Day 1; Arrival in Arusha for a City Tour & Overnight;
Jambo, Tanzania! Salutations from Africa! Your driver guide will meet you at the airport and take you to your Arusha lodging upon your arrival. After checking in, you'll unwind and get ready for the adventures ahead. A tour of the city's landmarks is included in the excursion on the first day. The city excursion includes visits to the Maasai market, the Arusha City Museum, the Cultural Heritage Museum, and the local markets. You will receive a tour briefing later in the evening, and you can take in the breathtaking view of your hotel's sunset from there. If the sky is clear, you can have a quick look at Mount Meru. We will spend the evening and night at the midrange Tulia Boutique Hotel & Spa in Arusha.
Accommodation; Tulia Boutique Hotel & Spa.

Day 2; Arusha-Tarangire National Park (Full Day Game Drive);
Get up and shine! After breakfast, you will be picked up from your hotel at 7:00 am to begin your second step on this magnificent adventure in the Northern Circuit. After meeting your guide, you will drive for about two hours to Tarangire National Park, which is renowned for its varied landscape. The park is especially well-known for having the highest concentration of elephants in the nation and for its profusion of old baobab trees. It offers exceptional opportunities to watch how elephant families interact with one another. Depending on where animals have been reported seen, we will go on a game drive (predators like lions, cheetahs, and leopards, as they are more difficult to spot). It's possible to see giraffes, wildebeests, zebras, and other animals all over the park. You'll head to the picnic area where you can eat lunch and take in the lovely view of the river and surrounding wildlife. Baboons and small monkeys will attempt to frighten you away from your meal, but you shouldn't be concerned. Following lunch, you will continue with the game drive and leave the park at approximately 5:30 p.m. After that, you will go to the Farm of Dream Lodge in Karatu, where you have a reservation, for dinner and the night.
Accommodation: Farm of Dreams Lodge.
Meals Plan; Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner.
Day 3; Karatu-Serengeti National Park;
Following breakfast with your packed lunch, you will drive through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area for 4 to 5 hours (including all stops) as you make your way from Karatu to Serengeti. It will take twenty minutes to reach the gate and viewpoint, where you will pause momentarily to take in the stunning crater view. Take a game drive through Seronera, the Serengeti's center, after arriving at Serengeti National Park in the late afternoon. We will witness the Serengeti sunset while up close and personal with various wildlife. With any luck, we might spot predators engaged in predation or feasting. You will spend the night and dinner at Katikati Tent Lodge later.

Day 4; Serengeti to Ngorongoro Crater;
Following a leisurely breakfast, you can embark on an early morning game drive or opt for an early morning Hot Air Balloon Safari, providing you with a chance to observe wildlife from above. This could likely be a migration safari route that takes you south of the Serengeti towards Seronera. After a filling lunch and a little downtime, you will leave the Serengeti National Park in the late afternoon. After a 2-hour drive, you will arrive at Ngorongoro Rhino Lodge, which offers a crater view close to the Ngorongoro Crater rim. You can spend 20 to 45 minutes visiting the Maasai village after you arrive to learn more about their way of life. The cost of this optional visit is not covered. Supper and the night at your accommodation.
Accommodation; Ngorongoro Rhino Lodge.

Day 5; Ngorongoro Crater Tour;
We will leave our lodge early in the morning to drive through the Rift Valley to the Ngorongoro Highlands, which is cooler. The largest volcanic caldera in the world, the Ngorongoro Crater, was created when a massive volcano, larger than Kilimanjaro, erupted two to three million years ago. It is roughly 600 meters deep and nearly 20 kilometers wide. Numerous species of animals, including the Big Five (lions, elephants, buffalos, rhinos, and leopards), can be found in the crater. As one of the World's Natural Wonders, it is widely recognized. The numerous springs draw more than 500 different bird species, gazelles, reedbuck, and wildebeest in addition to the Big Five. After a delicious lunch at the picnic area, you will continue to see wildlife in the crater. We will depart from the crater in the afternoon and make our way back to Arusha by driving up the narrow, steep track. Dinner and overnight will be at the Charity Hotel.
Accommodation; The Charity Hotel.

Walk to the Materuni Waterfalls and swim when you get there. Visit a nearby farm after that to learn more about Tanzania's coffee industry. Depending on the time of your international flight, you will drive to Kilimanjaro International Airport or Arusha Airport for departure after a local lunch and refreshments.
