Tour Plan
Our safari guide will pick you up at Hotel to Abeid Aman Karume International Airport to Kilimanjaro International Airport or Arusha Airport and transfer you to your hotel in Arusha. You will relax for the rest of the day at the hotel and have your overnight stay. Then, we are ready to take you on the Arusha city tour to explore this beautiful city.
After breakfast, we start a beautiful game drive to Tarangire National while carrying lunch boxes.
Tarangire National Park is well known for its large elephant herds. The park comprises various landscapes, from seasonal swamps to savanna, with the Tarangire River winding its way through the parklands. We may have the experience of seeing a lion stalking its prey or leopards observing their surroundings from the trees above. Once all the game drives are complete, we drive to your lodge for relaxation, dinner, and overnight.
After breakfast, depart to Ngorongoro Conservation Area for a game drive inside Ngorongoro Crater while carrying lunch boxes. Later transfer to Serengeti National Park for your overnight stay.
The Ngorongoro Conservation Area is the world's largest uninterrupted caldera and one of Africa's natural wonders. There are about 30,000 large mammals resident all year round (such as buffaloes, lions, elephants, cheetahs, and rhinos) and a wide variety of birds (such as flamingos, eagles, buzzards). So be ready to see many animals within a short period.
You will wake up early and enjoy a magical game drive in Serengeti National Park before you depart in the afternoon to Karatu. Your accommodation for the night is near the Ngorongoro Crater. The following morning early, you will descend into the crater to see animals as the animals are more active in the morning.
Serengeti National Park is well-known for its great migrating herds of zebra, antelope, and wildebeest. However, be ready to see resident predators such as leopards, cheetahs, and lions fulfilling their role in the circle of life.
After breakfast, depart for Lake Manyara National Park on a game drive while carrying lunch boxes. Later, we will drive you back to Zanzibar, where the safari ends.

When Is the Best Time to Visit the Serengeti?
The Serengeti is a year-round destination, but the best time to visit depends on what you want to experience.
June to October (Dry Season)
This is the most popular time to visit. Wildlife is easier to spot as animals gather around water sources, and the weather is dry and pleasant. It’s an excellent period for classic game viewing and predator action.
July to September – Great Migration River Crossings
This is the peak season to witness the dramatic wildebeest river crossings in the northern Serengeti. It’s one of Africa’s most iconic safari experiences.
January to March – Calving Season
Located mainly in the southern Serengeti and Ndutu area, this period is perfect for seeing thousands of wildebeest calves being born. Predator sightings are very common during this time.
November to May (Green Season)
The landscape is lush and beautiful, birdlife is at its best, and there are fewer tourists. Short rains usually fall in November and December, while April and May can be wetter.
In summary:
The best month depends on your interests—July to September for the Great Migration, January to March for calving season, and June to October for excellent all-round wildlife viewing.
