Transfer from Arusha to Tarangire NP
Your private safari guide will pick you at your hotel in Arusha at 7:30 am and you will make your way to Tarangire National Park, famous for its wide number of elephants. Tarangire is huge. As you stand at the park gate and look south, it stretches as far as the eye can see. Known as the ‘Elephant Playground,’ this phenomenal park contains huge herds of these mighty mammals. But Tarangire is also home to buffalo, lion, wildebeest, zebra and gazelle and the park can rival Serengeti for sheer animal densities. You will spot several animals including zebras, Grant’s gazelle and many others. In the late afternoon, you will make your way out of the park and drive to your lodge for dinner and your overnight stay.

Transfer to Serengeti NP
After an early breakfast you will be transferred to Serengeti National Park. With Serengeti as our destination, and with the wonders of Tarangire still fresh in your mind, we'll set out to the north and west for our 3 hour journey. On the way, you can quiz your driver-guide about all aspects of Tanzanian culture, traditions, and tribes and of course wildlife. Treat him as an ‘encyclopedia on legs’, he will rarely disappoint with his answers! In no time, you too will feel like an expert, even before you reach the awesome Serengeti plains. On arrival, we will take lunch before embarking on our afternoon game drive. Your afternoon game drive here combines the known with the unknown, the certainty that you will be amazed with the uncertainty of exactly what you will see and when. Late in the afternoon, drive to the comfort of your tented camp for dinner and your overnight stay.
