Highlights300+ elephant herds • Ancient baobab forests • Rare tree-climbing pythons.


Your adventure begins with a pickup from Arusha, where your Elpis guide greets you. Journey to Tarangire National Park, Tanzania’s “Elephant Playground,” where herds of up to 300 elephants roam freely. Marvel at iconic baobab trees and spot lions, zebras, and buffaloes. Pause for lunch in the park, then explore the marshy shores of Lake Burungi, a haven for giant kingfishers and vibrant birdlife. As dusk falls, retreat to your eco-friendly lodge for dinner under the stars.

HighlightsTree-climbing lions • 400+ bird species • Great Rift Valley vistas.


After breakfast, drive to Lake Manyara, nestled beneath the Great Rift Valley escarpment. Famous for lions lounging in acacia trees, this park dazzles with elephants, hippos, and flocks of pink flamingos along its soda lake. Traverse groundwater forests and open plains, capturing giraffes and baboons in action. By evening, transfer to Ngorongoro Conservation Area, where your lodge offers panoramic crater views.

HighlightsGreat Wildebeest Migration • Big cats • UNESCO-listed plains.


Depart early for the Serengeti, passing through Ngorongoro’s highlands. Opt for a detour to Olduvai Gorge, the “Cradle of Humankind,” where ancient human fossils were discovered.

A picnic lunch by the Seronera River offers moments of serenity before returning to camp, enriched by the day’s raw beauty.
