Arusha to Tarangire National Park
Arusha to Tarangire National Park
Upon arrival at Arusha city, a private safari guide will meet you, and you will start your adventurous drive of about 2 hours to Tarangire National Park. The park is named after the Tarangire River which runs through it. This river is the only water source for wildlife in the region during the Dry season. In places, the vegetation is quite dense, including elephant grass and acacia woodlands.
The park is well known for its elephant families, which can often be seen congregating by the river. Tarangire is the best place to see these gentle giants in their natural habitat. You may also see giraffe, bushbuck and hartebeest. These animals are closely followed by a range of predators, including lions and leopards. There are more breeding species of birds found in Tarangire National Park than anywhere else on the planet.
After lunch and an extensive game drive, we head to our accommodation for dinner and overnight.

Day 2
Tarangire to Serengeti National Park
Tarangire to Serengeti National Park
After an early breakfast, we depart for Serengeti National Park, undoubtedly the best-known wildlife sanctuary in the world. It is unequalled for its natural beauty and scientific value and has the greatest concentration of plains game in Africa. The Serengeti is truly spectacular and is Tanzania's oldest national park. It is also one of the oldest ecosystems on earth. Its climate and vegetation have mainly remained untouched for millions of years.
Whilst the Serengeti boasts abundant wildlife, it is perhaps best known for its annual great migration. Vast numbers of wildebeest, accompanied by large numbers of zebra and antelope, move in an annual pattern, constantly seeking fresh grazing. The precise timing of the migration depends upon the rainfall patterns each year. A packed lunch will be served at a picnic site. In the late afternoon, we will drive you to your accommodation for dinner and overnight.

Serengeti to Ngorongoro Crater
Serengeti to Ngorongoro Crater
After an early breakfast, we depart to the Ngorongoro Crater. When you first see the crater, it looks like a forgotten world. Concealed by the steep volcanic walls is a pristine wilderness including sweeping savannah, pockets of acacia woodland and glistening lakes and swamps. The crater was created when a large volcano exploded and collapsed in on itself 2 to 3 million years ago. It is famous for its geological delights and being a natural reserve home to some of the densest large mammal populations on the African continent.
The drive down into the crater is an adventure in itself. When you reach the crater floor, you quickly find yourself amongst large numbers of wildebeest, zebra, gazelle, and more than 500 bird species. The crater provides the best chance of seeing the endangered black rhino, which can sometimes be spotted in the open grasslands.
Late afternoon, drive to your accommodation for dinner and overnight.
