Arusha National Park
An Arusha National Park day trip is the most underrated thing on the northern circuit, and it is forty-five minutes...
ViewThe northern circuit at a sensible pace, opening with a day in Arusha National Park while you shake off the flight. Seven days is enough to see Tarangire's elephant, spend two nights in the Serengeti, and still get an unhurried morning on the Ngorongoro crater floor before you fly home. It is the trip we recommend to most first-time visitors who cannot spare a full ten days.
Met at arrivals and driven to Arusha, about an hour and a quarter. Evening briefing with your guide, who will also check your kit.
A full day forty-five minutes from town: the Ngurdoto crater rim, the Momella lakes, and a walking safari with an armed ranger. A gentle first day that solves jet lag.
Two hours south, then an afternoon game drive along the Tarangire River among the baobabs and the elephant herds.
A long, worthwhile drive across the Ngorongoro highlands, past Olduvai Gorge, arriving in the central Serengeti for a late-afternoon drive.
A full day in the Seronera valley, out at first light. This is the most reliable big-cat country in Tanzania.
A morning drive on the way out, then east to the crater rim for the night, with the caldera below you.
Down onto the crater floor early, several hours among the Big Five, then up and back to Kilimanjaro for your flight.
