Tarangire National Park

After a morning safari briefing, you will head to the Tarangire National Park. You will be able to see giant baobab trees, bush savannahs, and seasonal marshes, which add to the wonder of this national park. The park is one of the best places to view elephants up close and is also home to buffaloes, zebras, and wildebeests, which are always closely followed by a range of predators such as lions. Although leopards are seen now and then, cheetahs are rarely spotted. From the open roof of the safari Jeep, you will absorb the landscape and watch the animals. In the late afternoon, you will leave the park and drive to the lodge to spend the night.

Day 2

Lake Natron

Lake Natron

Today, you will an options start your day early by walking around Lake Natron with local guides in search of the lesser flamingo.

Most of the egg-laying and hatching occurs from September to January, peaking between October and early December. Due to the lake's steeply alkaline waters, there are limited bird species besides the waterfowl. Around mid morning, you will leave Lake Natron for Serengeti, about a 4-hour drive. This drive offers an excellent opportunity to see the ever-changing landscapes of Tanzania, from arid to lusher and greener surroundings of the Rift Valley.
