Itinerary

Day 1: Serengeti National Park

Your long-awaited Tanzanian safari begins with a warm welcome and a quick orientation before you venture into the wild. The Serengeti will take your breath away; whether it’s watching a leopard hunt, hearing a lion’s roar echo across the plains, or sitting quietly as elephants feed nearby. Herds of zebra, wildebeest, and buffalo stretch endlessly across the savannah, creating scenes you’ll never forget. Your home here is Into Wild Africa Tented Camp, ideally located in the heart of the Serengeti near the Nyabogati River. With spacious tents, superb comfort, and abundant wildlife all around, it’s the perfect blend of adventure and serenity. In spite of the central location, you'll feel like you have this special corner of Africa all to yourself. https://intowildafrica.com/

Day 2: Serengeti National Park

Another day in the Serengeti means another chance to uncover its endless wonders. Venture out after breakfast for a thrilling game drive across different terrains (from sweeping grasslands to rocky outcrops) always on the lookout for big cats, elephants, and grazing herds. Your expert guide knows just where to go to give you the best chance of unforgettable encounters, whether it's a pride of lions lounging in the sun or a cheetah on the move. Midday, enjoy a relaxed bush lunch before continuing your exploration. As the sun begins to dip, return to Into Wild Africa Tented Camp. Back at camp, unwind with a drink by the fire and let the sounds of the wild remind you that you're in one of the most extraordinary places on earth. https://intowildafrica.com/

Day 3: Ngorongoro Crater

Today promises to be a highlight of your safari. After breakfast, you’ll journey to the famous Ngorongoro Crater. The descent onto the crater floor is breathtaking. You’ll be surrounded by steep green walls and a landscape full of wildlife. This is one of the best places in Africa to see black rhinos. Look out for large elephants, lion prides, and busy hyenas as you drive through forests, open plains, and hippo-filled lakes. With your expert guide, you’ll explore the different habitats and enjoy a picnic lunch in the wild. After an exciting day, we've arranged an exquisite experience at the Marera Valley Lodge. This peaceful retreat near Karatu offers cozy rooms, beautiful gardens, and views of the Crater Highlands. Relax by the pool or enjoy a fresh meal in the restaurant before settling in for the night. https://mareravalley.com/

Day 4: Lake Manyara National Park

Lake Manyara National Park is a hidden gem that charms nearly every visitor. It's one of the rare places in Africa where lions are known to climb trees, often lounging in the branches above. The park is also home to large herds of elephants and lively troops of olive baboons, all set against the stunning backdrop of the Rift Valley escarpment and the shimmering waters of Lake Manyara. It's a perfect final stop before concluding your safari adventure. We hope your time in Tanzania has been unforgettable and that your next journey with us is already on the horizon.
