Depart Arusha for Tarangire National Park (~2.5 hrs). Begin your game drive among ancient baobab trees and riverine woodlands. Tarangire is known for its elephant population and towering termite mounds. After a picnic lunch, continue wildlife viewing before checking into your lodge inside or near the park.

Full-day in Tarangire. Explore deeper areas like Silale Swamp or the southern sector. Look for tree-climbing pythons, bat-eared foxes, and massive elephant herds. Lunch may be a relaxed bush picnic or back at camp depending on your lodge location.

Early breakfast, then depart for Central Serengeti (~6–7 hrs). Pass through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, with scenic stops en route. Afternoon arrival in Seronera allows for a short game drive before reaching camp. Expect to see giraffes, zebras, and possibly lions during the transfer.

Spend the day in Central Serengeti’s most wildlife-rich zones. Explore the Retima Hippo Pool, Seronera River circuit, or Sametu Kopjes. Lion sightings are frequent, and leopards often perch in trees. Lunch served picnic-style in the bush or at the lodge.

Morning drive in Serengeti, then depart for Karatu (~5–6 hrs). Cross Ngorongoro highlands along the way. Scenic transitions from open savannah to montane forests. Optional stop at Olduvai Gorge or Maasai villages. Overnight in the green hills of Karatu.

Explore Lake Manyara National Park (~45 min drive). Famous for tree-climbing lions, flamingos (when in season), and lush groundwater forest. Short but rewarding game drives before returning to Arusha (~2.5 hrs). Safari ends in the late afternoon.
