Detailed 7-Day Itinerary

Day 1: Arrival – Arusha to Tarangire National Park

Meet your safari guide and fellow group members in Arusha before departing for Tarangire National Park. Famous for its large elephant herds, baobab-dotted landscapes, and seasonal wildlife migrations, Tarangire offers an excellent introduction to Tanzania’s safari circuit. Enjoy an afternoon game drive spotting elephants, giraffes, lions, and abundant birdlife. Your guide shares insights into local ecosystems and conservation efforts. Dinner and overnight at an eco-friendly safari lodge or tented camp near the park.

Day 2: Tarangire to Serengeti National Park

After breakfast, drive north toward Serengeti National Park, passing through the scenic Ngorongoro Highlands. En route, enjoy sweeping views and photo stops before descending into the endless plains of the Serengeti. An afternoon game drive introduces you to this iconic wilderness, home to lions, cheetahs, leopards, and vast herds of wildebeest and zebra. As a group safari, shared sightings and guide commentary enhance the experience. Overnight at a centrally located Serengeti tented camp.

Day 3: Full Day Serengeti Game Drives

Spend the entire day exploring Serengeti National Park with morning and afternoon game drives. Your guide adapts routes based on wildlife movements, increasing chances of Big Five sightings and predator action. Picnic lunch in the bush allows uninterrupted exploration. Serengeti’s vastness ensures unique sightings every drive, making this a highlight for photographers and wildlife lovers alike. Return to camp in the evening for dinner, storytelling, and relaxation under the African sky.

Day 4: Serengeti to Ngorongoro Crater

Enjoy an early morning game drive in Serengeti before heading toward the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Descend into the Ngorongoro Crater—often called Africa’s “Eighth Wonder of the World”—for a spectacular game drive. The crater’s enclosed ecosystem supports dense wildlife populations, including black rhinos, lions, buffalo, hippos, and flamingos. After the safari, ascend to the crater rim or nearby highlands for dinner and overnight, enjoying cooler temperatures and panoramic views.

Day 5: Fly to Entebbe, Uganda

After breakfast, transfer to the airstrip for your flight to Entebbe, Uganda. Upon arrival at Entebbe International Airport, you are welcomed by your Ugandan guide and transferred to your hotel near Lake Victoria. The afternoon is free to relax, recover from travel, or enjoy optional lakeside walks. This fly-in connection saves time and ensures comfort, a key advantage over long overland transfers. Overnight in Entebbe.

Day 6: Entebbe to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest

Depart early for a scenic drive southwest to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, passing rolling hills, tea plantations, and rural Ugandan villages. Stop at the Equator for photos and refreshments. Arrive in Bwindi in the afternoon and check into your forest-edge lodge. Attend a gorilla trekking briefing, preparing you physically and mentally for the next day’s experience. Evening at leisure surrounded by rainforest sounds.

Day 7: Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi – Departure

Today marks the highlight of your safari. After an early breakfast, join rangers and trackers for your gorilla trekking experience in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest.
