Program
Day 1: Moshi | Springlands Hotel
Arrive at Kilimanjaro Airport. After clearing customs, look for your driver. They will be waiting for you, holding a sign with your name. Your driver will transport you to Moshi.
- Overnight at Springlands Hotel or similar (with breakfast)
Day 2: Lake Manyara | Highview Hotel
Drive to Lake Manyara National Park in the morning. Set against the steep escarpment of the Rift Valley, you’ll find Lake Manyara National Park with its evergreen groundwater forest and various ecosystems, including acacia woodland, grassy plains, a swampy fan delta, and of course, the expansive lake.
This diversity attracts a wide variety of mammal, bird, and wildlife species. Manyara is also home to rare tree-climbing lions. The park offers excellent game viewing, with buffalo, impala, giraffe, bushbuck, waterbuck, hippos, and many elephants roaming near the lake. Also look out for blue monkeys, velvet monkeys, and very active olive baboons.

Day 3: Serengeti | Serengeti Safari Lodge
Head out after breakfast for the drive to Serengeti National Park. The word “Serengeti” is derived from the Maasai language, meaning “endless plain.” Enroute to the Serengeti, you can visit a Maasai village, the perfect place to explore the Maasai culture and even participate in some tribal activities.
Or, visit Olduvai Gorge, known as the Cradle of Humanity. The museum there is a testament to the long journey that humanity has made from its humble roots in East Africa to its current state as the dominant species on earth. Also enjoy a game drive enroute to your camp.
- Overnight at Serengeti Safari Lodge or similar (with lunch, dinner, and breakfast)
Day 4: Serengeti | Serengeti Safari Lodge
Relax for a full day in the Serengeti, a place unequaled for its beauty and being home to the Great Wildebeest Migration. The huge herds of plains game such as wildebeest, zebra, and antelope dominate the park, while the attendant predators, such as lion and cheetah, are to be found amongst the many kopjes scattered across the plain.
Its landscape varies from open grass plains in the south, savanna with scattered acacia trees in the center, hilly, wooded grassland in the north, to extensive woodland and black clay plains to the west.
- Overnight at Serengeti Safari Lodge or similar (with lunch, dinner, and breakfast)
Day 5: Ngorongoro | Highview Hotel
Enjoy a morning game drive enroute to Ngorongoro Crater, then descend into the crater for game driving and exploration. The crater is 600 m deep, 16 km across, and 265 sq km in area. Enjoy the spectacular scenery and game viewing in what has been described as the world's Eighth Wonder.
Many of Tanzania’s last remaining black rhinos can be seen grazing on the open grassland of the crater floor, surrounded by some of the 20,000 large animals that occupy the crater, including lion, cheetah, eland, zebra, and gazelle. Flamingos, among other bird species, can often be seen feeding at Makat Soda Lake.
In the afternoon, you'll be driven back to your lodge for your overnight stay.

Day 6: Tarangire | Springlands Hotel
You'll drive to Tarangire National Park in the morning. It is traversed by the Tarangire River, which never dries up completely. Being the only source of water during the dry season, it draws hundreds of animals to the park, making wildlife and bird viewing spectacular.
