Itinerary
Your adventure begins in Arusha, where the Africa High Tours team welcomes you with open arms. You’ll head straight to Tarangire National Park, a stunning wilderness known for its massive elephant herds and ancient baobab trees. As you roll into the park in our custom 4×4 safari vehicle, the Tarangire River sparkles in the distance, drawing wildlife from every corner.
You'll watch elephants splash in the water, spot zebras grazing under acacias, and keep your eyes peeled for lions on the prowl. Tarangire’s quieter trails give you that exclusive, in-the-wild feeling you’ve been craving. After an afternoon of thrilling sightings, you'll settle into a cozy campsite as the sun sets, painting the sky in fiery hues.
Our guides know Tarangire’s hidden gems, ensuring you spot rare wildlife like the shy African wildcat.

On day two, you'll journey to the world-famous Serengeti National Park, a 14,750-square-kilometer expanse that’s the heart of Tanzania’s safari scene. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is where the Great Migration comes alive, with millions of wildebeest and zebras thundering across the plains. Your first game drive starts as you enter through the Naabi Hill Gate, and the Serengeti doesn’t hold back.
Imagine a lion pride lounging under a tree, a cheetah poised for a chase, or a herd of elephants marching across the horizon. The Serengeti is raw, untamed, and yours to explore. After a day of heart-pounding moments, you'll relax at our handpicked Serengeti camp, where the night sky dazzles above.

Depending on the season, you might witness the Great Migration’s dramatic river crossings or spot a leopard lounging in a tree. Stop for a picnic lunch with a view that stretches forever, then keep exploring until the golden hour bathes the landscape in light.

With Africa High Tours, you’ll descend into this natural marvel and experience one of the greatest wildlife spectacles on Earth. Home to over 25,000 animals, the crater offers extraordinary opportunities to observe wildlife up close.
You'll watch zebras and wildebeest grazing the open plains, flamingos painting Lake Magadi pink, and—if you're lucky—the elusive black rhino roaming freely. Feel the excitement as lions stalk their prey or as massive bull elephants wander across the crater floor. After an incredible morning of game viewing, enjoy a relaxing picnic lunch beside a hippo-filled pool.
As the day winds down, you'll take in the last views of this wildlife paradise before heading back to Arusha, wrapping up your unforgettable safari adventure through Tanzania’s most iconic landscapes.
