Day to Day Itinerary

Day 1 - Arrival in Arusha

You will be picked up from Kilimanjaro International Airport. Our staff will answer all your queries regarding your upcoming safari and provide you with a short briefing as well. Afterwards, you will be taken to your accommodation

Day 2 - Walking safari in Arusha National Park Walking safari in Arusha National Park

Arusha National Park is a hidden gem among Tanzania’s northern safari circuit — small in size but incredibly rich in natural beauty and biodiversity. Nestled just a short drive from Arusha town, the park offers a stunning mix of landscapes, from the misty rainforest slopes of Mount Meru to open savannahs and the sparkling Momella Lakes. What makes Arusha truly special is the chance to experience a walking safari, a rare and thrilling way to connect with nature up close. Guided by an armed ranger, you’ll walk through acacia woodlands where giraffes, warthogs, buffalo, and antelopes may appear just meters away, all while learning about the park’s ecosystem and animal behavior. After your bush walk, the adventure continues by 4×4 vehicle toward the bird-rich Momella Lakes, where flamingos, pelicans, hornbills, and more than 200 other bird species thrive. For those curious about conservation, a stop at the Ngurdoto Museum offers insight into the park’s environmental challenges and history. As the day winds down, you’ll travel toward the escarpment above Lake Manyara and settle into the serene elegance of Manyara’s Secret a peaceful retreat and the perfect romantic setting to reflect on your first days of safari together.

Day 3 - Mto wa Mbu village walk

Your second morning begins with a rich cultural immersion in the vibrant village of Mto wa Mbu, a unique community where over 120 different tribes live together in harmony. This lively and welcoming village offers a colorful glimpse into Tanzania’s diverse cultures. As you walk through its bustling markets and leafy paths, you’ll meet local artisans, farmers, banana beer brewers, and woodcarvers — each eager to share their stories and skills. A highlight of the visit is the banana plantation, where you’ll learn about the many uses of bananas in local cuisine, art, and even construction. It’s a light-hearted, eye-opening experience that brings you closer to the heart of Tanzanian life. By midday, you’ll return to the peaceful comfort of Manyara’s Secret, a serene lodge perched on the escarpment with sweeping valley views. Whether you choose to lounge by the pool, enjoy a quiet lunch, or relax in your private villa, the afternoon is yours to enjoy at your own pace. Read on the terrace, take in the golden light over the landscape, or indulge in a soothing massage a perfect way to slow down and savor your time together.

Day 4 - Ngorongoro Conservation Area

Today marks an exciting highlight of your safari: a full-day adventure into the legendary Ngorongoro Crater. Your journey begins early in the morning as your guide picks you up for the drive into the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Often compared to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s The Lost World, the Crater is a breathtaking natural amphitheater created by a collapsed volcano, now home to one of the densest concentrations of wildlife on Earth. Though relatively compact in size, the Crater hosts an incredible diversity of animals per square meter — making it one of the most unique ecosystems you’ll encounter.

As you descend the crater wall on a winding road through lush forest, you’ll stop at a scenic lookout for a sweeping panoramic view of the vast, animal-rich floor below. While animals are free to leave the caldera, many choose to remain due to the abundance of fresh grass and reliable prey. Inside, you’ll witness zebras, buffaloes, wildebeests, elephants, and lions all in close proximity — a photographer’s dream. Keep an eye out for rhinos too; although rare, Ngorongoro is one of the few places in East Africa where these endangered giants still roam. One species you won’t find is the giraffe — their tall, lanky frames are unsuited to the steep descent into the Crater.

Midday, you’ll take a break at the picnic site near Lake Magadi, a tranquil spot often visited by hippos and a variety of birds. Be mindful of kites (the birds, not the toys) as they sometimes swoop in for unattended snacks! While you enjoy lunch, watch hippos wallow in the shallow water or lazily surface for air. This UNESCO World Heritage Site offers not just rich biodiversity, but also a sense of wonder a place where nature thrives untouched and every turn reveals another unforgettable moment.

Day 5 - Serengeti National Park — Seronera

Serengeti sounds absolutely breathtaking! The central Serengeti, especially around Seronera, is such a famous area, known for its rich wildlife and stunning landscapes. It must feel like stepping into a completely different world, where the rhythm of life is wild and untamed. Are you planning to go on a safari soon, or is this more of a virtual adventure for you today? Either way, it must be incredible to imagine seeing all those animals in their natural habitat. Do you have a particular animal you’re most excited to spot?

Day 6 - Serengeti National Park — Seronera

It sounds like you’re diving deep into the heart of Serengeti, and I can just picture that evening scene the sun setting over the vast, golden savannah, the sky painted in those rich hues of orange, pink, and purple. And how amazing would it be to see a rare leopard or a caracal on a game drive? Their stealthy movements and elusive nature make them a real thrill to spot.

There’s something magical about those moments where you’re out in the wild, in the middle of all the action, and then you can kick back and just let the landscape take your breath away. The contrast of excitement and serenity is such a special part of the safari experience. Are you imagining yourself sitting out there in that cozy spot, taking in the view? What kind of snack or drink would you have in hand for the ultimate safari moment?

Day 7- Flight out of Serengeti

That sounds incredible! A flight over Tanzania’s landscapes will give you a whole new perspective on the Serengeti. The vast plains stretching out below, dotted with herds of animals, must be something to behold from above. If you decide to go for a quick morning game drive, imagine spotting a group of elephants or a pride of lions as the sun rises—how exciting would that be?

It’s also nice that you have the flexibility to choose your own pace—whether you want to sneak in some wildlife sightings before takeoff or enjoy a relaxed breakfast and leave on your own time. If you were to pick, would you go for the early game drive to get the heart pumping, or would you prefer to take your time, savoring the views as you take off and reflect on the whole safari experience so far?
