Early in the morning, after breakfast, we depart for Tarangire National Park. The park is named after the Tarangire River, which runs through it. This "river of warthogs" is the region's only water source for wildlife during the dry season. In places, the vegetation is quite dense, including elephant grass, acacia woodlands and lush groundwater forest. The park is well known for its elephant families, which can often be seen congregating by the river. You may also see giraffes, bushbuck and hartebeest. A range of predators, including lions and leopards, closely follow these animals. More breeding bird species are found in Tarangire National Park than anywhere else on the planet!
After lunch and an extensive game drive, we head for our partner lodges near Tarangire for dinner and overnight.

Lake Manyara National Park
Early morning, after breakfast, we depart for Lake Manyara National Park, an unspoilt paradise best known for its abundance of birds and tree-climbing lions. The dramatic western escarpment of the Rift Valley forms the park's western border. To the east is the shallow, alkaline Lake Manyara. The lake covers a large area of the park, flooding and drying with the seasons and is home to thousands of flamingos during the rains. The name Manyara comes from the Masai word "emanyara", a popular plant used to build a protective enclosure around a family homestead (boma). The park's vegetation is diverse, ranging from savannah to evergreen forest. On exploring the park, you may see giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, buffalos, elephants and, if you are lucky, lions lounging in the trees.
After lunch and an extensive game drive, we head for our comfort partner lodges in Karatu for dinner and an overnight stay.

Serengeti National Park
Serengeti National Park
Early morning, after breakfast, we depart for Serengeti National Park. The Serengeti is genuinely spectacular! It is famous for its vast open grasslands, allowing excellent wildlife sightings. The Serengeti is Tanzania’s oldest national park and one of the oldest ecosystems on earth. Its climate and vegetation have remained largely untouched for millions of years. Whilst the Serengeti boasts abundant wildlife, it is perhaps best known for the annual Great Migration. Vast numbers of wildebeest, accompanied by large numbers of zebra and antelope, move in an annual pattern, constantly seeking fresh grazing. The precise timing of the migration is entirely dependent upon the rainfall patterns each year.
After lunch and an extensive game drive, we head for Embalakai Serengeti Camp for dinner and an overnight stay.

Ngorongoro Crater to Karatu
Ngorongoro Crater to Karatu
After an early breakfast, you will descend the crater almost 600m deep. The crater was created when a large volcano exploded and collapsed in on itself two to three million years ago. It is famous for its geological delights and for being a natural reserve home to some of the densest large mammal populations in the whole of the African continent. The drive into the crater is an adventure in itself, and when you reach the crater floor, you quickly find yourself amongst large numbers of wildebeest, zebra, gazelle, and more than 500 bird species. The crater provides the best chance of seeing the endangered black rhino, which can sometimes be spotted in the open grasslands.
After lunch and an extensive game drive inside the crater, we head for our comfort partner lodges in Karatu for dinner and an overnight stay.
