05 Days safari itinerary;
On arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport, you will be picked up with our office representative/Driver Guide, having short brief and then transferred to the hotel for your dinner and overnight. From Arusha with lunch boxes to Tarangire for a game drive and later overnight at Karatu.
Stay at the lodge in Karatu; Karatu is a small town based on 30 minutes drive from the Ngorongoro Crater Rim with typical weather of the Ngorongoro forest.
Today you will have an early start as you head to the Ngorongoro Crater to explore one of the new 7 Natural Wonders of Africa. The Ngorongoro Crater is one of the few areas in Tanzania where you can find such a breathtaking blend of scenery and wildlife in a relatively small area by African standards! The crater is the largest unbroken caldera in the world (that’s not a lake!) and was formed about 2.5 million years ago when a large volcano, rivalling Kilimanjaro in size, erupted and collapsed on itself. There are around 30,000 animals ranging from leopard, cheetah, elephants and hyena to warthog, buffalo and impala. It’s also one of the best places to see the endangered black rhino and black-manned male lions.
Overnight in the lodge or Tented Camp in Ndutu, which is our main focus on this migration safari in Tanzania.

Others tips
- Bring soft luggage such as a duffel bag, hiking pack or sports bag. These are ideal for packing into a safari vehicle. Hard suitcases can often be difficult to fit into the vehicles.
- Bring a backpack to carry all of your important items including travel documents, money, camera, medication etc. You should keep this backpack with you at all times.
- Keep luxury items such as hair dryers/ straighteners, expensive jewellery, make up and bulky toiletries to an absolute minimum. If in doubt, leave them out.
- If you plan to bring cash, divide it into different areas of your carry-on luggage, wallet and money belt just in case something happens to one of those carry items.
- Leave some space in your luggage for the all-important souvenirs that you will probably buy. There are places where you can send packages home via DHL etc, however this can sometimes be an expensive option.
