Welcome to Tanzania! Upon arrival, a Get Together Adventures representative will warmly greet you at the airport and escort you to your accommodation in Arusha. Depending on your arrival time, you'll have the chance to relax and unwind, preparing for the adventure of a lifetime!

Arusha, a vibrant hub of safari life in northern Tanzania, serves as a key gateway for most travelers, and you'll experience its lively atmosphere before embarking on your unforgettable journey.

After breakfast, your Get Together Adventures guide will pick you up from your accommodation and drive you to Tarangire National Park. The journey takes approximately two and a half hours along well-maintained tarmac roads. The park is named after the Tarangire River, which flows through it, providing the only water source for wildlife in the region during the dry season. Often referred to as the "river of warthogs," the river attracts large herds of elephants, which can frequently be seen gathered along its banks.

Tarangire is also a birdwatcher's paradise, home to more breeding species than anywhere else on Earth. The park is dotted with the iconic, ancient Baobab trees, some of which are believed to be over a thousand years old.

You’ll enjoy a picnic lunch at one of the park's scenic spots before continuing your game drive. Afterward, we’ll drive to your accommodation in Karatu, where you can relax and unwind after a day full of wildlife encounters

After breakfast, you’ll embark on a scenic drive to Lake Manyara National Park, a small yet remarkably diverse destination. Despite its compact size—one of the narrowest parks in Africa—Lake Manyara is nothing short of epic, with the towering Great Rift Escarpment forming the park’s dramatic western boundary. The park is named after the shallow, saltwater lake that spans much of the area, expanding and contracting with the seasons. This dynamic lake is home to thousands of wading birds, including flamingos, and over 500 other bird species.

As you explore the park, you may encounter baboons and elephants roaming through the lush evergreen forest, and if you're lucky, you may spot the famous tree-climbing lions, a unique feature of this park.

After a day filled with incredible wildlife and breathtaking scenery, you’ll make a short drive to your accommodation in Karatu, where you can unwind and reflect on your adventures.

After breakfast, you'll drive into the cooler highlands of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, with a chance to stop and take in the breathtaking views of the spectacular Ngorongoro Crater. From there, you'll continue your journey through the conservation area and enter the southern part of the Serengeti National Park.

The Serengeti is a truly awe-inspiring destination, renowned for its vast, open grasslands that offer unparalleled wildlife sightings. While the park is home to an incredible diversity of animals, it is especially famous for the Great Migration, when massive herds of wildebeest, zebras, and antelope follow a seasonal path in search of fresh grazing. The migration is a year-round phenomenon, and with expert guidance, you’ll be able to witness it in any season—just knowing where to be at the right time!

Today is dedicated to full-day game drives in the Serengeti, where you’ll have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the park’s incredible wildlife. The Serengeti is home to a wealth of animals, including impalas, buffalo, crocodiles, and hippos, offering a diverse and exciting experience. Beyond the iconic landscapes, there is also a high chance of encountering predators such as lions, cheetahs, and leopards.

Depending on the movement of the Great Migration, you may venture beyond the central region to witness this extraordinary natural phenomenon up close. Observing the migration is a life-changing experience, filled with dramatic scenes of herds in motion, and the predators that follow in their wake. It's an unforgettable day, rich with wildlife encounters and breathtaking moments.

After breakfast, you’ll drive from Serengeti National Park to the magnificent Ngorongoro Crater. As you approach, the sight of the crater’s steep volcanic walls reveals a hidden world—a pristine wilderness filled with vast savannahs, acacia woodlands, and sparkling lakes and swamps. Formed millions of years ago when a massive volcano erupted and collapsed, Ngorongoro Crater is often referred to as a "lost world."

The drive down into the crater is an adventure in itself, and once you reach the crater floor, you’ll be surrounded by herds of wildebeest, zebras, gazelles, and over 500 bird species. The crater also offers one of the best opportunities to spot the endangered black rhino, which can sometimes be seen grazing in the open grasslands.

After a full afternoon of exploration in this unique ecosystem, you’ll head to your accommodation at the Ngorongoro Retreat for dinner and an overnight stay, where you can relax and reflect on the day’s remarkable experiences.

Today, you’ll be driven to your final destination, whether it’s Arusha Town, Arusha Airport, or Kilimanjaro Airport. Departure times will be tailored to your onward travel plans. We hope you’ve had an unforgettable adventure with Get Together Adventures and that the memories of this incredible journey will stay with you for years to come. Safe travels!
