Your East African journey begins in Nairobi, where you are collected from your confirmed hotel, airport or agreed meeting point for the journey south toward Tanzania.

Travel through southern Kenya toward the designated Kenya–Tanzania border crossing. Complete the applicable immigration and entry formalities before continuing into northern Tanzania.

Proceed toward Arusha, Tanzania's principal gateway to the Northern Safari Circuit, with Mount Meru dominating the landscape on clear days.

Arrive at your selected Arusha hotel for check-in and a relaxed evening before your wildlife safari begins the following morning.

After breakfast, meet your professional Tanzania safari driver-guide and depart in your private 4x4 safari vehicle toward Lake Manyara.

Approach the spectacular Great Rift Valley escarpment and enter Lake Manyara National Park for your first dedicated game drive.

The park contains a remarkable variety of habitats within a relatively compact area, from groundwater forest and open grassland to wetlands and lake-edge environments.

Search for elephants, buffalo, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, baboons, hippos and diverse birdlife before continuing to your selected lodge or tented camp.

After breakfast, travel through the highlands of northern Tanzania toward the legendary Serengeti ecosystem.

The scenery changes dramatically as the greener highlands gradually open into the immense savannah landscapes that have made Serengeti one of Africa's most famous wildlife destinations.

Enter Serengeti 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.

Spend a complete day exploring Serengeti National Park with your private driver-guide.

Without a major transfer today, your safari can focus entirely on wildlife. Explore productive areas according to current animal movements, seasonal conditions and recent sightings.

The Serengeti is particularly celebrated for lions, cheetahs and leopards and supports enormous populations of wildebeest, zebras, gazelles and other herbivores.

The park forms the heart of the annual Great Migration ecosystem. The precise location of migrating herds varies throughout the year according to rainfall, grazing and natural seasonal movements.

An optional hot-air balloon safari can be arranged in advance at additional cost and subject to availability and operating conditions.

Enjoy breakfast followed by further wildlife viewing as you gradually travel out of Serengeti toward the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.

This scenic journey provides additional opportunities for wildlife sightings before the immense Serengeti grasslands transition into the dramatic volcanic landscapes of Ngorongoro.

Proceed to your selected lodge or camp in the Ngorongoro or Karatu area and enjoy the evening surrounded by the cooler highland environment.

After an early breakfast, descend into Ngorongoro Crater for one of the most distinctive wildlife experiences in Africa.

Explore the crater floor in search of lions, buffalo, wildebeest, zebras, gazelles, hippos, hyenas and numerous other species. Ngorongoro is also an important habitat for endangered black rhinos, although sightings cannot be guaranteed.

After your crater safari, ascend from the caldera and continue toward Tarangire.

The scenery changes again as you approach a landscape characterised by ancient baobab trees and the Tarangire River.

Begin your final day with a private game drive through Tarangire National Park.

The park is particularly famous for elephants, and large family groups may be encountered moving through the baobab-dotted landscape.

Search also for giraffes, buffalo, zebras, wildebeest, antelopes and predators. During the dry season, permanent water sources can attract impressive concentrations of wildlife.

After your final game drive, leave Tarangire and travel back to Arusha for your confirmed hotel, airport or onward travel connection.

Your seven-day Nairobi-to-Tanzania private safari concludes after a journey from Kenya's capital into four of northern Tanzania's most celebrated wildlife landscapes.
