Their pattern of movement is highly weather dependent and dynamic, yet with advance planning and a little bit of luck you can witness this natural wildlife wonder. This safari covers other National Parks too, where you can witness resident game. The tour is available throughout the year, but opting for it in the right season will leave you awestruck. To provide you with an unforgettable experience, this safari can be done only as a private safari. The choice of accommodation available is mid range to luxury grade tented camps and lodges




Your safari will begin by 8AM in the morning with a pick up from your hotel at Arusha. Once everyone is aboard, you will head towards Tarangire National Park. The 150 Km drive will be covered in about 3hrs. The national park is extremely famous and special for its diverse landscape and nine different vegetation zones. As you begin your game drive, you will be welcomed by the ancient and gigantic Baobab trees, which make even animals like the giraffe look tiny. The game drive goes on till about late afternoon and includes a small stop for a picnic lunch. The 3,000 Sq Kms park gets its name from the Tarangire river that flows through it.
The river attracts a lot of diverse animals and you should be able to spot a lot of elephants, giraffe, lions, antelopes and zebra. If it’s your lucky day, you might be able to spot the tree climbing python and the long necked Gerek. The Tarangire National Park has the highest concentration of elephants, which offers a unique chance for you to observe interactions between elephant families. Don’t forget to capture this beautiful scenery with your camera ready at hand. Post the game drive, you will head back to your camp/lodge where a delicious dinner awaits you. Have good night’s sleep for tomorrow's adventure.
You will kickstart your day after a delicious breakfast by about 8AM. The destination for today is the Ndutu region which is a 3hr drive from your accommodation in Karatu. After about an hour commencing the drive, you will enter the Ngorongoro Conservation Area (NCA) where you will notice the landscape changing from hilly forests to plain and green grasslands as you drive further. Once you reach Ndutu you will begin your day’s game drive with a convenient stop for your picnic lunch. Sweeping grasslands of the Ndutu cover the region which gradually fade into the Ngorongoro conservation area and the Serengeti. Ndutu forms a part of the route for the annual migration of more than 2 million wildebeests and thousands of zebra, antelope and gazelle. During game drives at the right season between December and April, you will be able to see the fertile plains turn into calving grounds and nursery for the great migration.
This season attracts hordes of predators prying on vulnerable young wildebeest. Crested with Ndutu lake and Lake Masek, these waterholes offer plenty of wildlife game during the dry season. The Ndutu is also the home ground for 6 species of big cats – leopard, lion, cheetah, caracal, serval and wildcat. The action-packed game drive will end late in the evening by around 5PM. You will now head towards your choice of accommodation, where a freshly prepared dinner awaits you. Ensure you get some good rest and recharge yourself for another eventful day.
tunned by the previous days spotting of the migration, today you get another chance to view the beautiful wildlife spectacle. The Ndutu region is a part of the glorious Serengeti National Park as well as the Ngorongoro Conservation Area (NCA). Heading out for a full day game drive after breakfast, today you will be following the migration depending on its location in either NCA or Serengeti.
During game drives at the right season between December and April, you will be able to see the fertile plains turn into calving grounds and nursery for the great migration.

The excitement for today will be quite high as you make your way into the most celebrated wildlife park in the world – The Serengeti. After finishing up a good breakfast, you will head out towards the Serengeti National Park and travel in the midst of the never ending plain grasslands. The Serengeti, means endless plains in the local African language and watching the grassland stretch out as far as the eye can see and eventually merging with the sky at the horizon is an absolutely breathtaking view. With an overall land area of 14,763 Sq Kms, It puts our notion about distance to shame. The Serengeti also houses the glorious “Big 5” (elephant, rhino, buffalo, lion and leopard).
Along with the “Big 5”, a very pleasant sighting would be one of Africa’s most beautiful animal – The Impala. The Serengeti ecosystem supports the greatest remaining concentration of plains game in Africa. You must also look out for the Serengeti “Kopjes” which are massive boulders of granite standing in a sea of grass. They provide ample shelter to a large variety of flora and fauna. A picnic lunch will be done during the day long game drive itself. The eventful day comes to an end with a heavy dinner and a good night’s rest in your accommodation.
Starting your full day game drive by 8AM after a filling breakfast, you will explore the central portion of the Serengeti National Park today. The legendary Serengeti National Park is the most renowned safari destination for its incredible population of lions and leopards. The central portion of the Serengeti - known as Seronera area is one of the richest wildlife habitats in the park. It features the Seronera River, which provides a valuable water source to this area and therefore attracts wildlife well representative of most of the Serengeti’s species.
