Depart Arusha after breakfast (~2 hrs drive) to Tarangire National Park. Famed for its large elephant herds and baobab-studded terrain, the park also features lions, giraffes, and countless bird species. Enjoy a picnic or hot lunch followed by afternoon game drives before overnighting inside the park or nearby.

Spend a full day immersed in Tarangire. Morning drives reveal predators and elephant herds near the riverbed, while afternoons may surprise you with sightings of tree-climbing pythons or lesser kudu. Return to your lodge for lunch or take a picnic to maximize your exploration time.

Drive from Karatu (~4.5–5 hrs) through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area into Central Serengeti. Along the way, keep an eye out for Maasai bomas and zebra herds grazing the highlands. Arrive in Seronera by midday for lunch and enjoy an afternoon game drive to spot big cats and grazing herds.

Drive south to the Ndutu region (~2.5–3 hrs) where the short grass plains are ideal for calving season between December and March. Watch herds of wildebeest and zebra with predators nearby. Game drives can continue through the day with options for lunch in the bush or at your camp.

A full day in Ndutu tracking the herds and potential predator interactions. This region is excellent for seeing cheetahs on the hunt, lions near the marshlands, and even bat-eared foxes. You’ll cover various habitats, returning to camp or lodge in the evening after a rewarding day.

Enjoy a morning game drive in Ndutu before heading north back to Central Serengeti (~3 hrs). En route, pass by woodland and open plains with good chances of seeing elephants, giraffes, and vultures circling over kills. Arrive in time for lunch and an optional evening game drive.

Begin the day with a sunrise game drive around Seronera, where cheetahs and leopards are often active in early light. After brunch, transfer to the airstrip for your scheduled flight back to Arusha. Flight duration is ~1 hr; actual timing depends on airline booked.
