8 Day Simba Safari

You'll be met at Kilimanjaro International Airport and transferred to Arusha Serena Hotel, Resort & Spa. The hotel is close to central Arusha, right on the banks of Lake Duluti. You can spend the rest of today at your leisure, relaxing at the hotel or exploring the surrounding landscape.

Enjoy a restful morning at the hotel before heading off in your safari vehicle for Tarangire National Park. Passing the town of Makuyuni, you'll continue on to your safari lodge. Enjoy your first game drive of the trip, followed by a chilled-out dinner in the evening. 

Start your day in style with an early-morning game drive. Keep your eyes peeled for majestic lions, lumbering elephants and elegant giraffes. You can admire the distinctive baobab trees within all Tanzania's national parks, but more so in Tarangire National Park. Later, you'll journey to your second safari lodge at Lake Manyara. 

After breakfast, enjoy a morning game drive at Lake Manyara National Park, famous for its giraffes, hippos, zebra and flamingos. You'll have a quick lunch back at the lodge, before  travelling to the North West, traversing stunning highlands filled with wheat and coffee plantations.

Once you reach the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, you can marvel at the vast plains of the Serengeti, home to an abundance of wildlife.

Today is all about safaris, as you can embark on a game drive in both the morning and evening. Your guide will be able to point out exotic birds, the 'Big Five' and much more. Plus, if you're travelling between May and July, you'll have the chance to see the annual Great Migration of more than a million Wildebeest. Fancy something a little different? See everything from a bird’s-eye view when you float over the plains in a hot-air balloon.

Like no place on Earth, the Ngorongoro Crater is the perfect place for viewing wildlife. You'll have the chance to see the rare black rhino, and so many other species of wildlife native to East Africa. After your safari, you'll continue on to your stunning lodge, which is perched up high on the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater.

Get ready for the highlight of your Tanzania tour, as you discover the world’s largest natural wildlife arena, the Ngorongoro Crater. After feasting on breakfast, it's time for a bucket-list adventure as you descend 2,000 feet into the crater. This is a true once-in-a-lifetime experience, as you'll be surrounded by grazing wildlife in the world's largest caldera.

You'll say goodbye to the Ngorongoro Crater and journey through the highlands to the Karatu district. Soak up the surrounding landscapes and scenery, as you pass rolling hills, acacia trees and plantations, and meander back to Arusha. Then you'll transfer to Kilimanjaro International Airport, ready to catch your flight home.
