Arrive at Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO). Your Jayva African Adventures guide greets you with “Karibu Tanzania!” and transfers you to your lodge in Arusha or Karatu for a relaxed evening briefing.
Early morning departure to Tarangire, famous for its ancient baobab trees and huge elephant herds. Enjoy all‑day game drives with picnic lunch by the Tarangire River. Expect to see elephants, lions, leopards, buffalo, giraffes, and zebra in their natural habitat.
After breakfast, head to Lake Manyara, set in the Rift Valley. Home to tree‑climbing lions, flamingos, elephants, and rich birdlife. In the afternoon, drive onward to Serengeti, where the plains await.
Spend a full day game‑driving in Serengeti—spot lions, cheetahs, leopards, wildebeest, zebra, gazelles, and elephants across incredible open plains.
Descend into the Ngorongoro Crater—Africa’s largest intact volcanic caldera. Home to hippos, rhinos, lions, elephants, and vast birdlife. After breakfast, transfer back to Arusha or Kilimanjaro for your departure.
Tanzania boasts ~20% of Africa’s large mammal species, including the Big Five and the mass wildebeest migration.
The ideal safari window is during the dry seasons—June to October, or January-February—when wildlife is most concentrated around water sources.
