Itinerary

After an early breakfast in Arusha, your guide will pick you up and drive to Tarangire National Park, about a two-hour journey. Tarangire is famous for its large elephant herds, giant baobab trees, and beautiful landscapes. Enjoy a full-day game drive with chances to see elephants, lions, leopards, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, buffaloes, impalas, and many bird species. Stop for a picnic lunch inside the park before continuing your wildlife safari. In the late afternoon, drive to your public campsite for dinner and an overnight stay surrounded by nature.

After breakfast, depart Tarangire and travel through the scenic Ngorongoro Conservation Area on your way to the world-famous Serengeti National Park. Enjoy spectacular views of the highlands along the route before entering the endless plains of Central Serengeti. After lunch, begin your afternoon game drive where you may spot lions, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes, hyenas, and large herds of wildebeests and zebras. Arrive at your campsite before sunset for dinner and an overnight stay in the heart of the Serengeti.

Spend the entire day exploring Central Serengeti, one of the best wildlife viewing areas in Africa. This region is well known for its resident wildlife throughout the year and offers excellent opportunities to spot the Big Five. Visit the Seronera Valley, where predators such as lions, leopards, and cheetahs are often seen hunting. Enjoy a picnic lunch at a scenic location before continuing your afternoon game drive. Return to camp in the evening for dinner and another overnight stay under the African sky.

After breakfast, continue your safari as you travel north through the Serengeti. Enjoy a game drive along the way while searching for elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, antelopes, and big cats. Depending on the season, you may witness the Great Wildebeest Migration crossing through Northern Serengeti near the Mara River, one of Africa's most spectacular wildlife events. Arrive at your campsite in Northern Serengeti for dinner and an overnight stay.

Enjoy a full day exploring Northern Serengeti, one of Tanzania's most remote and rewarding safari destinations. This area is home to abundant wildlife and offers excellent opportunities to witness the Mara River crossings during the migration season. Throughout the day, search for crocodiles, hippos, lions, leopards, elephants, hyenas, and countless grazing animals. Stop for a picnic lunch before continuing your afternoon game drive. Return to camp in the evening for dinner and another peaceful night in the wilderness.

After breakfast, enjoy a final morning game drive as you leave Northern Serengeti and begin your journey south toward the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Along the way, continue searching for wildlife while enjoying the changing landscapes of the Serengeti ecosystem. Arrive at the Ngorongoro Crater rim in the late afternoon, where you will enjoy breathtaking views of the world's largest intact volcanic caldera. Dinner and overnight will be at a public campsite on the crater rim.

Start the day with an early descent into the Ngorongoro Crater for an unforgettable game drive. The crater is one of the best places in Tanzania to see the Big Five, including the endangered black rhino. You may also spot lions, elephants, hippos, zebras, wildebeests, hyenas, flamingos, and many other bird species. After enjoying a picnic lunch near the hippo pool, ascend the crater and begin the drive back to Arusha, arriving in the late afternoon where your memorable 7-day Tanzania camping safari comes to an end.
