Arrival in Tarangire National Park
Arrival in Tarangire National Park
Upon arrival in Tanzania, you'll leave the city of Arusha and head to Tarangire National Park (journey time of approximately 2 hours). Tarangire is a seasonal park and the long dry season (June to October) is the best time to visit, as during these months the park offers incredible wildlife viewing opportunities. You can expect to see African big game favorites, including large herds of elephants congregating along the riverbanks and waterholes. Tarangire is also one of the few parks in Tanzania where you can enjoy night safaris, as well as walking safaris and fly camping trips.

Lake Manyara National Park
After breakfast, you'll be driven to Lake Manyara National Park, located beneath the cliffs of the Manyara Escarpment, on the edge of the Rift Valley. The alkaline soda of Lake Manyara, which covers 230 square kilometers, attracts pink flamingos and other birdlife. You’ll also see resident hippo pods at the lake. The park is known for its tree-climbing lions, large herds of elephants, wildebeests, buffalo, giraffes, zebra, warthog, and impala, plus you may be lucky enough to spot leopards and hyenas. There’s also a huge primate population, including a common monkey, vervet monkey, and baboons. You can spot wildlife on a canoe safari on the lake.

Ngorongoro Crater
You'll set out from your lodge early this morning and journey to the Ngorongoro Crater, a unique natural phenomenon and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The Crater is undoubtedly one of the most breathtaking wildlife safari sites in the world, with the 600-meter high crater wall offering incredible wildlife viewing opportunities. You can expect to see a diverse range of wildlife, including buffalo, warthog, wildebeest, zebra, hippo, and elephant. There’s also a huge population of predators: lion, hyena, jackal, cheetah, and leopard. The resident population of black rhino is a real treat, as they’re very difficult to spot elsewhere in Tanzania.
After a picnic lunch, you continue your journey to the Serengeti. Enjoy your first game drives through the southern Serengeti and check in to your luxury safari camp by late afternoon.

Day 4
Serengeti National Park
Serengeti National Park
Enjoy a full day on safari in the Serengeti. The park offers some of the best wildlife viewings in Africa and is home to the greatest wildlife spectacle on Earth, the Great Migration.
Every year, over two million wildebeests and zebra migrate north from Serengeti National Park to the Masai Mara Reserve in Kenya. The herds must brave the perilous Mara River, which runs through the Masai Mara Game Reserve on the Kenyan side and Serengeti National Park on the Tanzanian side. They face treacherous water currents and dangerous predators as they cross the river in search of greener pastures. With crocodiles lurking in the muddy waters and lions, cheetahs, leopards, and hyenas patrolling the river banks, this is a particularly dangerous time to be a wildebeest or a zebra.
