Tarangire National Park
Tarangire National Park
Today after breakfast, you will drive to Tarangire National Park with lunch boxes. The drive to Tarangire National Park is about 110km and takes about 2 hours from Arusha
Tarangire National Park is a huge park best known for its large herds of elephants, but it’s also great for lion and leopard, wonderful for bird life and a great variety of landscape and wildlife. The gorgeous Silale Swamp, towards the south of the park, is magnificent—and almost always rich in wildlife taking advantage of this reliable water source. The park provides water not only from the swamp, but also from the Tarangire River—and during the dry season it’s the primary source of water for animals from the entire area, making for fantastic wildlife viewing.
You will have your lunch in the park (your driver guide will pick a picnic site) and thereafter, continue with the game drive. Parks normally open at 6:00 am to 6:00 pm—you will be at your next lodge in time for dinner.

Ngorongoro crater to Serengeti National Park
Ngorongoro crater to Serengeti National Park
Today you will drive to the stunning Ngorongoro Crater. It’s a 2 hour drive from Serengeti. This Crater is the world’s largest intact collapsed caldera (volcano) which is a self-contained ecosystem with its own unique population of wildlife in a confined area of amazing variety.
The crater boasts lots of lions, hyenas, fantastic birdlife, servals, Cape buffalo, zebras and gorgeous landscapes. Also there is an added advantage of seeing rhino’s, if you are lucky. The views from the veranda of the lodges are breathtaking especially in the morning with the early morning mist, because of the high altitude (it can be visited at any time of the year).
You will have your lunch in the Crater and then you will drive to Serengeti. What is special about Central Serengeti is the wide open spaces, driving through the miles and miles of animals as far as the eye can see, riverine forest and leopard.
