Detailed Itinerary
Day 1 to Day 2
Tarangire National Park
Your guide will collect you from the airport in Arusha and transfer you to Tarangire National Park, stopping for a picnic lunch along the way. Your accommodation in Tarangire for the next two nights, Oliver's Camp, is an intimate tented safari camp overlooking a Minyonyo Pools floodplain in the remote wildlife-rich southern reaches of the park.
On safari in Tarangire National Park
Tarangire National Park, bisected by the Tarangire River, draws hundreds of animals, especially during the dry season from July to October. Prolific wildlife, tree-climbing lions, migratory wildebeest, and a massive elephant population with herds up to 300-strong make game-viewing in Tarangire a rewarding experience. Enjoy an uncrowded safari with fewer tourists and exclusive wildlife sightings on your game drives and guided walking safaris.
Day 3 to Day 4
Karatu, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara National Park
After your final sunrise game drive and breakfast in Tarangire, you will be transferred to The Manor at Ngorongoro in Karatu, a small bustling town in Tanzania's northern highlands on the southern slopes of the Ngorongoro Crater. The Manor at Ngorongoro is a grand old mansion on a working coffee estate with 18 charming cottages. Here, you can tour the coffee estate and explore The Manor's surrounding gardens on mountain bikes or horseback. Wildlife activities include game drives in the Ngorongoro Crater and nearby Lake Manyara National Park.
Horseback riding at The Manor at Ngorongoro
The Ngorongoro Crater is a collapsed volcano with diverse habitats and abundant wildlife, including the Big Five. Exceptional game-viewing opportunities, picturesque landscapes, abundant wildlife, the highest concentration of Maasai Lions in East Africa, and the chance to encounter critically endangered black rhinos make the Ngorongoro Crater one of Tanzania's most celebrated safari destinations.
Game drives in Ngorongoro Crater
Our 14 Day Best of Northern Tanzania & Zanzibar Luxury Tour includes a game-viewing excursion to nearby Lake Manyara National Park. The park is home to tree-climbing lions, a large population of elephants, various mammals and primates, and over 300 migratory bird species, including long-crested eagles and flamingos.
Day 5 to Day 7
Serengeti National Park
After early morning game-viewing activities and breakfast, you will be transferred to &Beyond Serengeti Under Canvas.

Enjoy classic safari-style accommodation in en-suite tents and explore the beautiful Serengeti ecosystem on day and night game drives. During migration season, Serengeti Under Canvas has prime access to the best annual migration viewing areas.
The Great Wildebeest Migration
The Great Wildebeest Migration is the largest mass terrestrial migration of wildlife on Earth, and the sight of two million wildebeest, zebra and other species moving through the Serengeti is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Beyond the drama of the migration, the Serengeti offers diverse flora and fauna, with over 70 species of mammals and more than 500 bird species, including elephant, buffalo, lion, cheetah, leopard, giraffe, topi, gazelle, impala, waterbuck, hippo and hyena.
