With guaranteed departures from just one traveler, small group comfort (max 6 guests), and every guest assured a window seat, this safari ensures personalized attention and extraordinary photographic opportunities.

Day 1: Welcome to Arusha – Gateway to Adventure

Arrive at Kilimanjaro International Airport, where your African journey begins. You’ll be warmly greeted and transferred to African View Lodge or DikDik Hotel, nestled at the foothills of Mount Meru. As you settle in, soak up the tranquil atmosphere and enjoy views of Tanzania’s highlands. Dinner will be served at your lodge, offering a taste of local hospitality. Arusha, known as the safari capital, is the perfect place to rest before your thrilling Northern Circuit adventure begins tomorrow.


Day 2: Discover the Wonders of Lake Manyara

After breakfast, drive to Lake Manyara National Park, a 2.5-hour scenic journey through picturesque villages and lush farmland. The park is famed for its diverse wildlife — from tree-climbing lions to flamingos shimmering across the alkaline lake. Enjoy both morning and afternoon game drives with a picnic lunch amidst nature’s beauty. Dinner and overnight stay await at Country Lodge Karatu, a charming retreat set on the rolling escarpments overlooking the Great Rift Valley.


Day 3: Descend into Ngorongoro Crater’s Eden

Following breakfast, take a short drive to the awe-inspiring Ngorongoro Crater, one of Africa’s natural wonders and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Descend into this ancient volcanic caldera for a half-day safari amid lions, rhinos, elephants, and countless grazing herds. After your crater tour, continue to Serengeti National Park, enjoying a scenic picnic lunch en route. Depending on the season, your route follows the Great Migration — a thrilling spectacle of wildebeests and zebras on their epic journey. Dinner and overnight at Hippo Trails Camp.

Day 4: Full-Day Safari Across the Serengeti Plains

Wake up to the calls of the wild and prepare for a full day of unlimited game drives in the Serengeti. Witness Africa’s most dramatic wildlife scenes — cheetahs sprinting across open plains, lions lazing under acacia trees, and elephants moving gracefully in family herds. Your expert driver-guide will position you for the best sightings while sharing deep insights into animal behavior. Meals and overnight at Hippo Trails Camp, where the sounds of the Serengeti under a starlit sky create an unforgettable atmosphere.


Day 5: Karatu – Coffee, Culture, and Highland Charm

After an early morning game drive and breakfast, journey back toward Karatu, a vibrant agricultural town nestled near the Ngorongoro Highlands. En route, enjoy picnic lunches and scenic views of rural Tanzania. In the afternoon, experience a guided coffee tour through lush plantations, where you’ll learn about every step from bean to cup. This immersive activity supports local farmers and offers a deeper connection to Tanzanian culture. Dinner and overnight at Marera Safari Lodge, a cozy lodge surrounded by tropical gardens.


Day 6: Tarangire – Land of Elephants and Baobabs

Depart after breakfast for Tarangire National Park, renowned as the “Kingdom of Elephants.” Here, mighty herds wander beneath towering baobab trees, creating some of the most iconic safari scenes in Africa. Enjoy morning and afternoon game drives with a picnic lunch in the heart of the park. Tarangire is home to more than 550 bird species, as well as lions, leopards, and the elusive kudu. Dinner and overnight at Sangaiwe Tented Lodge, where comfort meets wilderness.
