Day 1 Arrival In Arusha
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Arrival In Arusha

Welcome to Tanzania! You will be picked up from the airport by a African Polecat Safaris representative and driven to your accommodation in Arusha. Depending on your arrival time, you will hopefully have time to relax and prepare for the adventure of a lifetime!
Day 2 Arusha To Tarangire
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Arusha To Tarangire

After breakfast, your safari guide will pick you up from your accommodation. Today’s destination is Tarangire National Park, about a two-and-a-half-hour drive on well-maintained roads. The park, named after the Tarangire River, is vital as the main water source for wildlife during the dry season. Here, you’ll encounter elephant families, often gathering by the river. Keep an eye out for giraffes, bushbucks, and hartebeests, along with predators like lions and leopards. Tarangire boasts a diverse bird population, with more breeding species than anywhere else. Don’t miss the majestic Baobab trees, some over a thousand years old! Lunch will be at a picnic site within the park before heading to your luxury lodge in Mto wa Mbu after the game drive.

As the day draws to a close, we’ll head back to our accommodations at Figtree Budget Lodge
Day 3 Mto Wa Mbu To Serengeti National Park
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Mto Wa Mbu To Serengeti National Park

After breakfast, you will drive up into the cooler regions of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. There will be a chance to stop and see the spectacular Ngorongoro Crater. You will then transit through Ngorongoro Conservation Area to the Serengeti, entering the South of the park.

The Serengeti is truly spectacular. It is famous for its vast open grasslands which allow for excellent sightings of wildlife. Whilst it boasts abundant wildlife, it is perhaps best known for the annual Great Migration. Vast numbers of wildebeests, zebras and antelopes move in an annual pattern, constantly seeking fresh grazing. The migration can be found during any given month, you just need to know where to look! Depending on what time of year you come, you may get a chance to witness one of the ’Seven Wonders of the Natural World’.

You will have a picnic lunch and you will overnight at Seronera Campsites
Day 4 Serengeti To Ngorongoro Highlands
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Serengeti To Ngorongoro Highlands

Our day begins with an early sunrise game drive, as the park comes to life and nocturnal predators like lions finish their night hunts. After the morning game drive, we proceed back to your accommodation for breakfast. In the afternoon we will stop at Naabi Gate for lunch. After lunch proceed with a transit game viewing while heading to Ngorongoro Conservation Area for an overnight stay.

We arrive at Simba Campsite in the early evening, for dinner and overnight.
Day 5 Ngorongoro Crater Back To Arusha
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Ngorongoro Crater Back To Arusha

Get ready for an epic day of adventure! Our safari kicks off bright and early between 6:30-7:00 am as we descend into the Ngorongoro Crater. The earlier, the greater our chances of spotting the elusive black rhinos!

Picture yourself in the comfort of our open-roof 4x4 land cruiser, ready to explore the wonders of the Crater. Standing 600-650 meters high, it’s like stepping into a natural zoo! The landscape here changes with the seasons, offering scenes you’ll only find in Tanzania.

After a thrilling morning of wildlife encounters, we’ll pause for a picnic lunch by the famous hippo pool – a spot teeming with life and excitement. With satisfied appetites, we’ll embark on more game drives, soaking in the beauty of this unique ecosystem.
