Upon your arrival at Kilimanjaro or Arusha Airport, you will be warmly welcomed by Acatree Tours and Safaris. Enjoy a scenic transfer to Greenside Hotel, where you can check in and unwind in the comfort of your elegant surroundings.

Take time to refresh and relax after your journey, perhaps strolling through the lush gardens adorned with colorful flowers, or sipping a cool drink while admiring the serene views of the hotel grounds.

Let the calm atmosphere and gentle African breeze rejuvenate your spirit as you anticipate the thrilling safari adventure that awaits you in Tanzania’s iconic wildlife destinations. This first evening offers the perfect blend of comfort, tranquility, and excitement for the journey ahead.

After a delightful breakfast at Greenside Hotel, depart with Acatree Tours and Safaris for Tarangire National Park, Tanzania’s third-largest park and a sanctuary for one of the country’s largest elephant populations. Towering baobab trees and vibrant bougainvillea flowers create a stunning backdrop as elephants, giraffes, zebras, and other wildlife roam beneath the massive branches. Wildlife congregates along the Tarangire River, the park’s only permanent water source, making it a prime spot for spotting lions, leopards, cheetahs, and hundreds of elephants.

After the afternoon adventure, continue your journey to Country Lodge Karatu for dinner and overnight stay, where you can relax and enjoy the serene surroundings by the lake, preparing for the next day of your unforgettable safari.

After an early breakfast at Country Lodge Karatu, set out with Acatree Tours and Safaris for the world-renowned Serengeti National Park, one of Africa’s most iconic wildlife havens. The drive takes you through the dramatic landscapes of the Ngorongoro Highlands, with sweeping views of forests, valleys, and villages along the way. As you descend onto the vast Serengeti plains, the scenery opens into golden Savannah stretching endlessly before you. The park is home to the legendary great migration, prides of lions, cheetahs scanning the horizon.

You will arrive in time for an afternoon game drive, where the Serengeti’s rich wildlife will begin to unfold before your eyes. As the sun sets in hues of gold and crimson across the plains, head to Sound of Silence Tented Camp, perched on a ridge with panoramic views of the wilderness.

After breakfast at Sound of Silence Tented Camp, depart with Acatree Tours and Safaris for an adventurous drive through the heart of the Serengeti, a region famed for its dramatic landscapes and the spectacular great migration during certain seasons. Along the way, marvel at the endless Savannah, dotted with acacia trees and rocky outcrops where lions bask in the sun and leopards find their shade.

This region is especially renowned for the calving, where wildebeest and zebra crossings create one of nature’s most breathtakingly spectacles. Even outside migration season, the central Serengeti offers abundant wildlife, from elephants and giraffes to predators like lions, cheetahs, and crocodiles along the riverbanks.

After an early breakfast at Sound of Silence Tented Camp, enjoy a final morning game drive in the Serengeti, taking in the last magical views of this vast wilderness. Watch as the golden plains come alive with wildlife—the prowling lions, elegant giraffes, and herds of wildebeest grazing in the morning light.

Later, depart with Acatree Tours and Safaris for the journey to Karatu district via the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Africa’s most iconic safari destinations. Along the way, enjoy scenic views of the endless plains giving way to rolling highlands and lush forests. Upon arrival, settle at the magnificent Marera Valley Lodge, dramatically perched on the crater’s rim with breath taking views of the world’s largest unbroken volcanic caldera.

After an early breakfast at Marera Valley Lodge, descend 600 meters into the Ngorongoro Crater, often referred to as the “Eighth Wonder of the World”. This vast natural amphitheatre is home to an extraordinary concentration of wildlife, offering one of the best safari experiences in Africa.

Enjoy a thrilling half-day game drive across the crater floor, with a picnic lunch surrounded by stunning landscapes. In the afternoon, begin your scenic drive back to Arusha, where the sweeping highlands gradually give way to bustling towns and lush greenery.

Arrive in the evening at the tranquil Greenside Hotel, set among beautiful gardens and offering the perfect space to relax after your safari adventure. Unwind with a refreshing drink, enjoy a warm dinner, and reflect on the unforgettable memories created during your journey with Acatree Tours and Safaris.

After a relaxing breakfast at Greenside Hotel, take some time to enjoy the peaceful surroundings of the lodge as you prepare for your journey home.
