Seven days through Tanzania's classical four — Tarangire, Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro — pacing fast where it should be fast, slow where it should be slow.
Your guide meets you airside at JRO with cold towels and ice water. Forty minutes to Arusha and a quiet welcome dinner under the jacaranda. Trip briefing over coffee in the morning.
Drive south to Tarangire by mid-morning. Afternoon game drive following the elephant herds along the dry river. Sundowners on the deck overlooking the swamp.
Pre-breakfast loop in the groundwater forest, then up the Rift escarpment with views back across the lake. Arrive Highlands by tea time.
Descend at dawn with packed breakfast. Six hours on the floor among black rhino, the Lake Magadi flamingos, and the densest pride of lions on earth.
Scenic drive across the Olduvai plain into the central Serengeti, kopje after kopje. Late afternoon drive in the Seronera river valley.
Full day in the migration herds (Jul–Oct). Position for a river crossing if conditions are right. Optional pre-dawn balloon flight.
Quiet morning drive, then a Cessna Caravan from the Seronera airstrip back to Arusha. Day room, hot shower, and a relaxed farewell dinner.
Late check-out. Your guide drives you back to JRO when ready.