During the off season of the migration, one must really look out for the many lion prides that thrive in this region. The interactions and survival of these lion prides provide an excellent game viewing experience all year round. Along with a picnic lunch during the full day game drive, the day will come to a close by around 5PM. The long day comes to an end with a heavy dinner and a good night’s rest in your accommodation. Get a good nap, for the following day you will move towards the Ngorongoro crater.
For your safari today, by 9AM in the morning you will head out for a short game drive in the Serengeti after a good breakfast. After completing a half day game drive along with a picnic lunch, we will branch out and head towards the Ngorongoro crater rim. The 75 km drive to Ngorongoro Crater rim will take about 2.5 hrs, with mild game action to see on the way. The crater is one of Africa’s impressive geological attraction and supreme mecca of wilderness. The eventful day comes to an end with a heavy dinner and a good rest in your choice of accommodation. Get a good rest and refuel yourself, for the following day you will descend into the massive crater.
On the last day of your safari, you will have an early start. Finishing up with a quick breakfast you will make an early descend at around 6:30AM into the crater floor. The Ngorongoro crater is the world’s largest inactive, intact and unfilled volcanic caldera. It has a massive floor of about 260 sq kms with a depth of over 2000 feet. The 5-hour game drive in the crater floor, will show you a lot of animal action.
Keeping the camera ready is definitely recommended. The African elephant, buffalo, Black rhino, Hippos, Hyenas, Cheetahs and Lions are found in plenty. Post the picnic lunch at the beautiful Hippo pool, you will begin a steep ascend to the top exit of the crater. This is the last leg of your safari, with a 4hr drive left to Arusha. You will be dropped off to your preferred location in Arusha by 6PM in the evening. With an incredible experience and loads of memories to cherish, this is the time you bid goodbye to your team.

EXCELLENT Based on 312 reviews Thierry2025-06-16Verified Kilimanjaro via Machame - Polé polé! We made the ascent of Kilimanjaro by the Machame in early June.The team was on top! Patrick (guide), Michael (assistant guide), Jeremiah (cook) and all the others allowed us to enjoy this adventure and put every chance to get there.Not having any acclimatization problems, we asked to achieve in 6 days instead of 7. Preparation After several comparative researches, we contacted Emmanuel de Tanzania Joy Tours in February to prepare our adventure. The exchanges were fluid and clear. The prices charged in the normal way.A deposit is required and the balance is paid on site - provide cash $ to avoid 4% overload (common practice in Tanzania).FoodThe food was excellent, varied to keep the appetite and in large quantities. A hot water thermos was available at each meal for drinks (tea, coffee, chocolate).Breakfast: a porridge of millet, omelets, sausages, pancakes/bread with peanut butter / jam / etc.Lunch & dinner: soup, a main course (rice/pasta + vegetables + chicken/fish) and dessert (fresh fruit)Snack before dinner: popcorn + hot drink Ascension The "polé polé" rhythm is given by the guide and his assistant to acclimatize to the altitude. Taking Diamox is not mandatory but recommended.The porters dismantle, transport to human strength and set up camp to welcome us every step of the way. The last camp is particularly demanding for them because they have to transport water from the previous camp. Sabrina M2025-02-23Verified We had a great 3 days safari! Very easy straight forward organization process and communication with Emmanuel. All our requests were accomodated. Our guide was very nice and knowledgeable, tried his best to make the most of our trip. The lodge Eileens Trees Inn was very comfortable, service and food was good. Can definitely recommend! Shai b2024-10-23Verified Unforgettable experience. First I want to mention that our guide was amazing. He has a lot of knowledge about the area, the people and of course the animals. Very patient and insightful. He often shared facts about the area and animals.So, Roger if you are reading this thank you once again for this unforgettable safari. You helped create many beautiful memories for me and my family. Then the Safari. In short we were very lucky on our safari. On day one we drove to the conservation area. We already encountered 3 of the big 5: lions, African buffalos and elephants. At the end of our safari we completed the entire big 5. We saw so many more animals. I wish I could remember it all.Our second day we added the leopard to our big five list. We went all over the Serengeti National Park. Again we saw many lions, zebras, gnu (wildebeests), antilopes, impalas, baboons, vultures and many more.The third day and fourth day were amazing we went from our camp in the Serengeti to our camp in ngorongoro. Where we completed our big 5 list.Every meal during the Safari we enjoyed with our guide and he shared many stories.This review doesn't do entire experience any justice. It is a lot to take in. But also a lifetime to enjoy them.Thank you