As you exit Kilimanjaro International Airport, your personal Ron Adventure guide greets you warmly: “Karibu Tanzania, welcome to Tanzania!” You’ll be transferred to your hotel in Arusha or nearby, where you can unwind and soak in the African atmosphere. Tomorrow, your private safari vehicle and guide will take you on a tailored adventure, allowing you to stop and watch wildlife at your own pace.

Day 2Tarangire National Park

Today, we explore Tarangire National Park, famous for its large herds of elephants and iconic baobab trees, some of which are hundreds of years old. During the dry season, the Tarangire River becomes the only water source, attracting massive elephant herds, sometimes over 250 at a time, alongside zebras, wildebeest, and other wildlife. Enjoy private game drives in your own jeep, capturing the park’s stunning landscapes and observing animals up close.

Day 3Lake Manyara National Park

Next, we head to Lake Manyara National Park, nestled along the 400-meter-deep Great Rift Valley. The park’s diverse landscapes include the soda lake covering 75% of the area, dense rainforest full of monkeys and birds, and open woodlands where elephants roam. You’ll have ample opportunity to take photos and enjoy close wildlife encounters, making this park a memorable highlight of your safari.

Day 4Ngorongoro Conservation Area & Crater

Today is a true highlight: the Ngorongoro Crater, one of Africa’s seven natural wonders. Formed two million years ago by a volcanic eruption, this fertile caldera supports the highest concentration of wildlife in Africa. Descend into the crater for game drives among lions, zebras, buffalo, and even endangered black rhinos. With thousands of animals and breathtaking vistas surrounding you, every moment is a photo opportunity you won’t forget.

Day 5Departure – Kilimanjaro International Airport

On your final day, enjoy a leisurely morning at your lodge before your transfer to Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) for your outbound flight.

Security precaution on safari.

Be sure to follow the tips for safety precautions in Tanzanian safaris, so as to have safe and enjoyable moments during your safari.

People in Tanzania are very good and polite but still you have to be careful when you are around the city center with valuable things and big camera hanging around on your neck. Never walk at night alone instead it’s better to use transport, your local guides or nearby hotel.

Make sure you record a number of your passport, airline tickets, traveler checks and credit cards and keep them in a safe place.It is extremely rare for incidents to occur and always your professional guide is there to ensure your safety. Below are the tips to ensure your safety during safaris.

Will I have a chance to interact with the local people of Tanzania?

The vast majority of Tanzanians still live a lifestyle very close to their traditional lifestyles, and most local people are subsistence farmers.

What is the food like on Tanzania Safari?

We are using 4×4 safari vehicles Toyota Landcruisers that have been designed to conquer the ever-demanding road conditions in East Africa. All vehicles have pop-up roofs that can be opened during game drives and a window seat is guaranteed for each guest

What is the Great Migration?

The Great Migration – also called the Great Wildlife Migration – is an enormous, continuous and roughly circular migration across the plains and woodlands of Tanzania and Kenya by two million wildebeests, zebras and antelopes. It’s the largest land-based migration in the world. Witnessing thousands-strong herds stretched out in front of you is a sight you never forget.

What are the Big Five?

The Big Five are lion, leopard, bush elephant, black rhino and Cape buffalo. These are the animals considered to be the hardest and most dangerous to hunt on foot.

How long do I need for safari?

This is obviously a hard question to answer. The longer you spend on safari, the more animals you’ll see, and the greater the variety you’re likely to spot. If you’re hoping to spot the Big Five, for instance, one day in all likelihood won’t cut it. But if you give yourself four to five days, you might well manage it.

What we can say is that you need to factor in driving times when heading on a safari. For instance, from Kilimanjaro International Airport (gateway to the Northern Circuit), you can reach reserves like Arusha National Park and Lake Manyara National Park within hours and go on safari that same day. But Serengeti National Park, fon the other hand, is quite a drive, so you should factor in a day of travel each way. Fortunately, the drive to Serengeti takes you past Ngorongoro Crater, which is a MUST, as well as some other attractions worth a visit like Olduvai Gorge.

Please chat to us for advice on how long is needed based on what you want to see.

When is the best time to visit the Serengeti

Everyone has his priorities and things they want to see some people want to see baby animals being born, for instance, while others want to see as many animals as possible. Still others want good birdspotting, some want to see flowers, and some want to see the animals in a lush setting. And of course, many want to see the Great Wildlife Migration and its chaotic river crossings. Please read Best Time to Visit the Serengeti to identify the best months for each of the above-mentioned highlights. Also, feel free to chat with us so we can advise you.

“Our family of four had the best safari experience with Ron Adventure. Tarangire’s elephant herds and Lake Manyara’s flamingos amazed our kids. The private vehicle and guide gave us freedom to stop for photos and enjoy the wildlife without rushing. Comfortable lodges and thoughtful service made this trip truly memorable.”

“I had the most incredible 5-day safari with Ron Adventure! From the moment we landed at the Serengeti airstrip, our private guide made everything seamless and personalized. We saw lions, elephants, giraffes, and even black rhinos in Ngorongoro Crater, it was surreal. Tarangire’s baobab trees and Lake Manyara’s flamingos were breathtaking. The accommodations were comfortable and perfectly located near the parks. Traveling at our own pace with a dedicated vehicle made all the difference. I can’t recommend Ron Adventure enough for anyone wanting a truly authentic Tanzania safari!”
