Day 1 : Arrival To Tanzania

Location: Kilimanjaro International Airport

Accommodation: Hotel

Accommodation Name: Arusha planet lodge

On arrival in Tanzania, we will transfer roughly 1 hour to your hotel in Arusha. You`ll have a short time to freshen up, and then have a briefing.

Your guide will give you a briefing and ensure that you have all the gear/kits required for the trip. If you are missing essential equipment it can be rented or bought for very cheap prices.

Day 2 : Arusha Town To Tarangire National Park To Karatu Town

Location: Country Lodge Karatu, Tarangire National Park

Accommodation: Lodge, LodgeCountry Lodge Karatu

Accommodation Name: Country Lodge Karatu

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Beers & Wines Available At Additional Cost

After a short briefing in the morning, you will be taken to the Tarangire National Park. The park with its endless tree savannah including the impressive baobab trees and seasonal marshes, is also home to the largest elephant herds in northern Tanzania. In addition to elephants you are also likely to spot giraffes, buffaloes, lions, zebras, gnus and other types of antelopes and gazelles.

Upon arrival at the park, your guide will open the roof of the vehicle and the extensive wildlife viewing will begin. Lunch will be taken at a picnic spot and in the late afternoon you will go to the lodge in Karatu.

Day 3 : Karatu Area – Serengeti National Park

Location: Ngorongoro Crater ViewPoint, Serengeti National Park

Accommodation: Camp

Accommodation Name: Embalakai aithentic tented camp

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

After breakfast you travel through a Rift Valley landscape and into the cooler climate of the crater highlands. You have lunch on the way and make time to stop and gaze down into the giant Ngorongoro Crater from a viewing platform; you will be coming back to explore Ngorongoro properly later but first you have one of Africa’s greatest wildlife reserves before you: the Serengeti.

The Serengeti is an excellent year-round destination for wildlife but it is when the Wildebeest Migration arrives from about November to June that you can expect some of its most iconic imagery. Your full day here is spent out on the Serengeti, taking advantage of your game-rich location and expert guide to enjoy amazing game sightings and plenty to talk about around the campfire later.

Day 4 : Full Day Serengeti National Park

Location: Serengeti National Park

Accommodation: Camp

Accommodation Name: Embalakai authentic tented camp

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Following breakfast, you will spend the whole day on a game drive in the Serengeti National Park and have lunch at a picnic spot en-route. Depending upon the time of year, you might even have the chance to witness the great migration with hundred thousands of wildebeests, zebras and Thompson gazelles. During the small rainy season in October and November, you will typically see these herds moving from the Kenyan Masai Mara through the northwest of the Serengeti to the plains in the south. After the great rainy season in April, May and June, the herds slowly travel back through the western and north-western part of the Serengeti. With fluctuations in rainfall, this timetable can of course change, resulting in the animals migrating during different times and routes. Your guide will try his outmost to find the animals and will make sure that you can see them from the best spot in the national park. Naturally, the migration also attracts predators and with luck you might see a kill in action.

Day 5 : Half-Day Game Viewing Serengeti National Park – Karatu

Location: Ngorongoro Crater ViewPoint, Karatu Arusha Tanzania

Accommodation: Lodge

Accommodation Name: Country lodge Karatu

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

After breakfast we continue with game drive until lunch time. After lunch we head to Ngorongoro for overnight. On the way we can experience the Maasai traditional life and experience a little bit of these cultural people lives in the Ngorongoro conservations..

Day 6 : Ngorongoro Crater - Arusha

Location: Arusha, Ngorongoro Crater

Accommodation: Hotel

Accommodation Name: Arusha planet lodge

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch

After early breakfast we will descend over 600 meters into the crater to view wildlife for a half day’s safari tour. Supported by a year round water supply and fodder, the Ngorongoro National Park supports a vast variety of animals, which include herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, eland, warthog, hippo, and giant African elephants. Another big draw card to this picturesque national park, its dense population of predators, which include lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs and the ever-elusive leopard, which sometimes requires a trained eye to spot. We will visit Lake Magadi, a large but shallow alkaline lake in the southwestern corner, which is one of the main features of the crater. A large number of flamingos, hippos and other water birds can usually been seen here.

After our final afternoon game drive, we head back to Arusha or Airport.

Best safari

I recently embarked on my first safari trip to Tanzania, and it was an unforgettable experience thanks to this company. From the moment we started planning our trip with them, the team at Bantu Pori was incredibly helpful and accommodating. We opted for a private camping safari and trek through the crater highlands, and the arrangements they made were seamless. Our guide and cook, Hussein and Abbas, along with the additional Maasai guide, Ole, were not just knowledgeable but also attentive to our needs throughout the journey. Despite opting for budget camping at public campsites, the level of comfort provided exceeded our expectations. Overall, I highly recommend Bantu Pori Journeys for anyone planning a safari adventure in Tanzania.
