Follow the complete route from your first welcome to the final airport transfer. Listed stays, internal logistics and special experiences are reconfirmed against your exact dates before confirmation.
This is the full published programme, expanded day by day from the supplied itinerary. Final flight times, exact game-drive timing and activity operation follow your confirmed travel dates and local conditions.
Day 101
Arusha
Arrival in Arusha
A private welcome at Kilimanjaro International Airport or Arusha Airport begins the journey. Transfer to Elewana Arusha Coffee Lodge, then settle into a gentle first evening with dinner and time to recover from the flight.
Your private arrival team confirms the transfer details against your flight, assists with luggage and keeps the first evening deliberately simple. This protects the next morning’s start and gives you time to settle into Tanzania before the route begins in earnest.
After breakfast, drive into Tarangire National Park for your first game drive, taking in elephant country, baobabs and river landscapes. Arrive at Tarangire Mwamba Lodge with time for a relaxed check-in after the afternoon safari.
Tarangire is given enough time to feel like a destination in its own right. Game-drive decisions follow current wildlife movement, light and road conditions; the included walking or night activity, where shown in the offer, remains subject to lodge operation, park rules and final confirmation.

Day 404
Tarangire

Day 505
Ngorongoro
Full-day Ngorongoro Crater
After an early breakfast, descend into the crater for a full private safari across grassland, woodland, marsh and soda-lake scenery. A picnic lunch keeps the day unhurried before you return to the rim for dinner and a second lodge night.
An early crater descent gives the day the best balance of softer light, cooler conditions and time on the floor. Wildlife is never guaranteed, but the private guide can adjust the route between grassland, woodland, marsh and lake-edge habitats while remaining within the conservation-area rules.
Travel from Ngorongoro toward the Serengeti with game viewing en route. Arrive at Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti and check into a Savannah Waterhole View Room for the first of three Serengeti nights.
The Serengeti programme is private and responsive, not a fixed vehicle circuit. Your guide uses the morning briefing and current sightings to shape the route, with a picnic or a lodge break chosen around the day’s actual wildlife opportunities and your preferred pace.

Day 707
Serengeti
Serengeti wildlife day
Choose a classic morning-and-afternoon drive rhythm or a longer day with a packed lunch, depending on wildlife movement and your preferred pace. Your private guide can focus on big cats, plains game, landscapes or a slower photographic approach.

Day 909
Arusha
Serengeti to Arusha and departure

The team reconfirms collection time against your onward flight before the final evening. Keep passports, medication and valuables with you, and let us know in advance if an airport change or additional night is required so the connection can be planned responsibly.
