Day 2 Arusha-Tarangire | Meals: BLD
Meet your private driver guide this morning and depart to Tarangire National Park, arriving in time for lunch and an afternoon game drive.
At almost 1,100 square miles, Tarangire National Park is the sixth largest park in Tanzania. The park takes its name from the Tarangire River, which runs through the park. During the dry season, the river is a magnet to animals who come from miles away to quench their thirst.
Our Kuro is small and intimate - with just 6 safari tents - with a cosy mess area that draws inspiration from the Maasai. This is a classic bush camp of old - intelligently designed, nurturing, light of foot and at one with nature.
Kuro has an enchanting light touch style that brings together brilliance with resourceful creativity. Our interiors are made by the hands of skilful Tanzania artisans whether it be an ottoman clad in cow hide or a sheepskin rug, everything comes together to create a light and immersive space. There is always somewhere to curl up with a pair of binos to watch to wild world go by.

Day 3 Tarangire | Meals: BLD
Tarangire hosts a wide array of wildlife, including large herds of elephants, along with migratory wildebeest and zebra. Tarangire is also a great place to spot the fringe-eared oryx and long-necked gerenuk. Birdlife is prolific in the park - more than 550 bird species have been spotted in the park. In fact, Tarangire is known as hosting the most breeding species in one habitat anywhere in the world. If you are looking for the Big Cats, check out the trees. You might spot a leopard snoozing in the branchs of the sausage tree.

Day 4 Tarangire-Ngorongoro | Meals: BLD
Leave Tarangire and stop in Lake Manyara for a morning game drive.
Lake Manyara National Park, located in northern Tanzania, is a stunning wildlife sanctuary renowned for its diverse ecosystems and breathtaking scenery. The park covers approximately 330 square kilometers, with nearly two-thirds of its area occupied by the alkaline Lake Manyara, a haven for thousands of flamingos and other waterbirds. The park's rich landscape ranges from dense groundwater forests and open savannahs to acacia woodlands and dramatic escarpments of the Great Rift Valley. It is famous for its tree-climbing lions, large elephant herds, and a variety of other wildlife, including giraffes, zebras, hippos, and baboons. Birdwatchers are particularly drawn to the park due to its impressive avian diversity, boasting over 400 bird species.
After lunch, continue to your lodge on the rim of Ngorongoro Crater.
Here, we define our own Ngorongoro, off the beaten track, in Maasai territory. Following one of the world's most stunning private drives, we bring you up to a dizzying edge of elemental Africa with panoramic views spinning forward into the Crater and back to the Serengeti plains. This is much more than a great vantage point for visiting the Crater, this is where we live the Ngorongoro life.
There is surely no truer way to appreciate the magnitude and wonder of the Ngorongoro Crater, than from Entamanu where it's done entirely on your own terms and schedules. Our deliciously cosy homestead on the Crater rim This sustainably built camp is a refuge from the formidable elements that surround it. Just 7 cottages, all with verandahs and views into the Crater.

Day 5 Ngorongoro | Meals: BLD
We begin early this morning as we descend from the rim of the crater to the floor below for some exciting game viewing. Ngorongoro was formed several million years ago when a volcano exploded and collapsed on itself. Today, it hosts more than 25,000 animals, including plains game like wildebeest, buffalo, eland and Grant's gazelle. Of course, with the abundance of food, predators like lion, cheetah and hyena are not far behind. With luck, you might also spot black rhino. Around midday you'll find a shady spot to enjoy a picnic box lunch. Return to your lodge late this afternoon.

Day 6 Ngorongoro-Serengeti | Meals: BLD
Drive to the Manyara Airstrip where you bid your private driver-guide farewell and board your included light aircraft flight to the Serengeti.
The Serengeti is the largest park in Tanzania and it plays host the largest migration on earth. Keep your game viewing list handy as you will likely spot lion, wildebeest, zebra, gazelles, giraffes and much more.
After lunch, head out for a game drive in a camp vehicle on a shared basis.
To get as close as possible to the migration is our sole obsession. A million and a half wildebeest and zebra can't be wrong, and this camp never settles for less. This canvas home-from-home and its indomitable crew are on the move year-in, year-out from one sweet Serengeti site to another, guided by the mass movements of the wildebeest migration and their quest for ever greener grass. Along with it come our highly trained naturalist guides and all the trimmings of a classic safari.
This harmonious little canvas camp has everything you need and nothing that you don't. With six canvas tents, bucket showers, an open mess, character, and comfort in spades you're sure to experience the Serengeti and migration in true safari style.

Day 7 & 8 Serengeti | Meals: BLD
Two full days of game viewing will fly by in the Serengeti. Watch the kopjes (small hills) for cheetah - it's a favorite spot for them to hunt their prey. Along with learning about the amazing wildlife, your guides will also tell you about the plant and insect life of the Serengeti - each playing a role in the delicate eco-system. One of the most common trees you'll see in the Serengeti is the Sausage tree - easily spotted by the long fruits (which are poisonous) that hang from the tree and release their seeds as the pulp rots. The Maasai believe if you hang a sausage tree fruit in their hut it will ward off whirlwinds.
