Welcome to Tanzania! Upon arrival at the airport, your safari adventure begins with a scenic drive to Tarangire National Park, home to vast landscapes, ancient baobab trees, and one of the highest concentrations of elephants in Africa. Get ready for an exciting afternoon game drive, where you’ll witness large herds of elephants, lions, giraffes, and a variety of wildlife roaming the golden savannah. Keep an eye out for predators lurking near the Tarangire River, a lifeline for animals during the dry season. After an unforgettable introduction to the wild, head to your lodge for dinner and relaxation.
Start your day with a guided bush walk in the Burunge area, offering a chance to experience nature up close while learning about animal tracks, plants, and the ecosystem. After breakfast, embark on another thrilling game drive in Tarangire, increasing your chances of spotting elusive predators and rare species like the fringe-eared oryx. Enjoy a special WAYO bush lunch, an immersive dining experience in the wild. In the afternoon, journey to Lake Manyara National Park, famous for its tree-climbing lions, diverse birdlife, and stunning landscapes. As the sun sets, continue to Karatu, where you’ll unwind at your lodge in the lush highlands.
Burunge Bush Walk is an activity provided by the Camp free of charge and must be booked directly at the reception when checking in. The walk is subject to local weather conditions.
Wake up early for a breathtaking descent into the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and home to the highest density of wildlife in Africa. Enjoy a morning game drive across the crater floor, where you may encounter the Big Five—lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, and buffalo—along with hippos, zebras, and flocks of flamingos along the crater’s soda lakes. After a picnic lunch, drive towards the legendary Serengeti National Park, enjoying stunning scenery along the way. Arrive in time for a sunset game drive before settling into your tented camp.

Prepare for an unforgettable day exploring the endless plains of the Serengeti, one of the most iconic wildlife destinations in the world. With both morning and afternoon game drives, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to witness the Great Migration (seasonal), spot elusive leopards lounging in acacia trees, and watch cheetahs sprinting across the savannah. Keep your camera ready as you track lions, elephants, and hyenas in this predator-rich wilderness. As the sun sets, enjoy a sundowner and reflect on the incredible sights of the day.
After a final morning game drive in the Serengeti, spotting any wildlife you may have missed, begin your journey back toward Karatu. Along the way, take in the breathtaking landscapes and spot wildlife roaming freely outside the park’s boundaries. Arrive in Karatu in the late afternoon, where you can relax and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of the highlands.
Enjoy a leisurely breakfast before departing for Arusha, where you’ll have time for last-minute shopping or a city tour (depending on your flight schedule). You’ll then be transferred to the airport for your onward journey, taking with you unforgettable memories of Tanzania’s breathtaking landscapes and incredible wildlife encounters.
