Day by Day

Day 1 Arrival in Arusha

⏱Morning 🏨Kahawa House Luxury lodge located in Arusha (City) 🍽Lunch & dinner (Breakfast not included) All drinks (Except for spirits/liquor)

You will be picked up from the airport by a Josh Dreamland Safari representative and driven to your accommodation in Arusha. Depending on your arrival time, you will hopefully have time to relax and prepare for the adventure of a lifetime! Busy Arusha is an essential part of safari life here in northern Tanzania, and most travellers pass through at some stage.

Day 2 Arusha to Tarangire National Park

⏱Morning 🏨Ngorongoro Marera Mountain View Lodge Luxury lodge located 1-2hr drive from Tarangire NP 🍽All meals included All drinks (Except for spirits/liquor)

Your Josh Dreamland Safari guide will collect you from your accommodation after breakfast. You will then drive to Tarangire National Park. This transit drive is approximately 2.5 hours on good tarmac roads. The park is named after the Tarangire River, which runs through it. This "river of warthogs" is the only source of water for wildlife in the region during the Dry season. The park is well known for its elephant families, which can often be seen congregating by the river. You may also see giraffes, bushbucks, and hartebeests. These animals are closely followed by a range of predators, including lions and leopards. There are more breeding species of birds found in Tarangire than anywhere else on the planet! The huge and ancient baobab trees can be seen here. Some of them are said to have lived for more than 1,000 years. Lunch will be at a picnic site inside the park. After your game drive, you will transit to your accommodation in Karatu.

Day 3 Ngorongoro Crater to Serengeti National Par

⏱Morning 🏨Land of Nature Camp Mid-range tented camp located inside Central Serengeti NP 🍽All meals included All drinks (Except for spirits/liquor)

After breakfast, you will drive up into the cooler regions of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. When you first see the Ngorongoro Crater, it looks like a forgotten world. Concealed by the steep volcanic walls is a pristine wilderness including sweeping savannah, pockets of acacia woodland, and glistening lakes and swamps. The crater was created when a large volcano exploded and collapsed 2 to 3 million years ago, and it covers an area of 260 sq km. The crater is famous for both its geological delights and its status as a natural reserve home to some of the densest large-mammal populations on the African continent. After you descend into the crater, you quickly find yourself amongst large numbers of wildebeests, zebras, gazelles, and more than 500 bird species. The crater offers the best chance of seeing the endangered black rhinos. You will then transit through Ngorongoro Conservation Area to the Serengeti, entering from the south of the park.

Day 4 Serengeti National Park to Karatu

⏱Morning 🏨Ngorongoro Marera Mountain View Lodge Luxury lodge located near Karatu (Town) 🍽All meals included All drinks (Except for spirits/liquor)

The Serengeti is truly spectacular. It is famous for its vast open grasslands, which offer excellent wildlife sightings. The Serengeti's climate and vegetation have remained largely untouched for millions of years. Whilst it boasts abundant wildlife, it is perhaps best known for the annual great migration. Vast numbers of wildebeest, accompanied by large numbers of zebras and antelopes, move in an annual pattern, constantly seeking fresh grazing. The migration can be found during any given month; you just need to know where to look! The question should really be about the "best places'"to see the animals during a certain time of year. In addition to the iconic landscapes, you will have a good chance of encountering predators, and you may see lions, cheetahs and leopards. It is a truly life-changing experience. In the afternoon, you will start your journey back to Karatu, hopefully enjoying more wonders on the way!

Day 5 Lake Manyara National Park to Arusha

⏱Morning 🏨No accommodation 🍽Breakfast & lunch (Dinner not included) All drinks (Except for spirits/liquor)

After breakfast, you will drive to Lake Manyara National Park, a small but diverse park 120 km west of Arusha. Everything you'll see here is on a different scale. It is both compact (one of the narrowest parks in Africa) and epic (the Great Rift Escarpment towers over Lake Manyara's western boundary). The park's namesake is a shallow, salt lake. It covers a large area of the park, flooding and drying with the seasons and is home to thousands of wading birds (including flamingos and over 500 other bird species). You may see baboons and elephants in the park's thick evergreen forest, and look out for the tree-climbing lions that have become famous throughout Africa. You'll have a picnic lunch in the park. After your game drive, you will say farewell to your guide and will be dropped off at a place of your choosing, e.g. Arusha, Kilimanjaro Airport or Arusha Airport. We hope you have enjoyed your adventure with Josh Dreamland Safari.
