The driving distances and times for the key legs of the journey are as follows:
Upon arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport or Arusha Airport, you will be met by your safari guide and transferred to your hotel in Arusha.

After breakfast, your guide will pick you up from your hotel, and you’ll begin your journey to Lake Manyara National Park. The drive takes approximately 2-3 hours, offering scenic views of the Tanzanian countryside. Upon arrival, check into your lodge and have lunch. In the afternoon, embark on a game drive in Lake Manyara National Park, known for its diverse wildlife and stunning landscapes. Keep an eye out for tree-climbing lions, elephants, and flamingos.

After breakfast, depart for the world-renowned Serengeti National Park. The drive takes about 4-5 hours, with a stop at Olduvai Gorge, one of the most important paleoanthropological sites in the world. Upon arrival in Serengeti, check into your lodge or camp and have lunch. In the afternoon, enjoy a game drive in the vast plains of Serengeti, home to the Great Migration and a plethora of wildlife. Return to your lodge for dinner and overnight stay.
Spend the entire day exploring the Serengeti. After an early breakfast, embark on a full-day game drive to maximize your chances of witnessing the incredible wildlife. Depending on the season, you may see the Great Migration, with millions of wildebeests, zebras, and gazelles moving across the plains. The Serengeti is also home to predators such as lions, cheetahs, and leopards. Enjoy a picnic lunch in the park and continue your adventure in the afternoon.
