Your exclusive 5 pearls private safari begins within sight of Mount Kilimanjaro and its little brother, Mount Meru in Arusha National Park. Tarangire National Park, home to the largest elephant population in the country, is the 2nd pearl on your trip. The highlight of your safari is undoubtedly the Serengeti. On the way there, you will have countless opportunities for exciting animal and impressive nature observations. During a visit to a Maasai village, you will have the opportunity to learn more about the everyday life and culture of this ethnic group. On the second day in the Serengeti, you will experience one of those sunrises for which the Serengeti is famous worldwide. The way back from the Serengeti leads us to the Ngorongoro Highlands. Under the guidance of a trained ranger, you can explore the flora and fauna on a guided walking safari, or enjoy the rest of the day at your accommodation. During a game drive in the Ngorongoro Crater the next day, you will be looking for the “Big Five” you have not yet seen in front of your lens. Before your safari comes to an end, we will visit Manyara National Park, which some call “the most beautiful garden in Africa”. The Lake Manyara National Park is the only park in northern Tanzania famous for its lions resting in the trees.

Arusha, located at the foot of Mount Meru, is a vibrant and culturally rich city that serves as a gateway to some of East Africa’s most famous destinations. Known as the “Safari Capital of Tanzania”. The town offers a unique blend of modern amenities and traditional charm. Visitors can explore the bustling Maasai Market for authentic handicrafts, sample delicious Tanzanian cuisine at local restaurants, or soak up the city’s friendly atmosphere over a cup of original Tanzanian Arabica coffee. The Cultural Heritage Centre provides information about the past and present of Tanzania’s more than 120 ethnic groups.
Today we welcome you at Arusha Kilimanjaro Airport. Your guide and driver will take you to your first accommodation. We will accompany you to check in, discuss travel planning, and answer your questions.
Arusha National Park is Tanzania’s smallest national park at the gates of Arusha. It covers an area of around 542 square kilometers and is known for its diverse landscapes, which include Mount Meru, Ngurdoto Crater, and Momella Lakes. At certain times, thousands of flamingos populate the lakes, which are surrounded by lush meadows and forests. The park offers you vegetation systems that are not seen in other northern national parks in the country. Experience tropical rainforest, savannah landscapes, and alpine vegetation zones. Hollywood did not choose this region for the film “Hatari” with John Wayne and Hardy Krüger without reason. More than 400 species of exotic birds and a variety of mammals are at home here, such as the rare black and white colobus monkeys, vervet monkeys, and the world’s largest giraffe population, to name just a few
After a relaxed breakfast, you will spend the whole day on a game drive in the nearby Arusha National Park. After our game drive, you will end the day at the pool of your lodge.
Tarangire is Tanzania’s fifth-largest national park on the edge of the Great Rift Valley. The landscape consists of low hills with sparse acacia forests, huge baobab trees, and savannah grasslands. The Tarangire River is the main water source of the park and is ideal for wildlife viewing of all kinds. Herds of wildebeest, buffalo, elephant, zebra, giraffe, hippos, and many antelopes are waiting to be photographed by you. You might even get the well-camouflaged leopard in front of your lens with luck and good eyes.
After an early breakfast, we make our way to Tarangire National Park on well-maintained roads. You will be there on a game drive until the afternoon. We use the Tarangire as a stopover on your way to the Serengeti. In Tarangire, you will get more fascinating impressions of the varied landscapes and the richness of African wildlife. At lunchtime, we drive to a picnic area and enjoy the contents of our lunch box. Don’t let the cute little monkeys steal your food while you let your gaze wander over the impressive landscape. After our game drive in Tarangire, you will spend the night in a camp in the middle of the national park
The Serengeti is a vast and impressive expanse of grasslands, savannahs, and forests that is home to one of the world’s greatest natural spectacles. The Serengeti is famous for its annual great migration, with millions of wildebeest and other herbivores crossing the plains in search of fresh grazing land. It offers safari enthusiasts a front-row seat to this unique natural phenomenon. The Serengeti promises an unforgettable adventure, where visitors experience the untamed beauty of the African wilderness from a close-up level you wouldn’t expect.
The journey to the Serengeti takes place over forested heights in the Ngorongoro Highlands. We follow the crater rim to a viewpoint where you can take your first photos of the crater. Our destination today is the Central Serengeti.
On our way to the Serengeti, we will make a stop and visit a traditional Maasai village, where you will be greeted with singing and the famous jumping dance of the young warriors.
On game drives in the Serengeti, you will get closer to African wildlife than in any zoo in the world. When you visit the hippos loitering in the pond, you can expect breathtaking encounters.
You will spend the night in the middle of the wilderness. Tented camps that are modeled after the style of accommodations of previous explorers. In this atmosphere, you will enjoy the highest level of comfort and service. Who wouldn’t think of “Out of Africa” now?
Over the last few days, you will have countless opportunities for spectacular wildlife photos. You will enjoy the magic of the Serengeti with its unique landscape and an incredible variety of African wildlife up close that you will not find in any zoo. With an optional hot air balloon ride, you can add another highlight to your safari and experience a sunrise like you’ll only find in the Serengeti.
Be prepared to get up early this morning. At dawn, we will leave the Serengeti for the Ngorongoro Crater. Rising early for your morning game drive will be rewarded with lions and other nocturnal prey hunters that you will see as they return from their long night of hunting
Walking safari in the afternoon on day 7
After arrival at the Ngorongoro crater rim, an optional hike takes you through vegetation areas that are unique to the Ngorongoro Highlands. Accompanied by an armed ranger, you will experience the proximity of giraffes, zebras, and elephants on foot from a different perspective than from a safari vehicle.
The Ngorongoro Crater is one of seven UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Tanzania. The 610-meter-deep “crater” is a 260-square-kilometer caldera, it is often referred to as the “eighth wonder of the world” and is undoubtedly the main attraction of the nature reserve. The crater basin is the habitat of about 25,000 large mammals all year round. Among them are the so-called Big Five.
Nowhere in Africa is the probability of encountering these animals greater than here. The so-called “largest zoo in the world” is also a habitat for cheetahs, hyenas, servals, zebras, gazelles, wildebeests, hippos, monkeys, and the rare black rhinoceros, as well as bird species such as crowned cranes, eagles, pelicans, ostriches, and flamingos.
After an early breakfast and a short drive, we descend into the crater. With a bit of luck, you will have the opportunity to take photos of the rare black rhinos today. However, you will look in vain for giraffes. They do not succeed in climbing up into the highlands and the crater.
After a warm lunch at Lake Magadi, we make our way to Lake Manyara, our safari destination for tomorrow, in the afternoon
The area around the eponymous Lake Manyara provides habitat for thousands of pink flamingos, other waterfowl, and over 300 other tropical bird species. The landscape varies between groundwater and acacia forests, open grasslands, and marshlands. You will encounter large troupes of baboons, and look out for elephants, giraffes, impalas, bushbucks, waterbucks, warthogs, and blue monkeys in the green of the forests. With a bit of luck, you will see lions resting in acacia trees. A behavior for which the park’s lions are famous.
You’ll find that wildlife is less present in Manyara than in the parks you’ve visited so far. This is where your ability to observe, search, and find is required. With a little spirit of discovery, you can spot the park’s animals in the green of the forests. Our guide will certainly pay you a visit to the “Hippo Pool”. Before you see the impressive natural spectacle of the hippos frolicking, you will smell that you are close to your destination. A safari is an experience for all the senses. After a lunch break under acacia umbrellas, during which you will enjoy the warm lunch one last time, we will make our way back to Arusha.
