Full Itinerary

Day 0: Welcome to Tanzania – Kilimanjaro International Airport to Arusha

Your journey begins with a warm welcome as you land at Kilimanjaro International Airport. Upon arrival, a professional KiliClimb Africa Safaris representative will greet you with a personal signboard and assist with your luggage. Enjoy a scenic drive (approximately 1.5 hours) to Gran Meliá Arusha, your luxurious base nestled at the foothills of Mount Meru.

After check-in, unwind in your elegant room or explore the beautifully manicured gardens and rooftop lounge with sweeping views of the surrounding landscapes. In the evening, you’ll meet with one of our safari experts for a relaxed pre-safari briefing over a refreshing welcome drink. The staff will ensure you’re well-prepared for the adventure ahead, covering everything from wildlife sightings to photography tips. Dinner is served at the hotel’s fine-dining restaurant, followed by a restful overnight stay in Arusha.

Accommodation: Gran Meliá Arusha (Deluxe Room, Half Board)

Day 1: Arusha to Tarangire National Park – The Elephant Playground

After a gourmet breakfast at Gran Meliá, your private safari guide will collect you at 6:30 AM for a journey southwest to Tarangire National Park (approx. 2.5–3 hours). As you drive through the Maasai steppe and past local villages, you’ll start to sense the rhythm of the wild calling you.

Upon entering Tarangire, the scenery shifts dramatically—welcome to the “Land of Giants.” This park is famous for its enormous elephant herds, ancient baobab trees, and sweeping savannahs. Game drives begin immediately, and you’ll soon find yourself surrounded by zebras, wildebeest, giraffes, buffalo, and—if lucky—a stealthy leopard or a cheetah on the prowl.

Tarangire is particularly magical due to its seasonal river, which attracts incredible concentrations of animals, especially during the dry months. Keep your camera ready for unusual sightings like the iridescent agama lizard or the peculiar rock hyrax—a tiny mammal closely related to elephants. The lilac-breasted roller, arguably Africa’s most photogenic bird, might also make an appearance.

You’ll enjoy a picnic lunch at a scenic lookout point inside the park, with sweeping views of the Tarangire River valley. The afternoon game drive continues through forests of acacia and sausage trees, stopping often for animal encounters and unforgettable photo moments. After a full day of wildlife immersion, you’ll exit the park and drive toward the Ngorongoro Highlands, arriving in the tranquil town of Karatu.

Check in at the stunning Lake Manyara Kilima Moja Lodge, where you’ll be greeted with cool towels and a refreshing drink. Relax by the fireplace, sip a cocktail, and watch the sun set behind the escarpment.

Accommodation: Lake Manyara Kilima Moja Lodge (Luxury Suite)
Meals: Full Board (Breakfast, Picnic Lunch, Dinner)

Day 2: Ngorongoro Crater Exploration – A Lost World of Wildlife

Rise early for breakfast as a magical day awaits. Today, you’ll descend 600 meters into the UNESCO World Heritage Site known as the Ngorongoro Crater, the world’s largest unbroken volcanic caldera and a sanctuary for Africa’s densest concentration of wildlife.

Your descent into this natural amphitheater begins just after sunrise. As the mist clears, you’ll be greeted by a surreal landscape—lush green plains, shimmering lakes, and acacia woodland teeming with life. The crater hosts over 25,000 animals, including all members of the Big Five: lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and the elusive black rhino.

Your expert guide will skillfully navigate the crater floor, stopping at key wildlife zones. Watch as male elephants, nearing the end of their lives, feed near the swamplands known as the “elephant graveyard.” See lions sunning themselves on the open plains, and perhaps a rhino grazing quietly in the distance—a rare and treasured sight.

The game viewing is unparalleled, with abundant populations of wildebeest, zebras, hyenas, jackals, gazelles, elands, and hippos in the freshwater pools. Keep an eye out for golden jackals and serval cats, and marvel at the colorful birdlife, including flamingos that often grace the alkaline waters of Lake Magadi on the crater floor.

Enjoy a hot picnic lunch in a shaded crater picnic site surrounded by the sounds of nature. After lunch, you’ll ascend the crater walls and make your way back to Arusha via a 4-hour scenic drive. Upon arrival, you’ll be dropped off at, Arusha Airport or Kilimanjaro International Airport if you’re flying out.

Accommodation: Optional (can be arranged upon request)
