Land at Kilimanjaro International Airport where your Extenterra guide meets you for a private transfer to Arusha. Settle into your lodge, enjoy dinner, and receive a pre-safari briefing for the days ahead.
Morning flight to the Northern Serengeti — prime Mara River migration country. Afternoon game drive en route to camp as wildebeest, zebra, and predators begin to appear on the plains.
Dawn-to-dusk game drives along the Mara River and open plains. Track mega-herds and watch for lions, cheetahs, and crocodiles shaping the greatest wildlife show on earth.
A second full day to follow herd movements, photograph crossings if conditions align, and explore quieter valleys away from the busiest viewpoints.
Your third day in the north maximizes chances for river action and intimate predator sightings — patience and positioning are key with your guide’s local knowledge.
Scenic overland safari through the Serengeti heartland to Seronera — classic golden grasslands, granite kopjes, and year-round big cat territory.
Full day in Seronera searching for lion prides, leopards in riverine woodland, and cheetahs on the plains, with a bush picnic lunch.
Explore alternate Serengeti zones — Moru Kopjes, hippo pools, and elephant corridors — adapting to overnight sightings and seasonal concentrations.
Morning game drive, then ascend into the cool Ngorongoro highlands with Maasai landscapes and crater-rim views from your lodge.
Early descent into the Ngorongoro Crater for dense Big Five viewing, flamingos, and picnic lunch on the caldera floor; afternoon drive toward Tarangire.
Full day among giant baobabs and Tarangire River elephant herds; after sunset, a night game drive reveals rarely seen nocturnal species.
Guided walking safari with an armed ranger, then transfer to Lake Manyara at the Rift Valley escarpment for a softer, scenic finish.
Forest, lake shore, and birdlife — flamingos, hippos, and famous tree-climbing lions if luck is on your side — with a lakeside picnic.
Leisurely breakfast and private road transfer to JRO for your international flight, with time to reflect on two weeks of iconic Tanzanian wildlife.
