Flying From Zanzibar To Serengeti, Drive To Arusha
Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire
A direct flight from Zanzibar into Serengeti marks the start of this tour. Within a few hours, the coast gives way to open grasslands of Serengeti and long game viewing tracks that stretch far beyond the horizon. This program focuses on three of Tanzania’s most famous game reserves, beginning with the Serengeti before continuing to Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire. The routing works particularly well for travellers arriving through Zanzibar and who prefer to avoid long road transfers at the beginning of the safari. Game drives are planned with enough flexibility to follow wildlife activity between parks, and the accommodations allow proper time to relax at each destination.
The Morning Starts With A Transfer To Zanzibar Airport For A Scheduled Bush Flight Into Central Serengeti. Your Guide Meets You Upon Arrival And The Safari Begins Immediately With A Game Drive En Route To Your Lodge. Central Serengeti Forms Part Of The Park’s 14,763 Km² Ecosystem And Maintains Steady Wildlife Activity Through Much Of The Year, Particularly Around The Seronera Valley.
Lions Are Frequently Seen Resting Near Granite Outcrops While Hyenas And Jackals Remain Active Around The Plains. Lunch Is Served At The Lodge After Check In, Followed By A Relaxed Late Afternoon Game Drive Before Returning For Dinner And A Good Night Sleep.

Lodge Or Tented Camp In Tarangire Area
Today Allows More Time To Enjoy Extended Game Drives At A Relaxed Pace. The Seronera Area Supports Permanent Water Sources, Which Explains The Steady Concentration Of Wildlife Even Outside Migration Months. The Morning Game Drive Follows Drainage Channels And Open Plains Where Predators Often Remain Visible Well Into The Day. Cheetahs Are Commonly Spotted Scanning From Termite Mounds While Elephant Herds Pass Between Patches Of Acacia Woodland. Lunch Is Arranged Back At The Lodge, Giving Time To Rest During The Warmer Hours Before Heading Out Again Later In The Afternoon. An Optional Hot Air Balloon Safari Can Also Be Arranged This Morning With Advance Booking. As Daylight Softens, The Drive Continues Toward Kopjes Where Lions Frequently Settle Before Darkness. Dinner Is Served At The Lodge.

A Morning Breakfast Is Followed By A Final Game Drive Before Departing Toward The Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Wildlife Sightings Continue Along The Way, Particularly Those Close To The Roadside. A Packed Lunch Is Taken At A Designated Picnic Site Before Proceeding Toward The Crater Rim.
Ngorongoro Remains One Of The Few Places In Tanzania Where Black Rhino Sightings Still Occur With Relative Consistency, Though Sightings Depend Entirely On Timing And Visibility Conditions.

Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge
The Descent Into Ngorongoro Crater Begins Early After Breakfast While Visibility Is Still Clear And Wildlife Activity Is Strong In The Crater Floor. Formed Through Volcanic Collapse Millions Of Years Ago, The Crater Covers Roughly 260 Km² And Supports A Concentrated Wildlife Population Of Approximately 2,500 Due To Permanent Water Availability. The Morning Game Drive Explores Soda Lakes, Grasslands, The Lerai Forest, And Marsh Sections Where Hippos Remain Partially Submerged During Warmer Hours. Large Bull Elephants Are Occasionally Seen Near The Forest Edge While Lions Often Rest Along Vehicle Tracks After Night Hunting Activity. Lunch Is Served At The Crater’s Designated Picnic Site Near The Hippo Pool Before Ascending The Crater Wall In The Afternoon. The Drive Continues Toward Karatu Where The Evening Feels Relaxed Before Dinner And Overnight.

Acacia Farm Lodge
After Breakfast, We Leave For Tarangire National Parking, Passing Small Farming Settlements, Open Countryside, And Local Markets Before Entering The Park Gate. Tarangire Covers Approximately 2,850 Km² And Is Strongly Associated With Elephant Activity, Particularly During The Dry Season When Wildlife Concentrates Near The Tarangire River.
The Landscape Differs Noticeably From Serengeti, With Thick Baobab Clusters, Dense Bush Sections, And Wide Pockets Of Golden Grassland. The Game Drive Continues Through River Circuits Where Elephants, Buffalo, And Waterbuck Are Regularly Sighted Near The Water Sources. Lunch Is Taken At The Lodge After Check In, Followed By Another Drive Later In The Afternoon. As Temperatures Cool, The Park Becomes More Active Again, Particularly Around The Riverbanks. Return To The Lodge Before Sunset For Dinner And Overnight.
Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
Tarangire Sopa Lodge
This Morning Begins At A Slower Pace With Breakfast At The Lodge Before A Longer Day Of Exploration In The Park. Tarangire’s Vegetation Allows A Different Style Of Game Viewing Compared To The Open Visibility Of Serengeti, And Patience Often Rewards Sightings That Are Missed During Shorter Drives. The Southern Part Frequently Attracts Fewer Vehicles, Making
The Experience Feel More Secluded During Certain Periods Of The Year. The Guide Follows Seasonal Wildlife Activity While Adjusting The Route According To Recent Sightings And Road Conditions. Lunch Is Arranged At A Picnic Site Overlooking The River Before Continuing With An Afternoon Drive Through Baobab Country And Woodland Sections Where Leopards Occasionally Rest In Sausage Trees. The Evening Ends Back At The Lodge With Dinner And Time To Review Photographs From The Safari.
