Day 1

Arusha to Tarangire National Park

Arusha to Tarangire National Park

In the morning, you will start your safari with a drive to the Tarangire National Park. The park is roughly the size of Luxemburg and covers an area of about 2,600sq km. Bush savannah, seasonal swamps, and giant baobab trees make up the landscape of this nature reserve and the park is probably one of the best places in East Africa to see elephants. From the open roof of the safari vehicle, you will be able to watch them and absorb the landscape. Apart from elephants, the park is also home to Masai giraffes, various gazelles, antelopes, buffaloes, lions, leopards, baboons, and more than 500 types of birds. After an extensive game drive, you will leave the park and drive to Karatu for an overnight stay.

Day 2

Serengeti National Park

Serengeti National Park

After breakfast, you will make your way to Serengeti National Park for a full-day game drive (and picnic lunch). A million wildebeest, each one driven by the same ancient rhythm, fulfil their instinctive role in the inescapable cycle of life here. Serengeti has really special sights, sounds, and smells of Africa with stunning scenery, ever-changing light, and entertaining wildlife. In this park, the animals don’t walk to any schedule so we may find lions, leopards, elephants, zebras, cheetahs, antelopes, gazelles, hippos, and many species of birds and reptiles during our game drive. Here you might spend your day in the central park area or your guide will know where to take you according to the season (migration of the animals). Your dinner and overnight stay will be at Serengeti Into Wild Africa Tented Camp.

Main Destination:

Best Time To Visit January to February and June to October (Different areas are best at different times)

Ngorongoro Crater

After an early breakfast, you will enter the Ngorongoro Crater on a steep and narrow road. The slopes are forested, but the landscape changes to savannah dotted with the occasional acacia tree. The wildlife here is breathtaking and if you are lucky you might spot the Big Five—lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino, and leopard. The crater is also home to warthogs, wildebeests, zebras, hippos, hyenas, and many more. After a morning full of game viewing and a picnic lunch you will leave the crater in the afternoon and head to Karatu for an overnight stay.

Some interesting facts about craters:
