Day 2: Arusha to Tarangire National Park
After a leisurely breakfast, depart for Tarangire National Park — famous for its ancient baobab trees and massive elephant herds.

The journey takes you through the beautiful highlands of Ngorongoro, with scenic stops along the way. Arriving in the central Serengeti by mid-afternoon, you’ll enjoy a game drive through the endless plains teeming with wildlife — from wildebeest and buffalo to cheetahs and elephants. As the sun sets, check in to your luxury tented camp, where you’ll enjoy fine dining, warm hospitality, and a night immersed in nature.
Day 4: Full Day in Serengeti National Park
Today offers a full day of wildlife viewing in the Serengeti. Begin with an early morning game drive to catch predators in action, followed by a relaxed breakfast back at camp. Throughout the day, explore different parts of the park, tracking animals across acacia-dotted savannahs and along riverbanks. You can choose to take a picnic lunch in the bush or return to camp for a hot meal. As the day winds down, enjoy a sundowner drink and another luxurious night in your tented suite.
Day 5: Serengeti to Ngorongoro Conservation Area
After breakfast, enjoy a final game drive through the Serengeti en route to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. The drive offers breathtaking scenery and additional chances to spot wildlife.

After a relaxing dinner, spend the evening in cozy luxury, preparing for one of the most unique game drives of your safari.
Day 6: Ngorongoro Crater Safari and Return to Arusha
Wake up early for a descent into the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the best places in Africa to see the Big Five in a single day. Enjoy a private game drive on the crater floor, where lions, elephants, rhinos, and flocks of flamingos share the same habitat. After a scenic picnic lunch, begin your return journey to Arusha, arriving in the late afternoon. You’ll be dropped off at your hotel or airport, marking the end of your luxurious Tanzanian safari.
