Day 2

Manyara to Serengeti National Park

Manyara to Serengeti National Park

After breakfast, you will drive to Serengeti via Ngorongoro and later depart to the most celebrated wildlife park in the world - the Serengeti - with a packed lunch. The drive will take you to the midst of the endless plains of grassland.

Serengeti means the "endless plain" in the local African language. Watching the grassland stretch out as far as the eye can see and eventually merge with the sky at the horizon, is an absolutely breathtaking view. The Serengeti is home to the glorious Big 5 (elephant, lion, buffalo, leopard, and rhino). Along with the Big 5, a very pleasant sighting would be one of the most beautiful animals, the impala. The ecosystem supports the greatest remaining concentration of plains game in Africa. The eventful day comes to an end after taking a hot shower, a very nice dinner, and a good rest after another eventful day.

Main Destination:
Serengeti National Park
Best Time To Visit January to February and June to October (Different areas are best at different times)

Serengeti National Park

You will notice wildlife trails made by generations of animals impossible to see from the ground. After breakfast, you will continue with a game drive and have a picnic lunch in the afternoon.

The Serengeti National Park derives its name from the Maasai language meaning "endless plain". This massive plain (14,763 sq km) is a natural habitat for many animals and birdlife. In many cases, the migration takes place around the Serengeti. Millions of wildebeest and zebra mingle followed by predators. There will be 2 sessions of game safaris in a Jeep that take you to vantage points to witness this great phenomenon that you can't find anywhere else in the world.

The game drive in this area features the 610m-deep crater which was formed 3 million years ago due to a large volcano that exploded and collapsed, creating a natural amphitheater.

Day 5

Ngorongoro to Tarangire National Park

Ngorongoro to Tarangire National Park

Tarangire covers 2,850 sq km and runs along the Tarangire River. This park is famous for its huge population of elephants, diverse wildlife, and also the baobab trees. Game drives through Tarangire National Park are particularly thrilling during the dry season as the wildlife clusters closer to the Tarangire River. This offers a great opportunity to see plenty of animals in one place and to witness the predator-prey relationship in action. Later in the evening, you will be transferred back to Arusha.
