Day By Day Itinerary
7-Day Mid-Range Tanzania Safari & Materuni Waterfalls Adventure
For Real Adventure
DAY 1: Arusha – Tarangire National Park
After breakfast, your professional safari guide will pick you up from your hotel in Arusha for a short safari briefing before departing towards Tarangire National Park, approximately a two-hour drive away. Tarangire is renowned for its massive elephant populations, ancient baobab trees, and the Tarangire River, which serves as the primary water source for wildlife during the dry season. The park offers excellent opportunities to spot elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, buffaloes, impalas, warthogs, and predators such as lions and leopards. You will enjoy a picnic lunch inside the park while overlooking the beautiful wilderness before continuing your afternoon game drive. As the sun begins to set, you’ll leave the park and drive to your comfortable lodge in Karatu for dinner and an overnight stay.
Meals: Lunch & Dinner Accommodation: Marera Valley Lodge (or similar)
DAY 2: Karatu – Central Serengeti National Park
After an early breakfast, you’ll begin your journey towards the world-famous Serengeti National Park. En route, you’ll pass through the beautiful Ngorongoro Conservation Area, where the scenery changes dramatically from lush highlands to endless savannah plains. After enjoying a picnic lunch, you’ll continue with an extensive afternoon game drive, searching for lions, cheetahs, leopards, elephants, giraffes, hippos, crocodiles, and countless antelope species. Later in the afternoon, you’ll arrive at your tented camp located in the heart of the Serengeti.

After breakfast, you’ll embark on a full-day game drive with a picnic lunch, giving you maximum time to search for the Big Five and witness the park’s abundant wildlife. Depending on the season, you may encounter the Great Migration, where thousands of wildebeests and zebras move across the plains in search of fresh grazing. Your experienced guide will use their knowledge to locate exciting wildlife sightings while sharing fascinating information about animal behavior and the Serengeti ecosystem. Return to camp in the evening for dinner beneath the African sky.

The crater is home to an extraordinary concentration of animals, including lions, elephants, buffaloes, zebras, wildebeests, hyenas, hippos, flamingos, and the endangered black rhinoceros. Enjoy a picnic lunch beside the hippo pool while surrounded by spectacular scenery before continuing your afternoon game drive across the crater floor.
