Arusha to Tarangire National Park
Program: After a safari briefing, we arrive at Tarangire National Park with a picnic lunch box. Here, you will enjoy the bush environment decorated with wild animals, giant baobab trees, bush savannah, and seasonal marshes, all adding to the wonder of this national park.
Tarangire National Park is considered one of the best places to view elephants up close. The park is also home to buffaloes, zebras and wildebeest, which are always closely followed by a range of predators such as lions. Leopards are seen now and then, but cheetahs are rarely spotted. From the open roof of the safari vehicle, you will be able to absorb the landscape and watch the animals.
In the late afternoon, you leave the park and drive to the lodge for relaxation and an overnight stay.

Serengeti National Park
Program: After breakfast, you travel to the southern Serengeti with your packed picnic lunch boxes. You reach the plains of the Serengeti National Park. Be ready to see resident predators, lions, cheetahs and leopards!
Serengeti is one of the largest national parks in Tanzania and has a diversity of habitats and amazing landscapes covered by short grass plains, savannah, thick bush, swamps and lakes. Bizarre rock formations, called kopjes, dot the grassy landscape where predators are often seen. Serengeti is famous for its yearly great migration when hundreds of thousands of wildebeests and zebras trek to find fresh grass and water.
After the game drives, we drive to the lodge or hotel for dinner and your overnight stay.

Serengeti National Park
Program: The entire day is dedicated to game viewing in the Serengeti. The areas that you visit will depend upon where the migrating herds are. Predators usually follow closely behind the trekking animals and include lions, leopards (in the acacia trees), and cheetahs.
During the short rainy season in November and December, the herds move from the hills in the north to the plains in the south (Ndutu Area), looking for fresh grass, pastures, and water in preparation for the calving season. They return north during the extended rainy season from April to June. As the migration depends entirely on the yearly rainfalls, the location of the herds may vary from year to year. Your guide will know where to locate the animals and where to see them best.
After the game drives, we drive to the lodge or hotel for dinner and your overnight stay.
