9 Days Elephant Trail Safari

Arrive at Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO), where a representative from Tanzania Moja Adventure And Safaris Ltd, will warmly welcome you and transfer you to your hotel in Arusha.

Arusha National Park offers a unique introduction to Tanzania’s wildlife and landscapes. Despite its small size, the park features diverse scenery—from the rainforest slopes of Mount Meru to Momella Lakes and open savannah.
Accompanied by a professional armed ranger, embark on a 1.5-hour walking safari through acacia woodlands. You may encounter giraffes, bushbucks, warthogs, and buffalo from as close as 20–30 meters. Your ranger will share fascinating insights about animal behavior and the park’s ecosystem, ensuring a safe and memorable experience.
After the walk, continue your game drive to Momella Lakes, a birdwatcher’s paradise home to flamingos, pelicans, hornbills, vultures, and over 200 bird species. If you’re curious about conservation challenges, your guide can stop at the Ngurdoto Museum, where displays highlight the local human-wildlife conflicts.

Today, journey to Tarangire National Park, renowned for its huge elephant herds and ancient baobab trees. The Tarangire River draws animals from miles around, offering excellent chances to see giraffes, zebras, buffaloes, and lions.
During the dry season, elephants gather here in large numbers and are often surprisingly close to safari vehicles. Despite their size, they are generally calm and curious, making for incredible photo opportunities.
The park’s unique landscape, dotted with towering baobabs, creates stunning views and an unforgettable safari atmosphere.

Travel to Lake Manyara National Park, famous for the spectacular flocks of pink flamingos that sometimes turn the lakeshore into a shimmering pink carpet. The best viewing months are April through November, but flamingo presence can vary with weather and rainfall.
Besides flamingos, Lake Manyara boasts over 400 bird species, making it a haven for bird enthusiasts. The park is also home to elephants, giraffes, zebras, warthogs, and antelopes.
Look up! Many of Lake Manyara’s lions have a rare habit of resting in trees, giving you a unique chance to spot these majestic predators in the branches.

Prepare for an early start as you head to the legendary Ngorongoro Crater — a vast volcanic caldera teeming with wildlife. The drive down into the crater takes about 30 minutes through lush forest, with a stop at a lookout point offering breathtaking panoramic views.
Inside the crater, you'll find the densest concentration of wildlife anywhere on earth: elephants, lions, buffalo, zebras, antelopes, cheetahs, and rhinos roam its floor. Notably, giraffes cannot navigate the steep crater walls, so they are absent here.
Enjoy a picnic lunch by Lake Magadi, where hippos lounge and colorful birds such as kites may swoop close by. Remember to keep your food secure as the birds are quick and bold!
Important: Feeding wildlife is prohibited to protect their natural diet and well-being. This is enforced by park authorities.

Enter the world-famous Serengeti, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and home to abundant wildlife and the iconic Great Migration. Spend your day exploring Seronera, the central Serengeti region, known for its dense animal populations.
You’ll have excellent chances to see lions, elephants, giraffes, buffalo, zebras, and various antelope species. Keep an eye out for elusive cheetahs, serval cats, and other rare animals that make the Serengeti their home.

Continue your exploration of Seronera, venturing to new areas with your expert guide. Today offers more opportunities to spot rare species such as rhinos, leopards, serval cats, and caracals. The Serengeti’s vastness means every game drive is unique, so expect fresh sights and unforgettable wildlife encounters.

Spend your final morning in the Serengeti enjoying a last game drive. You might spot new behaviors or animals you’ve missed so far — lions on the move, curious elephants, or even a playful cheetah.
Admire the famous Kopjes — ancient volcanic rock formations beloved by wildlife as shady resting spots and excellent photo backdrops.
After lunch at a scenic picnic spot, begin your approximately six-hour journey back to Arusha, traveling through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area where you may spot baboons, elephants, and possibly cheetahs.
Arrive at your hotel in Arusha by evening for a restful night.

After breakfast, transfer to Kilimanjaro Airport for your onward flight.
Note: Hotel check-out is at 10:00 AM. Late check-out options are available upon request.
