After your arrival at the airport (Kilimanjaro International Airport/Arusha Airport), your private driver guide will pick you up and transfer you to your accommodation. There you'll have dinner and your overnight stay awaiting your safari departure the following day.

Accommodation: Mtoni River Lodge—a mid-range lodge located in Arusha (city)

Early in the morning after breakfast, we will depart for Tarangire National Park. The park is named after the Tarangire River, which runs through it. This ‘river of warthogs’ is the only source of water for wildlife in the region during the dry season. In some places, the vegetation is quite dense, including elephant grass, acacia woodlands, and lush groundwater forest. The park is well known for its elephant families, which can often be seen congregating by the river. You may also see giraffes, bushbucks, and hartebeests. These animals are closely followed by a range of predators, including lions and leopards. There are more breeding species of birds found in Tarangire National Park than anywhere else on the planet!
After lunch and an extensive game drive, we will head for our partner lodges near Tarangire for dinner and your overnight stay.

Accommodation: Lake Burunge Tented Lodge—a mid-range lodge located less than 1 hr drive from Tarangire NP

Early in the morning after breakfast, we will depart to Lake Manyara National Park which is an unspoiled paradise and is best known for its abundance of birds and tree-climbing lions. The dramatic western escarpment of the Rift Valley forms the park’s western border. To the east is the shallow, alkaline Lake Manyara. The lake covers a large area of the park, flooding and drying with the seasons, and is home to thousands of flamingos during the rains. The name Manyara comes from the Maasai word ‘emanyara’, a popular plant that is used to build the protective enclosure around a family homestead (boma). The park’s vegetation is diverse, ranging from savannah to evergreen forest. On your exploration of the park, you may see giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, buffalo, elephants, and if you are lucky, lions lounging in the trees.
After lunch and an extensive game drive, we'll head for our partner lodges for dinner and your overnight stay.

Accommodation: Ngorongoro Marera Mountain View Lodge—a luxury lodge located less than a 1-hr drive from Lake Manyara NP

Early in the morning after breakfast, we depart for Ngorongoro Crater. When you first see Ngorongoro Crater, it looks like a forgotten world. You will have an opportunity to spot the endangered black rhino and large families of lions. The crater was created when a large volcano exploded and collapsed in on itself two to three million years ago. It is famous for both its geological delights and for being a natural reserve that is home to some of the densest large mammal populations in the whole of the African continent. The drive down into the crater is an adventure in itself, and when you reach the crater floor, you'll quickly find yourself amongst large numbers of wildebeest, zebra, gazelle, and more than 500 bird species. The crater provides you with the best chance of seeing the endangered black rhino, which can sometimes be spotted in the open grass. Afterwards, have a packed lunch and drive to the Serengeti National Park. Dinner and your overnight stay will be at Embalakai Camp.

Accommodation: Embalakai Serengeti Camp—a luxury tented camp located inside Central Serengeti NP

Early morning after breakfast, you will proceed with your game drive inside the Serengeti National Park, looking for the big cats and all that this park has to offer. Serengeti National Park is undoubtedly the best-known wildlife sanctuary in the world, unequalled for its natural beauty and scientific value; it has the greatest concentration of plains game in Africa. It is the migration for which Serengeti is perhaps most famous. Over a million wildebeest and about 200,000 zebras flow south from the northern hills to the southern plains for the short rains every October and November and then swirl west and north after the long rains in April, May, and June. So strong is the ancient instinct to move that no drought, gorge, or crocodile-infested river can hold them back. Serengeti is truly home to the legendary great wildebeest migration. Late in the afternoon, drive to your accommodation for dinner and your overnight stay.

After breakfast, you will head straight to the airstrip and depart to Zanzibar Airport ZNZ and through Stone Town, whereby your flight can be arranged at an extra cost before travelling to the northern coast of Zanzibar known as Nungwi. It has the kind of white coral sand that seems to glow even after nightfall. For all its bustle, it can still feel secluded. Nungwi’s expansive coastline is wide open for swimming and snorkeling in some of Africa’s most pristine, reef-rich waters. It’s one of the rare Zanzibari beaches untroubled by severe undulations of high and low tides, making it perfect for all-day water activities.
There are plenty of activities on offer—walking tours, sunset cruises, diving excursions, and parasailing, to name a few—but all it really takes is a sunset sighting of traditional dhow boats bobbing in the sea to be captured by this enchanting African beach. You will spend 3 nights in this incredible place.

Accommodation: Z Hotel—a luxury hotel located in Nungwi (Zanzibar)

After breakfast and a bit of relaxation at the hotel in Zanzibar, you will be transferred straight to the airport or ferry. This will mark the end of your epic adventure.
