Your Itinerary
A staff member of Gosheni Safaris will pick you up from the Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO). From here you will be driven to Hotel in Arusha and briefed on your upcoming safari. Enjoy a restful night before beginning your adventure tomorrow!
Arusha, also known as "A" Town by the locals, is situated at the foot of Mount Meru, Africa's 5th highest mountain. The altitude gives the city a pleasant climate and lush green environment. Arusha is not a particularly attractive city in itself and is regarded by many visitors as little more than a necessary stopover before their safari starts in earnest. However, the natural charm of the Tanzanians and the buzz of a fast-growing city mean that Arusha has plenty to offer for those who are prepared to see beyond their air-conditioned safari trucks and satellite-TV equipped hotel rooms.
After breakfast, drive to Ngorongoro Crater for full day game viewing in the evening drive to the lodge for evening leisure and overnight.
This is an extensive highland area along the eastern arm of the Great Rift Valley, with the world-renowned Ngorongoro Crater as its focal point. It is not a national park in the strict sense of the word but was rather established to conserve wildlife and other natural resources. It exists to safeguard the interests of indigenous people as well as promote tourism. Thus, guests on safari have the unique.
After breakfast, we will set off for Serengeti National Park with picnic lunch, and game drives en route, afternoon game in Serengeti Central Part.
Tanzania’s oldest and most popular national park. A UNESCO world heritage site and recently proclaimed the 7th wonder of the world, Serengeti is famed for its annual migration where some six million hooves pound the open plains. Serengeti offers an exotic game viewing experience in the whole of Africa giving you an up-close look of the animals you've only seen in National Geographic: great herds of buffalo, smaller groups of elephant and giraffe, and thousands of eland, topi, kongoni, impala and Grant’s gazelle.
After breakfast, you will head north of Serengeti for a game drive in the wilderness tracking the Great migration trails.
Witness a million wildebeests, each one driven by the same ancient rhythm, fulfilling its instinctive role in the inescapable cycle of life: a frenzied three-week bout of territorial conquests and mating; survival of the fittest as 40km (25 miles) long columns plunge through crocodile-infested waters on the annual exodus north.
Spend a full day in north Serengeti mostly exploring the Migration (There's an option of doing a Hot Air Balloon at this area for additional cost.)
Serengeti National Park, Resident wildlife numbers are exceptionally high in the Wagakuria area, with prides of lion up to 30 strong, however, from July to October the area turns into a wildlife paradise. The key feature is the Mara River and it is not uncommon to see the herds cross the Mara River north on one day and then back south a few days later. Please take note - to actually finding a crossing is very difficult and is sometimes a matter of luck.
Morning game viewing en route to Kogatende Airstrip for your flight to Arusha that will depart at 10:30 am, and arrive at 12:30 pm at Arusha Airport. You will be met and greeted by our transfer guide who will transfer you to Kilimanjaro International Airport for your onward flight.
