Itinerary
After landing at Kilimanjaro International Airport, you’ll be met by your private guide and driven to the tranquil Acacia Retreat Arusha—a brand-new luxury property tucked away in lush gardens just outside the city. Unwind by the pool, enjoy a gourmet dinner, and rest from your flight before the safari begins. A detailed safari briefing will be provided in the evening.
Accomodation: Acacia Retreat Arusha
Drive to Tarangire National Park, famous for its towering baobab trees and large elephant herds. Enjoy game drives through the golden savannah, where lions, giraffes, and buffalo roam freely. By afternoon, arrive at the intimate and stylish Serian Tarangire Camp. Enjoy sundowners by the riverside, followed by a chef-prepared dinner under the stars.
Accomodation: Serian Tarangire Camp
Head to the world-famous Serengeti, home to endless plains and Africa’s greatest concentration of wildlife. This two days will be spent exploring the Central Serengeti, where predator-prey action unfolds against golden grasslands. Lions lounge under acacia trees, cheetahs chase gazelles, and elephants cross the landscape in herds.
Accommodation: Naserian Safari Camp – Central Serengeti
Today we continue exploring the wonders of the Serengeti. Set off on an early morning game drive just as the sun crests over the plains—prime time for wildlife activity. With your expert guide leading the way, follow the rhythms of nature as you track big cats on the hunt, spot elephants moving in family herds, and witness the chaos of the Great Migration if it's in the area.

Accommodation: The Castle at Ngorongoro
Depart early for Lake Manyara National Park, a biodiverse oasis nestled along the base of the Great Rift Valley escarpment. The park is famed for its groundwater forest, flamingo-filled lakes, and tree-climbing lions. Enjoy a scenic game drive, perhaps spotting troops of baboons, colorful birds, and shy forest creatures.
