    Day 1 · Arusha

    Arrival in Tanzania

    Upon your arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO), you will be warmly welcomed by your professional safari guide and transferred to Arusha Farm House, a charming lodge nestled among coffee plantations on the outskirts of Arusha. The drive takes approximately one hour, offering your first glimpse of Tanzania's beautiful landscapes and the towering silhouette of Mount Meru if weather conditions permit. After check-in, relax and recover from your international journey — enjoy the gardens, unwind by the pool, then join your guide for a detailed safari briefing before dinner and your first overnight stay in Tanzania.

Begin your game drive across open savannah, riverine woodland and seasonal swamps in search of elephants, lions, leopards, cheetahs, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, buffaloes and antelope. Tarangire also boasts more than 550 recorded bird species.

The route passes through the scenic Ngorongoro Conservation Area, offering sweeping views of highlands, Maasai villages and volcanic landscapes before entering Serengeti via the Naabi Hill Gate. Begin an exciting game drive en route to Central Serengeti — a region renowned for year-round wildlife thanks to permanent water and abundant resident game. Expect lions, cheetahs, elephants, buffaloes, giraffes, hyenas, jackals, hippos, crocodiles and vast herds of zebra, wildebeest and gazelle. Seasonally, you may witness part of the Great Wildebeest Migration. Picnic lunch in the park, afternoon drive, then dinner and overnight at Safari Haven Serengeti.

Its fertile floor supports year-round water and abundant grazing, making it one of the best places on Earth to see the Big Five in a single day.
