Tarangire • Ngorongoro • Serengeti • Grumeti River
Your adventure begins in Arusha before heading into the wilderness of Tarangire National Park, famous for its enormous elephant herds, ancient baobab trees and incredible variety of wildlife. Spend two nights at the beautiful Tarangire Simba Lodge, with game drives offering opportunities to encounter lions, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, antelope and hundreds of bird species.
Next, discover the spectacular Ngorongoro Crater, one of Africa's greatest wildlife destinations. Descend approximately 600 metres into this extraordinary natural amphitheatre and search for black rhino, lions, elephants, hippos, buffalo, zebra and vast herds of wildebeest and gazelle, including a full-day safari with a picnic lunch on the crater floor.
Then it's time for the legendary Serengeti. Explore the Central and Northern Serengeti, regions renowned for their exceptional concentrations of lions, cheetahs and leopards. Travelling in mid-June, we'll experience the Serengeti as it transitions into the dry season, while the Great Migration moves through the ecosystem on its incredible journey north.
You'll stay at two spectacular Serengeti properties. Serengeti Explorer offers contemporary luxury, private verandas and an infinity pool overlooking the endless plains, while Kirawira Serena Camp provides an elegant classic safari experience high above the Serengeti.
One of the tour's major highlights is our journey towards the Grumeti River, where we'll spend a full day searching for migrating wildebeest and zebra, big cats, hippos and enormous crocodiles. With the right timing and conditions, we may even witness the breathtaking spectacle of a wildebeest river crossing.
Along the way, you'll also experience Tanzania's rich culture with a visit to a Maasai village, as well as discovering the fascinating story behind one of the world's rarest gemstones at the Tanzanite Museum.
From elephants beneath ancient baobabs and black rhinos in Ngorongoro, to lions on the Serengeti plains and the possibility of witnessing the Great Migration at the Grumeti River, this is an unforgettable journey through the very best of Tanzania.

Welcome to Tanzania
Arrive in Tanzania – Kilimanjaro/Arusha – Gran Meliá Arusha
Your Tanzanian adventure begins the moment you arrive in Africa!
Upon landing at Kilimanjaro International Airport or Arusha Airport, you will be warmly welcomed by your Australian tour leader, Brady Mountford, along with our friendly and experienced local drivers. From here, we will make our way to the vibrant safari city of Arusha in one of our comfortable safari Land Cruisers.
Our home for the first night is the spectacular Gran Meliá Arusha, one of the city's premier luxury hotels and the perfect place to begin your Tanzanian safari. Set within beautifully landscaped coffee and tea plantations, the hotel provides a peaceful oasis in the heart of Arusha, with impressive views towards Mount Meru, Tanzania's second-highest mountain.
After your journey, the remainder of the afternoon and evening is yours to relax and settle into your luxurious surroundings. Take a refreshing dip in the outdoor swimming pool, unwind with a drink overlooking the gardens, enjoy a treatment at the spa, or simply relax in your beautifully appointed room and recover from the long journey.
If you're feeling energetic, you can explore the hotel's grounds or enjoy the views of Mount Meru. For those who would rather take it easy, there's no better way to start your African adventure than by slowing down, enjoying a drink and taking in the atmosphere of Tanzania.
When it comes to dinner, you are spoilt for choice. Gran Meliá features several dining options, including Saba Saba, offering local and international flavours, The Grill, specialising in grilled meats, seafood and other evening dishes, and The Rooftop, where you can enjoy food and drinks while taking in spectacular views towards Mount Meru. There is also a pool bar, café and room service available.
Dinner is not included tonight, giving you the freedom to choose where and what you would like to eat.
Tonight, as you relax in one of Arusha's finest hotels, the excitement really begins to build. Tomorrow, we leave the city behind and head into the heart of Tanzania's spectacular wilderness, where incredible landscapes and some of Africa's most iconic wildlife await.
