Arrive in Tanzania

Whatever time you arrive at Kilimanjaro International Airport, your Easy Travel driver-guide will be there to greet you with a warm smile. Relax in your comfortable vehicle as he transports you to your hotel in Arusha or Moshi Town, Tanzania’s self-proclaimed “safari capital.” On your way to the hotel, you’ll get a taste of this large, bustling commercial city. Your pre-safari briefing may take place today, depending on your arrival time; if not, it will take place early tomorrow morning.

Day 1: Arusha/Tarangire National Park

At 8:00 a.m., our driver will pick you up from your hotel in Moshi or Arusha and take you by land cruiser to Tarangire National Park. On your way to Tarangire National Park, Tanzania’s fourth largest and one of its most diverse, you will pass through the Maasai Steppe. Stop at the picturesque park gate to fill out the park’s registration book. You will enjoy a full-day game drive in the park while viewing animals. The impressive Great Rift Valley Escarpment, a 2,000-foot-high wall that rises improbably steep and incredibly tall out of the flat plains, will soon come into view. Elephants, buffalo, and pythons are seen easily regularly across your path, unbothered by your benign presence and going about their daily routines. You’ll meander along bush tracks and explore the Tarangire River’s twists and turns, finding elephant drinking and playing in the refreshing waters. In the evening drive to the lodge for dinner and overnight

Day 2: Karatu /Serengeti National Park

Have an early breakfast before driving to the Serengeti’s endless plains for afternoon and sunset game drives in the park. You’ll walk around the southern edge of the crater rim, spotting hyenas, elephants, and African buffalo along the way. You will arrive at the famous Serengeti National Park in the late morning. From this vantage point, the plains appear to go on forever. Before meandering through the wildlife-rich central Serengeti, stop for a picnic lunch at Naabi Hill. Later that evening, you will be able to settle into your camp before joining other travelers in the camp dining area for some palate teasers in anticipation of a delicious meal this evening. Afterward, gather around the campfire before heading off to bed. Relax in your comfortable surroundings tonight as you are lulled to sleep by the sounds of the Serengeti plains.

After lunch, you will go on an afternoon game drive until sunset, when you will return to the camp for dinner and overnight.
