Your journey begins with a morning departure from Arusha as you travel to Tarangire National Park — famous for its mighty elephants and ancient baobab trees. A full day of game viewing awaits, with sightings of lions, giraffes, and migratory birds among the dry riverbeds and savannahs. Enjoy a bush lunch and arrive in the late afternoon at your charming midrange lodge or tented camp, where you’ll relax with sundowners and a hearty dinner.
After breakfast, drive across the Ngorongoro highlands toward the endless plains of the Serengeti, Tanzania’s most iconic park. Along the way, spot wildlife and breathtaking scenery. By midday, arrive in central Serengeti for your first thrilling game drive in the land of lions, leopards, and cheetahs. Settle into your midrange tented camp and enjoy a night under the stars, surrounded by the wild’s calls.
Spend the entire day exploring the Serengeti’s diverse ecosystems. Depending on the season, witness the Great Migration or encounter resident wildlife like buffaloes, hyenas, jackals, and elusive big cats. Enjoy a picnic lunch under an acacia tree or by a hippo pool before continuing your adventure. Return to camp for a cozy evening by the campfire and a delicious dinner.
After breakfast, embark on a final Serengeti game drive en route to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Stop at a Maasai village or Olduvai Gorge for a cultural or historical detour (optional). In the evening, arrive at a scenic midrange lodge on the crater rim or nearby highlands, where you’ll dine and rest with sweeping views of the lush surroundings.
Descend into the Ngorongoro Crater early in the morning for a spectacular safari on the caldera floor — home to the Big Five and some of Africa’s densest animal populations. Enjoy a picnic lunch near a hippo pool. In the afternoon, drive back to Arusha with a drop-off at your hotel or the airport, marking the end of your Simba Soul Destinations adventure.
