Day to Day Itinerary

Day 1: Arusha to Tarangire
Pick up at 7:30 AM from your hotel in Arusha and depart for Tarangire   National Park with a picnic lunch for a full day game drive. Tanzania’s   third largest National park is known for its majestic baobab trees  that  dot the landscape, dwarfing the animals that feed beneath them.  The  Tarangire River is the centerpiece of this park which is famous for  some  of the largest herds of elephants in Africa. Here you may see  lion,  leopard, cheetah, lesser kudu, buffalo, Oryx, eland, giraffe and  zebra.  Post the game drive, you will head back to your camp/lodge where  a  delicious dinner awaits you.
 

Day 2: Lake Manyara
Pick up at 7:00 AM from your hotel and depart for Lake Manyara National   Park with a picnic lunch for a full day game drive. As you enter the   national park, lush forests of Acacia and Mahogany trees begin to set   the mood for what is waiting ahead. The game drive will go on till   evening with a small break for picnic lunch. During the game drive  watch  out for buffaloes, giraffes, impalas, baboons and the blue  monkeys.  Another spectacle of Lake Manyara National park is the tree  climbing  lions, however spotting them is a game of luck. In the right  season, you  can see the shoreline turning pink with millions of  flamingos flocking  there. Post the game drive, you will head back to  your camp/lodge where a  delicious dinner awaits you.
 

Day 3: Lake Natron
Your day will begin after breakfast by about 8:00 AM. We depart with   packed lunch boxes towards Lake Natron. Located about 3.5 hours drive   away from Mto Wa Mbu/Manyara, Lake Natron is a surreal destination and   unique natural spectacle. Its waters are highly alkaline and are   unusually shallow, averaging just one meter in depth. After checking   into your lodge and a short break, put your walking shoes on as a  Maasai  tribesman takes you on a walk around the shores of Lake Natron  on the  lookout for birds, especially the lesser flamingos. Lake Natron  is the  most important and regular breeding site for lesser flamingos in  East  Africa hosting up to 2 million of them during the breeding  season. The  majority of egg-laying and hatching takes place from  September to  January. After the hike, you will head back to your  camp/lodge for a  well deserved dinner and rest.
 

Day 4: Lake Natron to Central Serengeti
Your day starts early. Around 6:00 AM, accompanied by a Maasai guide,   enjoy some light hiking to the nearby Ngare Sero waterfalls and relax  in  the cool spray of water cascading down the rocks of this scenic  ravine.  Make sure to bring your shoes! We return to accommodation by  8:30 AM  and finishing up a good breakfast, will head out towards the  Serengeti  National Park. This road trip takes through variety of sites:  towns and  villages, savannah and forest, and you’ll be able to spot  animals like  antelope, wildebeest and zebra. We enter Serengeti in the  afternoon. The  Serengeti is arguably the most impressive wildlife  sanctuary in the  world. You will have an afternoon game drive in the  endless plains of  the Serengeti for a chance to see the great herds of  wildebeest, zebras  and gazelles or a pride of lions lounging in the  shade. A picnic lunch  will be done during the day long game drive  itself. The eventful day  comes to an end with dinner and a good night’s  rest in your  accommodation.
 

Day 5: Central Serengeti
You can either have a relaxed breakfast and depart for full day game   drives around 9:00 AM with packed lunch and return back to lodge late   afternoon around 6:00 PM. Or you can depart at 6:00 AM on an early   morning game drive. Later return to accommodation for breakfast and   relax for a bit and depart on an afternoon game drive with packed  lunch.  You will explore the central portion of the Serengeti National  Park  today. The legendary Serengeti National Park is the most renowned  safari  destination for its incredible population of lions and leopards.  The  central portion of the Serengeti - known as Seronera area is one  of the  richest wildlife habitats in the park. It features the Seronera  River,  which provides a valuable water source to this area and  therefore  attracts wildlife well representative of most of the  Serengeti’s  species. During the off season of the migration, one must  really look  out for the many lion pride that thrive in this region. The  interactions  and survival of these lion pride provide an excellent  game viewing  experience all year round. Along with a picnic lunch  during the full day  game drive, the day will come to a close by around  5PM. The long day  comes to an end with a good dinner and a good night’s  rest in your  accommodation.
 

Day 6: Central Serengeti to Ngorongoro
After breakfast around 6:30 AM, you will depart with a packed lunch   from the camp and have a morning game drive in Serengeti National Park   till lunch time. There are several game drive circuits in Central   Serengeti and depending on what you have already seen on your safari  and  your interests, your guide will take you to game drives at one or  more  of these circuits. You are very likely to see a good number of big  cats,  especially lions, along with a diverse array of other wildlife.  In the  afternoon depart for Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Depending on  your  choice of accommodation, you will be either staying inside  Ngorongoro  conservation area or exiting from Ngorongoro and staying at a  lodge in  Karatu. The day comes to an end with a good dinner and a good  night’s  rest in your accommodation.
 

Day 7: Ngorongoro Crater Tour (5 hours) to Lake Eyasi

 You  will have an early start. Finishing up with a quick breakfast you  will  make an early descent at around 6:30 AM into the crater floor. The   Ngorongoro Crater is the world’s largest inactive, intact and unfilled   volcanic caldera. It has a massive floor of about 260 sq kms with a   depth of over 2000 feet. The 5-hour game drive on the crater floor will   show you a lot of animal action. Keeping the camera ready is  definitely  recommended. The African elephant, buffalo, Black rhino,  Hippos, Hyenas,  Cheetahs and Lions are found in plenty. Post the picnic  lunch at the  beautiful Hippo pool, you will begin a steep ascend to  the top exit of  the crater. We will drive to our accommodation at Lake  Eyasi and relax  for the day.
You can also consider a quick visit to the shores of  Lake Eyasi in the  late afternoon/evening and explore it on a short trek  where you can  often see a large number of flamingoes and other birds.
 

Day 8: Lake Eyasi to Arusha
Around 05:30 am, after a light breakfast, you will depart from the   lodge and visit the Hadzabe Bushmen. They are the last remaining hunter   gatherers of East Africa who are continuing their way of life with  very  little changes since 10s of thousands of years. You will  participate in  their early morning activities including bush trek,  hunting, and making a  campfire. Other activities that might be done  during the day are  interacting with the Hadza, participating in their  honey gathering,  baobab fruit foraging, and experiencing their daily  life.
 

Later  in the day, you will drive  back to the village to meet the Datoga  people, another indigenous tribe  found in the area. Datogas are skilled  farmers and livestock keepers.  Some of them are also craftsmen living  independently for over decades  forging knives, arrowheads, and jewelry  for the greater Datoga tribe  and for the Bushmen.
