Tour Plan

Arrive at Kilimanjaro International Airport or Arusha town, where you’ll meet your safari guide. Begin your adventure with a scenic drive to Tarangire National Park, known for its large elephant herds and baobab trees. Enjoy an afternoon game drive spotting zebras, lions, giraffes, and maybe even elusive leopards. Stay overnight at a budget-friendly campsite or lodge just outside the park, soaking in the sounds of the African wilderness.

After an early breakfast, depart for Lake Manyara National Park, famous for its tree-climbing lions and flamingo-filled alkaline lake. Spend the day on game drives exploring diverse habitats — from lush forests to open savannah — spotting hippos, baboons, and a dazzling variety of birds. In the evening, relax at a basic lodge or tented camp offering clean, comfortable accommodation within your budget.

Today, drive to the world-famous Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Descend into the crater for a full-day game drive in one of Africa’s most concentrated wildlife havens. Watch for elephants, rhinos, lions, and vast herds of wildebeest and zebra roaming the crater floor. Return to your budget lodge or campsite on the crater rim, where breathtaking sunset views await.

Early morning departure to the legendary Serengeti National Park. Enter the vast plains teeming with wildlife — from prides of lions to graceful cheetahs and massive buffalo herds. Enjoy an afternoon game drive, exploring the open savannah and spotting the iconic Big Five. Overnight at an economical campsite or basic lodge inside or near the park, offering simple amenities and authentic safari atmosphere.

Rise early for a final morning game drive in the Serengeti, catching animals in their most active moments at dawn. After a picnic lunch, start your journey back to Arusha, arriving in the evening for your departure or onward plans. Reflect on your amazing budget-friendly safari filled with incredible wildlife sightings, stunning landscapes, and unforgettable African memories.
