Arusha to Tarangire National Park

Kipe Adventure Safari guide will collect you from your accommodation after breakfast. This morning, you will drive to Tarangire National Park. The transit drive is approximately two and a half hours on good tarmac roads. The park is named after the Tarangire River which runs through it. This ‘river of warthogs’ is the only source of water for wildlife in the region during the dry season. The park is well known for its elephant families, which can often be seen congregating by the river. You may also see giraffes, bushbucks, and hartebeests. These animals are closely followed by a range of predators, including lions and leopards. There are more breeding species of birds found in Tarangire than anywhere else on the planet! The huge and ancient baobab trees can be seen here. Some of them are said to have lived for more than a thousand years.
Lunch will be at a picnic site inside the park. After your game drive, you will transit to your lodge at Mto wa Mbu.

After breakfast, you will head towards Serengeti National Park via the beautiful high-lying farmland of Karatu and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.

You will head to the Central Park area, known as the Seronera area, one of the richest wildlife habitats in the park, featuring the Seronera River, which provides a valuable water source to this area and therefore attracts wildlife well representative of most of the Serengeti’s species. You will arrive in time for lunch at Nabi Gate and enjoy the late afternoon game drive in Serengeti National Park. Your dinner and overnight stay will be at intimate Camp Seronera.

Serengeti National Park to Ngorongoro Crater to Arusha

Today you will have an early morning breakfast then you will leave Serengeti to Ngorongoro Crater and proceed directly to the crater floor for a game drive with a picnic lunch down the crater.

Another big draw card to this picturesque national park is its dense population of predators, which include lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs, and the ever-elusive leopard, which sometimes requires a trained eye to spot later you will drive to your hotel in Arusha or Kilimanjaro/Arusha Airport for departure.
