Welcome to Tanzania! Upon your arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport, you will proceed through passport control. You will be met by a Kotia Safaris Representative outside the arrival lounge and transferred to your accommodation in Arusha for an overnight stay. The drive to Arusha is about 60 minutes. Enjoy a great meal and a relaxing evening before starting your seven-day Tanzania safari the next morning.

Arusha is considered the safari capital of East Africa. Depending on the time you arrive, we may be able to have an Arusha town tour on the way to your lodging.

After a nourishing early English breakfast served at the lodge, you will be transferred to Arusha airport for your flight to the Serengeti. The flight is approximately 1 hour. Upon landing you will be met by our professional safari driver guide and embark on a game drive before checking in to the lodge for lunch.

Serengeti National Park is well known for the most amazing wildlife spectacle on earth – the great migration of wildebeests and zebras. The Serengeti’s vast plains are also home to and haven of other wildlife, including lions, cheetahs, leopards, other predators, as well as little critters and many species of birds.

After lunch and some down time at the lodge, you will go out for an afternoon game drive then return to the lodge for dinner and an overnight stay. Literally, above and beyond the traditional safari vehicles, an optional hot-air balloon ride over the Serengeti plains has become a welcome addition for the complete safari experience.

You have two more days in the very beautiful and productive Central Serengeti, which is famed for its terrific cat sightings. As you keep exploring this beautiful Park you will come to understand why the name Serengeti means, in local language, “endless plains”.   

We are completely flexible with your preferences and the days will be organized according to your wishes. On every day of the safari, your guide will discuss with you the best timing for you, including the game drives and the wake-up time. For example, you could do a morning game drive, return to the camp for lunch and relaxation and finish with an afternoon game drive, or you could do a full day game drive with a picnic lunch.

After an early breakfast served at the lodge, with a game drive along the way we will drive to Ngorongoro Crater where you will descend the 600-metre-high walls to the floor of the Crater. The drive is about 3 hours. The Ngorongoro Crater is one of the World’s seven natural wonders and is listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. It is one of the most beautiful and unique places in the World. Here you will find a haven of African wildlife that includes not less than 27,000 plains animals that permanently reside in this Caldera. You might also be lucky to witness the endangered Black Rhino. We will also enjoy a game drive and lunch on the Crater floor before driving to the Lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.

After a hearty breakfast at the lodge, you will begin your adventure by road for Tarangire National Park. On this breathtaking 2 hour drive through the Maasai Steppe, we will experience the African savannah and rolling hills scenery before reaching the Park. Tarangire National Park is the home of more than 3,000 elephants and is famous for the Baobab Trees (also nicknamed “the Trees of Life”).  We will enjoy a game drive and picnic lunch in this beautiful park then we will continue to the lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.

After an early breakfast served at the lodge, enjoy the 2.5 hour drive back to Arusha. In Arusha, you will have lunch and a day room to freshen up before driving to Kilimanjaro International Airport for your international departure. This will mark the end of our service.
