Itinerary:

DAY 1: MOSHI – TARANGIRE NATIONAL PARK

We depart from Moshi in the morning and drive to Tarangire National park. Tarangire is famous for its herds of Elephants and ancient Baobab trees. This park is also well known for its high concentration of game and fantastic bird life. Other animals to be spotted include leopards, giraffes, zebras, lions, etc. We enjoy a game drive until late afternoon and then drive to Mto-wa-Mbu. Overnight at the accommodation of your category of choice (camping/simple lodge/standard lodge).

DAY 2: SOUTHEASTERN SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK

We depart after breakfast to Serengeti via the Ngorongoro conservation area where we have a picnic lunch. We arrive for an afternoon game drive on the southeastern side of Serengeti, entering the park through Naabi Gate. Serengeti offers the most enthralling game-viewing in Africa: great herds of buffalo and wildebeests, groups of elephant and giraffes, eland, impala and Grant’s gazelle, lions, leopards and many others. Dinner and overnight stay at the accommodation of your category of choice.

DAY 3: SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK

We experience a spectacular early morning sunrise in Serengeti, if the weather allows, and have breakfast. After breakfast, we leave the camp with your picnic lunch to another game drive, looking for more lions, leopards, cheetah, zebras, wildebeest, gazelles and hyenas till afternoon and then drive to the Ngorongoro conservation area. Overnight at the accommodation of your category of choice (Please note that in case you book the SIMPLE LODGE option, this night is spent CAMPING as there is no accommodation of simple lodge standard in the area. This is already reflected in the SIMPLE LODGE accommodation plan rate).

DAY 4: NGORONGORO CRATER

After breakfast, with picnic lunch packed, we depart for a game drive to the Ngorongoro crater. A real life Eden, you will be amazed by its abundant wildlife that get very close to the vehicle. The crater floor supports more than 25000 large mammals including the remaining Black Rhinos, Zebras, Gnus, Gazelles, Buffalos, Lions, Hippos, Elephants, Elands, Hyenas and a number of aquatic birds. We explore the crater till late afternoon and drive back to Moshi.

Upgrade: Hot Air Balloon Safari in the Serengeti instead of the early morning game drive.

Balloon Safari in the Serengeti

This upgrade replaces your early morning game drive in the Serengeti. At around 5:30am you will be driven to the launch site, just as the sky begins to glow with the first light of day. After a safety briefing from your experienced pilot, watch in awe as the balloon is inflated—its vast envelope glowing in shades of savannah gold and acacia green, illuminated by the flames of the burners.

Then it’s time to climb into the basket and lift gently into the African sunrise. Carried by the wind, each flight is unique—there is no fixed route, only the thrill of discovery. Glide low over the plains, brushing the tops of the grass, or rise higher to take in breathtaking panoramic views of the horizon painted in gold and pink.

Your skilled pilot not only guides the balloon but also shares insights into the wildlife and landscapes below, bringing the Serengeti to life from a truly extraordinary perspective.

After approximately one hour in the air, you’ll return to the plains—but the experience continues. Celebrate your flight with a glass of bubbly, followed by a freshly prepared bush breakfast under the acacia trees. Enjoy tropical fruits, warm bread baked that morning, and eggs cooked on-site—made even more special by the stunning surroundings.

Your safari guide will then meet you, and the journey continues with game viewing in the Serengeti before heading on to Ngorongoro for your final night.

An experience of a lifetime—where every moment is shaped by nature, and every view is unforgettable.
