Day 1
Arusha to Tarangire
Arusha to Tarangire
After a short safari briefing in the morning, you will travel southwest towards the Tarangire National Park. The park has a diversity of landscapes, including grass, acacia woodlands and forests. It is especially popular for its huge elephant herds and animals gathering at the river and swamps. Animals range from swarms of yellow-breasted lovebirds to kudu, buffalo, giraffe, eland, and the weird-looking gerenuk. Predators include lions, leopards and hyenas, while wild dogs are rare.
In the late afternoon, you will arrive at the Bougainvillea Safari Lodge, which is close to Ngorongoro. There, you will have dinner and your overnight stay.

Day 2
Serengeti National Park
Serengeti National Park
After breakfast, you will leave the hotel and drive via the Ngorongoro area to Serengeti National Park. It is recommended that you time your trip to coincide with the drier months (June to October). Aim for June and July if you can, as the incredible wildebeest migration usually tramples the plains at this time. If you're keen on seeing predators in action, visit in late January or February. This is the hiatus in the annual rains when the wildebeests calve. In the evening, drive to Thorn Tree Camp for dinner and your overnight stay.

Serengeti National Park full-day game drive
You will have a full-day game drive around Serengeti National Park. If the migration of wildebeest is around, you can see them. The Serengeti offers some of the best wildlife viewing in Africa. All the major safari animals occur in great numbers; cheetahs and 4 of the Big 5 are easily seen, but rhino sightings are rare (only black rhinos are present). Aside from the big cats, many other predators can be seen, including spotted hyenas (especially in the morning). In the evening, drive to Thorn Tree Camp for dinner and your overnight stay.

Serengeti National Park is a magical place where you can find different landscapes and vegetation cover, rivers, and forests. Several areas in the Serengeti are dotted with "koppies", granite outcrops rising from the plains. It's an immense landscape that is quite stunning.

Ngorongoro Crater to Arusha
Enjoy an early morning game drive in the crater until lunchtime. Conditions at Ngorongoro vary depending on the altitude. Higher up, at the crater itself, it can get quite cold at night, particularly on the rim. Down in the crater conservation area, it stays quite warm. During the area's Dry season (June to October) there's barely a cloud in the sky. In the Wet season (November to May), you'll confront two periods of rain separated by a brief dry spell.
After lunch, you will drive to Arusha.
