Tanzania Family - Serengeti Safari Itinerary

The adventure begins in Arusha, the gateway to Tanzania’s great northern game parks. Explore the town and try to spot the twin peaks of neighbouring Mt Meru as well as Mt Kilimanjaro, further in the distance.

Leaving the urban world behind, it’s time for things to get wild. Cross the dramatic Great Rift Valley and head towards Lake Manyara in search of tree-climbing lions, elephant, hippo and the region’s bewildering array of birdlife.

Journey to one of Africa’s best known national parks. The Serengeti conjures up spectacular visions of sweeping plains filled with incredible wildlife and the next few days will turn these images into reality. From April to June there’s every chance that a visit may even coincide with the natural phenomenon of the annual migration. Try to spot the Big Five on game drives and fall asleep in the heart of the bush surrounded by the stirring calls of the wild.

After an early morning game drive or perhaps even a hot air balloon ride, for those keen to make their Serengeti stay all the more memorable, set off on a scenic drive to the Ngorongoro Crater. Be amazed by the wildlife-rich environment created by this former volcano, now a haven for an estimated 30,000 animals, including rhinos, wildebeests and buffaloes. Enjoy the novelty of staying by the crater rim with stunning views down to the natural amphitheatre.

Retrace those steps back to Arusha and spend time reliving the extraordinary experiences of the last few days relaxing by the hotel pool.
