You’ll gather at your Arusha accommodation, where a Marhaba Escape safari guide will meet you. Following a brief overview of the day’s journey, you’ll pick up your packed lunch and head out to Tarangire National Park for wildlife spotting in both the mid-morning and afternoon. This park, compact and awe-inspiring, is rich in natural wonders, and framed by age-old baobab trees. It’s a habitat for various species such as Lesser kudu, eland, lions, zebras, wildebeests, buffaloes, elephants, Masai giraffes, fringe-eared oryxes, and gerenuks, celebrated for its dense population of baobab trees and prominent lion sightings.
Tarangire is distinguished by having the largest number of elephants globally, with herds sometimes surpassing 3,000. It holds the position of having the second-largest concentration of wildlife in Tanzania, next to the Serengeti National Park. You’ll enjoy a secluded picnic lunch in the park’s serene spots during the afternoon.
After breakfast, you’ll set off for Serengeti National Park for a morning game drive, enjoying lunch at an ideal spot within the park. In the afternoon, the safari continues before you arrive at the camp.
Serengeti National Park is famous for its massive migrating groups of zebras, antelopes, and wildebeests, which gather during the rainy season for calving. Be prepared to encounter resident predators like leopards, cheetahs, and lions, playing their part in the circle of life.
After breakfast, you’ll embark on a full-day game drive in Serengeti National Park, carrying packed lunches. You’ll explore regions of the park with abundant wildlife, guided by an expert. In the afternoon, you’ll enjoy a picnic lunch at a premier site within the park. Post-safari, you’ll head back to your lodge/camp for dinner and overnight.
Serengeti National Park, located in northern Tanzania, is a World Heritage Site spanning about 15,000 square kilometers. It’s home to over 2 million herbivores, 4,000 lions, 1,000 leopards, 550 cheetahs, and roughly 500 bird species. During the dry season, the park is renowned for vast migratory herds of wildebeests and zebras. The North Serengeti supports a rich variety of resident wildlife, including lions, elephants, hippos, giraffes, crocodiles, and rare Oribi antelopes.
After an early morning (6:30 am) breakfast, you will embark on a sunrise game drive to observe a variety of wildlife until the afternoon. Next, you’ll return to the camp for lunch and to pack up. You’ll conduct a game drive while departing the Serengeti, en route to the Ngorongoro Highlands (a 2-hour drive) situated close to the edge of the Ngorongoro Crater.
Ngorongoro Crater, Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Arusha Region
Following an early breakfast, you will descend into the crater at 6:15 am on a quest to locate the black rhino. Rhinos are the most elusive to find in the magnificent crater since most animals are more visible in this park because it is situated on the crater floor.
After lunch, you will embark on a safari drive and ascend from the crater to the camp to prepare for the journey back to Arusha town.
This tour is ideal for beginners eager to experience the majesty of Mount Kilimanjaro. Although reaching the summit in one day isn’t feasible, our trip allows you to hike the initial stretch of the famous Marangu Route up to Mandara Hut. As you trek through the lush rainforest, you’ll be surrounded by vibrant birdlife and may catch glimpses of playful colobus and blue monkeys. The hike takes approximately 3 hours to ascend and 2 hours to descend.
