees and breathtaking views. Settle into Sanctuary Swala Camp in your canvas pavilion, shaded by acacia trees and boasting views of the waterhole. Set off on your late afternoon game drive, returning to camp for dinner and a glowing log fire.
Tarangire
Spend the day on safari exploring this unique and quieter area known for its large concentrations of elephants and game, attracted to the Tarangire River. The area is also home to rarer animals such as the fringe-eared Oryx, wild dogs and even pythons can be spotted in the trees, along with a myriad of birds. Stop to enjoy sundowners on your afternoon game drive, returning to camp as the creatures of the night awaken. In-between exciting game drives, take some time to relax at camp in the heat of the day, enjoy meals on the stilted deck and end the day around the campfire under a starry African sky.
Ngorongoro Crater
Enjoy a morning game drive and depart after breakfast for a scenic drive through coffee plantations towards Ngorongoro Crater. Arrive at Plantation Lodge with its beautifully landscaped grounds. Spend the afternoon relaxing, take a swim in the pool, go for a walk around the beautiful gardens or treat yourself to a sundowner on the bar’s terrace. Enjoy a four-course meal to end off your day.
Ngorongoro Crater
An early morning start to the day before descending the narrow track to the crater floor, where you’ll enjoy a picnic breakfast. Explore this Eden-like setting on the myriad of tracks around the crater floor, a mini biosphere with multitudes of animal and bird species, including the black rhino. In the early afternoon, you’ll make your up the narrow track for a late lunch with the rest of the afternoon at leisure. Dinner is served at the lodge to end off a blissful day.
Serengeti
Today you cross the adjacent Ngorongoro Conservation Area, passing Olduvai Gorge, the fascinating archaeological site, en-route. There’s an optional visit to the local museum before you enter the vast Serengeti National Park. Start game viewing on the way to Kirawira Serena camp, surrounded by the endless plains of the Serengeti. Take some time to settle into your luxury tent, offering splendid views of the Kirawira plains. Head off on an afternoon game drive, returning to camp for dinner and a campfire.
Serengeti
Enjoy a morning and afternoon game viewing on the vast plains of the Serengeti, world-famous for its annual wildebeest and zebra migration and the large diversity of game that fills the open plains. Be on the lookout for the Big-5 – lion, elephant, rhinoceros, buffalo and the elusive leopard – perhaps you’ll be lucky enough to see a predator stalking its prey. In-between riveting game drives, cool off in the sparkling pool or relax on your private balcony. Enjoy meals in the Edwardian styled dining rooms and end the day under the star-studded African sky.
Depart
Enjoy a final morning game drive before enjoying breakfast and departing to the airstrip for your flight to Arusha Airport where you’ll continue with your onward travel arrangements.

Destinations on this trip
Tanzania is an East African safari powerhouse, not least because in the Serengeti it features one of the greatest of all wilderness areas, and the backdrop for the annual Great Wildebeest Migration. Factor in Indian Ocean Islands, too, and it’s clear that Tanzania safaris can be all things to all people.
