On arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport, you will be met and welcomed by our Gusa Travel guide and transfer to Arusha, a journey that takes approximately 1h30m.

Day 2: Arusha National Park
After breakfast at your accommodation, your exciting excursion begins. With a picnic lunch, you will drive to Arusha National Park, one of Northern Tanzania’s smallest parks but one with an abundance of options for wildlife viewing. It takes around 1h45m to drive from Arusha to the park, and once you arrive, your guide will locate an ideal location for you to admire the picturesque views of Mount Kilimanjaro, the roof of Africa. Treat yourself with a good view of the Ngurdoto crater famously known as “mini Ngorongoro”, the Momella and Tululisa lakes, the Fig tree arch together with a variety of wildlife species like buffaloes, warthogs, elephants, birds, and good number of primates.
You will have lunch in one of the picnic sites close to Momella lake with the beautiful vista of hippos and water birds. After lunch you will continue search for game viewing opportunities in other parts of the park.
As evening draws close you will depart the park and drive to your accommodation to rest before dinner.

Day 3: Maasai Village/ Mto wa Mbu Cultural Activities
Today after breakfast, you will drive to a Maasai Boma to experience “a day in Maasai Boma”.

You will learn the norms and customs of one of the most authentic tribes in East Africa, their songs, meals and how they do their normal daily activities.
You will then proceed to Mto wa Mbu for a hot local lunch, a very good opportunity to explore Tanzanian dishes. You can also test a local banana beer to add a unique taste of local flavor.
After lunch, you will drive to the lodge for dinner and overnight.
Accommodation: Sumawe Suite
Day 4: Ngorongoro Crater – Serengeti National Park
After breakfast you will depart with picnic lunch and heard to Ngorongoro crater. Explore wildlife in the self-contained ecosystem of Ngorongoro crater.
This is a land of multiple uses where wild animals and human beings have managed to co-exist together in harmony. You will drive more than 600 meters deep to Ngorongoro crater, a fallen mountain believed to erode more than millions of years ago. You will have game drive to search for various animals from endangered black rhinos, lions, buffaloes, elephants, gazelles, warthogs, hippos, zebras, waterbucks, hyenas, jackals, to large flocks of flamingos along Lake Magadi. In the afternoon you will ascend the crater and drive to Serengeti National Park via Ngorongoro conservation Area with game enroute. You will witness spectacular view of Ngorongoro highlands as you drive towards the endless plains. While waiting for your guide to complete the gate formalities, you can climb up a giant kopje to get a better view of the vast savanna that extends to the horizon. These large rocks serve as habitat for various species of flora and wildlife that are unique to these strange-looking stone formations. You will get to the camp in good time for check-in and rest a bit before dinner.
Accommodation: Tanzania Bush Camp
Day 5: Full Day Serengeti National Park

Talk to your guide on what you want to see as every area of the Serengeti has something special to offer. Whether it’s witnessing a rhino amble through the bush near Kopjes, spying on a wild dog, or gasping as you watch a huge cat hunt its meal.
