The journey
Embark on an exciting and luxurious Tanzanian safari and explore the northern side of wildlife.
Day 01
Upon arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO), you’ll be met by your driver and transferred to Tarangire Ndovu Tented Camp. Located in the heart of Tarangire National Park, the camp offers an intimate experience in Tanzania's wild landscapes. Settle into your Tented Suite and enjoy a warm welcome in a region known for its massive elephant herds, baobab-studded horizons, and true wilderness charm.
Day 02
Today, embark on a full day of game drives through Tarangire National Park, famous for its large elephant herds, diverse wildlife, and striking baobab trees. Discover the quieter, yet more intriguing side of the Northern Circuit as you explore the park’s vast landscapes and search for its unique wildlife. Return to Tarangire Ndovu Tented Camp in the evening for a relaxing dinner under the stars.
Day 04
After a morning safari in Tarangire, transfer to Rhotia Valley Tented Lodge, situated on a hilltop near the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. The lodge provides spectacular views of the surrounding landscapes, blending African rural charm with a luxurious safari feel. Spend the evening unwinding on your private veranda and taking in the sights and sounds of the African wilderness.
Day 05
This morning, journey from Rhotia Valley to the renowned Serengeti National Park, where you’ll stay at Elewana Serengeti Pioneer Camp. Located in the Moru Kopjes area, the camp’s location provides excellent access to the annual migration and diverse wildlife, including the Big Five. In the afternoon, take your first game drive in the Serengeti and enjoy stunning views of the endless plains. Unwind in the camp’s luxury tents, designed to evoke the romance of the 1930s mobile safari era.
Day 06
Spend the day on a full-day game drive in Serengeti National Park, where you’ll have the opportunity to witness the great migration (seasonally dependent) and observe a wide range of wildlife. The breathtaking landscapes, teeming with wildlife and dotted with iconic kopjes, provide a setting like no other. Return to Elewana Serengeti Pioneer Camp for dinner, where the dining tent and ambiance will transport you back to a bygone safari era.
Day 07
Depart from Pioneer Camp and transfer to Pakalulu Safari Camp in central Serengeti, where you’ll enjoy another full afternoon of game viewing in the park’s iconic savannahs.

Spend your final evening in the Serengeti in the serene and authentic atmosphere of the camp.
