Itinerary - Day by Day

Day 1: From Arusha to the Majestic Tarangire

Your luxury safari begins as your personal Joyful Safaris And Tours guide collects you from your Arusha hotel. Settle into your custom 4×4 safari vehicle and enjoy a scenic two-hour drive to Tarangire National Park, famed for its dramatic landscapes and towering baobab trees.

Spend the day exploring this wildlife haven, home to large herds of elephants, graceful giraffes, elusive leopards, and vibrant birdlife. A gourmet lunch will be served inside the park.

Day 2: Serengeti Dreams – Into the Wild Plains

After breakfast, continue through the Ngorongoro Highlands toward the legendary Serengeti. Marvel at Maasai villages and volcanic landscapes before descending into the endless savannah.