for a safe and unforgettable experience. Elspeth_Norton2024-10-21Verified Highly recommend! We did the 6 day Rongai Route, our guide was Ringo with assistant guide Eden. We had an excellent trip. Ringo was an experienced and very capable guide, he allowed us some flexibility with timing but also made sure we were on track. We made it to the top with only some mild altitude symptoms. I felt safe in Ringo and the team's hands. The porters, chef and waiter also made the trip very enjoyable - we were so grateful for their hard work. I was so impressed at the food we were served throughout the whole journey. Fresh fruits and vegetables even on the last day!Again, we are so grateful to the whole team. I would recommend TJ Tours to anyone thinking about climbing Kilimanjaro! Explorer404410003352024-09-20Verified TJT: Very professional! We had such a great time with Emmanuel‘s Tanzania Joy Tour and all his Partners! Emmanuel and his sister Mary find a solution for everything. Very professional. The Kilimandjaro trek was so great. A huge thanks to the porters, so strong and so nice, Togolai Gerevas Gerard Godefroy Elias Thomas Bon Kolokolo Rashid Mohamed Ali (that's two persons), cook “Mr. Delicious” Jeremia, and guides Patrick and Lennard. They all took extreme good care of us and we managed the summit. Patrick knows his mountain and his team very well, Lennard is the Pacemaker. We chose the 8 Days Lemosho route for best acclimatization of the body, so it was pole pole (slowly slowly) and successful ;) The summit ascension (from midnight to 7am, so at night) was very cold so to any layers you plan to wear, take an extra fleece jacket in the backpack just in case. It was important for us to give the tips directly to each of them, which was accepted by the guide. It was good to see joy in the eyes of each of them. If this is also important for you, make sure to plan it with the guide (he knows who does what exactly - some porters take extra tasks). You may feel some friction, apparently some guides keep a percentage of the porters tips for themselves - remember, this is YOUR gift to each team member, so it is YOUR decision to give it personally to each of them. Now it is important to discuss the best time with the guide, to not jeopardize his organization - usually at the very end, when all tasks have been completed. Make sure to take USD bank notes printed after 2006 as the older ones cannot be used in Tanzania. EURO bank notes are also accepted for the tips.Then we had a great 4-day-safari with guide Roger (he knows so much! And is very kind) and cook Rashid. Thanks TJT for everything! Bas i2024-09-18Verified Great Team at Tanzania Joy Tours. TJT gave my daughter and I a great experience climbing Mt Kilimanjaro in 6 days. Our guides Ringo & Eden kept us on track and ensured we summited safely. Everything was well organized. The team of porters were a cheerful group of lads doing all the heavy work which was greatly appreciated. Thanks also to Peter and Arthur we weren't short for good meals every day. Susanne M2024-09-07Verified Expectations exceeded🤗👍 The 4 days actually exceeded our expectations (3 people) Not only had everything worked perfectly organizationally, but it was also 4 days of most intense different impressions and immersion in a beautiful other world. Of course, success depends on the tour guide. We were lucky to have Rogers, a very sympathetic and competent driver, who could answer any question about the animals but also about the plant life. These 4 days and the kindness of the people will be remembered forever. Ninette S2024-08-22Verified Loved it Hiked Kilimanjaro with TJT and my team of 8 great women from got. We ended up with the best tour guides .. ringo - Arther - Michael - and EdenThey were all very supportive and trying to make the group feel welcome and comfy Can’t thank them enough Ricardo2024-07-14Verified Kilimanjaro with Dreamteam Patrick We settled from home with Emanuel and he organized us extra nights, taxis and our rental car in Zanzibar.Once in Tanzania, we were transported to the office and briefed for the Kilimanjaro. We were also introduced to the guide who controlled our equipment with us and added missing material. The climb to Kilimanjaro was beautiful and we had the perfect team by our side: Dreamteam Patrick. The team took great care of us, our well-being and always responded to our needs. They always cooked deliciously and we could always exchange ideas with Patrick in English. Also the porters were always friendly and set up. The dream team had also organized a birthday surprise for my sister at the end of the Kilimanjaro trip. It was lonely class. Thank you very much for everything and the wonderful moments and memories that we now carry with us throughout our lives. Anasthasia N2024-07-10Verified Unforgettable experience!!! Everything went well from communication with Emmanuel before the trip to the end of the trip. We were very satisfied with the pick up service at the airport until the top of the kilimandjaro. We loved our team and especially our guides Francis and Then we recommend with our eyes closed:)They really helped us reach the final summit by motivating and giving us energy! This is a trip I would never forget:)
