Your 7-day itinerary
Every day can be adjusted to your pace and to where the herds are. Your written quote confirms the final plan.
- Day 1Arusha or Moshi to Karatu
Your driver-guide collects you from your hotel in Arusha or Moshi after breakfast and talks you through the plan. Drive to Karatu (about 3 to 4 hours) along the edge of the Great Rift Valley, through Maasai country and past Lake Manyara. Arrive with time to settle in, rest and get ready for the Serengeti.
- Day 2Karatu to the Serengeti
An early start for the highlight of the trip. Climb through the Ngorongoro Highlands and pass Oldupai Gorge, famous for early human fossils, then drop onto the open Serengeti plains with game viewing all the way to Moyo Camp Warangi, Central Serengeti. Picnic lunch on the road. You may well spot your first lions, zebra and wildebeest before you arrive.
- Day 3Serengeti game drive: Seronera Valley and the big cats
A full day in the Seronera Valley, the big cat heartland of the Serengeti. Follow the Seronera River for lions, leopards resting in the acacias and cheetahs on the open plains, with hippos at Retina Hippo Pool. Early start, picnic lunch in the bush and a slow return as the light turns golden.
- Day 4Serengeti game drive: Granite kopjes and cheetah plains
Explore the granite kopjes, where lions like to rest on the warm rocks and the plains around them are good for cheetah, serval and the smaller predators. Your guide reads the tracks and the radio chatter to decide where to spend the best hours.
- Day 5Serengeti game drive: Naabi Hill and the Moru Kopjes
Head south-east towards Naabi Hill and the Moru Kopjes, a quieter corner known for lions, ancient rock paintings and, with luck, black rhino. A good day for open grassland and big skies.
- Day 6Serengeti to Ngorongoro Crater
A last morning game drive in the Serengeti, then climb out through the Ngorongoro Highlands. Descend about 600 metres onto the crater floor for a half-day game drive: lions, elephants, hippos, buffalo and one of the best chances in Tanzania to see black rhino. Picnic lunch by the hippo pool, then up to Eileen's Trees Inn, Karatu for the night.
- Day 7Karatu to Arusha or Moshi
Slow breakfast, then an optional Maasai or coffee-farm visit in Karatu, arranged on request. Drive back to Arusha or Moshi (about 3 to 4 hours), arriving in the afternoon for drop-off at your hotel or Kilimanjaro Airport.
