7-Day Unforgettable Northern Circuit Safari (Night Game Drive)

Upon your arrival, you will be picked up from the airport. Depending on the time of arrival, a city sightseeing tour or a short hike to Kilima Moto can be organized for you to enjoy a scenic view of the sunset in Arusha and get you started on what will be an exciting safari adventure. We recommend arriving in the afternoon to fully enjoy this day.

The drive from Arusha to Tarangire takes about 2 hours. Upon arrival, you will embark on a full-day game drive exploring the park’s most rewarding areas for spotting predators such as lions, cheetahs, and leopards, as well as classic herbivores including elephants, wildebeests, buffaloes, zebras, and gazelles. The park’s stunning landscape, dotted with majestic baobab trees and sweeping savannah plains, offers incredible photographic opportunities.

As others begin to leave the park in the late afternoon, you’ll continue your adventure, enjoying the serenity of a less-crowded Tarangire and observing animals becoming more active as the sun sets. Later in the evening, you’ll settle into your authentic wilderness camp inside Tarangire, where you can relax by the campfire, listen to the distant calls of wildlife, and soak in the peace and tranquility that make Tarangire so unique, an experience unlike any other, even compared to the camps of the Serengeti.

You will start early at 6:00 a.m. with a morning game drive in Tarangire, enjoying the park’s active wildlife before the sun gets stronger. By late morning, you will check out as more vehicles arrive and drive to Fig Tree Lodge for lunch and some relaxation. In the afternoon, you'll head to Mto wa Mbu for a cultural tour, visiting farms, waterfalls, and exploring the area by bike. After returning to the lodge for dinner and a short rest, you’ll set out at 8:00 p.m. for a night game drive in Lake Manyara National Park, where you’ll spot nocturnal animals and enjoy the calm, silent wilderness before returning to Fig Tree Lodge for the night.

After breakfast, you will head to Ngorongoro as it's a transit point to the Serengeti National Park. In Ngorongoro, you will stop at the viewpoint to enjoy the beautiful view and take pictures. Then, you'll continue the journey to the Serengeti National Park. You will arrive in the afternoon, when you will enjoy your lunch. You'll head out for an evening game drive. Then, you will be driven to your lodge.

After an early breakfast, you will set out for a morning game drive exploring different parts of the park, following wildlife across the open plains and river valleys. You will enjoy a hot lunch at the picnic site while taking in the surrounding beauty and peaceful atmosphere. In the afternoon, you will begin your journey back to your Camp, enjoying scenic views and spotting animals along the way.

After an early breakfast, you will descend the crater on a journey to find the black rhinos. Rhinos are the hardest to spot in the beautiful crater, as most animals will be easier to spot in this park due to it being a flat crater. After lunch, you will do a game drive and ascend the crater to camp and then back to Arusha.

You'll embark on a full-day adventure to Materuni and Kikuletwa, a perfect experience for adventure, cultural, and active travelers in Tanzania. You'll begin with a scenic hike to the stunning Materuni Waterfalls, where you can enjoy a refreshing swim in the cool waters. You'll continue to a local coffee farm to learn about Tanzania’s rich coffee-making tradition and even take part in the process. Later, you will unwind at the Kikuletwa Hot Springs, a natural oasis ideal for relaxation after your exploration. In the evening, you will be dropped off at the airport, marking the end of a memorable day.
