Upon landing at Kilimanjaro International Airport, a Leviva Travel and Tours guide will be waiting. A short drive leads to your lodge in Arusha, where you can rest after your journey. If time allows, a city tour can be arranged.

After breakfast, drive to Tarangire National Park, home to large elephant herds and ancient baobab trees. The Tarangire River attracts wildlife throughout the year, making it a great spot for game viewing. Lions, leopards, and a variety of antelopes roam the park. Spend the day exploring before heading to your lodge or tented camp for the night.

A short drive takes you to Lake Manyara National Park, known for tree-climbing lions and large flocks of flamingos. The park’s mix of forest, savanna, and the alkaline lake creates a diverse habitat for wildlife. Watch for elephants moving through the trees, hippos wallowing in the water, and baboons in the forest. After a full day, settle in at your lodge near the Rift Valley escarpment.

Head toward the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, stopping at viewpoints overlooking the crater. Descend into the caldera, a natural enclosure packed with wildlife, including the Big Five. Lions rest in the grasslands, rhinos graze in the open, and hippos cool off in the pools. After a day in this remarkable setting, drive to your accommodation on the crater rim or nearby.

An early transfer to the airstrip for a flight to the southern Serengeti. This region is a key part of the Great Migration, with thousands of wildebeests and zebras spread across the plains. Upon landing, a game drive offers a chance to see predators like cheetahs and lions following the herds. Spend the night at a lodge or tented camp in the heart of the migration.

Before sunrise, head to the launch site for the Serengeti balloon safari. Float above the plains as the sun rises, watching the migration from a new perspective. Wildebeests move in massive numbers, while giraffes and elephants wander below. After landing, celebrate with a bush breakfast before continuing with game drives in the Serengeti. Return to your camp or lodge in the evening.

Spend the day exploring different areas of the Serengeti, following migration routes and tracking predators. The central and southern regions are prime spots for lion sightings, and open plains offer a chance to see cheetahs in action. With endless landscapes and abundant wildlife, each game drive is unique. Overnight in the Serengeti.

A final morning game drive before heading to the airstrip for a flight back to Arusha. Upon arrival, transfer to your lodge for a relaxing afternoon. Depending on your schedule, explore local markets or enjoy the lodge’s surroundings.

Depending on your flight time, there may be time for a leisurely breakfast or last-minute shopping. Transfer to the airport for your departure, bringing an end to the safari.
