Itinerary

Upon arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport, you will be met and transferred to your Hotel for your overnight stay on a bed-and-breakfast basis.
Arusha is a city in East Africa's Tanzania, located at the base of volcanic Mt. Meru. It's a gateway to safari destinations and to Africa's highest peak, 5,895m Mt. Kilimanjaro, lying some 100 kilometres northeast. To the west lies Serengeti National Park, home to wildlife including lions, rhinoceros, giraffes and leopards. The annual migrations feature huge herds of wildebeests crossing its plains.
MAIN DESTINATION Arusha City
ACTIVITY Arrival day
MEAL PLAN Dinner, water & Soft drinks
ACCOMMODATION Gran Melia Hotel Arusha

At 7 am after breakfast, you will be picked up from the hotel by your safari guide and driven to Tarangire National Park. Enjoy the wildlife!
Tarangire National Park is almost 3000 sq km in size and is probably best known for its huge numbers of elephants and baobab trees. The name of the park comes from the Tarangire River which crosses through the park. Tarangire is especially spectacular during the dry season (June - November) as wildlife concentrations rival that of the Serengeti. This is because enormous populations of elephants and other animals are drawn to the Tarangire River as their only source of water. With its varied habitats and permanent water in the Tarangire River, the park is home to over 2000 elephants and 500 bird species.
MAIN DESTINATION Tarangire NP
ACTIVITY Game drive
MEAL PLAN Breakfast + Lunch + Dinner, water & Soft drinks
ACCOMMODATION Kitela Lodge

After an early breakfast, depart towards the most famous National Park in the World, the Serengeti. This will be an unforgettable moment for anyone seeing it for the first time you will enter the Ngorongoro Conservation Area (NCA) where you will notice the landscape changing from hilly forests to plain and green grasslands. Once you reach Ndutu you will begin a half-day game drive with a convenient stop for your picnic lunch. At this time of year, the Migration is normally in Southern Serengeti / Ndutu (Ndutu is actually part of Ngorongoro Conservation Area). One of the main features of this area is Lake Ndutu. It is an alkaline lake (like most of the other Rift Valley Lakes) and is a treasured source of water.
MAIN DESTINATION Southern Serengeti NP
ACTIVITY Game drive
MEAL PLAN Breakfast + Lunch + Dinner, water & Soft drinks

Stunned by the previous day's spotting of the migration, today you get another chance to view the beautiful wildlife spectacle. The Ndutu region is a part of the glorious Serengeti National Park as well as the Ngorongoro Conservation Area (NCA). You can either have a relaxed breakfast and depart for full-day game drives around 9:00 AM with packed lunch and return back to the lodge late afternoon around 6:00 PM. Or you can depart at 6:00 AM on an early morning game drive. Later return to the accommodation for breakfast and relax for a bit and depart on an afternoon game drive with packed lunch. The action-packed game drive will end late in the evening by around 5 PM. You will now head towards your choice of accommodation, where a freshly prepared dinner awaits you. Ensure you get some good rest and recharge yourself for another eventful day.
