Detailed Itinerary
Day 1: Arrival at JRO – Transfer to Arusha
You will be met by your driver guide at Kilimanjaro International airport and transfer to your first hotel in Arusha. On the way you will encounter many things, a great opportunity for learning and discovery. If you notice something interesting or want to learn more about something you observe along the road, don’t hesitate to ask your driver guide to stop the car for you to come close and learn more. You will get to the lodge in good time for check in and rest a bit before dinner.
Overnight: Pazuri Inn
Day 2: Tarangire National Park
Equipped with your picnic lunch, after breakfast you will drive to Tanzania’s elephant’s headquarters, Tarangire National Park. The morning and afternoon are yours to explore the imposing National Park.
You will have lunch in one of the picnic sites and proceed with game drive in other areas of the park. Big game viewing is absolutely rewarding here as you have uncountable animals to search for from giraffes, hippos, buffaloes, zebras, wildebeests to lions.
Tarangire River, the main source of water in the park, tends to draw a lot of wildlife. While you may have an opportunity to see leopards, cheetahs and hyenas, this is a game of chance since they are rare in the park. After game drive, you will head to the lodge in Karatu for dinner and overnight.
Overnight: Eileens Trees Inn
Day 3: Game enroute to Serengeti National Park
After an early breakfast you will depart the lodge at 7:30 to Serengeti National Park with game enroute. Along the way we’ll pass through the rainforests of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area where you might be lucky enough to encounter wild animals like baboon, vervet monkeys, warthogs and buffalo.
As you enter Serengeti you will witness Africa’s iconic savannah landscape and sheer number of ungulates roaming the grassy plains of the park. You will drive straight to the camp for checking in and have lunch. After lunch you will go for an afternoon game drive in the park.

If you will be interested, you can take the opportunity to do optional balloon safari, which concludes with a champagne breakfast in the midst of the grasslands.
Get to see the Serengeti “Kopjes” which are massive boulders of granite standing in a sea of grass which provide shelter to a large variety of flora and fauna.
