Itinerary — Day by Day (Experiential Focus)
Day 1 — Arrival and Tarangire Introduction
Arrive at Kilimanjaro International Airport and transfer to Tarangire National Park. Tarangire is famed for its ancient baobab trees and large elephant herds. After settling into Tarangire Simba Lodge, enjoy a private game drive in the late afternoon when wildlife is active and the light is soft for photography. Dinner at the lodge features locally inspired cuisine and a chance to discuss the next day’s plans with your guide.
Day 2 — Tarangire to Lake Manyara
Early morning game drive in Tarangire to catch sunrise over the baobabs and plains. After breakfast, transfer to Lake Manyara region. Lake Manyara National Park is renowned for its tree-climbing lions and flocks of pink flamingos. Enjoy a guided game drive with opportunities for birdwatching and close-up wildlife encounters. Overnight at Karatu Simba Lodge with full-board service.
Day 3 — Serengeti Arrival and First Serengeti Game Drive
Depart Karatu after breakfast and fly or drive (depending on your preference and logistics) to the Serengeti. On arrival, check into Serengeti Simba Lodge and embark on your first Serengeti game drive. The Serengeti’s vast plains are home to Africa’s Big Cats and, depending on timing, the Great Migration. Your private Somak driver-guide will position you for the best sightings and photographic opportunities.
Day 4 — Full Day Serengeti Exploration
A full day in the Serengeti allows for dawn and dusk drives, picnic lunches in the bush, and the chance to track predators and witness dramatic wildlife interactions. The Serengeti’s scale and biodiversity make every drive unique. Return to Serengeti Simba Lodge for dinner and stargazing.
Day 5 — Ngorongoro Crater Descent
Depart the Serengeti and travel to Karatu for an overnight stay at Karatu Simba Lodge. The highlight is a descent into the Ngorongoro Crater—an immense, 100-square-mile World Heritage site with concentrated game viewing. The crater floor’s grasslands and waterholes attract a dense variety of species, including the elusive black rhino. Enjoy a private game drive and a picnic lunch within the crater before returning to Karatu for your final night.

After breakfast, transfer to Kilimanjaro International Airport for your return flights via Doha to Heathrow. Reflect on a transformative safari experience that blends luxury, adventure, and conservation-minded travel.
