Depending on your arrival time, you may explore the bustling Arusha city, visit the local Maasai market, or simply unwind and prepare for your upcoming wildlife safari adventure.
After breakfast, depart from Arusha at around 8:00 AM and begin your exciting journey to Tarangire National Park, one of the highlights of the northern Tanzania safari circuit. This park is especially popular on Tanzania budget safaris and group joining safaris for its stunning scenery and high wildlife concentration. As you drive through the park, you’ll be greeted by the sight of giant baobab trees, open grasslands, and the winding Tarangire River, which becomes a vital water source during the dry season.
Tarangire National Park is most famous for its massive elephant herds, sometimes seen gathering in groups of 50 or more.

Keep your eyes open for the legendary Big Five—lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and the elusive black rhino—as well as large herds of wildebeest, zebras, gazelles, and more. Depending on the season, you might even witness part of the Great Wildebeest Migration, one of nature’s most spectacular events.
Stop in the heart of the bush for a freshly packed picnic lunch, surrounded by the sights and sounds of the African savannah. In the afternoon, continue your game drive through different parts of the central Serengeti, such as the Seronera Valley, which is known for its year-round water supply and frequent predator sightings.

Whether it’s spotting a cheetah on the hunt or watching elephants gather near a watering hole, this full day in Serengeti promises to be a highlight of your Tanzania safari adventure.
After an early morning game drive, as you exit the Serengeti National Park, continue your journey into the world-renowned Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Descend into the majestic Ngorongoro Crater, the largest intact volcanic caldera on Earth and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This natural wonder is one of the best places in Africa to spot the Big Five—black rhinos, lions, elephants, buffaloes, and leopards—alongside other incredible wildlife such as hippos, flamingos, hyenas, and zebras.
Enjoy a half-day game drive on the crater floor, where grassy plains, freshwater lakes, and acacia woodlands create a rich habitat for thousands of animals. Stop for a scenic picnic lunch at the hippo pool picnic site, surrounded by stunning views and wildlife close-up experiences.
Later in the afternoon, ascend from the crater and drive to the nearby town of Karatu, located on the fertile slopes of the Ngorongoro Highlands. Here, you’ll check into a comfortable budget lodge, perfect for relaxing after a full day of adventure in one of Tanzania’s most iconic safari destinations.
This day offers the ultimate Tanzania wildlife safari experience, combining unmatched landscapes with high chances of wildlife sightings, all as part of an affordable group joining safari.

The landscape transitions beautifully from lush groundwater forests and acacia woodlands to open grasslands and the sparkling lake itself.

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.
Always follow your guide’s instructions and guidelines.
Stay in the car during game drives except at designated areas where you are allowed to get out of the car.
Never walk off far to a bush it’s better to ask for advice from your guide about where to go
Don’t stand up in the car, hang out of the window or sit on the roof.
Don’t drive too close to animals if you are on a self-drive safari.
Stay close to your guide and group on a walking safari and always walk in single file.
Watch where you put your feet while walking in the bush.

The vast majority of Tanzanians still live a lifestyle very close to their traditional lifestyles, and most local people are subsistence farmers.
The food depends on what kind of hotels and lodges you stay in, it can either be a 4-star or a 3-star quality. There are various lodges or tented camps that provide the best meals and food for your Tanzania safar
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
