This unforgettable safari with Kili Vista Expeditions explores Lake Manyara National Park, known for its diverse habitats, rich birdlife, and famous tree-climbing lions; continues into the wildlife-packed Central Serengeti, a paradise for big cats and sweeping plains game; journeys onward to the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater, celebrated for its dramatic scenery and exceptional wildlife density; and concludes in Tarangire National Park, home to vast elephant herds and towering baobab trees, before returning to Arusha..
Your adventure with Kili Vista Expeditions begins at 8:30 AM with a pickup from your Arusha hotel, followed by a scenic drive to Lake Manyara National Park. Enjoy a full-day game drive with a packed picnic lunch as you explore lush Acacia and Mahogany forests, open floodplains, and the lake’s sparkling shoreline. Keep an eye out for buffaloes, giraffes, impalas, baboons, blue monkeys, and—if luck is on your side—the famous tree-climbing lions. During the right season, the lakeshore turns pink with thousands of flamingos. After your game drive, Kili Vista Expeditions will transfer you to your lodge or camp for dinner and relaxation.
After breakfast, Kili Vista Expeditions departs toward Serengeti National Park, passing through the scenic highlands of Karatu and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. As you descend into the iconic Serengeti plains, endless grassy landscapes stretch toward the horizon. You’ll head into the central Serengeti, known as the Seronera region—one of the park’s richest wildlife zones, thanks to the permanent Seronera River. Arrive in time for lunch, followed by an afternoon game drive in search of big cats, plains game, and other Serengeti residents. Dinner and overnight at your Serengeti accommodation.
Today, explore the heart of the Serengeti with Kili Vista Expeditions. You may choose a relaxed start with breakfast followed by a full-day game drive, or depart at sunrise for early wildlife viewing—returning later for breakfast and heading back out for an afternoon drive. The Seronera region is famous for its year-round lion and leopard populations, dramatic wildlife interactions, kopjes (rock formations), and abundant grazing animals. Enjoy a picnic lunch in the bush before continuing your exploration. The day concludes with dinner and a peaceful overnight stay.
After breakfast, enjoy a final morning game drive in the Serengeti before journeying toward the Ngorongoro Conservation Area with a packed picnic lunch.

After arriving at your lodge, unwind and enjoy dinner overlooking the highlands.
Start early for a spectacular descent into the Ngorongoro Crater around 6:30 AM. Spend approximately five hours exploring this wildlife-rich natural wonder, home to elephants, rhinos, lions, buffaloes, hippos, zebras, hyenas, jackals, flamingos, and diverse birdlife. After a picnic lunch at the scenic Hippo Pool, ascend the crater rim and continue to your Tarangire accommodation. Enjoy a warm dinner and well-deserved rest before your final safari day.

Known for its towering baobab trees and massive elephant herds, Tarangire offers stunning landscapes and excellent wildlife sightings, including lions, leopards, cheetahs, giraffes, kudu, elands, buffaloes, oryx, and zebras.
