Rise early and head out from your camp to spend the entire day exploring the vast Serengeti plains, following the paths of the migrating herds. As you travel through the park, you’ll witness the breathtaking phenomenon of the great migration, where thousands of wildebeests, zebras, and other hoofed mammals make their way across the vast landscape, always followed by their predators, including lions, cheetahs, and hyenas. This incredible spectacle offers a front-row seat to one of nature’s most dramatic survival stories.

The Serengeti is one of the best places to observe the Big Five—lion, elephant, leopard, rhino, and buffalo—so be on the lookout for these magnificent creatures during your game drive. Whether they’re lounging in the shade, hunting in the tall grasses, or moving through the savannah, these iconic animals are the epitome of Africa’s wilderness.

After a day of thrilling wildlife encounters and stunning scenery, you’ll return to your tented camp in the Serengeti for a peaceful evening. Enjoy a delicious dinner while taking in the incredible views of the park's wide-open plains stretching out beneath the stars, reflecting on the day’s adventures.

After a hearty breakfast, you’ll set out for a morning game drive in the Serengeti's central region, a prime spot for spotting the Big Cats—particularly lions and leopards. This area of the Serengeti is known for its year-round exceptional wildlife viewing. As you drive across the rolling plains, keep your eyes peeled for cheetahs, giraffes, hippos, elephants, and the elusive pangolins. The Serengeti's open landscapes also provide a backdrop for an array of birdlife, including ostriches, and the chance to see large herbivores grazing peacefully alongside predators lurking nearby.

After a delightful lunch in the Serengeti, you’ll continue your journey to the iconic Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the world’s most stunning natural wonders. Known as the “Garden of Eden,” Ngorongoro is home to a variety of wildlife, including the endangered black rhino.

On arrival, you’ll enjoy a relaxing evening at your lodge, nestled on the edge of the crater, and enjoy a delicious dinner while reflecting on your safari adventure. This will be a memorable night in one of Tanzania’s most breathtaking locations

After a hearty breakfast, your safari guide will meet you at your accommodation and you'll begin your final day of the safari with a visit to Lake Manyara National Park. This relatively compact yet diverse park is famous for its stunning soda lake, which occupies a significant portion of the park's surface area. The lake, which floods and dries with the seasons, is a vital habitat for thousands of flamingos and over 500 bird species, making it a birdwatcher's paradise.

While exploring the park, you may encounter monkeys, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, buffaloes, and elephants. The park is also famous for its tree-climbing lions, and with some luck, you might spot these magnificent predators lounging in the branches of trees—a truly unique sight. In addition to its diverse wildlife, the park offers a variety of landscapes, from open grassy plains to primate-filled woodlands and baobab-dotted cliffs, providing a rich and varied safari experience.

After an extensive game drive through the park, you’ll drive back to Arusha Planet Lodge, where you'll have the chance to relax and reflect on the incredible experiences from the past week. The lodge offers a comfortable, tranquil setting to unwind before your departure.

On your final day, you'll enjoy a relaxed breakfast or lunch at your accommodation. Take a moment to reflect on the incredible safari journey you've experienced. Your safari guide will then transfer you to Kilimanjaro Airport for your flight home or onward journey. Safe travels, and we hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable adventure in the future!
