Following a morning safari briefing, your adventure will commence as you travel to Tarangire National Park. This natural sanctuary features majestic baobab trees, bush savannahs, and seasonal marshes that add to its allure. It is renowned as an exceptional destination for up-close elephant encounters.

In addition to elephants, the park is inhabited by buffalos, zebras, and wildebeests, often shadowed by a variety of predators, including lions. Although sightings of leopards are occasional, cheetahs are a rare sight.

During the journey, you'll have the opportunity to appreciate the landscape and observe wildlife from the open roof of the safari jeep. As the day progresses into the late afternoon, you'll leave the park and proceed to the lodge for a comfortable overnight stay.

Serengeti National Park

After enjoying your breakfast, you'll set off on a journey towards Serengeti National Park. This route will lead you through the charming highland farmlands of Karatu and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.

As you bid farewell to the highlands, you'll venture deeper into the heart of untamed Africa. The drive will guide you to the Seronera area, situated in the central part of the park and celebrated as one of Serengeti's most abundant wildlife habitats.

This region is crisscrossed by the Seronera River, a crucial water source that draws a diverse array of wildlife, representing a majority of the Serengeti's species. Arriving in due time, you'll enjoy a picnic lunch and engage in an afternoon game drive within Serengeti National Park.

Day 3

Serengeti National Park

Serengeti National Park

After your morning meal, you'll commence a game-viewing drive along the Sogore River Circuit, a trail that meanders through the plains south of Seronera River. This route offers opportunities for spotting lions, Thomson's gazelles, topis, ostriches, and cheetahs. Once your morning exploration concludes, make sure not to miss the Visitor Centre, conveniently situated near Serengeti Seronera Lodge.

In the afternoon, you'll follow the Kopjes Circuit, which leads you around the Maasai Kopjes in a counterclockwise direction. These kopjes, weathered granite outcrops, are scattered across the plains and function as self-contained ecosystems, providing shade and water pools after rainfall.

They prove especially beneficial for observing wildlife during the dry season, as lions frequently await prey at the watering holes. Remarkably large cobras also inhabit these kopjes.
