Day 1

Arusha

You've been dreaming of your Tanzanian safari for so long and the day when it begins has finally arrived. We'll greet you, give you a quick rundown on what happens next and answer your questions. Then we'll take you out to discover what this incredible country has to offer.

You'll spend some time in Arusha, where there's always something happening. The endlessly busy streets are a fascinating performance in their own right, but the city also has clamorous markets, excellent museums and a fun food scene. Best of all, it's a window on local life that you just can't get out in the safari parks.

Arusha Planet Lodge

Lodge

You shouldn't need earplugs at Arusha Planet Lodge even though you're in the busy city of Arusha, the location in the quieter streets east of the center means noise is rarely an issue. The rooms have plenty of space and color, and most balconies look out over the leafy grounds. Enjoy a local meal in the restaurant and a cocktail in the bar.

Day 2

Tarangire National Park

Wherever you go in Tarangire National Park, you’ll come across the park’s famous and larger-than-life baobab trees and elephants. These are the twin elements that give this park so much personality. There is, of course, so much more. We don’t just mean the huge populations of wildebeest, giraffes, hippos, buffaloes, baboons, vervet monkeys and zebras. Or the rugged landscape of rocky hills and rivers, swamps and savannah plains. You also have an excellent chance of seeing lions here – Tarangire is a real lion stronghold – and keep an eye out for leopards and cheetahs as well.

Good wildlife populations, luxury tents, a dining and campfire area, and even a massage tent, are all highlights.

Meal Plan Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner

Day 3

Ngorongoro Crater

In the busy provincial town of Karatu, with its constant stream of passing tourist traffic, the many places to stay mean you can rest from life on the road here. It’s big enough to have banks, shops (for both supplies and souvenirs) and a few roadside restaurants where locals eat.

Ngorongoro Crater

Day 4

Ndutu

When you explore Ndutu, you'll feel like you're getting all that the Serengeti has to offer, but there will be far fewer vehicles to block your view. This is one of northern Tanzania's best-kept secrets, easily accessible from both the Serengeti and Ngorongoro, and yet nicely off the main road between these more popular destinations. Ndutu is particularly good for wildlife when the great migration passes through, but there are plenty of animals to see here, framed against the vast horizon, at any time of the year. It's especially good for big cats, including tree-climbing lions.
