6-Day Elephant Safari Experience

Your driver-guide meets you at Kilimanjaro International Airport, welcomes you warmly to Tanzania and drives you by road to your hotel in Arusha.

After time to rest and refresh, one of our knowledgeable guides briefs you on the safari ahead, so you go to bed with a clear picture of the adventure to come. Stroll through the grounds and, on a clear day, catch the views of Mount Meru before dinner.

After a warm breakfast at your hotel in Arusha, you set off at around 08:00 for Tarangire National Park, a magnificent park known for its rare tree-climbing pythons and its outstanding game viewing.

This is elephant country. In the dry months, great numbers of animals gather along the Tarangire River, and the park's large elephant herds move between the ancient baobabs to drink and bathe. Spend the day exploring with your guide before continuing to your lodge for dinner and the night.

After breakfast at around 08:00, your driver-guide collects you for the journey to the Serengeti. On the way through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area you stop at a Maasai village for a joyful cultural encounter: watch the traditional dances, mingle with your hosts and join in if you are brave enough.

Continue into Serengeti National Park, game driving en route as the endless plains open up around you, and arrive at your camp for a freshly prepared dinner and a memorable first night in the wilderness.

Rise early for breakfast and an early-morning game drive in the Serengeti, a park of dramas and wonders that never seem to end. Watch the huge pods of hippos at the Retina hippo pool, large herds of elephants and big dazzles of zebras, and, if fortune smiles, perhaps a black rhino.

After a picnic lunch in the park, drive on to your camp in the Ngorongoro area for a memorable dinner and overnight stay.

After breakfast at around 08:00, your guide drives you down to the Ngorongoro Crater floor for a picture-perfect game drive. This is one of the best places in Tanzania to see black rhinos in the wild, along with large buffalo herds, flocks of pink flamingos, big lion prides and clans of spotted hyenas, among many other grazers and predators.

Enjoy a picnic lunch in the crater. In the late afternoon you climb out and head back towards Arusha, stopping at the Meserani snake park on the way, before dinner and your final night at your hotel.

After a hearty breakfast, and depending on your flight time, your driver-guide collects you from your hotel and transfers you comfortably to the airport for your international flight home.

Alternatively, extend your adventure with a flight to the beautiful island of Zanzibar. From all of us at Gip Adventure, we wish you a safe journey home full of lasting memories.
