After breakfast at your accommodation, depart to Tarangire National Park for a full-day game drive with your packed picnic lunch. Tarangire National Park is a lovely, quiet park in northern Tanzania located slightly off the main safari route. The park has some of the highest population density of elephants compared to anywhere in Tanzania, and its sparse vegetation, strewn with baobab and acacia trees, makes it a beautiful and distinctive location to visit.

Enjoy your beautiful breakfast at your accommodation in Karatu and drive to the western Serengeti known as the “western corridor” Flanking the Western Corridor is the unfenced Grumeti Game Reserve, a 138 000-hectare private concession which serves as a wildlife corridor for the animals making the migration between the Masai Mara and the Serengeti in June and July. The concession not only offers superb migration sightings with few other vehicles around but also lush, green landscapes of woodlands, rivers and rolling hills, as well as year-round leopard and lion populations.
Dry weather, lush landscapes, clear skies and the Great Migration herds’ crossings of the Grumeti River makes June a wonderful month to visit the Serengeti.

Serengeti to Ngorongoro Crater
Serengeti to Ngorongoro Crater
After a delicious breakfast at your accommodation in the Serengeti, with your packed picnic boxes, you will proceed for the full-day game drive inside the Ngorongoro Crater. The Ngorongoro Conservation Area is the largest unbroken, unflooded volcanic caldera in the world. It is a scenic showstopper that extends across an astonishing 260 square kilometers. The crater is hemmed in on all sides by sheer, craggy walls that rise to 600 meters above the floor. The view from the lushly forested rim is utterly stunning and would justify a visit to Ngorongoro in its own right.
This spectacular crater also stands as one of Africa’s most alluring safari destinations, supporting solid populations of all of the Big Five (elephant, lion, leopard, black rhino and buffalo), plus a host of other iconic large mammals. It is a lush and scenic landscape that frequently draws comparisons to the metaphorical “Garden of Eden”. After the game drive, ascend the crater and drive to Karatu.
