Day 1
Arrival for Your Overnight in Arusha
Upon your arrival at Kilimanjaro Airport, you will be welcomed by a Meru Slopes transfer driver and taken to Arusha Planet Lodge within Arusha.

Day 2
Arusha to Tarangire National Park
After early breakfast, proceed for a full-day game drive at Tarangire National Park with picnic lunches. Dinner and your overnight stay are at Ngorongoro Marera View Lodge.
It’s the national park where herds of up to 300 elephants scrape the waterless river bed for alternative streams, while nomadic wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, impala, gazelle, hartebeest and eland mass the decrease lagoons. It has the most concentration of wildlife outside the Serengeti ecosystem—a smorgasbord for predators—and one place in Tanzania where dry-country antelope such as the stately fringe-eared oryx and peculiar long-necked gerenuk are regularly seen. It is the only national park that holds migrants during the dry season and provides a welcoming home to different species of animals.
Day 3 : Day 3 Tarangire National Park to Serengeti National Park
Day 3
Tarangire National Park to Serengeti National Park
After breakfast, you will continue towards the fertile highlands where wheat, coffee and corn are grown by the Iraqw people. You'll pass through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, a crater of unimaginable beauty created some three million years ago with the explosion of a volcano. You will be able to see the breathtaking expanse of the Ngorongoro Caldera before travelling onwards to the Serengeti National Park. Serenget means 'endless plain' in Maa, the tongue of the Maasai. You will reach Serengeti by late evening. The Serengeti National Park is the largest park in Tanzania with diverse landscapes and habitats, such as grassy plains, swamps, lakes, savannahs and mountains. Here, the biggest wildebeest and zebra migration takes place and depending on the season, you may have the opportunity to witness thousands of animals in their search for food and water.
After an extensive game drive, you will drive to Heritage tented lodge where you will enjoy dinner and an overnight stay.

The animals roam freely through the unfenced reserves, offering you an uninterrupted game-viewing experience. Arriving at the edge of the crater, you will have your first glimpse of what awaits you the following day—glistening streams, open grassland and an infinite amount of animals. You will spend the night at Rhino lodge directly on the crater’s edge with the orange glow of sunset surrounding you as you drift off to sleep.

This UNESCO World Heritage Site is one of the Seven Wonders of Africa and the most incredible ecosystems on Earth. It was formed millions of years ago in the massive explosion of a volcano. It is 610m deep and covers roughly around 260sq km. Due to its dense animal population of approximately 25 000, the crater offers the best game viewing of all the parks in Tanzania. In a matter of minutes, you will be able to see wildebeests, zebras, gazelles, elephants and some of the more than 500 bird species in the area. With a little bit of luck, you might catch a glimpse of the endangered black rhino through the grass.
