On arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport, you will be met by your driver guide and start your journey with a drive through Arusha town and on to Tarangire National Park. After lunch and freshening up, go out on your first afternoon game drive experience.
Transfer time: ~3 hours
Meet & Greet
Private afternoon game drive
Included activities from Oliver's Camp are:
- Morning and afternoon game drives, including night drives
We highly recommend to add on/prebook a guided safari walk. Tarangire will be the only park that allows that. It is a great way to experience the bush and to get an understanding of how everything from the soil to the plants, insects and bigger wildlife is interconnected. The additional cost for a walk is US$ 80 per person.
Shared morning and afternoon safari activities
After a leisurely breakfast, depart on a game drive transfer out of the park and continue all the way to The Highlands. You will drive through coffee plantations towards the Ngorongoro Crater, a journey of three hours to reach the property, enjoying a packed lunch on the way. Stop at the viewpoint overlooking the crater to soak in the spectacular landscape and continue your drive around the rim until you reach the Olmoti Crater, where you will stay for the next two nights. If you feel like stretching your legs, you can opt for a guided walk from the camp up to the rim of Olmoti Crater, passing through dense forest and waterfalls on the way.
Transfer time: ~3 hours

Game drive transfer out of the park
Afternoon
Afternoon Olomoti Crater Rim walk
After an early breakfast, depart with your guide for the Ngorongoro Crater, a drive of around an hour until you reach the descent road. Spend the morning game-driving on the crater floor in search of the varied wildlife that lives here. You’ll enjoy a picnic lunch during the heat of the day in a shady spot before driving back to The Highlands, where you can relax a little. In the late afternoon, you can either decide to go for another crater hike, or a guide will take you to one of the nearby Maasai villages, where you can learn more about this rich culture and take part in their afternoon activities, which often include rounding up cattle into the boma for the night.

Shared afternoon activity

Transfer drive: ~5 1/2 hours, excluding game driving
Road transfer to the Serengeti, including game viewing
Safari activities at Dunia take place in the early morning and late afternoon, when the wildlife is most active. You will explore with expert guides on game drives, looking for the big cats that have made the Serengeti famous as well as hippos wallowing in muddy pools and giraffe browsing the fresh shoots of an acacia tree. In between, you will return to camp for a delicious lunch, and to have a siesta or catch up on a good book. Evenings are spent sharing stories of your day’s adventures with other guests around the dinner table. Between April and July, it is very likely to see the wildebeest migration herds from here as well.
For a special experience, enquire about a balloon ride over the endless plains of the Serengeti.
Enjoy a final breakfast in camp before a short drive to the airstrip for your late-morning flight back to Kilimanjaro Airport in Arusha.
