Welcome to Tanzania – Worry free VIP meet & greet at Kilimanjaro Airport. Our Visa Specialist will meet you right on the tarmac and welcome you to the beautiful country of Tanzania. He will issue your Tanzania Visas (all costs included), making your arrival to East Africa easy and efficient. With Vencha Travel you'll skip the long lines! Your safari will be 100% escorted and chauffeured from arrival to departure. It's a 45-minute drive to your first accommodations.

Fly to the majestic Serengeti to witness this famous park's teeming wildlife. Depart at 8.00am on a 90-minute flight to the North Serengeti where your very own private vehicle and personal driver-guide will be waiting. Explore the Mara River today, which is most famous for the legendary wildebeest crossing, a dramatic event featured in countless wildlife documentaries. Hippos abound in these dark waters, along with massive Nile crocodiles looming just below the murky surface. Witness the most amazing wildlife spectacle in Africa, the Great Migration. Depart at sunrise to cross the Mara River and embark on a full day adventure drive to explore the Lamai Triangle. Lamai's verdant grasslands serve as a critical refuge for the wildebeest migration from July to November. It's one of East Africa's best kept secrets that during the dry season, the secluded Lamai Triangle holds more of the migration then the more touristy Masai Mara game reserve to the north.

Choose from several exciting optional tours as you depart the Serengeti. Today you will game drive to the Crater with optional tours along the way including an excursion to the Matiti Plains (the main wildebeest calving grounds), a tour of the famous archaeological site at Olduvai Gorge or a visit to a traditional Maasai Village. Few places in the world can match the Serengeti's long human history and this fact has earned this part of Africa the title 'Cradle of Mankind'. Aim to be the first vehicle in the famous Ngorongoro Crater this morning! Descend the steep walls of the Crater for an early morning game drive and enjoy this amazing sanctuary undisturbed from other visitors. After tracking down the Crater's rare black rhinos, massive bull elephants and famed black-maned lions, head over to Ngoitokitok Springs and indulge in a bush picnic with superb hippo viewing. Complete your circumnavigation of the Crater before returning to your accommodations.

Discover Lake Manyara National Park as you descend the Great Rift Valley. Descend the windy road that leads from the Crater to Lake Manyara, which is nestled at the base of the Great Rift Valley. After exploring the park's varied habitats, choose from several exciting optional tours this afternoon, shopping excursions in Arusha or the Poli Village cultural tour. Enjoy a day room in Arusha and a farewell dinner before departing to Kilimanjaro Airport.
