Meet your professional safari driver-guide in Arusha and depart in your private 4x4 safari vehicle for Lake Manyara and the Great Rift Valley.

Enter Lake Manyara National Park and begin your first game drive through a remarkably varied landscape of groundwater forest, grasslands, wetlands and lake-edge habitat.

Search for elephants, buffalo, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, baboons, hippos and numerous bird species beneath the imposing Rift Valley escarpment.

Later proceed to your selected lodge or tented camp in the Lake Manyara or Karatu area.

After breakfast, travel through the beautiful highlands of northern Tanzania toward Serengeti National Park.

As you continue westward, the greener highlands gradually open into the immense plains associated with the Serengeti ecosystem.

Enter the national park and begin game viewing en route to your selected lodge or tented camp.

Search for lions, cheetahs, leopards, elephants, giraffes, buffalo, hyenas, wildebeest, zebras and numerous antelope species as your three-night Serengeti experience begins.

Wake in the heart of Serengeti and dedicate the entire day to wildlife viewing with your private driver-guide.

With no inter-park transfer required, the day's route can be adapted to current wildlife activity, recent sightings and seasonal conditions.

Search for Serengeti's celebrated predators, including lions, cheetahs and leopards, together with elephants, buffalo, giraffes, hyenas and immense populations of plains game.

Your private safari format gives you the flexibility to spend longer at rewarding sightings and observe wildlife behaviour without following the fixed schedule of a shared tour.

Your third night in Serengeti gives you another complete day to explore this extraordinary ecosystem without packing up and moving to another destination.

Depending on the season and the location of wildlife, your driver-guide can explore different areas from those visited on the previous day.

The greater Serengeti ecosystem supports the annual movement of vast wildebeest and zebra herds. Their precise location varies throughout the year according to rainfall, grazing conditions and natural seasonal movement.

For an additional perspective over the plains, an optional hot-air balloon safari may be arranged in advance at additional cost, subject to availability and operating conditions.

After breakfast, enjoy further wildlife viewing as you gradually leave Serengeti and travel toward the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.

Continue through the highlands and descend into the extraordinary Ngorongoro Crater for a dedicated game drive across the caldera floor.

The crater supports an exceptional concentration of wildlife. Search for lions, buffalo, wildebeest, zebras, gazelles, hippos, hyenas and many other species.

Ngorongoro is also an important habitat for the endangered black rhino, although all wildlife remains wild and individual sightings cannot be guaranteed.

Later ascend from the crater and proceed to your selected accommodation in the Ngorongoro or Karatu area.

After an early breakfast, depart for Tarangire National Park for the final wildlife chapter of your six-day safari.

Enter a dramatically different environment dominated by giant baobab trees, seasonal wetlands and the Tarangire River.

Tarangire is particularly renowned for elephants, and large family groups are frequently encountered. Search also for giraffes, buffalo, zebras, wildebeest, antelopes and predators.

Enjoy your final game drive and lunch according to the confirmed safari arrangements before leaving the park.

Travel back to Arusha, where your private Tanzania safari concludes at your confirmed hotel, airport or onward connection.
