Day 1: Arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport
Welcome to Tanzania
Your journey begins the moment you touch down at Kilimanjaro International Airport. After clearing immigration, you’ll be greeted by a friendly, professional driver-guide who will be waiting to welcome you with a warm smile. As you drive to your hotel, take in the scenic views of Mount Kilimanjaro (weather permitting) and the bustling roadside villages. Settle in, relax, and prepare for the incredible adventure ahead.
Accommodation: Njiro legacy

Day 2: Lake Manyara National Park
After an early breakfast, your guide will pick you up and you’ll begin your drive toward Lake Manyara National Park. This small yet stunning park lies nestled beneath the Great Rift Valley escarpment and is famous for its lush groundwater forests and abundant wildlife. Keep your eyes open for elephants strolling beneath the fig trees, colorful flocks of flamingos along the lakeshore, and if you’re lucky, the elusive tree-climbing lions lounging on the branches. After an exciting game drive, you’ll head to your accomodation for dinner and overnight.
Accommodation: Ikumbi Lodge
Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
Day 3: Serengeti National Park
Today you’ll head toward the world-renowned Serengeti National Park, a name that evokes images of golden savannahs and roaming herds. Along the way, pass through the vibrant town of Karatu and enter the Ngorongoro highlands, where sweeping views give way to the vast Serengeti plains. Once inside the park, your game drive begins in earnest. Watch as giraffes nibble on acacia trees, wildebeest graze in the open grasslands, and lions lurk in the tall savannah. By sunset, you’ll arrive at your accomodation, surrounded by the sounds of the African wilderness.
Rise early with the sun to begin a full day of exploration in Serengeti. This park is home to the iconic Great Migration, as well as a high concentration of predators including leopards, cheetahs, and hyenas. Whether you spot a pride of lions on the hunt or a herd of elephants at a watering hole, each sighting will stay with you forever. Break for a picnic lunch under the shade of an acacia tree, then continue your game drive into the late afternoon. As evening falls, return to accomodation for a hearty meal and stories by the fire under a starlit African sky.
After breakfast, depart Serengeti and make your way to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. The drive takes you through Maasai villages and dramatic highland scenery. Once at the crater rim, prepare for a truly breathtaking sight—Ngorongoro Crater stretches before you, a collapsed volcanic caldera teeming with life. Descend 600 meters to the floor below, where you’ll find one of the highest densities of wildlife in Africa. Keep your camera ready for close encounters with rhinos, lions, zebras, and flamingos as you explore this UNESCO World Heritage Site. In the afternoon, ascend the crater wall and head to your nearby lodge or camp for the night.
Your final day begins with an early drive to Tarangire National Park, often overlooked but rich in wildlife and beauty. Known for its ancient baobab trees and large herds of elephants, Tarangire offers a peaceful and authentic safari experience. Enjoy a half-day game drive, soaking in the last moments of your African adventure. By midday, begin your journey back to Arusha, arriving in time for your onward flight or evening departure. As you say goodbye to Tanzania, you’ll carry with you the memories of roaring lions, golden sunsets, and the warm hospitality of its people.
