    3. Big Five in the Ngorongoro Crater
    Descend into the world’s largest intact caldera, where rhinos graze, lions stalk, and herds of wildebeest and zebra paint the plains.

    5. Guided by Passionate Experts
    Our driver-guides are not just drivers—they’re skilled trackers, storytellers, and conservation advocates who turn your safari into a learning journey.

    Best Time to Travel

    The dry season from June to October is perfect for wildlife viewing—animals gather around waterholes and grass is low, making sightings easier.

    The green season from November to May offers lush scenery, fewer crowds, and excellent birdwatching, especially from January to March when calving draws predators.

TRIP DETAILS

The best Safaris in Africa

Your journey begins the moment you arrive at Kilimanjaro International Airport, where you’ll be greeted by your personal safari guide. After a warm welcome, you’ll be transferred to your lodge in Arusha. Surrounded by the lush landscapes of northern Tanzania, this is the perfect place to relax and prepare for the adventure ahead.

After breakfast, your safari officially begins as you set out for Tarangire National Park. Known for its immense elephant herds and iconic baobab-dotted landscapes, Tarangire offers an authentic first taste of the wild. You’ll spend the day on game drives along the Tarangire River, where lions, giraffes, and buffalo gather to drink, and the birdlife is vibrant and varied. As the sun sets, you’ll head to your tented lodge for an evening of comfort under the African sky.

The adventure continues with a drive to Lake Manyara National Park, a small but ecologically diverse reserve nestled at the base of the Great Rift Valley escarpment. The park is famous for its tree-climbing lions, hippo-filled lagoons, and dazzling flocks of flamingos. You’ll explore its lush groundwater forest, open savannah, and lakeshore on a game drive before retiring to your lodge perched above the escarpment for sweeping views and a restful night.

Enjoy a picnic lunch on the crater floor before returning to your lodge for a final evening immersed in nature.
