Full Itinerary
Day 1: Arrival, Transfer to Tarangire National Park – The Elephant Sanctuary
Your adventure begins the moment you arrive at Kilimanjaro International Airport, where our dedicated KiliClimb Africa Safaris representative warmly welcomes you. From here, you’ll be transferred to the serene comfort of your hotel in Arusha for a brief orientation and restful night at the elegant Grand Melia Lodge.
Early the next morning, after a sumptuous breakfast at your lodge, your private driver-guide will collect you promptly at 6:00 am. The journey to Tarangire National Park—a roughly two-hour scenic drive—will introduce you to the captivating Tanzanian landscape, from rolling hills to expansive savannahs dotted with iconic acacia trees.
Tarangire is famously known as the “Elephant Playground,” home to one of the largest concentrations of African elephants in Tanzania. As you embark on your game drive through this magnificent park, prepare to be mesmerized by the diverse wildlife array: majestic elephants gracefully roaming, towering giraffes nibbling from acacia branches, and large herds of zebras and wildebeests grazing side by side.
The park’s giant baobab trees—some estimated to be thousands of years old—create a surreal backdrop, perfect for those unforgettable photographs. Along the way, your guide will point out fascinating creatures such as the color-changing agama lizard, the hyrax (“Pimbi”), and the iconic secretary bird strutting elegantly through the grasslands.
As midday approaches, enjoy a gourmet picnic lunch surrounded by the sounds of the wilderness before resuming your explorations. You might catch sight of elusive predators such as lions resting under shady trees or, if fortune smiles upon you, a glimpse of the rare cheetah or kudu.
In the late afternoon, depart Tarangire for Karatu, nestled in the scenic Ngorongoro highlands. Here, your stay at the exquisite Ngorongoro Lions Paw Lodge offers luxurious comfort with spectacular views and an intimate connection to nature. Unwind with a fine dinner as you reflect on your first day’s adventure, preparing for the wonders to come.
Day 2: Karatu to Serengeti National Park – Witness the Wild Heart of Tanzania
After a delicious breakfast with panoramic views of the highlands, set off early towards the world-renowned Serengeti National Park, a journey of approximately 3.5 hours that includes a scenic drive through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.
The Serengeti, Tanzania’s oldest and most celebrated ecosystem, offers an unparalleled wildlife spectacle. Its seemingly endless plains and acacia-studded landscapes serve as the stage for one of nature’s greatest dramas—the circle of life. Here, hundreds of thousands of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles migrate in an ancient pattern, pursued by apex predators like lions, cheetahs, and leopards.
Your afternoon game drive begins as you enter the Serengeti, guided by your expert tracker who will help you spot the Big Five and many other fascinating species. The richness of the wildlife here is extraordinary—lion prides basking in the afternoon sun, leopards lounging high in acacia trees, graceful giraffes nibbling on treetops, and herds of elephants moving majestically across the plains.
The quality of light in the Serengeti, especially in the late afternoon, is magical—golden hues illuminate the endless savannah, perfect for photographers and nature lovers alike. After a fulfilling day in the wild, retreat to the luxurious Kubukubu Tented Lodge, where you will be enveloped in comfort and the sounds of the African night. Savor a gourmet dinner and a restful night under canvas, blending adventure with elegance.
Day 3: Serengeti Morning Game Drive and Journey to Ngorongoro Highlands
Rise early to greet the dawn with a refreshing breakfast before setting out for a morning game drive in the heart of the Serengeti’s Seronera region, known as the wildlife hotspot of the park. This area benefits from the perennial Seronera River, creating lush environments that sustain a permanent population of wildlife.
During this game drive, expect close encounters with lions stalking their prey, elephants bathing in waterholes, and hippos lounging in river pools. The Serengeti’s incredible biodiversity means that you will witness a tapestry of animal interactions—from cheetahs sprinting across the plains to colorful birds flitting among the acacia branches.
For those interested, a brief visit to the Serengeti Visitor Centre can be arranged, offering fascinating insights into the park’s ecology, history, and conservation efforts spearheaded by legendary figures like Bernhard Grzimek and the Frankfurt Zoological Society.
After a sumptuous lunch at your lodge, begin the journey back towards the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, arriving in time to settle into the stunning Marera Mountain View Lodge. The lodge offers breathtaking views over the highlands, allowing you to soak in the tranquility and beauty of this volcanic region. Enjoy a sumptuous dinner and a restful night, preparing for your final day of wildlife discovery.
Day 4: Ngorongoro Crater Exploration and Return to Arusha
Start your day before sunrise with a hearty breakfast to fuel up for one of the most extraordinary wildlife experiences on the continent—the Ngorongoro Crater. Descend into this vast volcanic caldera, often described as the “Eighth Wonder of the World,” boasting the highest concentration of wildlife in Africa.
The crater floor is a lush sanctuary supporting an astonishing diversity of animals: approximately 25,000 large mammals including nearly 9,000 zebra, 15,000 wildebeests, 120 lions, and rare black rhinos. Hippos wallow in the crater’s lakes, while graceful elands and elusive servals roam the grasslands. The wetlands attract flocks of flamingos, creating spectacular splashes of pink amidst the greenery.
Your guided game drive takes you through varied habitats—open grasslands, dense forested areas, and serene swamps—each offering different wildlife viewing opportunities. Listen as your guide shares captivating stories about the “elephant graveyard” and the intricate relationships between species within this unique ecosystem.
After a memorable morning in this natural amphitheater, enjoy a picnic lunch with stunning views before ascending the crater rim. The journey back to Arusha takes approximately four hours, during which you can relax and reflect on the extraordinary memories created.
Your safari concludes with a drop-off at your hotel or Kilimanjaro International Airport, where you will bid farewell to Tanzania, carrying the magic of your Pelicans Tanzania Luxury Safari forever in your heart.
