Day by Day

Day 1 Arusha to Tarangire National Park

⏱Morning 🏨Budget camping Outside Tarangire NP 🍽Lunch & dinner (Breakfast not included) Non-alcoholic drinks

We will pick you up from your hotel and after meeting the guide, chef and the other clients, we will drive to Tarangire National Park (2-hrs drive), which is famous for its diverse landscape. The park is particularly known for its abundance of ancient baobab trees and having the largest concentration of elephants in the whole country. It provides unique chances to observe the interaction between elephant families. We will do a game drive through the park depending on where they have reported sightings of animals (mostly predators, lions, cheetahs and leopards - as they are harder to spot). The herbivores like giraffes, wildebeests, zebras, etc. are plenty to see throughout the park. After lunch, we will proceed with the game drive and exit the park at around 4:30 pm when we will head to our campsite accommodation for dinner and sleep.

Day 2 Mto wa mbu to Serengeti National Park

⏱Morning 🏨Budget camping Inside Serengeti NP 🍽All meals included All drinks (Except for spirits/liquor)

After breakfast, you will drive from Mto wa Mbu to Serengeti which takes about 6 hours (including all stops) as it transits through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. We'll stop at the Ngorongoro Crater in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Arusha region and will also have a brief stop at the gate and viewpoint to look at the breathtaking view of the crater (20 minutes). Go on an optional visit to a Maasai village to visit and explore the culture of the great Maasai community known for hunting and killing lions to be considered a warrior, and drinking raw animal blood. These traditions, though, are a thing of the past. Arrive in the late afternoon and do a game drive in Seronera (centre of Serengeti) until the late evening. Experience the sunset in Serengeti while having a close view of wild animals. If you're lucky, you may see a predator hunting or on a kill. Later, head to the Seronera Campsite meal.

Day 3 Serengeti National to Ngorongoro

⏱Morning 🏨Budget camping Inside Serengeti NP 🍽All meals included All drinks (Except for spirits/liquor)

After an early breakfast, we will go on a morning game drive to spot the many animals. In the afternoon, we will head to the camp for lunch and to pack. We'll do a game drive while we exit the Serengeti. We'll head to Simba Campsite (2-hr drive) which is located near the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater. You'll be able to spot animals from the campsite.

Day 4 Ngorongoro Crater

⏱Morning 🏨Budget camping Outside Ngorongoro Crater 🍽All meals included All drinks (Except for spirits/liquor)

After an early breakfast, we will descend the crater on a journey to find the black rhino. Rhinos are the hardest animals to spot in the beautiful crater due to it being a floor crater. After lunch, we will do a game drive and then ascend the crater to return to the camp. We'll pack for the trip to Camp near Lake Manyara National Park.

Day 5 Lake Manyara to Arusha

⏱Morning 🏨Serengeti Villa Budget guest house located in Arusha (City) 🍽Breakfast & lunch (Dinner not included) All drinks (Except for spirits/liquor)

After breakfast, we will go to Lake Manyara National Park. We will do a game drive viewing plenty of birds. If you're lucky, you will spot the famous tree-climbing lions. Visit the hippo pool for a close look at the hippos as well as the hot springs. While doing the game drive, you'll view plenty of animals like buffaloes, wildebeests, warthogs, vultures, eagles, monkeys, etc.

Day 6 Materuni Waterfalls & Coffee Tour

⏱Morning 🏨No accommodation 🍽Breakfast & lunch (Dinner not included) Non-alcoholic drinks

Today, you will visit the majestic waterfalls. Along the way, your guide will share fascinating insights about the Chagga people, their village life, and the surrounding fauna and flora. The views are truly breathtaking, and with some luck, you might catch a glimpse of the Kilimanjaro summit. Upon reaching the waterfalls, you'll be amazed by their height, over 80 meters tall. The pool at the base is perfect for a refreshing swim, so don't forget your swimwear! After enjoying the stunning scenery, you'll return with your guide to Materuni village, where a traditional Chagga lunch awaits. You'll also have the chance to taste the local banana beer, an experience not to be missed! The coffee tour is a highlight, traditionally accompanied by Chagga songs and dances, offering a fun and immersive cultural experience. Before you say goodbye, you can savor the coffee you made while appreciating the views of the surrounding rainforest.
