Itinerary in detail

Every Mikumi Holiday Safaris trip is tailored to your personal preferences and interests. Below you’ll find a sample itinerary to inspire your own custom-designed journey.

1. Tarangire National Park

Pick up at 8:30 a.m. from your hotel in Arusha and depart for Tarangire National Park with a picnic lunch for a full-day game drive. Tanzania’s third-largest National park is known for its majestic baobab trees that dot the landscape, dwarfing the animals that feed beneath them. The Tarangire River is the centerpiece of this park, which is famous for some of the largest herds of elephants in Africa. Here you may see lion, leopard, cheetah, lesser kudu, buffalo, Oryx, eland, giraffe, and zebra. Post-game drive, you will head back to your camp or lodge, where a delicious dinner awaits you.

2. Tarangire - Serengeti National Park

After finishing up a good breakfast, you will head out towards the Serengeti National Park and travel in the midst of the never-ending plain grasslands. The Serengeti is arguably the most impressive wildlife sanctuary in the world. You will have an afternoon game drive in the endless plains of the Serengeti for a chance to see the great herds of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles or a pride of lions lounging in the shade. A picnic lunch will be served during the day-long game drive itself. The eventful day comes to an end with a heavy dinner and a good night’s rest in your accommodations.

3. Serengeti - Ngorongoro

After breakfast, you will have a morning game drive in Serengeti National Park. Later, depart for the Ngorongoro Crater Rim with a picnic lunch. Ngorongoro Crater is the largest collapsed volcanic crater in the world and has fourteen kilometers of isolated natural beauty. Ngorongoro Crater is surrounded by a ring of extinct volcanoes, and the floor, dotted with watering holes, shelters some 30,000 animals. The eventful day comes to an end with a heavy dinner and a good night’s rest in your accommodations.

4. Ngorongoro Crater

After an early breakfast, descend to the crater floor for a game drive (5 hours). You can expect to see lions, elephants, Zebras, Hippos, Flamingos, Jackals, rhinos, antelopes, and many other birds. The birds seen here include eagles, vultures, and flamingos in the Crater Lake, storks, bats, giant vultures, sacred ibis, Kori bustard, blacksmith plover, long-necked heron, and the cattle eagle. After the picnic lunch at the beautiful Hippo Pool, you will begin a steep ascent to the top exit of the crater. With a 2-hour drive left to your accommodation in Karatu, the day will come to a close. A freshly made, delicious dinner is kept ready for you at your chosen accommodation. All these days of the safari will have you quite tired, and a good rest is essential. The next day, you will begin the last leg of your safari.

5. Lk Manyara National Park - Arusha

The final day of your safari will begin as usual at 8:00 a.m. after a luscious breakfast. The destination for today is Arusha via Manyara National Park, where you will have a half-day game drive. As you enter the national park by 9 a.m., lush forests of Acacia and Mahogany trees begin to set the mood for what is waiting ahead. The game drive will go on until mid-afternoon, with a small break for a picnic lunch. During the game drive, watch out for buffaloes, giraffes, impalas, baboons, and blue monkeys. Another spectacle of Lake Manyara National Park is the tree-climbing lions; however, spotting them is a game of luck. In the right season, you can see the shoreline turning pink with millions of flamingos flocking there. By mid-afternoon, you will branch out and head towards Arusha, where you will be dropped off at your preferred location by about 6 p.m. in the evening. With an incredible experience and loads of memories to cherish, this is the time to say goodbye to your team.
