DAY 1:
Arrive Arusha
Arusha
Africa is calling and we're ready to explore. As soon as you land at Kilimajaro Airport, you'll jump straight on the transfer to Arusha. You'll be greeted by a Contiki rep, who will deliver you to your hotel to drop off your bags and meet your crew. Feel that anticipation bubble over as your Trip Manager runs through the plan for the ultimate 7 days of African adventure ahead of you.
Arusha
DAY 2:
Arusha to Tarangire
Arusha
We start the day with a hot breakfast at the hotel before meeting our local guides and jumping into the safari vehicles. We'll have a chance to stop and pick up any last minute items we might need on our adventure en route to our lodge.
Tarangire
After lunch, you're free to relax and hang around the pool in the heat of the midday sun before we depart on an afternoon game drive in Tarangire National Park, known for its giant Baobab trees and equally huge herds of elephant. Dinner is a generous buffet spread back at the lodge.
NO REGRETS INCLUSIONS
Afternoon game drive in Tarangire National Park
DAY 3:
Tarangire
Tarangire
An early start this morning will take us back into the Tarangire National Park for a full day, in the hopes for a glimpse of some of its elusive predators and changing landscapes. We'll either stay the whole day here with a packed lunch provided, or head back to the lodge to enjoy a hot lunch and a swim in the pool. Save some room for our buffet dinner tonight.

Tarangire
DAY 4:
Tarangire to Serengeti
Tarangire
After breakfast we'll set out in our safari vehicles to our next destination: the Serengeti.
Serengeti
We take in views of the Rift valley and the rim of Ngorogoro Crater as we make our way to the main gate of the Serengeti, stopping off to visit Mto Wa Mbu Village and a local market. We'll drive through the endless plains of this vast reserve to reach our accommodation for the night. Tonights accommodation will be a safari-style lodge in the middle of the Serengeti. A buffet meal will be served for dinner, and you're free to sit outside and listen to the sounds of nocturnal animals waking up to forage or hunt, all while sitting under the bright canopy of stars in the African sky.

Special Stopover: Serengeti Luxury camping
DAY 5:
Serengeti
Serengeti
We'll spend a full day seeking out the game of Africa's plains, with predators in hot pursuit of their prey. If the Wildebeest migration is around, then you are in for a wildlife treat: millions of wildebeest and zebra grazing for as far as the eye can see really is one of Africas' greatest spectacles to observe. If you want to make today even more unforgettable, you can opt in for a once-in-a-lifetime Balloon safari. A buffet dinner awaits us back at camp.

Serengeti
Enjoy some breakfast before we depart the Serengeti with a morning game drive on our way to our next destination, the Ngorogoro Crater.
Ngorogoro Crater
In the late morning we reach the Ngorogoro Crater, an ancient volcano, boasting one of the highest densities of predators stalking the abundant wildlife enclosed inside the volcano's centre. We'll stop here for a picnic lunch before we ascend the plateau. A true natural wonder, only found in Africa.

DAY 7:
Ngorogoro Crater to Arusha
Ngorogoro Crater
Our final breakfast will be provided at the hotel before we set off. It's your last chance to do some souvenir shopping this morning, before we enjoy a final spectacular view of the Great Rift Valley on our way back to Arusha.

ACCOMMODATION
6 nights:
We'll stay in a comfy hotel in Arusha on our first night, then the rest of the time we're going full safari experience in African lodges. This is doing Africa in style in twin share raised canvas tents with full bathrooms, patios and all the amenities you would expect of a hotel room. While we're in the Serengeti, you're in for a treat with a night of luxury camping out under the African stars.
TEAM
A highly trained Trip Manager who brings your adventure to life. An expert driver who knows foreign roads better than Google Maps. Local Guides who make tourist traps a thing of the past. This is your team. Smart, friendly, fun, and integral to everything we do.
FOOD
16 meals:
Being on safari sure works up an appetite. We'll provide breakfast every day, plus 5 lunches and 5 dinners. That's a big stack of included meals, and when we are eating at the lodge, it's always buffets! Choose what you want and how much you want from local to global cuisines. We'll even throw in some picnic lunches or breakfasts for when we are exploring on game drives or driving between lodges. The rest of the time, there's a chance for you to taste the local cuisine.
NO REGRETS INCLUSIONS
When it comes to Tanzania, we include almost everything! On safari, your morning and afternoon game drives with local guides are included. The National Parks we take you to are some of the best Africa has to offer for viewing the Big 5.
FREE TIME ADD-ONS
This is your chance to experience the magic of a Balloon Safari. Drifting silently over the rumbling herds of elephant and giraffe as the sun rises over the horizon and the animals start waking up for the day, the balloon safari is a highlight of any trip to Africa. With manoeuvrability to float just a metre above the tree tops or high in the sky to gaze as far as the eye can see, this activity gives you a view of Africa no other experience can.
TRANSPORT
Africa isn't the easiest land to traverse, but we know this wild continent better than most. Whether it's speedy internal flights, air conditioned coaches or open top safari vehicles, our included transport will speed you from A-B in comfort, safety and style.
