DAY 01: ARUSHA – NGORONGORO CRATER (190 KM 4 HRS.)
Meal Plan: Lunch, Dinner
07:30 Your driver/guide will pick you up from your Arusha area hotel, airport, or Arusha area residence with your own private 4 x 4 safari Jeep. Jump in and we’ll head for NGORONGORO CRATER
Standing at the crater’s rim, you’ll take in the awesome view of the great blue/green expanse spread out before you, inviting your discovery.
Our 4 x 4 Jeep will take us down the steep crater walls to a land of incredible exploration – lions, leopards, giraffes, elephants, buffalo, hippos, pink flamingoes, and more!
We’ll spend an incredible day here, enjoying this universe of over 25,000 varied animals on the crater’s floor – a mixture of plains, marsh, and wooded forest.
Then toward late afternoon, we will ascend back up to the crater’s rim to catch one of the area’s blazing sunsets.
We’ll spend the evening at our Ngorongoro safari lodge or tented camp.
Rediscover the calm and beauty of the natural world.
Book your adventure today and create memories that last a lifetime!
A vibrant fusion of nature, culture, and urban energy.
DAY 02: NGORONGORO – NDUTU AREA (86 KM APPX. 2- 3 HRS.)
Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
This morning if we’re lucky we just might catch a glorious sunrise at the crater’s rim. Then we’re on our way to the Ndutu Area. But first, we’ll make a stop at Olduvai Gorge, perhaps the world’s most important paleoanthropological site. The deep ravines of Olduvai, have brought forth a treasure of early man’s fossilized remnants and tools, giving us an invaluable record of our ancient history.
Ndutu is famous for its incredibly fluctuating wildlife population – especially from December to May. The first few months of the year are known as the calving season when up to 8,000 newborn wildebeest, zebra, and gazelle drop onto these rich, green fields every day.
But no matter what time of year you visit Ndutu, you can’t miss the thousands of resident animals, all the big cats, giraffes, buffalo, elephants, monkeys, baboons and so many others.
You’ll spend the first of two nights at your Ndutu Area accommodation.
DAY 03: FULL DAY AT NDUTU AREA
Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
This will be a special day, a time when we can get to know the numbers and variety of Nqutu’s grazers and predators. Today, we can go on as many game drives as we want.
If you’re here during the calving season, you’ll witness thousands of wildebeests and their young. It’s an incredible scene of first steps and the baying of countless baby animals. Their mothers protecting them from the advances of the many predators drawn to the vulnerable newborns.
Later in the spring, the youngsters are big enough to join the adult animals as they start herding north, in the formation of the Great Migration.
There will also be plenty of animals that make their home here, year-round. Plus, the region is especially rich in birdlife.
We will spend our second evening at our Ndutu Area safari lodge or tented camp.
Rwenzori Mountains National Park
A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Rwenzori Mountains offers a landscape of cascading waterfalls, serene lakes, and even glaciers atop its peaks. This lesser-known park is a haven for rare flora and fauna.
Rediscover the calm and beauty of the natural world.

DAY 04: NDUTU AREA – LAKE MANYARA (141 KM 3 HRS.)
Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
From the great plains of Ndutu, we head for the compact jewel of a park that awaits us at Lake Manyara. Though the reserve is not large, we will make discoveries of giraffes, elephants, wildebeests, impala, monkeys, warthogs, and an immense number of baboons.
But that’s just the beginning. The lake itself is a trove of fascinating birdlife – everything from cormorants to storks, spoonbills, egret, and flocked at the water’s edge, a fluttering carpet of bright pink flamingoes.
More surprises? Leopards and sometimes up in the acacia branches overhead, the park’s famous tree-climbing lions! And butterflies – hundreds of species filling the air about you with their fluttering comings and goings.
We will spend the evening at our Lake Manyara safari lodge or tented camp.
DAY 05: LAKE MANYARA – ARUSHA (114 KM 2 HRS.)
Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch
It’s our final day on safari so what do you say we take a spin around the beautiful park to discover that last elephant, warthog, or baboon? Perhaps we’ll see a tree-climbing lion…
Then we’ll head back to Arusha and along the way, stop to admire the scenery and break for lunch.
We will have you back at your Arusha hotel, residence, the airport, or another place of your choosing in the afternoon.
We promised you the wonders of Tanzania, from volcanic craters to the calving fields to the dense wild and birdlife at Lake Manyara.
